hey

#

at least there's free shipping

light egret
#

Part of me wants to go back to apple ecosystem but most of me doesn't want to spend the money

#

also I liked how unlocked android is

velvet summit
#

i dont really have any reason to get into the apple ecosystem

mighty hazel
fervent stump
#

😔

velvet summit
#

also i like doing my own custom setups

#

so apple's locked down ecosystem does make it kinda hard to do that

fervent stump
#

I don’t like apple

velvet summit
#

ah yes

#

the cheesegrater

mighty hazel
#

The cheesegrater

light egret
#

My main reason for wanting to go back to apple is they were the first and still the best at compatibility with hearing aids over BLE

mighty hazel
#

These ones went kinda hard

velvet summit

is that 2 external drives

#

You can paint them probably

fervent stump
#

I’m dumb I will break them

velvet summit
#

hydrodip your airpods frfr

mighty hazel
#

You just have to spray paint the case on the outside

light egret
#

I've always wanted to take apart and paint my components and stuff but I too am afraid I will break them lol

fervent stump
#

I was going to get a 4090 FE then paint it a bit of white then I thought about it and realized how dumb I am

light egret
#

I've done it to a 360 controller but I botched it so I bought a new shell with red clear buttons lol

# worthy tapir Just got it

well hopefully its better than the razr. I've heard it is but there's still stories lol. My razr had a black dot that slowly grew within a month, and then I had to pay $300 to replace it, only for the usb port to break within a week. After many months of dealing with it, I replaced the USB port (i've done this tons of times and never had an issue on any other phone) and it went smooth af. When I turned it back on, USB port works! Neither screen works now. No idea why, can't fix it. so I got a pixel and have sworn off motorola since they wanted to charge $800 to replace under waranty both times

#

samsung would've replaced it for free peepoSadSip

worthy tapir

#

The crease didn't really bother me once it formed. You could see it at certain angles or if screen was completely white but that was it. But I never had graphical issues lol

fervent stump
# fervent stump 🤪

How do people not use the anti sag thing and there isn’t ever sag in this cool pictures

worthy tapir
#

Motorola is filled with bloatware anyways. I've stayed away from them since I had the moto z4

light egret
#

I think I only had the second phone about 5-6 months though

#

I went with the Razr over the zflip cause of not wanting to deal with bixby 😂

worthy tapir
#

I actually had a lot of what looked like screen tearing which I've never seen on a phone

light egret
#

I would have rather had to deal with bixby over the razr issues catJAMCRY

#

that's strange

#

I got the pixel 9 pro XL now and it's nice but it's emulation capabilities aren't as great as I thought they'd be.

#

BUT, it can take detailed photos of the stars guoba_happy

worthy tapir
#

Pixels are great phones. More people should give them a chance

sinful blade
#

Give google complete control over my phone? No thanks

worthy tapir

idk how well this is gonna load detail wise

oh that ended up super nice

I can take this with my iPhone 11 Pro

Even my old iPhone 7 camera was decent. Sometimes they degrade over time

I need to get a new phone mount for my tripod tho

I still on pixel 6 pro. Never upgrading till it acts up. There’s nothing on the market appealing to upgrade to.

sinful blade

#

well my wife got a samsung and hated it, so I gave her my pixel pro and used the samsung. She dropped it on a large bolt on our car port, and destroyed it. I got it fixed but the internals were messed up and so it never worked right again.

