Turns out that if you actually get ratings above the 1.0 mark, networks want to actually air your show. Wild.

Aiii (12645069)

I could, and that's all that matters when the question is whether I would buy it. But even then. People that say they can't tell either need to get (better) glasses, or they're just not looking or lying. At over 6" you should definitely be able to see the difference.

Aiii (12640724)

Getting a sub-1080p screen in this day and age just doesn't seem appealing to me at all. I'm really not sure why they opted for that, especially since the price isn't exactly budget range at all. I don't mind missing out on 3D Touch, and the rest of the specs are just fine, but the resolution at 6 inches is a deal breaker afaic.

Aiii (12631675)

Aiii (12632228)

They do. I've gotten stuff earlier than the estimate almost every time they've done preorders. Generally it's just a couple of days, though.

Aiii (12601313)

Locked upon the OP's request.

Aiii (12605201)

It has a web version that has all the features on any device you wish.

Aiii (12603504)

So the entire world is supposed to get rid of their PC's, Android's and other non-iOS devices then?

Aiii (12583732)

October 9th, actually.

Aiii (12586391)

Samsung's phones are bigger, they have more bezel, thus more room around the screen in general for other things. It's a valid choice to make, but not that odd. The Notch haters find this hard to believe, but some people prefer to not have full bezels and like the aesthetic of minimalist bottom bezel (or even better, no bottom bezel like iPhone does) and a notch. As for removing the headphone jack, it does have a small positive effect on battery life, as the headphone is not just the port, but a small DAC as well, which does take more power than Bluetooth does. So it's not entirely untrue that it positively affects battery life even if the extra space isn't used for a bigger battery.

Aiii (12585677)

Join the wireless future, I'm fine with it. I've yet to use the headphone jack in the 6. Just a useless hole.

Aiii (12584898)

My 15 month old iPad Pro straight up died out of nowhere last Monday. Send it in, got a brand new one today at no cost. Gotta love EU consumer rights.

Aiii (12582081)

Is that the general most used in the UK? Or do most people use WhatsApp?

Aiii (12581180)

Wouldn't hurt if it's adopted worldwide and across Android and iOS. Personally I'd love to ditch WhatsApp and all their Facebook bollocks.

Aiii (12559667)

I mean you also get the Max this year, which is a significant upgrade because the 5.8 was a bit small if you came from the Plus.

Aiii (12558646)

Insane, my personal insurance costs €4.72 a month, for everything on me for damages, theft, loss up to €3000. Is all insurance so expensive state-side?

Aiii (12559463)

As Cat Dad pointed out, if you don’t mind waiting a year for some of the small performance and speed updates, sure, it is better.

Aiii (12559263)

Not really, the 6S through 8 releases were similarly iterative. It is best to make sure you are on the main two year cycle and upgrade then, ignoring the S cycle.

Aiii (12557492)

My OnePlus 6 128gb red was €560. Hmmm.

Aiii (12556818)

Apple invents long press.

Aiii (12556605)

Sure, because Apple is pushing their standard, rather than creating or using one that can be used with a multitude of phones.

Aiii (12556439)

And if you paid attention during the Watch event, select carriers in a total of 16 countries worldwide support it. The other 180 or so do not.

Aiii (12562459)

This thread is no longer needed with the event thread and actual device threads now.

Aiii (12540212)

Yes, that is generally the case.

Aiii (12558815)

On the upside, the 1080p and price of my far superior OnePlus 6 became even better.

Aiii (12557802)

Fuck off Google. Seriously.

Aiii (12534123)

This thread has already played out and been followed up by another thread.

Aiii (12535828)

I switch back and forth all the time. Right now I'm back to Android, missing a bit of ecosystem stuff and Homekit, but gaining NFC, LDAC Bluetooth, Google Assistant, better password manager integration into the OS and of course, better notifications.

Aiii (7687886)

You mean they will have to reserve their own tables when they go out for dinner? I am sure they will be horribly traumatized.

Aiii (7681749)

Inching ever so much closer to a world where all I have to interact with is my cats and Netflix. Now all I need is for Google Assistant to learn how to mod Resetera. Save me Google.

Aiii (7688434)

And you are thinking to big. Centralized metadata is not a requirement for AI to work. The examples illustrated here can all be done with local data, all it needs is your name and your input command. You fridge AI does not need to know anything, it can do localized machine learning and provide the exact same services. Your elevator AI doesn't need your metadata, it just needs to know what floor you work or live on one time to take you there every time. There is no reason for anyone to personally interact with Google Services to utilize AI services in the future. And people that actively choose to not use AI for tasks they can do themselves will -at worst- have a bit less free time than people that do. Grandma will be fine, is all I am saying.

Aiii (12507248)

Nothing a bit of software can't fix. What I mean, latency doesn't matter in practical use for most use cases. Nobody will really care if their music starts a couple ms too late (which is also why it won't matter for the average dongle user, either).The only times most people in general use will notice it is if there's a mismatch between audio and video, right? And as long as the Pixel is configured to match the playback with the latency, all should be good regardless of latency value. Most cases can be resolved on the software level if needed. For instance, my WH-1000XM3's have perfect sync on things like YouTube and Netflix on my OnePlus 6 with the latest Pie Beta (and on iOS, too, for the record), despite whatever latency still exists with the BT4.2 on the headphones (it didn't on the Development Beta, which resulted in a video/audio mismatch, but betas gonna beta). Granted, that's an expensive headset, so mileage will vary on low-end sets, but well worth the investment imo.

Aiii (12505849)

One of the big advantages of having Android Oreo and over is having LDAC, so just get rid of the dongle altogether.

Aiii (12498218)

That scene with Jimmy and Howard was great.

Aiii (12474649)

Aiii (12481497)

I bought them on the airport in America and see them available all across The Netherlands. So yes, they are. The M2s were discounted because the 3 is out.

Aiii (12463791)

Please, unless a game is announced, don't make threads that boil down to port-begging for a certain game to come to your platform of choice. Thank you.

Aiii (12458515)

There we go, thanks.

Aiii (12458162)

I had locked this, but I can't find said previous thread at all. So opening it again.

Aiii (12465751)

I think a lot of the late 80s and early 90s had been dominated by PSA's, "don't do drugs", "stranger danger" and other such messages. Especially when all the media we consumed like shows like Saved By The Bell had special episodes to teach us not to pop pills in the most hamfisted ways... I think a lot of youth felt very patronized and the cultural shift to a more rebellious "fuck you, we'll do what we want and nobody is going to tell us we can't swear and be tough" is a result of that.

Aiii (11099886)

Nobody should want to be Zach Ryder in any kind of scenario, but especially this particular one.

Aiii (11099808)

Some extra recognition here for Ratsky's work on these monthly threads, greatly appreciated

Aiii (7830741)

As a driver, I concur. Good choice.

Aiii (628550)

My 2008 Skoda Octavia II Combi 1.6 FSI. Not anything special as far as anyone is concerned, but I love that car to death. I bought it new in 2008 to replace my Volkswagen Golf III Variant. VW was becoming too expensive and this car is in every way a VW Golf, just less expensive, alot bigger as far as boot size goes and more luxurious as far as accessoires goes, so the choice was easily made after getting prices on this and a Golf V Variant. 9 years in I commute to work by foot so I barely drive anymore, I think I might just keep driving this for at least another 5 to 10 years waiting for the next big breakthrough in non-fossil fuel engines.

