mediaphage posted:literally the worst company on the planet when it comes to naming their phones though the Arabic number is the hierarchy: 1, then 5, then 10 the Roman numeral is the version III, then IV, then V the 1 V is the “best” one, both in terms of specifications and in terms of actual devices PRO was aimed at video professionals, PRO-I had a 1” camera sensor and was the successor to the PRO. the 1 V is somewhat of a successor to the PRO-I

good news, sony actively doesn’t care about normal users anymore, and has started marketing their phones specifically at “creatives,” or just domestically in japan where people are used to weird rear end nonsensical names anyway they’ve also started cutting back on the devices released in the US, and I think there’s a good chance they’ll leave this market entirely in another year or two

oh sure, to be honest i'm surprised they're still in the market now. they have enough cash to blow trying market things out though

Sony used to have a great small phone and now that they don’t they have no reason to continue making phones.

lineageos docs posted:TIP: Normally, adb will report Total xfer: 1.00x, but in some cases, even if the process succeeds the output will stop at 47% and report adb: failed to read command: Success now that's quality. Here's hoping it's not a corrupted/partial transfer I guess...

I think I'm on my 4th OnePlus phone and they do seem to have lost it a bit. my previous one was fine but the usb charge port would connect properly so I replaced the whole stupid phone and they did some ridiculous "replace battery capacity with charge speed" poo poo so now I genuinely get occasional battery anxiety otoh that might be because I now stream music on it 5 hours a day still, it works fine and was cheaper than others so all in all a solid B rating

also Google are to back spamming their pixel adverts on YouTube and the music is so aggressively bad that it will discourage me from ever buying a Google phone so I guess advertising does work?

lol that sounds awful. admittedly i'm not a fan of blackpink, but that song especially i don't like. also on the topic of pixel commercials, my mother didn't understand the pixel super bowl commercial until i explained it to her.
