I can now only laugh about their past statements of “uwu we are losing dominance as the market leader because we can’t compete with apple music on iOS, because they can offer the service for less money uwu”

All while no other service is able to compete with them on android because of their special deal lmao

There is. In the battery saver settings, while it’s off, uncheck chat animations > blur in dark theme

They forgot updating the name I guess but disables transparency in light and dark mode for me

They only comply when asked by google/apple because otherwise they risk getting banned on their stores.

That’s why they advice you to, on android, download the app via the web. Because there, these companies have no say and the content is unrestricted.

Not the one you replied to, but I installed lineageos on a old Samsung tab I had laying around and there’s the android native option to ‘pin apps’ which puts the app before the lockscreen basically until you exit the mode manually, meaning you only need to turn on the screen and it’s still protected by password so can’t be used for anything else.

For waking, it’s in the hallway where I have a hue motion sensor. Whenever the sensor notices movement, it’ll send a notification to the tablet with the command to wake the screen and the screen turns on. Pretty easy and straightforward

I’ve been doing mobile device management at my last company and we handed out whatever the latest a series was, to our coworkers, for especially the cost and security factor.

And with the A52 I think, they have become really really decent phones in my opinion, I really don’t know what the hell the writer is fumbling about.

I mean personally it’s not my favorite UI and I would take my pixel any day over it, but it worked so well and was so fluid, for a simple midrange phone. Again, not my cup of tea, but for someone like my mom or whoever just needs a phone for basic social media, calls, texts, decent camera and the web… This is perfectly fine. Now I’d still get her a pixel a series over it because the cam is just perfect imo, but if someone prefers Samsung UI, the a series is incredible.

Plus idk what their current state is but Dex might already be there? Or is coming soon? Judging by the latest Xcover that got it, which also just sports a midrange processor.

Yea but you see, you can easily have lots of games installed. And manually updating all of them just isn’t an option.

I’ve got like 15 psvr2 games in about 150gb storage already. And well, chances are quite high, as I’m playing lots of different games usually.

In total, I just checked, I have 44 games installed. Idk. Some games I just download as I might play them again with friends one day, like GTA online or rainbow 6. I play them like twice a year, but when I do want to play them, I have to download an update first, which is annoying af. Especially as I’m having my ps5 in rest mode anyways.

Question, how many games do you have? Because in the beginning, it was the same for me. But I’ve added an SSD and put an external for my PS4 games and as said, it’s only updating the last played what feels like 15 or so. Anything I have sitting downloaded, almost unused, is never getting updated.

It works just fine if you use the console like ‘vanilla’. Install like 6-10 AAA games that fit in the internal storage and all will be updated, but especially with a psvr2 now that has 20 smaller titles installed for itself, I might not come back to those games for a while and play other games in the meantime, means they won’t get updated. Then I’m playing VR for a week, several different games, take a break for a month and my regular games haven’t been updated.

The play and app store have figured this out by having a check for all updates and update all button, I really wish the ps5 could simply do the same. Or just actually keep all games updated in rest mode without doing anything, that would actually be the best. Because I’m also having my ps5 in rest mode 99% of the time I’m not using it

Also a phones screen is incredible small in comparison. The aspect ratio of nowadays phones is not 16/9 so even with an iPhone pro max you get like about 6" screen vs 8", which is a 30% increase diagonally and results in like 60% more screen area. It’s a very big difference and I really can’t bother playing a game on SUCH a small screen personally, which is why I don’t really use remote play as of now

Yea same. Also I’ve checked on my MacBook yesterday and the highest selectable quality is 720p. Having 1080p in a comfortable device I can easily lay on the couch with … why are people against it so much? It’s awesome, and cheap lol