Aiii (12437682)

Sorry, it is sung in Limburgish, but this song is a great funural song choice. As for my fun song, I hope to get a laugh in with this one:

Aiii (12397368)

I got the WH-1000XM3's yesterday, and boy are they a significant improvement over the MDR-1000Xs. The build quality is so much better, no longer do my headphones creak at every turn of the head. They are also way more comfortable, I wore them for like 10 hours straight (on a plane) and only at the end was I getting a little fatigue (not even anything major, just a tiny bit of discomfort that is probably due to my right ear being a bit too outward facing :D). The sound quality is amazing, the noise cancelling (which was already excellent) is just ever so slightly better. They are miles ahead in just overall sound than the Bose QC35II's I was using. The Bose's AAC just sounds utterly shit compared to the sound the LDAC and the built-in upscaling the Sony's produces. As far as BT ANC headphones in this price range go, there's just no competition anymore. Sony fixed pretty much every issue I had with 1000Xs in this third version. Great set.

Aiii (72183)

So worth it. 1Password and Authy have been my go to apps for years now. Never looked back.

Aiii (12213703)

Objection!

Aiii (12090694)

I believe only Platinum Tier members get access to upvotes, downvotes, and frowny smiley faces.

Aiii (12074773)

I have to be honest, I haven't had a 1080p screen in years until I got the OnePlus 6 and you don't even notice it at all. As long as it has a good screen with vibrant colors, you'll be fine with 1080p on 5.5 inch

Aiii (12075130)

Yeah okay, that's fair. You do notice it if you pay attention to text, I'll give you that.

Aiii (12063757)

New Mac Mini with Macbook pro specs please.

Aiii (12060449)

Hm, I'd be interest in some reviews to see if they are actually more comfortable now. I love my MDR-1000Xs, but I can't bear to wear them more than a couple of hours at most until my right ear especially gets irritated to the point of it being too uncomfortable to bear. Got some QC35s just because they're more comfortable. But the sound quality and overall convenience of the buttons and the quick attention mode are far ahead of Bose's AAC set. They're fine, don't get me wrong, but if these are comfortable like the Bose's (and hopefully don't creak as much when you're moving), they could be my next set.

Aiii (12052453)

Fits any 20mm band. Aliexpress is full of bands, I got a velcro Apple rip-off band for like 3 bucks, came with pins, easy as pie.

Aiii (6381572)

I had two Android Wear watches, the LG G Watch R and a Huawei Watch. They were pretty cool, but not perfect. I switched back to iOS since and have had an Apple Watch now for about 18 months. It is great. Battery life is over two days, great for notifications, music control, using Siri (mostly to control my Hue lights, reminders and stopwatch) and tracking my daily activity (meeting that 850 active calory a day goal is addictive). Definitely all I expected smart watches to be, and it is a shame Wear never got there, because the design of the Huawei Watch was perfect.

Aiii (12050718)

Nah, removing all the transformations from Dragon Ball would have made it entirely less hype. In this scenario we would have never gotten Gohan's SSJ2 transformation.

Aiii (12034515)

Yeah, as an unknown brand that seems like a horrible idea. I guess it was always gonna be a niche phone.

Aiii (12017843)

Dunkin' what though? Too much of a cliffhanger like this.

Aiii (12017551)

Ah, of course, should have realized. In that case, there are some options. There's the Amazon tablet range that might be interesting (but you know, Amazon bloated). There's the Huawei MediaPad M3, that might be a good option. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A only has a 10.5" option so that's probably too big. But I think that's about it unless you want to go really cheap and not have any (security) updates and outdated Android versions.

Aiii (12016812)

I gave up on Android tablets, the market just went and died and the output that is there just isn't very good. Either go 6.5+ inch Phablet or go iPad. All the Android tablets have been mediocre at best, specs wise. And a lot of them seem to be overpriced.

Aiii (12016967)

What if we're all alts? Do we even have proof that any of this is real?

Aiii (12015472)

Unfortunately we can't allow donation threads. While we feel for your troubles, we'd advise you to research if there's perhaps some government aided programme in the country you're in you could apply for, or assistance from the institution itself. Your school might be able to guide you in the right direction.

Aiii (12015808)

I'd love for it to be gone. I'd prefer to stay at CEST throughout the year, but either is fine.

Aiii (12014950)

Literally in the OP.

Aiii (9693488)

At least they had the GOAT song and none of that Faulconer crap accompanied by a shitty voice over.

Aiii (11974263)

Thanks for the dedicated thread :S

Aiii (11972491)

Never hurts to use spoiler tags, just make sure you note which ep your spoiling. Generally everything that's available on ww Netflix is fair game to post without spoilers, but it never hurts to be courteous to others.

Aiii (8171792)

Is Punk music the new Emo?

Aiii (8172455)

Not the punk tracks these young lads are listening to. Maybe they will segueway into actual emo later on in the season, I am not that far in.

Aiii (11935973)

Aiii (11912007)

Finally got around to watching this. Ton of fun, good acting, especially by the girls in this one.

Aiii (11901521)

When you get home take the five minutes to watch a YouTube video and practice a few times so you are not this person next time this happens. @above Just tie it yourself and take it off without removing the knot, you don't need to tie it around another's neck.

Aiii (11901795)

No Snapdragon 845 either, which would be a deal breaker for me.

Aiii (6175457)

This is a lot more than 3,99 a month it costs to stream on HIDIVE. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aiii (11875314)

Really enjoyed the movie, the only gripe I really have with it is that it took too long to get to the suited action. Oh, and the severe underuse of the MMPR theme.

Aiii (11871178)

It definitely came off like that, especially in Japan where there's no taboo on age difference like that I can see why he thought he still had a chance. Easy to forget too that the editing tried hard to make Ami look emotionally disconnected from the housemates.

Aiii (11828143)

Missing a certain four letter catchphrase there.

Aiii (11826665)

I mean, I get your point and I agree that this is the standard we need for Android devices. But on iOS, I don't see why you would need to go over 3GB, especially with the optimized OS update coming up. I could load a game in the morning and pull it up in the evening and it would still be there in the memory. I certainly don't consider myself a casual phone user, but mileage may very, etc.

Aiii (11807077)

To be honest, it really doesn't matter performance wise. The iPhone X with it's 3GB was every bit as good at keeping stuff active than the OnePlus 6 with 8GB is for me now. The OS and the way it handles background processes is just so vastly different you can't really compare the two.

Aiii (11783994)

Yes, I'm sure the profit margin on repairs is totally 500 bucks, makes perfect sense and doesn't sound like bs or fake outrage to me.

Aiii (11764487)

If that was the case the notches would be that size. The height is pretty much set at that size limit everyone except Google uses, I would assume. This promo pic goes a long way in showing how much of a non-issue the notch is though, since you can hide it and still get the benefit of having the status bar off of the main screen, best of both worlds.

Aiii (11751182)

And a huge chin. You could see it in that spyshot on the subway, the thing was huge. I compared it by holding my OnePlus in the same position and the sheer amount of extra phone there, it'll be impossible to use and I doubt it'll fit in most pockets.

Aiii (11748212)

I'm pretty excited for this. Early Bleach was tons of fun, hope they got it right.

Aiii (11748599)

I hear Rudy Giuliani is available, Mister President, Sir.

Aiii (11721520)

Marked out for Keiko Agena. Already has a bigger role in this than in the GG revival lol.

