  • This definitely happens with ridesharing services. Whenever you look up a location it usually quotes you, but if you come back to the app like in 5 minutes, it raises the price in a funny way.

    Pixel 9 Pro condensation in camera lens
  • I owned 2 Pixel 8 devices and both had very different haptic motors, one of them would just make a plunk sound and the other one would give you an uncomfortable buzz. Google’s hardware design and consistency is lacking compared to other brand phones. Plus even though both were the same unlocked 128GB model, one of them was missing software features (3d wallpaper generation with AI for example), like what?

    Dear iPhone users:
  • I mean usage wise sure you still see the display either way. But high refresh rate is better for your eyes, especially when it’s a quality display with high PWM rate. There is a huge difference between an S24’s display and an iPhone 15’s. I can use the S24 without my eyes getting tired for hours, while my eyes get sore after viewing the iPhone for a while.

    Dear iPhone users:
  • Just stating we shouldn’t have to pay over $1000 usd to get a 120hz display. This doesn’t justify it when you can buy phones with high refresh rate for $300

  • Bro it’s a Pixel. Few hardware issues are just expected at this point and I’m not defending Google, they have a bad track record with shitty hardware.

    Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands With AI, Then Making $10 Million by Listening to Their Songs With Bots
  • Other media companies use bots to boost streams all the time. Hence the mostly shitty popular music of today. The kind of music you make does not matter today, how you market it or ‘boost’ it does.

    How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?
  • I would just go for a PS5 controller. You get type c charging, great haptics and good compatibility (either via Steam or ds4windows). Only issue is the stick drift

    YouTube Music can transfer playlists to Apple Music too
  • Don’t do it bro… YT has gotten increasingly shittier and although YTM stayed the same for a long time, you can now feel the enshittification coming to YTM too

  • If you go to websites like Swappa right now, you can find brand new Google Pixel 9 models for less than $600. Considering Google is trying to sell these phones above $800, I think the market already decided what this series of phones should cost really.

    Was recently browsing Reddit and noticed a new type of ad which pops up in between comments now. It used to be a few ads in between posts and you would get an ad as the top comment when you click on a post, but now they’re injecting ads in between comments when you are even scrolling comments lol. When do you think this will start having an effect on regular people? Do you think the enshittification will slow down or come to a halt if these companies start losing revenue due to lost customer base?

    Hey folks, there are a few apps in the Android world which I use to watch YouTube without ads. Some examples are ReVanced, NewPipe etc. I was wondering if there is a similar app that I can use to fulfill the same needs such as ad blocking, downloading and viewing on iOS. Figured if anyone knew it'd be on Lemmy. Thanks in advance!

    Hey everyone,

    Been using Boost for a long while now and I'm wondering if the filters/blocks I've made over the past few months persist when I install the app on a new device. I really don't want to see some communities/instances on my feed and does anyone know if this syncs with my user account? Is there a way to backup these filters I've enabled? Appreciate any response.
