faint dragon
#

Killshot

#

Loved when MGK thought he could beat him

teal frost
#

What’s the problem between MGK and Em?

faint dragon
#

It was over a tweet back in 2012 where Mgk made a questionable reference to his daughter and then em mentioned MGK on kamakazi which kind made the beef take off

I haven’t heard this song in years

#

I didn’t even know I knew it

faint dragon
#

Yes my phone is fine

serene galleon
#

What happened

faint dragon
serene galleon
#

iPhone 6 right?

faint dragon
#

iPhone 5

serene galleon
#

Close

faint dragon
#

It’s can’t run iOS 13 , 12 or 11

serene galleon
raw sleet
faint dragon
#

Is that the new se @serene galleon

serene galleon
#

It’s an iPhone 7 Plus

raw sleet
#

no more glitching on my end

faint dragon
#

Oh

raw sleet
#

akotski can you confirm

serene galleon
#

It’s probably the biggest iPhone ever made

#

@raw sleet it’s not glitching

raw sleet
#

good

faint dragon
#

No the biggest iPhone ever made is the iPhone XS/11 pro max @serene galleon

frozen iris
#

Whoever can do me a favour DM me

serene galleon
#

@faint dragon yeah I guess

#

I’ve never held a iPhone X or 11

faint dragon
#

But raw size and density goes to the iPhone 6/6S/7 plus

serene galleon
#

I think smaller phones are better because they are more durable

faint dragon
#

Yeah I plan to get the regular iPhone 11 Pro or X/XS

serene galleon
#

I think iPhone 8 is the best iPhone ever made

faint dragon
#

In my opinion the best iPhone ever goes to the iPhone 5S due to how much it Inovated

serene galleon
#

I’d rather buy an SE

faint dragon
#

The worst aged iPhone is the iPhone 4S

serene galleon
faint dragon
#

Cool is it matte black or jet black

serene galleon
#

It’s jet black

faint dragon
#

That’s rare if it’s not all scratched to hell

serene galleon
#

It’s not scratched

faint dragon
#

That’s is worth $400USD just sitting there

serene galleon
#

I got it for free

#

From AT&T

faint dragon
#

Why free

serene galleon
#

Because it’s a plan

faint dragon
#

Ok

serene galleon
#

It’s free if I use it for like a year without changing my phone

#

If you change your phone, you pay for it

faint dragon
#

Does the 7 plus has service too

serene galleon
#

No that’s why I want to switch the SIM cards but I don’t know if they will complain

faint dragon
#

Do it when the year deal is over

serene galleon
#

I’m pretty sure it is but I have to check for sure

#

The screen was replaced for like the 3rd time I think

#

That’s how fragile this phone is

faint dragon
#

My camera on my phone just sunk in lol

serene galleon
#

You should probably fix that

faint dragon
#

That’s what I’m doing

serene galleon
#

Oh

faint dragon

Can’t find the right screwdriver LOL

#

Why are a9 cops driving security cars

serene galleon
#

@stray plinth do you get paid to be a discord mod

rare ferry
#

because they securely go past you regardless what car you drive

#

discord mods are not being paid

serene galleon
#

That’s sad

stray plinth
#

@stray plinth do you get paid to be a discord mod
@serene galleon our pay is being able to interact with y'all on a daily basis.........

serene galleon
#

Probably because even minimum wage is too much

#

Unless you get paid under the table

craggy meadow
#

Hmmm

rare ferry
#

@serene galleon I don't think @hallow pumice is on top of anyone though

Just think-- if we were paid $1 for every warning, mute or ban we did-- I'd have a nice little retirement nest egg put away right now...

serene galleon
#

I hope not

rare ferry

Just think-- if we were paid $1 for every warning, mute or ban we did-- I'd have a nice little retirement nest egg put away right now...
@stray plinth even 20c per warning would make u millionaire

😁

faint dragon
#

Hey is the Elise a good car

craggy meadow
#

Seriously though do y'all get paid tho @rare ferry

hollow gull
#

yes.