Aiii (11704209)

With all the talent working at Google, how did nobody veto that design anyways?

Aiii (11718251)

Why would they offer him that kind of deal?

Aiii (11699776)

Sounds like Coolblue in the Netherlands. Which grew from a couple of guys to one of the biggest business in The Netherlands. If he knows what he's doing, is devoted, and has a good idea on how to grow the business and compete with the existing webshops, he's not completely without chance of making something good out of it.

Aiii (11693103)

This is why memes are a detriment to internet culture.

Aiii (11658355)

The problem with most of these browsers is still that they don't support the autofill api and if I can't easily access my 1Password saved passwords what's the use of the browser being a few milliseconds faster when I'm losing seconds every time I need to switch apps to copy/paste passwords manually. :D

Aiii (11671733)

Already lasting longer than the original GLOW.

Aiii (11657842)

Yeah, this is ridiculous. If a cook can't make new recipes based on existing food and name them to reflect that, we're just gonna spend the next few centuries eating the same old stuff.

I mean, I'm not saying it absolutely can't be. But even the cheapest cables are so-called "high-speed" cables. There's not really a special cable just for HDMI 2.0 data, it's all just data to the cable. All that's required is that it can throughput all of it, hence "high speed." Cnet has a decent article on it:

Aiii (11657437)

There's secretly no such thing. Pretty much every cable you currently own is a "high speed" hdmi cable, and it will be just fine.

Chris Benoit was my favorite wrestler from the first time he was on Nitro until his death. Unfortunately he has also committed a horrific double murder, so no, you can never talk about his career with that huge asterisks hovering over the discussion. Even watching his matches, his rabid wolverine persona is really uncomfortable to see, knowing what he did later. Every headbutt, even every blade job, it is just so uncomfortable to watch. Part of it is just that wrestling is too close to reality to go with a disconnecting the character from the actor like you would if it was a movie or regular TV series .

Aiii (11591103)

It's bonus footage. They call it Another Terrace. It doesn't get translated, but sometimes the subreddit people do it. The people translating the original season are thinking about moving onto translating Another Terrace clips after they finish Boys x Girls in a few weeks, so we might get translations for those soon. Here's a post-show interview with the pair: It's the end of Boys x Girls, so you'll want to watch that first.[/QUOTE]

Just wait until you get to the ending of Aloha State then.

Normal folks can barely buy the Pixel as is. It's not nearly as available as other phones, you have to go directly to Google and even then it's a coin toss whether they even sell it in your country or not. I don't think Google particularly wants to sell Pixel's. It's more that they gave up on waiting for android manufacturers to bring their latest stuff like the Assistant to market and resorted to making their own hardware instead, so at least they can show off cool stuff like the appointment-making phone calls and things like VR and AR. As for the market for stock and quick updates, there's plenty of manufacturers now that are doing that outside of Google. You might need to wait a month or two tops for Pie on your phone now, that's manageable (and if it's not, you can get the beta on your phone today).

Aiii (11556448)

Turns out when you get put into extreme situations a lot you have a high chance of becoming emotionally unstable.

Aiii (11557478)

Looking at the size of that phone, is it actually going to be 6.7inch?

Aiii (11556126)

Yeah man, can you believe his best friend and mentor let his girlfriend choke on her own vomit and then he CRIED about it? Like seriously, he even tried to set the guy's house on fire. I mean, the ultimate example of how much of a little kid he was is when the neo-nazis kept him locked up in a cage for 3 months and he barely kept it together. What a whiny kid. ...

Aiii (11526359)

We concur, not much room for discussion here, just shock.

Aiii (11527125)

Everyone got eliminations. Ultimate Gohan got to hang with Goku Blue. And you can't have every single person in Universe 7 make it to the end and be the strongest. I thought they did a good job at making everyone seem balanced and their sacrifices in their losses meaningful.

Aiii (11526627)

It's extra funny because it's the exact opposite in how Super actually made a concerted effort to make the non-Saiyan characters more relevant and equal on power level (though, of course, people complained about HOW they did it). And Super actually felt closer to original Dragon Ball than even DBZ ever did.

Aiii (11523894)

I have to say, of all the ways Steins;Gate has murdered Mayushii so far, this one was definitely the most creative.

When one of the top reasons is: "Buying unlocked, trading in can make the price easier to stomach" I'd say you're not making a great case for the phone being worth the huge price.

So comfortable. I wish 2018 clothing was that comfortable.

Don't be like this. You can disagree with posters without being dismissive or rude.

With the 3rd party app to customize notifications, incoming calls, button presses, and the like on the Amazfit Bip, this has been quite the surprise. It can do so much more than just the things it does out of the box. Very good. Did a short workout (cycling) this morning, and the watch displayed all the right info and updated quickly, so that's good. Even found the website for custom watchfaces: Yeah, this really is the new Pebble. Good stuff.

Aiii (11433628)

Ah that is great, thanks.

Aiii (11419606)

You see, this is why home ed classes should forever be taught in schools so people know the difference between different foods stuffs.

Aiii (11431689)

So to update on this. Got the Amazfit Bio in the mail today, the Mi Band 3 just wasn't up to snuff in that the screen was unreadable outside and it was too small to even read notifications on. First impressions are really good. Screen looks good, functionality is all there, GPS and all, I can keep using the excellent Mi Fit app, but can now start worriesw directly on the watch with just a long press on the button. I especially appreciate the variety of watch faces. Only thing I'm still missing is music controls on the watch, but for sixty bucks that's okay. So thanks for the recommendation.

Aiii (11426379)

I'd honestly be surprised if Essential even still exists next year.

Where else are they gonna get paid? Impact Wrestling? Ring of Honor? There's only one place in America they'll get paid, and most of them need the money. The ones that don't you barely or never see back in WWE.

Aiii (11326969)

Well that wouldn't be that hard to find out. It's not like she dropped off of the face of the Earth. She wrote a New York Best Selling novel, and is writing a second book while being active as a public speaker on mental health.

Aiii (11327225)

Because WWE is known for its healthy work environment that fosters long term commitments by it's employees.

Aiii (11325053)

While I'd love to credit Apple for this, Sony has a long track record of overpricing their phones.

Aiii (11320739)

Easily the best phone on the market right now.

Aiii (11305030)

Tons of people consistently complain about wanting smaller phones. Palm might just be on to something here.

Aiii (11303724)

If you really want to see the world burn, sure you could do that. I had to try pretty hard to get to 45% space used on my 128gb internal storage heh.

Aiii (11302387)

Fair enough. Still, a 250 premium to go from 6 to 8 would give me pause.

Aiii (11301096)

Wouldn't it be cheaper to get the 128gb model with a SD card?

Aiii (11295496)

999 Euro for a BT pen, a bigger battery and an extra .1 inch. Meh.

Aiii (11302796)

Hollywood. If the metoo movement should have thought you anything (if this wasn't already known for decades that is), it is that it is way too toxic for anyone to involve themselves with, especially child actors.

Aiii (11296983)

At least the US will fund this space thing better than their other space thing.

Aiii (11282385)

Because Blumhouse doesn't want to make a good deal with Netflix that makes it worth both their while, I would assume.

Aiii (11241065)

Aiii (11213450)

OnePlus already does gestures really well, no more dumb status bar taking up screen space and burning into my screen. Great stuff.

