I bought and own Civ 6 for Android. I tried to play it on a flight and was pissed because it requires an active internet connection.

So I own a pirated version of it now.

I know this dude is a total dickhead. Yes yes yes I know. But he made some entertaining videos back on the late 90s with those cannonball runs.

Usually 4k.

I’m def not defending the big phone companies. There could be creative ways to mitigate pure storage vs fast storage, similarly to computer DRAM vs NVME 4.0.

I think another point I want to add is that you’re an outlier. Out of all my friends with iPhones and Android phones, they are not ripping roms and downloading their music from CDs.

Normies are kinda dumb and don’t fully utilize their phones.

These phones are geared towards those normies. Modern phone makers don’t consider you as part of their demographic.

Honestly, you can’t really compare the modern phone memory vs sd card memory anymore.

For pure storage ya, it doesn’t really matter. For using it for anything more than that, it’s honestly too slow.

UFS 4.0 Sequential Read Speed: Up to 4,200 MB/s Sequential Write Speed: Up to 2,800 MB/s Latency: Very low, making it ideal for high-speed data transfer and multitasking in mobile devices. Usage: Commonly used in high-end smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices where speed and efficiency are critical.

SDUC UHS-I Sequential Read Speed: Up to 104 MB/s Sequential Write Speed: Typically around 70-90 MB/s, though the maximum theoretical speed can go up to 104 MB/s. Latency: Higher compared to UFS 4.0, which can impact performance in tasks requiring quick access to data. Usage: Used primarily in SD cards, which are common in cameras, drones, and other devices requiring expandable storage.

All rise mother fucker.

What? That’s the dumbest thing. Of course it’s going to be twice as thick if you fold it. Everything is. Water is wet and the sky is blue. No shit.

If they made a 6mm folded iPhone and the current iPhone is 8.5mm. that’s actually an improvement over a previous gen iPhone and that is actually useful information.

Been using the fold from 2-6. While this statement is true from 2-4, def untrue for 5 and 6.

iPhone pro max weight 7.81oz. Fold 6: 8.43 oz

7% more weight

iPhone pro max: 8.25mm Fold 6: 12.1mm folded

So about 30% thicker and 7% more weight for essentials double the real estate. Seems like a no brainer for me.

TIL. Thanks man.

So when I see those baby on board signs, I give them a pass when they are driving slow or doing silly things at the red light(like pumping their brakes so the car is moving so the baby doesn’t wake up).

I’ll def give it a try again. I manage website performance and run AB tests and have to chop my own images. So it’s not terribly demanding. So maybe it can help me transition

I actually haven’t used Gimp for at least 2 years so I might try it again. My work gives me adobe CC so I use it there. I wouldn’t mind trying it again for personal.

I know adobe is the devil, but you simply can’t beat PS for UX and UI. Even their hot keying is far better than GIMP(back in the day, maybe).

Gimp is terrible. The UX is bad, the whole project just seems like an afterthought

Mer-man!

Samsung fridge had the ice maker stop working 5 times in a span of 2 years. The tray mechanism inside would break so often. I actually started buying replacements from AliExpress and treated it as a consumable product.

Ya, I tried it. Not great. I also tried the Synology Chat which is basically slack.

Unfortunately it lacks things like video chat. :(

Normies will use Apple because they claim to have privacy in their forefront. Nerds like me degoogle and don’t use social media(unless you count this… What is Lemmy?).

It’s easier to go Apple. Difficult to use Android and own your privacy.

I think they sell the perception of privacy. They might not sell your data, but they certainly use that data to sell to you. They only care about profits and any privacy that you think you might have is just a byproduct of that greed.

Apple is an optics company and damn good at it too.