serene galleon
#

No

minor turret
#

Man , 1$ for 1 warn , if this would be real then you would be a millionaire @stray plinth

stray plinth
#

Especially once it's maxed out.

serene galleon
#

Lol

rare ferry
#

Seriously though do y'all get paid tho @rare ferry
@craggy meadow nope, voluntary free "job"

lament lodge
#

@rare ferry how many days does it take to be a mod after answering questions

craggy meadow
#

Lmao

#

How do u become a mod

stray plinth
#

That all depends on Gameloft & how soon they want to add new Mods.

rare ferry
#

@lament lodge depends on GL's decision if they want you as mod to begin with to be fair

serene galleon
#

Just knowing you have the power to do anything on this server is satisfactory enough

minor turret
#

@craggy meadow I guess you should ask Claudia or Mina for this

craggy meadow
#

Lmao @serene galleon

lament lodge
#

I saw your post to be mod

craggy meadow
#

Me @lament lodge

lament lodge
#

No

craggy meadow
#

Who @lament lodge

lament lodge
#

Woo

craggy meadow
#

Oh

serene galleon
#

Do admins have direct contact to ceo of gameloft?

stray plinth
minor turret
#

@serene galleon I don't think so

serene galleon
#

Or director of asphalt 9

craggy meadow
#

No

lament lodge
#

You need to answer questions on the forum

rare ferry
#

there's like 4 Asphalt Team members who talk to mods - Claudia, Mina, Deniss and ocasionally Arritmia

serene galleon
#

There’s no point doing the application. They barely have any mods anyway I don’t think they need more

minor turret
#

Some mods may leave for some reason and then there will be needed a new mod , so maybe there's some point in application

serene galleon
#

Are Mina and Claudia etc developers?

hollow gull
#

Motaz for Hall of Fame

rare ferry
#

Community Managers

minor turret
#

@hollow gull Who's Motaz?

hollow gull
#

a former mod

#

he was a really cool one

serene galleon
#

So all they do is just tell the developers what the people want

hollow gull
#

and actually did his job well

#

but eh

#

people made him leave

minor turret
#

That's sad

serene galleon
#

Why

hollow gull
#

He's a fun one

#

bullying

serene galleon
#

He bullied someone?

#

That’s all?

hollow gull
#

people in the switch community started accusing him of something

#

no

rare ferry
#

same reason Zenky left and he was recruited same time as me

minor turret
#

@serene galleon He was bullied , i guess

hollow gull
#

he got bullied

#

people call him this, that

serene galleon
#

Why would he loose his privilege for that?

hollow gull
#

through text and voice chat

#

at least he didn't have to worry about this server anymore

serene galleon
#

Did he start being mean to them back or something?

hollow gull
#

he left when the server fall to it's lowest ground

rare ferry
#

he left the server I believe

hollow gull
#

He's never mean

serene galleon
#

Well he’s probably happier now anyway

hollow gull
#

pretty chill guy

serene galleon
#

I would never let myself get bullied

#

I would be mean back to them

faint dragon
#

Who here plays CSR2

hollow gull
#

eh

minor turret
#

@rare ferry How long have you been here as a mod , just curious

hollow gull
#

Motaz still made the best decision

#

For him

#

At least PsyNata is back

serene galleon
#

When did he leave?

hollow gull
#

Around May

#

Or April

#

I forgot

serene galleon
#

I think I remember him

#

Of last year?

hollow gull
#

He's a switch mod

#

and no

#

this year

minor turret
#

@faint dragon I played it for a while and i don't wanna play it anymore

serene galleon
#

That name is familiar

rare ferry
serene galleon
#

Not that long

minor turret
#

@rare ferry Ok

rare ferry
#

that's how long I've been in this server

serene galleon
#

Can you give me access to the mod talks channel

minor turret
#

@serene galleon No

rare ferry
serene galleon
#

What could possibly be so secretive

hollow gull
rare ferry
#

mod-talks channel is for mods and GL only and to be honest it's much better channel than half of the channels combined

faint dragon
hollow gull
#

doubt

serene galleon
#

I could be a mod

hollow gull
#

doubt v3

rare ferry
#

even Arritmia said so

hollow gull
#

v2 already doubt itself

serene galleon
#

I’ve been a mod on a lot of different servers

#

Tbh, it’s not that fun

minor turret
#

Huh , I was here for 3 months

faint dragon
#

Had to warn somone today @serene galleon feeling cute

serene galleon
#

What

#

You warned someone?