Aiii (11187684)

That end of fall date for updates on phones in the beta program is disappointing. Let's hope they're just extremely conservative, because if Treble means we still have to wait until December for some of these phones to get the OS update we're not any better off than before. I was expecting most of these phones to be updated within weeks rather than months.

Unfortunately my rapping skills are sorely lacking, only to be outdone in awfulness by my general musicality, so I'm unsure what you'd need me for. That said, I enjoyed the music in the trailer. I also quite enjoyed the first Creed OST, so there's that. --- Trailer looks great, this reboot of the franchise was a stroke of genius. Creed might be my favorite Rocky movie outside of 1, and this trailer seems to be stop on in line with that. So in for this.

Start taking daily walks, get a bike and commute to work without a car or public transport. Educate yourself about proper eating habits, nutrition, and how to portion.

No, not a problem in The Netherlands. If I need emergency care I can go the Emergency Room and depending on the urgency of my sickness or injury and those of the others there I can either be helped immediately, quickly, or at worst within an hour or two at the most. I also have a 24/7 option to go to the GP or get a house call if needed. There is always the option of calling my own GP and getting a same day appointment or I can go to a shared GP's office that is manned during non-office hours, if my sickness or injury isn't as serious as the ER. And of course, there is no need to worry about costs. Even if I was overreacting and I am actually fine.

Hope this means we'll see a return to form after the very disappointing third season.

What do you mean, your house? It's obviously the spider's house now.

Hmmm, this is gonna be interesting.

No worries, it will do well. I have no fears about this show doing well.

The infraction points that get mentioned are actually just an autogenerated thing the forum software Xenforo adds, since it's part of the warning system. There's nothing that can be done about it, but we don't use that particular functionality.

Aiii (11045650)

Aloha is definitely the worst season, but the final part is must-watch and so would even say the rest of the season is still pretty good.

Aiii (11044515)

Sure, but from that trailer I can't tell, it has this weird stock music and all the comments are not English.

Aiii (11033477)

It's okay, Avengers revived it.

Aiii (11033186)

Is 2 billion insane? You'd earn that sum back within like 2 solo-movies, not counting income from the shared movies.

In a shocking move, Android P releases at the same week as new Android version always do. Quality leak. :D

I am very much in favor of never letting Bronson pick titles, keep it up Berzeli.

The OnePlus 6 is just an insanely good phone. Period. You don't even have to say it is an insanely good phone for its price, it is an insanely good phone even when put up against the 1000 USD flagships. I sold my iPhone X because it can just easily compete with phones of that quality and price range. Yes, the camera is ever so slightly less good than the Pixel, X and no doubt the S9. But it really isn't by much, and for most people it simply won't matter. So yeah, I can easily see why you would replace the Pixel out any other phone with the OnePlus experience being what it is. With their current update policy, especially.

Aiii (11009149)

This doesn't explain why the Dutch Steins;Gate subs were so godawful I almost cried because of them. It was like baby's first fansubs in how literal and dictionary like that shit was. Generally I do not bother with anything but English, but they didn't have anything but these ones.

I'm gonna regret getting so hyped up about this movie, I'm sure. But I'll be damned if I'm not hyped up.

Aiii (10989707)

Alternative theory, the editing in this show manipulates you into seeing people a certain way. For instance, she and Tsubasa are really good friends, did we see that relationship on the show, even once?

Aiii (10960564)

Aiii (10960481)

Yeah, when you're one of the most important people in an abusive exploitative cult, I am sure that a bit of bashing is to be expected.

I'd rather have a nodge with straight edges because that appeals to me more aesthetically, but this is pretty good. Shame they haven't yet been able to eliminate the chin. Come on Android phone makers, get on it.

Aiii (10918855)

Yep, OMB was by far the superior coming of age comedy on Netflix, so I'm good.

Aiii (10904381)

Aye, that opening scene was amazing, very well animated.

Aiii (10904941)

The AOT ED is leagues beyond the OP.

Aiii (10908208)

How many notch phones are for sale and readily available at this point? Do you know many people who buy non-Samsung Android flagships regularly? Give it a while longer, we are only at the very start of notch Android phones appearing in the market.

Aiii (10907212)

Is the Samsung design what their customers want? Is it preferable to have a useless top bezel over a notch that you can optionally "hide" in the settings so you can have appearance of a top bezel, but still have the benefit of having the extra space of the status bar in that place? I don't most customers actually prefer a top bezel, I certainly don't, just extra height on a phone I can do without. Most people that have phones with notches don't seem to be minding them, so I'm not entirely sure that it's the case that people prefer bezels. Better even would be totally bezel-less, but until we're there, a notch solution so you have done extra screenspace for icons, a clock and battery percentage is just fine by me.

Aiii (10907899)

Unless we know why Samsung is the sales leader, this doesn't tell us that much about anything. Their marketing is a huge factor. The fact that for many people Samsung is the only phone they will buy, because they think the choice is either Samsung or Apple, or just because it's the devil they know. All contributing factors. If Samsung had two almost identical models, one bezel, one notch, that would be the only realistic way to make a comparison here. But since Samsung buyers can only go bezel, it tells us nothing about that. Notch means winning screen space by eliminating the status bar from the main screen. That's the big pro of having it .

Aiii (10902659)

No problem.

Aiii (10903283)

Both chin and notch are larger than others have them, guess those stereo speakers were really worth it?

Aiii (10881347)

Expected, but nice to have confirmation so early.

This wall of crawling text is really selling me on this show letmetellya.

Aiii (10867805)

Aiii (10855235)

It was great. I was very meh about the rest of the finale. They neatly resolved all storylines in 40 minutes, but it had zero emotional impact.

Aiii (10854724)

I have both the MDR-1000Xs (i.e. the almost identical predecessor to the WH-1000XM2) and the Bose QC35IIs. The Sony wins in the sound department. But your preference being less bass, I think the Bose is better for you on that front. The Sony has LDAC, which makes a difference if you are on Android 8.0 or higher, but it really isn’t that huge a difference with AAC. The ANC on either is virtually identical, and while the ambient sound gimmick is nice, in practice I never use it. The hand on cup to let sound through also, you still take off the headphones 99% of the time, if only to not appear rude to others. The Bose has Google Assistant built in. Which is amazing. It reads your notifications, you can ask it a ton of things, you get told who is calling, it is a significantly better experience. Though this is mostly on Android. The Bose allows you to connect two devices simultaneously, which makes life very easy if you have a tablet and a phone, or a laptop with bluetooth. Finally, most importantly, the Bose is significantly more comfortable. The Sony clamps down more, and presses on your ears. I get fatigued within an hour or two, and I have to take them off for a while. Very impractical. The Bose can be worn for hours without discomfort. Also, the Sony creaks alot, so if you intend to wear them while walking or working out, note that this is a thing that will be annoying on quieter tracks, podcasts, or audiobooks. All in all they both have pros and cons, and your use case probably determines which you prefer. For me, it is the Bose because of the comfortability, assistant and the ability to use two devices at once.

Aiii (10855179)

These people are right. This person is not. Claws is 10/10. Insanely funny, a must-watch.

