Researching something

Man, entropy just isn't what it used to be...

@MKBHD Dropping phones to see how well they hold up is an interesting addition to your reviews!

@TheAAAgent @growing_daniel Heat death of the universe?

I just liked “Vertical Video Syndrome - A PSA” on #Vimeo: https://t.co/9ACoYEa37n

@MrBeast Nah, give it to the top ten who aren't already Twitter famous 🫥

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@MKBHD Did they fix the main issue; poor software update commitment?

The lack of wireless charging was my only other issue IIRC, so very interesting!

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@khouryrt How is the under-display fingerprint sensor? Is it as fast on the sensor on something like the Pixel 5? Or are they still behind.

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@MKBHD This is a bad poll. What is "all its functionality"? What do you mean "built into your phone"? Siri and GA are the only options for getting facts or controlling your home.

@dark1x I just bought GT7 recently in preparation for the VR2 and I was surprised that the game was having full crashes as it's been out for a while. I will have to check if it's on my M2 and hopefully that fixes for me too. Thank you!

@ingnl @mpiotrek @TechnoMusicANL The circle jerk continues!

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@ingnl @mpiotrek Any update on this? Or should people who want to use Google Pay simply switch to a different bank?

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@Rasalas8910 @ArtemR @Android The difference in phones is more telling here. Pixels after the 6 all use Google's custom SOC. They fixed it on pre-Tensor phones like the 4a, but I guess something is different about Tensor phones.

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@MKBHD Is the screen a downgrade from the 3a? or 4a? What's a good upgrade that isn't increasing screen size?
A new Pixel 5 for €20 more than the 6a?

We small (read: reasonably sized) phone fans are getting fewer choices as time goes on :(

@khouryrt @LinkofHyrule89 @Mahmoudzitani I've tried that, but I realised the "community" in the comments is part of why I keep going back to AP (aside from the great writers and design it had). I can go to AA for your writing, but the commenters are still on AP last I checked.

@khouryrt My favourite instance of this is when your default speaker for a room is android TV, so this music you didn't ask for plays there. Combined with the fact voice controls (pause/stop/please end this noise) are currently broken for Android TV means I have to quickly find the remote!

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@khouryrt Me: hey Google, lights!

Google: I'm honoured to serve

Me: thanks a lot, Google. /s

@reckless @davemcclure It will be right around the time we create general AI. Any problem is solvable given enough time.

But not with current technology!

@backlon Set a goal to stop on Friday, whenever that is

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@backlon Second day of the weekend. Can't wait!

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@MKBHD @ijustine Don't you have a Mac Pro with 1.5TB of RAM that you use to edit video? Isn't 128GB of RAM woefully inadequate compared to that performance?

[Bon Vivant Ben @IndefiniteBen]

@backlon @verge @voxmedia And by "take a break" you mean visit somewhere nice and spend too much time on Twitter?