#

Do boosters have the ability to warn people

minor turret
#

No

#

It's probably on different server

rare ferry
#

hmm no

serene galleon
#

Send the image

minor turret
#

I saw it

serene galleon
#

I didn’t get to click on It

rare ferry
#

for some reason discord doesn't allow

serene galleon
#

Probably because it’s bigger than 50 mb

rare ferry
minor turret
#

Basically it's like difference between General and Mods Talk

#

Here it is

rare ferry
#

that was posted by Arritmia

hollow gull
#

arritmia makes boomer memes

serene galleon
#

Damn I feel left out

rare ferry
#

also I can upload 100mb files

#

regardless of boost level for discord

serene galleon
#

You used to be able to post a link of a picture that was originally sent on a boosted server, to a server that’s not. They fixed that recently though

#

I used to do that all the time

rare ferry
#

I mean I'm nitro user

minor turret
#

Yep

serene galleon
#

Yeah that kind of replaces a feature of nitro so they fixed it

rare ferry
#

well I got it mostly coz of global emotes any other than that it's just a bonus features I ocasionally use

faint dragon
serene galleon
#

Ugly

faint dragon

The Elise is ugly

At least it’s ugly in this game

It's 40kbs

faint dragon
serene galleon
#

That looks way better

minor turret
#

@serene galleon Nope , it's not a gif

serene galleon
#

That’s weird because the Elise picture loaded instantly

minor turret
#

@serene galleon It's the same pic that i send but in lower quality

faint dragon
#

The wheels are accurate It’s just the roof is not carbon

minor turret
#

Most of the cars are not accurate

#

In A9

faint dragon
#

Same with A8

hollow gull
#

srt8 in this game is a total joke

#

and it has a v10.

faint dragon
#

Yeah the SRT8 is trash

minor turret
serene galleon

The acceleration should be really high

Original Kuruma FTW

it's a sleeper

fast AND good handling while looking like a sad Dodge Intrepid

@hollow reef Armored One is better in all ways

faint dragon

I hate Mr Boss FTW

hollow reef

probably has no resale value

hollow gull

@minor turret color it black and yellow

hollow reef

Not talking the GTA V one

@hollow reef Yep

faint dragon

I’m joking you can’t take a joke

hollow reef
#

also not much fun anymore since everything new is online only

#

Not without mods

hollow gull

i only get good jokes

#

sorry if it was lame

#

😃

serene galleon

Is gta 5 free?

hollow reef
#

lol no

minor turret

@serene galleon It was

My newer PCs can run it easily

ā€œVANOS is a variable valve timing system used by BMW on various automotive petrol engines since 1992. ... The initial version (retrospectively renamed "single VANOS") was solely used on the intake camshaft, while the later "double VANOS" systems are used on intake and exhaust camshafts.ā€ - Wikipedia

tawdry creek
#

it was for short time

minor turret
#

I got ads in A9 with GTA 5 being free in Epic Store

hollow reef
#

The VANOS system is the inspiration behind the YTer's name

serene galleon
#

My old pc can run gta 5 easily

hollow reef
#

Though it's not a very interesting system

faint dragon
#

Who has heard of Swegta

hollow reef
#

My desktop is old

minor turret
#

Yep , originally it was a "Vanoss62"