Aiii (10847755)

It is as I said, there's no device that rivals the Apple Watch in every aspect that device delivers on. If you have ever owned and used both a Wear OS device and an Apple Watch, you would probably understand the difference in level between Wear OS and Apple Watch. I'm hoping Wear OS catches up someday. And no, Bixby is not on Siri's level, and while Siri is not on Google Assistants level (even though Siri Shortcuts is gonna put it back in the game), it does have areas where it outperforms Google Assistant to this day, in particular when it comes to Homekit versus Google Home. But contrary to Wear OS, I have full faith Google will catch up there sooner, rather than later. The Gear S3 comes closest to what I want, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Samsung announces next month, but if I can't get Google Assistant on it, I fear it's a big loss on that.. As well as seeing if Wear OS is getting an update. For fitness, I am good with the Xiaomi Mi Band for now, but ideally I go back to a full smartwatch sooner, rather than later. For instance, I leave my phone on the living room table all the time when I'm at home, I utterly miss the convenience of being able to talk to my watch to control my smart home stuff -especially my hue scenes-, I miss my music and podcast controls (and I mean full controls, not just play/pause/next), I miss not having to get up to fetch my phone to get to my 1Password 2FA codes when I'm behind my computer in my home office. I also miss the sophisticated taps the Apple Watch does on your wrist (especially when compared to the awful buzz that my old Huawei Watch had, jesus that was horrid). To name but a few practical cases. Thing is, as I said, there's good alternatives for just fitness. There's decent alternatives for getting the voice commands. There's alternatives for the controls and apps. But I have not yet found the device that matches the Apple Watch in everything, I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist yet.

Aiii (10833423)

It's the Chinese version, it's in English, so is my phone, but even when I set the phone to Dutch now the band remains in English. -edit: Actually, that's not true, it switches to Chinese when I open the app. But as I said, my phone is in English, so that's not an issue for me personally.

Aiii (10833579)

Check the edit.

Aiii (10833051)

First night with the Xiaomi Mi Band 3. It's serviceable. It's great if you take into account it has only cost me 24 Euro on Aliexpress. Apparently I sleep better than 97% of the other Mi Band wearers, surprising since it was like 25 degrees Celsius last night and it's not really been comfortable. All in all just happy to have my stand reminders and notification buzzes on my wrist again. Certainly still missing the Apple Watch though, I simply don't understand why there's not a single alternative to even approach it on Android. There's some that rival it in some areas, but there's not a single one with a proper package. You're either stuck with Bixby, or stuck with low resolution, or you have the fitness watches that have no apps and limited notification capabilities... or you have to go Wear OS with all its flaws and very average fitness capabilities.

Aiii (10832324)

After reviewing the OP's history it does not appear that this thread was created in good faith, but rather in protest of their ban in a prior topic.

Enige probleem is dat je hele device in het Nederlands moet, dat tolereer ik dan weer net ff wat minder heh. Hier overigens wat je allemaal kan met Assistent:

Aiii (10799742)

OH, eindelijk! Heb net een Bose QC35 II met Google Assistant, dus dat is perfect. Al heb ik niet zo veel moeite met Engels te gebruiken.

Aiii (10800313)

Ja, je externe devices kun je instellen. Maar je telefoon gebruikt je device settings.

Aiii (10800369)

Nah ja, er lijkt al aardig ondersteuning te zijn in Nederland. Rabobank heeft een assistent, en ook bedrijven als PostNL: Dus misschien maar leven met Nederlands, I guess.

Aiii (10802151)

The only action movie I can think of that can challenge it since then is Mad Max: Fury Road.

Aiii (10803485)

Yeah, you can rent most movies, but not when they first arrive. RPO isn't available for rent until the end of August, for instance.

Aiii (10801833)

They want you to buy the most expensive thing they sell, the 4K HDR Blu-Ray WB distribute themselves. That said, iTunes sells RPO in 4K Dolby Vision.

Aiii (10798600)

Dutch Netflix has slowly been expanding their anime offerings, they actually recently added season 1 of March comes in Like a Lion. Hope more people get to watching that now.

Aiii (10783041)

As they say OP, it is best to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. That goes for friends too, as far as I'm concerned. As for your friends that are leaving, just make sure you make an effort to stay in touch. Long distance friendships take work, but are certainly possible to maintain. Make plans to visit regularly and make sure to check in via text often.

Aiii (10769961)

I walk about 12000 steps a day, and that comes down to about 600~650 active calories according to the Apple Watch.

We already have the best rodeo centric TV show with Baskets though. How will you ever top that?

Well then, glad it was easy to fix.

Aiii (10745897)

Two weeks in on the OnePlus 6 and I'm still very much in love with this phone. It's not without flaws but no phone had ever been. And they're minor at that. I'm missing the wireless charging, but dash charging more than makes up for it. Not being waterproof is a bit of a shame. I'm missing the Apple Watch like crazy. Pocket mode is great since I have my hands in my pocket a lot, but it buzzes every time it activates, which is annoying. Finally, the ambient auto display is crap. It makes the screen too dark and kicks in easy too late, it's unusable. But the speed, the look, the amazing screen, the great mods they did to stock Android. All just pretty much as close to perfection you can get. Amazing work by OnePlus on this one.

Aiii (10728857)

Aiii (10707492)

Please continue here .

Aiii (10706829)

This would hold more weight if there had been more crowd working. But it literally only took the word "mosque" and they had the exact reaction they needed. They were obviously expecting to have to do a bit more to get them really going, adding in the Photoshop with the Arabic signs and the part with the Clinton Foundation. But they didn't have to go there at all, all it took in the end was saying the word mosque. I don't think anyone didn't know that the segments were pre-planned though. Unless you were very unfamiliar with Ali G or the movies Cohen did.

Aiii (10698826)

Aiii (10694337)

Aiii (10699153)

Didn't even hesitate before loudly screaming the n-word in front of a video camera. Not one single second. That says pretty much all you need to know.

Aiii (10699048)

You could tell how comfortable they were about it, too. Like it wasn't even a thing they were worried about saying aloud around their neighbors.

Aiii (10690761)

There is no actual news here, and we would rather not have threads for gossip about the mental health of others.

Aiii (10689746)

Ik ben echt zo blij dat het RIVM bestaat. Waar zouden we zijn als ons dit niet verteld werd?

Aiii (10691566)

While I get your point. I think they were pretty much forced to do security patches with how much of a fuzz there was around that and Android manufacturers not delivering on those. I wouldn't be holding my breath for big .1 updates at this point though.

Aiii (10691671)

This should have been episode 1. Much stronger (outside of the NRA bit from episode 1). Duping the guy into yelling the n-word at the top of his lungs was something else entirely. But the Mosque bit was especially stunning in that he literally only had to say the word "mosque" for the racists to go haywire on him. He was yelling so much dumb shit. Hong Kong (not China, but at least debatable), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Sushi (yep), and indeed "konnichiwa".

Aiii (10671626)

So? Get it replaced.

Aiii (637969)

Please don't quote other posts just to go "nah." Either make a counter-argument, or don't respond to it at all. Thank you.

Aiii (638350)

Which is why there was no warning or bold red letters, just a simple request.

Aiii (9485149)

Ain't that the truth. The new subjects seem very interesting. The previous story had been told, so I'm glad they moved on to a new University, trailer looks great.

Aiii (10605608)

It is not a scratch if you can't see it under normal use.

Aiii (10589716)

Lots of remaster, remakes, or multi-platform titles that also release on the older gen hardware. That's what we got for the PS4/Xbox One launch, and with the current trends of everything having roughly the same (PC-like) architecture, there's no reason to expect a major shift in strategy for the next generation of hardware. It makes sense to not release exclusively for the low userbase of new-gen hardware exclusively, from a publisher perspective, when the efforts to release on old- and new-gen hardware is relatively manageable.

