Google picks a MediaTek modem for the Pixel 10 series
  • Mediatek has been making phone SoCs since forever now, they have two lines - Helios and Dimensity. They're used in many phones, usually on the lower end. Even Samsung uses them. Both lines have abysmal custom rom support compared to Snapdragon phones, so I don't think you can hope for much there.

  • The best phones with a headphone jack - December 2024
  • The redmi note (pro) series also still has the jack, though the newer models are a bit lackluster. Was considering upgrading from my redmi note 10 pro to 13, but after comparing the specs felt like it wasn't worth it at all.

  • NCD is actually a successor department to Allied Intelligence in WW2
  • and were to be distributed near German boiler rooms where it was expected they would be disposed of by burning, with the subsequent explosion having a chance of causing a boiler explosion

    Wouldn't it have been easier and more effective to just make them coal shaped?

  • How much of a game changer was USB-C for you, compared to other cables?
  • The receptacle is the issue - it can have up to 24 pins (though usually it's 12ish), all bunched up in just a slightly larger space than on a micro usb receptacle which has 4 pins. So it takes some good skill to replace.

  • How much of a game changer was USB-C for you, compared to other cables?
  • Just recently I had a tech store guy gently but repeatedly insist to me that a certain USB cable was a USB 3 cable because it was type C on both ends. I didn't wanna argue with him, but the box clearly said "480 Mbit", so it was just a type C charging cable.

    Of course the box designers were hoping you'd make that mistake so they didn't write USB 2 on there, just the speed. And most boxes won't even have that, you'll just have to buy it and see.

    But I mean if someone who spent their whole life fixing computers can get something that basic wrong, then it's really a hopeless situation for anyone who isn't techy.

    And of course once it's out of the box it's anyone's guess what it is. It's a real mess for sure.

  • A Google breakup is on the table, say DOJ lawyers
  • Hate to say it, but if they do chop off Android, it can only become worse as it would now need to make loads of money or go under. Both of which would be terrible for any end user.

    And if they bunch up google play together with Android, it would result in even tighter integration of the two, which is how Android got bad in the first place.

  • Super weird
  • The earlier parts of this lecture by Irving Finkel talk about what happened when they first translated the more original flood story from stone tablets in 1872. And the rest of the lecture is a nice story about an adventure, so I can only recommend watching the whole thing.

    The entire Western media and political class when Iran launches its strike against Israel:
  • Have you heard about them bombing Lebanon yesterday though, or even for the last few months? It got a passing mention and only in the context of "this might cause Iran to respond". And there's a few more flags on that picture.

  • Yes, Actually, Individual Responsibility Is Essential to Solving the Climate Crisis
  • smallest part of the problem

    This is what I'm trying to get across to you here. You've posted the same notion multiple times in this thread. The consumer share isn't the smallest part, it's most of it. All the oil we extract serves to make products, transport products, sell products to the consumer - you. It's not being being burnt for fun.

    When you engage in consumption, any amount of it, you're pulling a string connected to a million other strings that mostly end up in an oil well one way or another. The luxury you speak of is in that consumption, not the lack of it.

    And if you think otherwise, compare your lifestyle, your lifelong level of comfort to that of someone who spent their whole life living in a hut in Mali, whose lifelong emissions equal a few months worth of yours. Now try to tell that person that you're not responsible for the gas you burn, it's the fault of those that provided you with the option to do it. It's insulting.