hollow reef

I'd rather deal with the BMW VANOS system tbh

hollow reef
#

ye

faint dragon
#

How do you know @hollow reef @serene galleon

hollow reef
#

Interface design

#

Resolution

tawdry creek
#

pretty obvious

hollow reef
#

Apple always used these absolutely dumb non-standard resolutions

serene galleon
#

Because I know what an iPad multi task looks like

hollow reef
#

also the UI

serene galleon
#

Also the resolution

hollow reef
#

I've owned a wide variety of systems

faint dragon
#

You mean aspect ratio

hollow reef
#

No

#

I mean the actual resolution

serene galleon
#

It’s a square that’s how you can tell

tawdry creek
#

windows xp resolution

hollow reef
#

who the HELL uses 1465x1259 resolution

Biggest problem with iPad

only iPads

VTEC is a system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine, resulting in higher performance at high RPM, and lower fuel consumption at low RPM. The VTEC system uses two camshaft profiles and hydraulically selects between profiles. -Wikipedia

hollow reef
#

same with their phones

#

they also use weird resolutions

tawdry creek
#

true

serene galleon
#

iPhones use normal resolutions

hollow reef
#

It's SUPER easy to tell iOS/iPad OS devices

#

Not most of them

#

for example, the iPhone SE

serene galleon
#

My phone is 1920x1080

hollow reef
#

both SEs

#

the new SE uses 1334 x 750

faint dragon
#

Yeah the iPhone 7 was the last flagship iPhone to use a weird resolution

hollow reef
#

it's only the AMOLED ones that don't use some messed up resolution

#

wrong

#

iPhone 11 Pro is 2436 x 1125

#

Pro Max as well

#

as said, UI design and the wacky resolution they use makes iPhones, iPads and Macs easy to spot

faint dragon
#

I don’t consider the iPhone 11 (non pro) a flagship phone

hollow reef
#

I don't understand why they can't just use normal resolutions outside the X, XS and iirc XR

#

very annoying

#

and it's not just because of the notches, the iPhone 6 and newer all have this issue

faint dragon
#

What is the resolution of my iPad 7th generation then @hollow reef

hollow reef
#

1080p apparently

#

Most are not standard resolutions however

faint dragon
#

My brother says it 2K

hollow reef
#

for example

#

The 11-inch iPad Pro features a resolution ofĀ 2388 x 1668, while the 12.9-inch model has a resolution ofĀ 2732 x 2048

#

is just weird

#

I don't get why Apple chooses to do this

faint dragon
#

2048 x 1536 is the resolution of the iPad 7th generation

hollow reef
#

Guess I was wrong then

faint dragon
#

Is that 2K

hollow reef
#

2k is 2048Ɨ1080 however

faint dragon
#

Oh so it a little more than 2K

hollow reef
#

Apple is just weird and likes to use odd resolutions

#

Yes

velvet hollow
#

What's the screen ratio on the iPad? Microsoft's Surfaces use 3:2 iirc

faint dragon
#

4:3

velvet hollow
#

Okay

hollow reef
#

1.33:1

#

not 4:3

#

1.43:1 on 11 inch Pro

#

Some are 4:3 however

#

but not all

faint dragon
#

I’m talking the ones with home buttons

untold nacelle
#

im on ipad air 2013

#

ha

hollow reef
#

In that case, yes

#

I've got a iPad 1 and it is 4:3

#

also uses a standard resolution, 1024x768

#

The phones are a much bigger mess though

faint dragon
untold nacelle
#

oh really

#

is that ipad

faint dragon
#

iPad 7th generation

hollow reef
#

Pretty new

#

mine is a 1st lol

#

I only use it for really old apps

serene galleon
faint dragon
#

I use a iPhone 4s for old apps

hollow reef
#

and also because I can't sell it and since it's functional and a pain to open, have no intentions to destroy or disassemble

#

I used to own a 4, was a good phone at the time

#

moved to a 5 and later Windows Phone

#

the hardware on the 5 was just too far behind

#

It had advantages with CPU and GPU

faint dragon
#

Windows phone!

hollow reef
#

but nowhere else

faint dragon
hollow reef
#

my 920 had OIS (first phone to!), twice the battery capacity, NFC, and wireless charging in a 2012 phone...