Aiii (10589879)

I mean, it's not the worst controller in the world. The sticks and buttons are fine, it's bulky, but that's about it. I have the older model though.

Aiii (10562682)

That's not why. It's because One Piece is a big deal and generates enough talk to justify its own thread. Just like many other IP's have their own OT's while there's an overarching OT for the genre or subculture they belong too. Nobody in the Apple OT is complaining when people talk about the iPhone X while there's a dedicated OT for that. Nobody is splitting communities because they dislike aspects of it or dislike interacting with others that do enjoy it.

Aiii (10549472)

So anyone know exactly what the camera updates were that are in this update?

Aiii (10553103)

I actually removed the OP6's pre-installed screen-protector because it fucked up being able to properly user gestures. So that's another thing that makes screen-protectors increasingly unmanageable.

Aiii (10551013)

Heh, I'm sure all the rights holders would be totally on board :D

Aiii (7530550)

I barely use Infuse at all myself, I have a Plex server that I use.

Aiii (7530195)

Alternatively, download a video player like VLC or Infuse and just transfer whatever format you want to view.

Aiii (7530493)

You can do that with the built-in file browser in iOS 11, just access it on whatever cloud service you use and then open in whatever app associates with that file.

Aiii (10548979)

I was looking at a Galaxy Wear S3 Frontier last Saturday. It is by far the best looking Android wearable, and Tizen definitely navigated better than Android Wear ever did, but Bixby instead of Google Assistant is just a deal breaker.

Aiii (10549116)

If everything gets too hot, it slows charging down to preserve the battery life.

Aiii (10533190)

I mean, Vudu is a iTunes or Google Movies competitor. Just another place to buy or "rent" movies and TV Shows. So that seems separate from making a Netflix competitor, I'd assume those deals won't transfer.

Aiii (10530442)

How could they possibly compete with global streaming and retail giants like Netflix and Amazon. Even just focussing on the US they would have a tough time with just those two, discounting Hulu and Disney. What will they stream, daytime soaps?

Aiii (10515450)

We actually had a similar thread to this yesterday, this seems like it would go well in there:

Praise the heavens for finally ending this drought. And then pretty much what I do when it is sunny. Take my daily walk (this time including an umbrella or hoodie) and spend the rest of the day on the couch with the cats.

Aiii (10493442)

I mean, there is these two cats called Laurel and Hardy.

Aiii (10492574)

If any TV exec or streaming giant wants to make a quick buck they would get these two in a sitcom on their Network asap.

Aiii (10493636)

Guy played Zordon in the Power Rangers reboot because he played a monster in the TV show a couple of times. If Aaron Paul was involved he would do it for a meal and a cup of coffee.

Aiii (10476173)

Aiii (10474951)

I'd suggest you read some of the responses in the thread first, I think the reasoning as to why you shouldn't be using "females" in a certain way has been pretty well explained by now.

Aiii (1745176)

I have to be honest, unless you have the perfect lighting set-up, this really doesn't do that much if its anything like the Hue + Ambilight set-up. I used that maybe twice. The idea of your house colors changing along with the TV is fine, but in practice you just don't notice it (discounting the delay since the lights don't hard switch, but fade from one color to the next), since you're not looking at anything but the TV. It might actually work better with a small TV, to be honest.

Aiii (10460266)

Whether it is malicious, a lack of English understanding, or a lack of education ultimately doesn't matter. The correct response to this thread would then be: Huh, I was mistakingly being offensive. I didn't realize. But now I know, thank you. As a non-native English speaker this happens sometimes. But I would rather be wrong and learn, than be wrong and mad for being told so.

Aiii (10460803)

Aiii (10454540)

It kind of reminds of hearing anti-trans people discuss how unnatural it is to use they as a pronoun. Which as you well know, is ridiculous since they is already a pronoun when referring to people whose gender you don't know (like when writing e-mails to someone you never met but with a unisex name). Though I would assume in this case it is less malicious.

Aiii (10446007)

Nobody can see your image from gmail, upload it somewhere, then repost it.

Aiii (10438985)

Seems like OP's question was answered. Thank you.

Aiii (5470616)

Aye, same one.

Aiii (5441246)

I so very much disagree with this, Riaru Onigokko is a great surrealistic horror film. There is a reason Sion Sono is such an iconic filmmaker. This maybe isn't his best work, but it is still pretty damn good.

Yep. It's The Soup alright. And it's glorious, glad to have it back.

Aiii (10396607)

I bought an Aukey 30000 Powerbank with USB-C PD. At this point charging isn't even an issue for anything anymore. Just hooking up whatever gadget needs power for a little while gives enough juice to last until the next outlet.

Aiii (5121050)

Hibana: Spark, Atelier, Good Morning Call, Re:Mind... All this for different reasons. I actually don't there's a drama on Netflix I haven't enjoyed yet.

Aiii (6986724)

Oh yay, time to renew that Amazon sub (or rather, after I'm done binging a whole lot of Terrace House).

Aiii (4655409)

Haruna Kawaguchi's latest drama launches via Amazon Prime on the 28th. I hope this releases on US Prime as well:

Aiii (2528063)

On another note. I'm actually kind of semi depressed that I finished Good Morning Call and won't have any more Nao in my life. That character is just so enjoyable, it was a bright spot in my day when I had time to watch an episode.

Aiii (3205054)

You could watch Tantei no Tantei (Detective vs Detectives). That is on Crunchyroll.

Aiii (3033287)

I figured this could be explained by

Aiii (4657910)

Figures. Be more like Netflix, Amazon.

Aiii (1759762)

Up to episode eight of the first season of Good Morning Call. This show is my jam. It's just perfect. Likeable MC, great supporting cast and just plain fun. Great stuff.

Aiii (2477290)

Started watching Aishite tatte, Himitsu wa Aru today. Haruna Kawaguchi stays winning.

Aiii (634634)

I have yet to watch it. My Netflix backlog is huge since they insist on releasing new shows every week now. I mean, we're getting on November 10th. And then on the 1st of December. It's madness.

Aiii (10347503)

SS is also incorrect. No Japanese person would come up to you and call you an "A" or an "E", they would actually just fully pronounce it. Terrible form OP.

Aiii (10347425)

That's fine, I can wait, as long as it's coming.

Aiii (10347236)

This reminds me, is Back getting another series?

Aiii (10347405)

They're great. Anyone that says Sanderson isn't on-par with the best fantasy writers is living in their own fantasy world.

Aiii (10347174)

What's more is that he combines this with going to conventions, teaching writing and doing shit like recording a podcast. It's like he's openly mocking everything GRRM does by shitting all over it.

It makes me so sad that we'll never see the conclusion. Makes me even more sad that I stopped caring about getting the answers to the questions in the OP about a year, maybe even two, ago. I was so passionate about these books and had GRRM actually finished the entire series it might even have been my favorite piece of literature ever. Certainly the best fantasy work. Oh well, Sanderson's Stormlight Archive would have given him a run for his money either way, but definitely takes that crown now if it remains of the quality of the first three books throughout.

Aiii (10303148)

Shenzen is pretty damn good at building these phones. The OnePlus 6 has been nothing but great. I love the tweaks they did to the UI, while keeping it nearly stock. Just tons of small tweaks that are all configurable to your liking. This definitely feels like a Nexus of old, great hardware for a relative low price with a great software experience.