#

ATT took it anyways squirtlecool

worthy tapir
#

I need to get a tripod so I can get some good pics of the moon

I don’t think I’ve ever gone back to android since my iPhone 6

i bet that can last 6 years from now

#

i got 3 but I can't find one. It just so happens to be the one with my mount

dusk knot
worthy tapir
#

If I didn't get work perks I wouldn't be getting a new phone every year or every other. I notice no difference from my 23ultra to the 24 ultra

light egret
#

I only bought the razr cause I swithced plans and Xfinity locked my phone cause their system had a glitch and I needed a phone. That one was a bad idea so I got the pixel 9 pro. I usually keep my phones for years lol

sinful blade
#

I haven’t upgraded since wife forced me to cuz my phone was falling apart

light egret
#

My wife is still using the samsung 22+ and has no interest in upgrading lol

sinful blade
#

I went from iPhone 6, to 7, to 11 pro

#

Both 6 and 7 were tracfone
So it was years after release

light egret
#

I went from 3gs to 4s, to iphone XR, to pixel 4a, to pixel 6 pro cause 4a broke (which i traded my wife for samsung s22+), then to razr+2023 to pixel 9 pro XL

#

and before the 3GS it was various low end phones lol

My younger brother just got the Google pixel pro nine fold whatever it’s called and it’s not all that

light egret
#

I never got the appeal of the tablet folding phones

dusk knot
#

It’s OK, but honestly, it’s not exciting

light egret
#

The chances of me unfolding it are very low if it has a phone size screen on the outside lol

#

the flip I like cause flip phone

#

but the tech isn't there yet

worthy tapir
#

Good if you are some type of fancy buisness man I guess

light egret
#

yeh but if im some type of fancy business man, ima just cary my laptop which can fold in half to be a tablet.

worthy tapir
#

I rarely sell folds like ever.

#

Wonder if apple will ever do a foldable

rancid juniper
#

Just looked at the PS5 pro news

#

Tf are they smoking?

dusk knot
#

700 for 60fps

#

Hahahahhha

#

And slightly sharper visuals

#

No disc drive included

rancid juniper
#

Yea

#

That was diabolical

#

I was hoping $600 but 700 is pushing it

#

At that point build a pc

dusk knot
#

It's not like you're going to buy

rancid juniper
#

Well obviously not

dusk knot
worthy tapir
#

But how will you play the 4 exclusives

dusk knot
#

Wait a year or two for to release on PC

light egret
#

what exclusives aren't going to be on PC eventually?

dusk knot
#

I don't know but my source is me

#

Also, we've received a good amount of exclusives in the past few years so it can't be ruled out which ones are next

worthy tapir
#

Stinks we don't get gta 6 for awhile but only thing I really care about.

light egret
#

i think i'm probably done with gta lol

fervent stump
light egret
#

I mean GTA5 was good and all but they got kinda greedy with gta online IMO and it wasn't so good that I wanted to keep playing it. GTA6 will have to do a lot to get me to wanna play it lol

#

I prefer fantasy story games

Well with so many games getting bad reviews and not being good. What did they expect kekw

They should fire whoever came with those ideas

I think its both greed and or releasing garbage

mighty hazel

Probably the 2nd

unreal trail

partially

lone mango

Garbage with a hint of greed

mighty hazel
#

They get less money when they release a bad game so they gotta compensate somehow

#

Look at what happened with intel

Like 300 million on that but you can’t see CPU’s are dying till 2 years later 💀

rancid juniper

How bout putting that money into R&D?

So that the cpus won't collapse

lone mango

Yeah a fraction of that could have went into microcode development and this wouldn't have happened

mighty hazel

But no we need to improve our esg score

rancid juniper

I don't mind diversity but if you don't have the skills, look elsewhere

should have gone with amd optane PepeHands

empty tide

_>they're the old 16gb models

I don't know what to do with them. My minimal research says they're essentially m.2 cache meant to make a sata HDD boot faster. It can be used with a sata ssd but not nvme (with the exception of the Intel 660p and 665p)

The PS5 was way more worth it when it released, granted covid but even today it's a challenging value

$450 is really hard to beat

mortal grail

Yeah you can get close to a ps5 for 450

Missing wifi, 10-15% perf and RT

They were surely very cheap to attract new users right?

mortal grail

AM4 I'm not sure what early pricing was cos I was late to the table

But there are way more stripped down, uber cheap, no wifi picks

Lots more literal trash let alone the wifi side of things