#

I was glad to trade the 5 in

serene galleon
#

Wrong form of to

hollow reef
#

yes

#

Mo

#

No

#

to as in to have

faint dragon
#

I hate the windows phone

hollow reef
#

was the first phone to have image stabilization and integrated wireless charging

#

Why?

serene galleon
#

You can’t end a sentence in to

hollow reef
#

Most people I've seen have never used one

serene galleon
#

You can end a sentence with too though

hollow reef
#

I'm curious to hear why, and if you've ever actually used one

faint dragon
#

I’ve used a windows phone before and they suck

hollow reef
#

Was it a budget model?

#

Most were

faint dragon
#

No a 1020 XL i think

hollow reef
#

As for the software, it was very hit or miss but some things were incredibly ahead of the time

#

1020 is the phone with the 41mp camera from 2012

#

has no XL version

#

I use it as a camera for detailed shots, slow as dirt but unbreakable

faint dragon
#

Yeah it was orange

hollow reef
#

You are probably thinking of the massive 1520 then

#

1020 only came in yellow, gray, black

#

or the 640 XL

#

which is a large budget phone

#

and came in orange

#

I owned a standard 640 and it was garbage

#

no more powerful than my 2-year older 920

#

these were sub-$200 new

#

so of course it sucked

#

of note

#

widgets and dark mode in 2012

faint dragon
hollow reef
#

iris scanners instead of fingerprint readers, at least for 2015 flagship 950 XL

#

ah, the 930

#

They were weird

#

Mainly focused on the camera

#

as most Lumia flagships were

#

It used a 20mp Pureview camera but internally relatively mediocre specs

#

the preceding 920 and succeeding 950 were much better overall performers

faint dragon
#

I remember playing Gameloft’s ā€œthe amazing spider-manā€ on it

hollow reef
#

they were balanced flagships, good at everything hardware wise

#

but the 930

#

the 930 was pretty much just a midrange with a good camera slapped on

#

my 950 is a god tier phone though

faint dragon
#

I kinda want the 930 again

hollow reef
#

My 950 takes excellent photos

#

4k video with real stereo audio, as it has 4 microphones

#

has a 1440p AMOLED screen, replaceable battery, SD card slot, FM radio, USB-C full support (keyboard, drives, mouse, video out)

#

ability to connect to a screen and perform as a desktop like Samsung Dex, only 3 years earlier

#

able to be fully disassembled with 1 screwdriver in 5 minutes

#

all with 32GB space for $50 less new than the competiting 16GB iPhone 6S

#

absolutely fantastic phone

#

Also had a iris scanner, dark mode, one handed keyboard, swipe to type, 8 word predictive type, trackpoint to move text cursor, widgets and all that stuff in 2015

#

I wish I could have had it new, but I use it as a video camera and my primary photo shooter today and it outperforms even Google Pixels and new iPhones for these tasks

#

plus has the party trick of being modified to run Windows 10 ARM as a second OS

tawdry creek
#

jesus

#

that's a lot of words

hollow reef
#

Windows Phones were never as bad as people assume

serene galleon
#

You’d be a great salesperson

hollow reef
#

I am

#

besides, electronics and cars are my hobbies

#

I've repaired several phones before and do most of my work on my car

serene galleon
#

Heck, I want to get one of these now

hollow reef
#

Windows Phones are EXTREMELY easy to maintain

#

Not a single one uses adhesive to hold itself together

tawdry creek
#

what car do you own

hollow reef
#

my current car's a Mitsubishi Outlander

#

my first was a Focus wagon w/ 2.3 Duratec

tawdry creek
#

oohh

hollow reef
#

@serene galleon a Lumia 950 standard is around $60 used

#

A XL comes with a better CPU + heat pipe with vapor chamber

#

those are really expensive used though

#

and primarily are useful if you want a Windows 10 ARM machine, otherwise it's just better to get a standard

#

my Lumia 1020 cost me also $50, and takes 8k photos

#

is very slow though as it's a 7 year old phone using a Snapdragon S4...