You mean that other show that is a Netflix Original in the entire world bar the US? I do not see why you would assume this.

Small phones drive me crazy, because how hard it is to type on them. But more importantly, the bezel shrinking trend has made big screened phones significantly smaller. As well as the aspect ratio meaning most of the increase is in the height. For instance the Pixel 2: 145.7 x 69.7 x 7.8 mm (5.74 x 2.74 x 0.31 in) And the OnePlus 6: 155.7 x 75.4 x 7.75 mm (6.13 x 2.97 x 0.31 in) As you can see, the difference is very small, despite one being 5" versus 6.28"

There's not really much difference between local and cloud storage, as long as you can download and view offline, which you can. I use it all the time. I open up an OpenVPN config file on my browser, save it to my device, load it into my ASUS router. Or I download a torrent, open Deluge on my browser, open it in there. Stuff like that, all works as it would if it were "local" except it's in a tmp folder on my Dropbox.

Yeah, the only issue is that those 25 million aren't close to being the number of those folks, that would be closer to maybe ten thousand than a million, let alone 25.

My launch Joy-Con still work fine, as does my launch Pro Controller. That said, they've been back-ups for a while now, since I got the Splatoon Joy-Con when those came out, and the Xenoblade Pro Controller in January.

Aiii (7630420)

Personally, no I don't like to read on such a small screen. I've been reading on iPad's since the first one came out and I don't think I could go any smaller than a 8" tablet for reading. Is it doable if no other option exists, sure. But it will never be preferable imo. But that's very much a personal question. Some people think phablets (and the X's screen definitely falls in that category even though the form factor does not) are a tablet replacement, but I personally don't.

Aiii (7796631)

Nope.

Aiii (7793054)

Good thing that this was mentioned in the patch notes... ...oh.

Aiii (7624480)

I see no such delay on mine.

Aiii (7629529)

Yes, yes it is. I had to go to an old 6S for a week when I had to get the screen repaired and just the difference in quality of the screen makes it so worth it.

Aiii (5062206)

So I'm done waiting for Inbox to update. I guess Google will drop support for it entirely pretty soon. I wish they stopped releasing and dropping services as much as they do, it's incredibly frustrating. I'm moving on to Spark, which does exactly the same luckily, but is actually supported and has fullscreen on iPhone X.

Aiii (4872669)

Gets even better after a few weeks. At the start it wouldn't recognize me if I blocked my mouth (which happens a lot as I have a severe dust allergy and I often have a handkerchief pressed up to my nose), and now it unlocked fine. Same with wearing a cap and hoodie over it when I'm outside in the rain or cold. The only thing that's a drawback is that it's a bit too slow compared to touch id, but I'm sure they'll fix that in a generation of maybe two. Hopefully the next iOS will allow you to go to the home screen without swiping up.

Aiii (3933326)

I purposely bought an X as to get to on the right 2 year cycle. I bought a 7 Plus for that exact reason after my 6 (and the bigger screen was a factor, too), only to get burned. But yeah, I'm hoping this time I'm on the right cycle and not the "S" cycle.

Aiii (4029119)

I have no issues with unlocking with my hoodie (and over-ear headphones) on. At the beginning, it wouldn't unlock if I had my hand in front of my mouth, which I have a lot because I have a severe dust allergy and often have a handkerchief pressed up to my nose. However, it now unlocks when I do that as well, so it got used to seeing that. In the car I have my phone mounted and I do have to look at the screen (because of attention requirement being turned on), but other then that it unlocks just fine there.

Aiii (3605793)

I have my wireless pad on my desk at work, it's the best. Come in in the morning, chuck it down and it's charged back up. I don't even really think about needing to charge my phone anymore. Shame it took so long for Apple to adopt it, but I'm glad it's here.

Aiii (3133008)

Yeah I don't think that's on Crunchyroll. They use a custom player (I assume because of their sub needs) and the home bar is not under their control.

Aiii (2807078)

Not that strange, you likely just had an app running in the background that wasn't turning off. Perhaps something using location services?

Aiii (2688575)

I caved and bought a leather case (project Red) at the local Apple Store today. Cons: it's a damn case and my phone is fat and hidden now. Pros: it is pretty, feels nice, my phone doesn't rock due to that dumb camera bump and it is no longer slipping out of my coat pocket all the time. I generally hate cases, but this one is quite alright.

Aiii (2666326)

When I replaced my Series 0 with a Series 3 I had both of them paired for a while so I could keep updating and eventually factory reset the old Watch when I sold it.

Aiii (2665818)

Sounds about right to me. Four hours of SoT at 100% brightness while constantly streaming big heaps of data. After all, a 4.6" screen-sized phone isn't going to be packing a big battery.

Aiii (2659771)

Yeah. Your phone manufacturer knows this. Which means the 0% you drain it to when it shuts down is not actually a 0% charge. The only way to do that is to let it drain empty naturally over (a very long) time after it shuts down.

Aiii (2623620)

I would love to see a picture of these scratches btw, because mine is pretty flawless and I would love to know what to look out for. Also, tanking stock looks like this now... Turns out I have been doing graphs wrong for my entire life.

Aiii (2623402)

This is not a "one or the other" situation. It can both sell well and not sell as well as the analist's expected simultaneously.

Aiii (2628827)

Seriously, post a pic, I am legit surprised at your experience of scratches, mine is pristine.

Aiii (2564754)

So you think they would have opted for face id instead of a smaller notch like the Essential Phone if they had been guaranteed too have a working touch id solution instead? I doubt that. I also don't want to misrepresent my feeling. Again, I'm sure they all get inspired by old ideas. Multitasking has been around since the 80s, after all. But I think pointing at one OS and device and thinking everything was derived from that is a gross simplification of the design process. That said, I wish Apple would finally get inspired by Android's Notification System.

Aiii (2564277)

I'm sure they had a long look at this old Palm device when thinking about such brilliant gestures as and I was especially impressed with myself. I'll be be honest, I'm sure all these os's help each other, but most of the functionality is tech dependant and nothing else. We got face id simply because they couldn't get their touch id under the screen working in time. We got gestures because, again, no button. It has little to do with being inspired imo, and everything to do with what tech happened to (not) be available.

Aiii (2496899)

That depends. If you have turned off, this wouldn't even be the case. But otherwise, just get mommies attention for a split second would be enough. You don't even need to keep the phone in place for a long time. It would be hard, but you could pull it off, I think.

Aiii (2496218)

Sounds like a security measure to ensure kids can't secretly scan your face and make a purchase, so probably not as horrible. I do not use this feature, so I couldn't comment on the trouble of having to type your password every once in a while, but it doesn't seem that horrible to me.

Aiii (2444893)

Yeah, I'm not sure this is ever going to change, is just too easy to press those buttons if you happen to pick it up at the top

Aiii (2388248)

I'm already sweeping up by the time the screen turns on so I instantly log in, haven't noticed anything being slower.

Aiii (2339387)

All OLED's have this. But to be honest it's not really that bad on the X, especially with True Tone enabled.

Aiii (2338754)

Certainly odd, it doesn't come out of the factory without at least a half charge. Maybe a demo or returned phone?

Aiii (2338517)

Hold it for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Aiii (2299582)

There are two main standards right now. HDR10 (HDR) and Dolby Vision. The latter requires manufacturers to pay for a license, so that's why there's a fight going on. Vision is the better standard though, technically.

