Is there a launcher for me?

I've tried a lot of the launchers I see talked about frequently- Nova, Niagra, Smart Launcher, Action Launcher, etc. but they all seem to not be worth the hassle of switching away from pixel launcher. Also none of them have the Google News feed that the pixel launcher has. I feel like I'm losing features when I switch. Perhaps I'm just stupid and am not utilizing the features these launchers actually bring to the table.

Can you tell me about your favorite launcher and it's features that keep you hooked to it? Thanks.

Where did that lead you?
  • I've tried the majority of the weather apps on the android app store, and they're all just mediocre compared to MyRadar.

    Then again, MyRadar is mediocre compared to what Dark Sky was. What an unfortunate situation with that app being bought by Apple and turned into WeatherKit or whatever. That was the best weather app, hands down.

  • What is the deal with mobile GPUs vs PC GPUs?

    For anyone who knows.

    Basically, it seems to me like the technology in mobile GPUs is crazier than desktop/laptop GPUs. Desktop GPUs obviously can do things better graphically, but not by enough that it seems to need to be 100x bigger than a mobile GPU. And top end mobile GPUs actually perform quite admirably when it comes to graphics and power.

    So, considering that, why are desktop GPUs so huge and power hungry in comparison to mobile GPUs?

    I'm tired
  • Jesse hosted a show called Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. He did question 9/11, but I felt that was somewhat understandable at the time. It's still weird when you think about certain things related to that day, but at this point if it was some sort of inside job we will never know. Most engineers and architects have explained away most of the things the "truthers" have said.

  • Switched from uTorrent to QBitTorrent

    So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.

    I didn't think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They're both just torrent downloaders.

    Holy shit was I wrong. I don't even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don't even understand how.

    A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.

    Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

    Notification checking time.

    The fastest option is 30 minutes intervals. Can you please add 5 minute intervals? 30 minutes is a long time.

    I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.

    A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they're all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me...