#

These phones are probably the most useful phones of their age

#

As very few 2015 or 2013 phones will have a practical purpose today, but these can be used as cameras

#

They are much more fun to mess around with than old Android or iOS phones too imo: easier to fix and modify

#

took me half the time to do a screen replacement on my Lumia 1020 as a iPhone 6

#

and neither has a glued-in screen

faint dragon
#

The iPhone 5S still has a purpose

hollow reef
#

not really

Nothing a budget phone can't do better

faint dragon
#

It runs iOS 12 and can run most apps

hollow reef
#

meanwhile, try finding a budget phone with a 41mp or higher camera

#

I mean, you could do that

faint dragon
#

The galaxy a20

hollow reef
#

Or for barely more buy a used 6 or 6S

#

A20 is a 12mp camera

faint dragon
#

Well the A50

hollow reef
#

fairly obviously it also won't have a physical shutter, anti-glare optics or xenon flash

#

ah, but then you run into price

#

a used Lumia 1020 is only around $50

#

You may be carrying a second phone around as a camera

faint dragon
#

The A50 is 350USD the new se is 400USD

hollow reef
#

But that's cheaper than a good DSLR or good camera phone

#

and then you have $300 for a real phone

#

alternatively

#

A Lumia 950 costs around $60 used

#

if you want a usable phone

faint dragon
#

I like the iPhone but I aslo want something unique

hollow reef
#

It's amazing how close a 5 year old flagship really is

#

to the A50

#

The main issue here is software

#

However, the Lumia 950 is still $60 used

#

a killer deal for the hardware

#

CPU is obviously garbage in comparison to the A50

#

this is why I have a Lumia 950 as not just my camera, but it's also my backup phone

#

No one would steal it because it's a Windows Phone

#

but it is near identical to my Razer Phone 2 in most capabilities outside software support and CPU

faint dragon
hollow reef
#

Ah, the budget phones

#

Yes, the 520 used a similar appearance to the 920 and 1020

#

The 530 opted for a rounded look

#

Also, both can have the wallpaper in the tiles

#

that is part of why the 530 looks more dated is that it is only using the solid bg color

faint dragon
hollow reef
#

good for him

#

I only have a interest in obtaining the flagships and prototypes

#

the budgets and midrange Lumias were identical to Android phones in those segments in terms of hardware

faint dragon
#

Have you heard of plainrock 124

hollow reef
#

Nope

faint dragon
hollow reef
#

so a memer

#

not exactly the best source of information

faint dragon
#

He breaks stuff

hollow reef
#

Another thing

#

The Lumias aren't the only Windows Phones

#

HP, Alcatel, HTC, Huawei, Samsung, Zebra, Dell, Acer and others also made models on the OS

#

though, the Lumias account for 90% of all sales

faint dragon
hollow reef
#

Sounds boring, would rather see more scientific durability testing or more exciting and outrageous "testing"

#

regardless of the failure of the operating system

#

the flagship phones are still desirable today for their capabilities

faint dragon
hollow reef
#

And the technology, both hardware and software, is still being integrated in Android and iOS

#

the budget Lumias are garbage

#

they used identical processors and screens to Android equivalents in the same price range

#

had no advantages other than ease of repair

faint dragon
#

I don’t think any windows phone can run asphalt 9

hollow reef
#

Nope

#

No port to the OS

faint dragon
#

You think windows phone is dead ( no offense)

hollow reef
#

in theory the 2016 HP Elite x3 and Alcatel Idol 4S could

#

as the Android version of the Alcatel Idol 4S can

#

but there is no port or way to get them to run W10ARM

#

Of course it is

#

The last Lumias were introduced 2015

#

last non-Lumias 2016

#

All production halted 2017

#

and operating system unsupported but still has app store as of January 2020

#

The technology is used by Microsoft for Surface products as well as Windows 10 ARM and HMD Global for the new Android Nokias

#

and Android + iOS are still taking ideas from it, such as dark mode, widgets, iris scanners

faint dragon
#

Honestly the original SE killed the windows phone

hollow reef
#

Nope

#

It did not die from competition or from lack of apps

faint dragon
#

Well it did the final blow

hollow reef
#

It was actually all behind the scenes stuff

#

Firstly, the OS was too late to market

#

While Windows Phones existed since 2003

#

They didn't adopt to finger touchscreens until 2010, by which time Android and iOS were established

