TL;DR

  • Android Canary 2606 adds Google’s upcoming Screen Reactions feature.

  • The feature lets you record your screen and yourself simultaneously, with your camera feed overlaid on the recording.

  • Users can choose between a transparent background or six different background colors for their selfie overlay

Broken spoiler tags (reddthat.com)
submitted 2 months ago by limerod@reddthat.com to c/summit@lemmy.world

It seems Summit cannot render spoiler tags if there is no space between the colons and spoiler word. Voyager does not have this issue against whom I verified.

  • enable developer options
  • confirm that you are not tricked
  • restart phone and re-authenticate
  • wait one day
  • confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
  • decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
  • confirm that you accept the risks
  • enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this

I was trying to load this post https://lemmy.world/post/43549159 which I browsed through this comment: https://lemdro.id/comment/22976512

Unfortunately, summit cannot load it for some reason. I can load it fine in Voyager and the browser.

I like the link preview option. Unfortunately, after opening or copying the link. I need to manually click the X mark to close the link preview. Auto dismiss would make it that much usable.

Voyager has this feature where it can track the number of times you have upvoted a user's post/comment. A similar feature in summit would be neat.

TL;DR

  • Samsung has acknowledged its less-than-frequent Google Play system updates on Galaxy devices.

  • It has said that it only delivers software after testing, refuting Google’s plan to split updates into crucial and optional updates.

  • However, it has said that it will resume updates in January 2026.

Summary:

Basically, this is a hand-on view of the phone which has a 10k battery, 185hz display. A cooling fan in the camera casing. Flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite gen 5 in a body size similar to the Iphone 17 pro Max but with double the battery.

Honor claims it can do 5hrs of continuous gaming without any frame drops – the reviewer refused to verify this claim since apparently he has a life XD.

Anyway, the display has a PWM frequency of 5920hz which is super high. So eye sensitive folks may be good. Alongside 3000nits of high brightness.

The speakers are rated 2nd best according to ben, behind Poco F8 Ultra.

This is a china only launch so software is china centric with lots of bloat and launches with android 15 out of the box.

It has 3 cameras 50mp main shooter, 50mp telephoto, 12mp ultrawide.

The telephoto is good but not flagship territory. Ultrawide is ok.. It also has a 50mp selfie camera being a gaming phone and all for some reason..

Battery can be charged at 80w and supports bypass charging when gaming.

It's named Honor Win for some reason. Maybe, windows game emulation?

TL;DR

  • Google has started rolling out a new GPU driver for the Pixel 10 series with Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1.
  • The update aligns with Imagination’s August driver release and brings Android 16 and Vulkan 1.4 support.
  • While real-world performance gains remain unconfirmed, the update should reach stable builds in a future Pixel Drop

Summary:

  1. When your phone's battery health drops to about 85%, battery life shortens noticeably.

  2. When your phone's battery health falls to around 80%, a battery replacement is recommended.

  3. When your phone's battery health is above 80%, performance is basically unaffected.

After all that outcry. They only wrote about devs demanding longer. Conveniently ignoring fdroid's post among others.

Even for hobby projects you would be required to create a limited developer account and submit government identification if you want to distribute apps to a larger audience.

Ridiculous, mother of bullshit! Switching to Linux appears to be the only option left for a personal computing device.

Who asked? If they cared about users they would install F-droid not Epic store.

TL;DR

  • YouTube is increasing subscription prices outside the US, affecting both individual and family plans.

  • The price hike differs per region, with some seeing changes between 30% to 50%.

  • If you're impacted, it makes YouTube Premium more expensive than Spotify Premium and Apple Music.

That was almost a decade ago or even before. I remember adockers recommending white listing search engines or recommending to disable non-instrusive ads to support websites.

For all the sustainability push and saving the planet green talk. They like other manufacturers were quick to remove the charger from the box.

But, now nothing. Replace or throw the Pixel watch in the bin if broken.

It was shared on the fediverse 2 days ago. Now, we get this. I don't want to assume malice, but something seems fishy.

Fortunately, it's still available on fdroid. This is one of the reasons you should get your apps from fdroid instead of play store.

[-] limerod@reddthat.com 52 points 2 years ago

It's high time Custom ROMs and users alike did this. I cannot run a custom ROM on my primary device due to play integrity shenanigans some apps may have.

Stupidity at its finest. The whole point of cheap 3rd party apple accessories is to use workarounds to get past apple DRMs and use them without paying the apple tax.

Blame apple foremost for creating such a market in the 1st place. You don't need such workarounds in other phones because they just work.

What good are 5-7 years of updates? If you don't let us repair our phones when we need. Assuming, everything else is fine.
