Looks like everything is essentially in the same spot UI wise, but with a native application that hopefully gets moving a lot faster.

I've noticed that currently on Bitwarden, for auto fill it takes 6-7 seconds just to get authenticated with fingerprint and fill in the username and password field. That should hopefully be down to like 2 or 3 seconds.

That's a lot of CO2 not going into the atmosphere anymore from burning hundreds of thousands of liters of jet fuel, nice!

It's not "irregular", and it's been done before as protest. A Buddhist monk did it in the past to protest the slaughter of cattle.

They do like money, but Valve also loves providing a service to people.

Nobody uses Epic Games, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or Battle.net because they want to, they use it because they have to.

Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.

It would be better spent in our hands. I for one would like to keep the money I work for.

B-but that's communism! /s

Does anyone know yet if long COVID is an auto-immune disease? I only assume it is but otherwise don't know.

That's what the 'Lockdown' feature on Pixel phones does.

https://9to5google.com/2022/03/08/how-to-enable-lockdown-mode-on-pixel/

Impossible to force a fingerprint or face scan because it asks the phone to only accept passcodes.

I do see it as a potential problem with moderation on Lemmy's end. You have all of the users from Threads interacting with Lemmy and Kbin users. It's possible there's an influx of accounts on here that are trolling, and it becomes unmanageable to moderate everything on Lemmy's side.

But Threads will have no problems with content moderation.

I travelled recently, and was filled with disgust when I was told to scan my boarding pass and look into the camera to get in line. I would have asked to go through an alternative line but didn't want to miss my flight.

What the fuck is wrong with people

The Samsung SCH-U740

It was a good one! It literally flipped 2 ways.

It's possible competition will just recognize their advantage and pay workers more to get that step ahead.

I read somewhere that they will still be green. It's confirmed by Apple as well.

Hey guys!

It's almost time again for the latest and greatest iterations of Pixel devices, where Google will show off their newest hardware and software upgrades to the masses.

The event will debut on October 4th at 10 AM EST (https://dateful.com/convert/est-edt-eastern-time?t=10am&d=2023-10-04), showcasing what's to be the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and likely the Pixel Watch 2.

Rumors indicate signs pointing to a new Tensor chip in the Pixel devices, temperature sensors, Magic Audio removal features for video clips, and even a Qualcomm-based chip in the Pixel Watch 2.

Feel free to watch the event and sign up to be notified when it's live, at the following YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxlaUCJZ27E

See you all soon!

 

I've been searching all over for a computer or tablet with long battery life, and a tablet mode or detachable keyboard. I've been wanting to take notes and watch videos in portrait mode split screen while I'm out and about.

Firstly, not even the $800 iPad Pro can do split screen in portrait mode. I don't know why, but I'm not surprised it's something that Apple has overlooked.

So that leaves you with the option to either get a Surface Pro computer with an i5 or i7 processor with a maximum of 4 hours of battery with these Surface computers, OR you get something like a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 which has an ARM processor and 11 hours of battery, but the problem is that these Galaxy Tab devices are wildly overpriced and OneUI isn't exactly my cup of tea.

Only Surface Pro 9 laptops with SQ3 exist, and these are also (shocking!) wildly overpriced. Of course, the 2023 Microsoft Surface Go 4 ARM model was scrapped in favor of an Intel processor, meaning battery life is out the door once again. Until battery life on these Surface computer is at minimum 6-7 hours I won't even look in their direction.

What gives? Is there any other computer or tablet I'm missing that exists? I don't want to spend much more than $800 or so on a device that I'd only use for specialized purposes; I'd buy refurbished but it's still completely insane to spend any more than that.

Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.::With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.

 

Looks like we also won't see the Surface Pro 10 until October.

 

Looks like Google falls further behind as they fail to properly design and update newer iterations of Pixel phones. Rather than have a superior TSMC chip within the next 13 months, which would have a higher quality manufacturing process and significantly reduce power consumption, it looks like it'll be closer to 25 months if we're lucky.

 

Samsung phones have DeX widely available across their flagship devices, allowing users to plug their phones into a screen, connect a mouse and keyboard, and work as if it was a laptop or desktop PC.

Do you find features like this fitting into your workflow? How would you feel about a Google equivalent?