#

Second, the phone manufacturers had to PAY licenses to use it

#

Android is free

#

Third, the cost

#

Nokia made 90% of Windows Phones

faint dragon
#

How the smartphone as we know it was the iPhone (1st generation)

hollow reef
#

Until that point, they made symbian phones using 2005 processors

#

and did so until halfway through 2012

#

Lumia started in 2011 with MASSIVE R&D cost

#

And this continued until 2016

#

They cancelled 5 separate production ready flagships in that time

#

Cancelled a software feature to natively run Android apps

#

cancelled a "3D touch" system that detected fingers and gestures before touching the screen

#

Invented optical image stabilization on phones and made 41 megapixel phone sensors in 2012 and 2013

#

and lastly, were bought by Microsoft for $7.6bil in 2014

#

That means by 2014

#

they already had spent at minimum $8bil

#

Windows Phone couldn't succeeed the second it hit the market

#

What is this supposed to mean

#

It's just a app list

fair pelican
#

at the bottom...

#

why...

faint dragon
#

What apps a normal person uses

#

I don’t know why that one is a skit

hollow reef
#

ignoring the fact a few of these didn't exist when Windows Phone did

minor turret
#

I guess bottom one is overused

hollow reef
#

Google boycotted them

#

so they had no Google apps (fun fact)

#

others relied on third party apps (as long as you were OK with this, not a issue)

#

Twitter, Netflix, eBay iirc had official apps

#

but as said, this was caused by being late to market and manufacturers of phones having to pay to use the OS

#

You can't have users if you don't have phones

#

and you don't have phones if you don't have manufacturers or users

faint dragon
hollow reef
#

the app problem was a symptom of those three key issues

#

Yes

faint dragon
#

I’m not running iOS 13 I’m using iOS 14 beta 2

hollow reef
#

Nice

#

the 3 iPhones I used as main phones were not bad phones

#

but in the end, I wanted the superior hardware outside CPU + GPU and more software versatility that Windows Phone offered

#

And now with Android, I get that and better support

#

it just fits my personal wants better, but iPhones are still a good choice for all-rounders

faint dragon
#

Do you still use iPhones as daily’s

hollow reef
#

Nope

#

I got rid of my 6S for a Razer 2

#

at the time I got it, was cheaper than a Lumia 950 used

#

nowadays, still true

faint dragon
#

I prefer iOS

hollow reef
#

as my first Android phone, has left a good impression so far

He's muted now

hollow reef

The green doesn't look so bad on the supra

#

would look better if it weren't what looks like a satin or matte finish though

minor turret
#

He got like 5 infractions in one day

hollow reef
#

rip him then

minor turret
#

If he gets it 15 more times (i guess) , then he'll be perma banned

rare ferry
#

seems he simply failed to read the server rules

#

also he only needs 8 to get perma

#

and he is on 8 hour mute due to 4 infractions in 24 hours

minor turret
#

Only 8 in total to get perma banned?

rare ferry
#

20

#

he has 12

#

last 3 b4 this one was "bad words"

minor turret
#

Rip him , but I heard that there's a way to avoid it , like 78 days and those infractions are forgotten

rare ferry
#

yeah

#

well good luck to ppl who get their infractions like candy pops in candy shop

minor turret
#

I have only 2 infractions in 3 months

#

2 of them are bad words

#

BTW I'm curious can mods change nickname of other user?

GT86, BRZ and FRS are triplets

Yeah , FRS was in A8 but then it was removed

actually idk

Cuz A8 is promoting street racing

On gamejolt there's alot of FNAF and these games with every character imaginable

Currently windows on arm sucks

#

The surface pro x is the first surface pro to run ok an arm processor

#

App compatibility ended up being a mess

#

Many apps and games are simply not designed for arm

#

Ending up with your stuff being broken

fringe verge
#

Because windows is not designed to work woth ARM architecture...there is no compactiblity between the hardware and software

crimson hazel
#

How much do you know about the mac transition to arm?