Aiii (2299329)

Mad Max Fury Road looks great in HDR.

Aiii (2121801)

For one, who was feeding you these lies? For another, don't believe every complaint on the internet. Complaints get amplified, since nobody is going to go on the internet to tell you how well this new OS is running on their iPad. Now go install on iOS 11 on your iPad Pro, because how did you not look at that feature list and install it day one? ;)

Aiii (2177365)

I mean. It is technically possible. Just like it is technically possible, however unlikely, that someone might be able to unlock your phone with their fingerprint if they match on enough points.

Aiii (2129498)

It literally says in the settings: "TrueDepth camera will check for attention before dimming the display or lowering the volume for alerts" under the Attention-Aware Features toggle, though. So I guess it does both.

Aiii (2126967)

Actually, it checks before it dims, not on intervals. You tap it to undim.

Aiii (2266515)

Second this, best gift you can give yourself.

Aiii (1966913)

Not HDR, but Yeah, it is a 22GB 4K capture HEVC file. Plays flawlessly.

Aiii (1986244)

The HDR version just crashes the entire phone, but there's no mention of HDR support anywhere, so I very much doubt it even supports this.

Aiii (1986764)

Google Inbox isn't either, it's a bit of a shame. Sheets, Keep, Maps, etc. are updated though, so I suppose it won't be too much longer.

Aiii (2051025)

Maybe your charger turns itself off after a few hours?

Aiii (2081244)

I just can't get over how gorgeous this Samsung display is. I've had quite a few amoled phones and even tablets in my time, but this one trumps all of them. Especially in combination with Apple's truetone. It's just so good to look at, no matter what you do on it. The edge to edge only enhances the experience, of course.

Aiii (1959725)

Thanks for the heads up, just put Your Name. in 4K on it, now the iPhone X is perfect. Also treated myself to a wireless charger to use at work for convenience.

Aiii (1824526)

This is unnecessary.

Aiii (1874297)

These gestures are incredibly simple to get used to. The fact that there's no home button at all just helps with the adjustment process, you're not even tempted to use them. I was expecting an adjustment period, but i've been using it pretty much flawlessly since I got it. I'm impressed.

Aiii (1824434)

Nah, I think Snapchat in general isn't that great in quality.

Aiii (1822935)

Thing is, I use the actual dark mode, and it inverts it into light mode with green tints.

Aiii (1822332)

My iPhone X is supposed to be here in a few hours, getting pretty excited. Is there a way to do this that doesn't invert websites in Safari?

Aiii (779013)

I think if you whitelist Resetera itself it should be fine. I did have to force close Safari and restart it before it actually loaded, but I can load the Animoji Tweets on the previous page just fine now.

Aiii (10022136)

I mean, who else would you market compact disks to? Also, this is a pretty decent album. Fuck.

Aiii (10169204)

I once accidentally ate molded bread and I lived. You'll be fine unless you were already seriously ill before.

Aiii (10167616)

We certainly have come a long way from this:

Aiii (10168107)

I got all 8 Harry Potter movies in 4K HDR for 30 bucks last December, for instance.

Aiii (10166078)

Not really that much tbh. Yes, of course soc's get better every year, but not to any significant extent. They are still slow and cheap chips that don't come close to the Apple TV or the Shield TV for instance. Again, you can get by perfectly fine with a new, still supported, TV and be fine for a few years. After that, you would still need to be looking at a media box either way.

Aiii (10165747)

The soc in your TV is shit. The support in your TV is, or will be within two years, utter shit. Normal people have a TV for a decade or more before they replace it. The Apple TV gets regular updates on both the firmware side, features (like Dolby Atmos) will be added, and most importantly the streaming apps will be regularly updated and new streaming services will be added through the app store as they arise. In two to four years, when the TV is no longer supported and updated, you will not replace it. When the Apple TV is no longer supported, you can replace it for a relative low amount. So yes, the Apple TV is better. No it will not stream in better HDR, but it is better in every way that matters. Whether that is worth the 200 to you or not, is up to you.

Cheri has got to be one of the worst people I've ever had the displeasure of having to watch. She's absolutely insufferable. How do you get to be that self-absorbed? And seriously, who does the whole "silent treatment" thing at 25? Grow the fuck up. There are plenty of bad people and housemates in Aloha State, and in comes Cheri to top it all off, this is really the darkest timeline of Terrace House. On the upside, this is the first time I was on Taishi's side since he came into the house.

Aiii (7489330)

Yeah, I mean she just doesn't give a shit about anyone. She dates three guys, is forced into being honest with them (if Eric wasn't someone the other members knew, she would NOT have told him about the other guys), but still ghosts Eric after sleeping with him. So okay, not judging, you weren't committed, it's inconsiderate, but whatever. And then they hit you with that whole shit in the final three episodes. What's worse about that whole situation, and what really shows the big problem with the Aloha State members to begin with, is that nobody fucking says anything outside of Taishi. Cheri is being shit, they saw how badly it affected Mariko, and they let Taishi handle it all on his own. Wez especially, his attitude of disinterest in general was horrible, but in this situation... Speak the fuck up, dude. I get more worked up about this than anyone on that cast and I'm just a viewer of the show, wtf.

Aiii (7663949)

Should be there sometime next month.

Aiii (7489489)

Yuudai was immature and pampered. But he wasn't nearly as devoid of empathy as Cheri. Chopstick crying was weird, but he was at least effected by the others confronting him about it. All he needs is to grow up a bit.

Aiii (6711960)

Hayato and Rikopin is just so creepy. He even uses the "age is nothing but a number" line in earnest.

Aiii (6539482)

Aiii (6106455)

Maybe keep that to the Discord or PM's if you want to help someone. Much like the Anime and Manga threads it is probably best to be on the side of caution and not get into the specifics of the where and how people get to watching their stuff.

Aiii (6059896)

Aiii (6373010)

Aiii (6065583)

I just click Skip Intro tbh, give me that Yuudai drama now.

Aiii (6160076)

I mean, she was spelling it out for him from the first time he asked her to go on this date that she didn't want to go. She was obviously too timid to deny him, but fine. Then he picks a date location she doesn't know, and asks her to drive because he can't. Even though he knows she is insecure about driving a strange car. Not only that, but he picks a location an hour away as you said. Of course she's gonna be annoyed from the start. So a while into driving they stop for a bite to eat and she brings up the topic of not wanting to go. She wants to let him down easy so she does it by asking him on a scale of how much he wants to go there, and she tells him she's at a one. She doesn't want to go there. And instead of asking her if she wants to go something else, he forces them to go on. She was giving him all the chances. He could have asked her where she wanted to go, instead. They could have went to a movie, or a mall, or an amusement park. Literally anywhere. There was just no initiative from Yuudai at all, which is par for the course for him, but come on man -read the room.

Aiii (6047394)

No, but assuming around the end of May, since there's four more episodes to air in Japan during the next month, and it took a month between ep8 in Japan airing and Part 1 releasing globally.

Aiii (6008009)

I turned on Yuudai after the outlet trip. I so related to Mizuki's outburst. At that point he went from "immature kid that never had to take care of himself" to "spoiled brat that doesn't want to take responsibility in life."

Aiii (6007533)

Yuudai should be so happy he has Taka and to an extend Shion to defend him to the others, because the girls would have ripped him apart otherwise. At least he can smell onions like nobody's business.

Aiii (9775299)
