My pixel 8 throttles as soon as I'm not using WiFi if it's warmer than 21°C outside... It hasn't shown me any warning but it has randomly shut down before.

I'm starting to really dislike android. A lot. Material you isn't picked up by anyone but Google and a few apps here and there.

Stock android is a joke, it barely works.

Pixel flavor android has been the same for three years only adding ai nonsense to the latest releases.

My pixel 8 has awful battery life and gets super hot on light use like, listening to music over Bluetooth.

How the fuck did we end up here. I want a redesign. I want a consistent redesign that doesn't age as badly and quickly as any android design has. Everyone in the design community keeps glorifying material design over iOS but honestly iOS has aged way better than even the newest design of material you...

Yeah definitely I remember being totally fine watching YouTube videos on my phone speakers on my Nexus 6 and even my OnePlus 5t in the morning before school, but I have a hard time doing anything but tiktok on speakers nowadays, my p6 and my pixel 8 sound completely garbage...

Alright, perfect! The charging pad is also most convenient

I am fine with the battery needing replacement in general, I want to prevent it from getting warm often, so that it doesn't bloat again when it's put of warranty like my P6 did...

But it still quick charges and gets pretty warm until it reaches 80% and then continues an hour before the alarm :/

Same... It should really be a default or a regulation... It also annoys me how flawed the fair phones are as devices...

 

After 2 years and 3 months my pixel 6 got too hot one too many times while charging and using and the battery expanded. Now I replaced it and got a pixel 8.

Now I don't want that to happen again. I know this chip gets hot when charging. And I don't mind slow charging at all, I'm used to overnight charging.

With my current setup I got a 20w cable charger and a 10w wireless one, and I want to know how to get even slower, less heating charging rates. What adapter brand is reputable, and is the slowest, battery friendliest that's still reasonable for use... If this phone also just lasts me 2 years instead of the 5 that I'm gonna get os updates I'm gonna be mad... I'm okay with a battery replacement in general after a while but that isn't really doable if the entire case is bent like it is on my P6...

Oh god that's so stupid...

The whole point of the weird Barbie is that it's being badly treated by kids, and was once a normal Barbie... Why do they now sell what we all did to our barbies at some point as a brand new one

Having read the book more recently than watched the movie, but isn't this very obvious?

The electric animals are reduced to a reference in the movie while they are a really important part of the novels world building and the different characters motivation for a higher status...

Having now read the article too I gotta say it's a really weird take to say the usage of blade runner for the movie and the job deckard does is inherently better is a weird take. They are my least favourite additions from the movie actually.

The name might be easier to market but the job now being percieved as detached from the police department harms the story in my opinion.

They've shown up for me to later which made me uninstall sync and go back to jerboa

I keep forgetting boomer is an age group, it being the one my parents belong to...

To me, boomer is more of a mindset that ranges a lot. I know quite a few ppl my age with said mindset.

If I upset you by using this term in this negative manner I am sorry.

I`ve heard those system wide ad blockers got people blocked on other apps that have ads like tiktok or instagram... while I try not to use them as often and switch to fediverse platforms over time, 99% of my social interactions sadly happen on those corperate owned platforms still

 

I get the reason for there being Ads in the sync app. I don't have the funds to pay for ultra and that's also fine.

But what I find concerning is the type of ads I see. I live in Germany for clarification and most of what I see are websites acting like news sites (right leaning at times). When I accidentally tap on them my browser immediately blocks the website for unsafe practices on their end.

Now I really don't mind the ads in apps if it's the usual app ad, random products or Amazon type of things. But I hate it when every ad is a boomer ass clickbait ad about how solar energy is definitely worse than anything else.

This is my main complaint about sync right now and it might push me to stop using it again as the ads are also very frequent...