#

Since it’s happening this year, and im curious to see how successful it will be

fringe verge
#

How much do you know about the mac transition to arm?
@crimson hazel i am not too much into macs tbh...

crimson hazel
#

They have came prepared

#

I don’t use macs

#

But I keep myself informed about what goes on

lucid thistle
#

I'm with AMD for now.

crimson hazel
#

I have a shintel i7 6700hq

lucid thistle
#

Let's see when intel's gonna catch up.

crimson hazel
#

Intel has such a Huge market share

lucid thistle
#

true.

fringe verge
#

Let's see when intel's gonna catch up.
@lucid thistle i doubt they will..the speed at which amd is progressing

crimson hazel
#

They can slow down on innovation

lucid thistle
#

But now the customers are complaining.

crimson hazel
#

Now amd and Apple are giving them punishment for slacking off

lucid thistle
#

@fringe verge AMD went like 4 steps ahead of intel.

crimson hazel
#

Intel stuck on 10nm

#

While amd, Qualcomm and Apple are doing 7nm

#

And now 5nm

lucid thistle
#

Maybe we would soon see 5nm too.

fringe verge
#

@fringe verge AMD went like 4 steps ahead of intel.
@lucid thistle yeah thata why i said intel will struggle to catch-up

#

Anyone saw the oneplus nord launch?

lucid thistle
#

yes I did see that.

#

that red cable. lmao

#

why?

crimson hazel
#

The Apple a14 chip this year is most likely gonna be 5nm

#

So 5nm is coming real soon

fringe verge
#

In India they priced it at 25k...and the iphone se is 42k here same price as oneplus 8

crimson hazel
#

Tsmc is even reported to work on 3nm for 2022

fringe verge
#

The Apple a14 chip this year is most likely gonna be 5nm
@crimson hazel it is

lucid thistle
#

wait, the cable was always red so... šŸ˜†

#

@fringe verge everyone would obviously go for nord than that SE 2020

crimson hazel
#

The nord uses the sd765 chip

fringe verge
#

They should've brought the iphone xr body for it

lucid thistle
#

pod's cheaper too.

crimson hazel
#

The se uses a13

fringe verge
#

The nord uses the sd765 chip
@crimson hazel yeah

crimson hazel
#

The se is a lot more powerful than the nord

lucid thistle
#

@crimson hazel Yes, A13 is too OP.

fringe verge
#

The se uses a13
@crimson hazel but the battery is rubbish

crimson hazel
#

So people may still go for the se for its power

#

The battery isn’t that bad

#

While it’s size sucks

fringe verge
#

The battery isn’t that bad
@crimson hazel 3hrs at heavy usage...that very bad.

crimson hazel
#

For most people it would last the day no problem as long as they don’t use it heavily

fringe verge
#

Other phones do double of that

crimson hazel
#

Since it has much better standby time than other devices

#

Yeah I’m aware

#

I know about it’s battery problem

fringe verge
#

Since it has much better standby time than other devices
@crimson hazel yeah

lucid thistle
#

But most people would go for a smartphone which is overall a better device. Also 90Hz Amoled Display.

crimson hazel
#

Gotta pack a powerbank or battery case if you wanna do heavy gaming on that

#

For me though

#

I have easy access to chargers

#

So someone like me wouldn’t find it an issue

#

For you it may be different

#

The se is interesting to say the least

#

It’s so old but new at the same time

#

I appreciate it being the only small phone out there in a sea of giant screen devices

#

Where one can actually use it with one hand without needing to shimmy the phone up and down

#

Possibly dropping it

fringe verge
#

Thats the intended audience for the se..those who want a compact phone

crimson hazel
#

The iPhone 12 this year is gonna be even smaller

#

But with a bigger screen

#

So they might have killed one of their products

lucid thistle
#

Snapdragon 765 performs almost close to 800 series. Maybe almost same as 845. I don't game on a smartphone now. I have gaming laptop for Gaming. So.... A smartphone like Nord is a go go.

crimson hazel

I don’t take in my phone either
