Personally waiting for the JC Penney hard seltzer.
11·27 days agoI’ve been remote for the 3 years of work experience that I’ve had. I live in a city with piss poor public transportation and detest traffic, plus I enjoy waking up 10 minutes before having to clock in.
The pay and perks would have to be substantial for me to consider working on-site.
Lemmy’s far smaller than Reddit was 10 or even 15 years ago.
There are some good foundations in place, but there’s a loonnnggg way to go before we’re seeing platform maturity.
9·2 months agoIt is still just Beta 2, but it is disappointing to see Android 15 not get any acknowledgement at all on stage at I/O.

I run into this bug every other day on my Pixel 6a. Also causes “swipe down on pill to use one-handed mode” to break. Have to reboot every time to fix it.
Ok I’m done watching the stream. Boring as hell.
Thank you for all the updates! Looking forward to tomorrow’s Android announcements.
Did they demo new Google Glasses :O
Audio has been pre-generated.
Not a great example after yesterday’s GPT-4o announcement which appeared to be live.
It can and most likely will. Why MKBHD did not consider that puzzles me.
Interesting. Did a reviewer mention this or were you able to try the device yourself?
I’m one of the few who has had zero issues with the 6a fingerprint sensor. Sure it’s a little slower but it works accurately for me.
MKBHD says to get the 8 over the 8a but I disagree. The improvements are marginal. Unless you really need wireless power sharing, the 8a offers pretty much everything the 8 does if slightly slower.
Best Buy gift card + trade-in or waiting till a price drop make it more enticing than paying $500 for the Pixel 8.
I’m plenty happy with my 6a so I’m going to hold onto it.
Things I like:
- Brighter screen and now upto 120 Hz
- 256 GB option, weirdly for the obsidian color only. Aloe and bay are nicer! (Also annoying how Google phones don’t have microSD card slots because they offer Google Drive. smh this company)
- Will get Gemini Nano for on-device AI
- 7 years of OS updates
Rest is pretty much the same.
Google Store, Amazon and Best Buy are offering a $100 gift card for pre-ordering. Best Buy and Google Store are accepting trade-ins - you’ll have to compare to see which one is offering the most value for your phone. Best Buy gift card will be more useful than a Google Store gift card though.
If you can wait half a year or so, it should drop to about $375 like the previous A phones have, making it a solid bang for your buck.
Was not expecting personal attacks like this :'(
Glad to see more people do the spelling bee. Be sure to check out !nytspellingbee@lemmy.ca! Tagging @StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world too.
The easiest way I’ve found without root or ADB is to use Solid Explorer. Well worth the cost.
I select the APK I want and copy it to a different directory. Extremely painless.
5·4 months agoIs it on the Play Store? Would you happen to have a link for it?
If you’re into daily word/puzzle games that tickle your brain, I have a few communities to suggest!
