iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air (9to5mac.com)

On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

Whoever can afford this can already afford the laptop alternatives. My guess is that this will be a convenient “nice to have” item whenever bringing along a tablet over a laptop feels like less of a hassle.

evident5051 ,

You can consider getting the Qin F22 Pro.

evident5051 ,

I wanted to use this but it made my DT2W and lift to wake completely useless. It’s a pity because these are the only two issues I had with it.

evident5051 ,

Getting genuine or similar peforming replacement batteries for cheap is sort of a gamble.

evident5051 ,

By that logic, all websites are not blocked in China.

Android users who have a keen eye for design and detail, how is the whole stutter/lag situation? Esp. after a few years of use?

I haven’t used an Android device since my last one, the Galaxy S8. Beautiful hardware, beautiful design, but it was plagued with animation stutters and dropped frames. I switched to an iPhone and an iPad around 6 years ago. And the animations were buttersmooth. It was almost unthinkable to achieve such a fluid interface on any...

I’ve literally tried every single fix like toggling settings, installing and playing around with custom kernels or trying out root apps, and I’ve never been able to reduce the aggressiveness of MIUI’s RAM management.

That issue persisted even on my flagship-equivalent end MIUI devices. It only seems to disappear after installing AOSP-based custom ROMs.

evident5051 ,

That is not a lock in though? It’s just personal preference to avoid paying double for apps.

evident5051 ,

Erm, that’s not the same thing that the comment was referring to. We’re talking about paying twice for essentially the same app on two different operating systems.

That’s different from the lock in that you are referring to. Your explanation involves installing the same purchased app on two devices running Android.

Also, I have a lot of apps and games that only require me to make a one time purchase on either Android or iOS.

evident5051 ,

I’ve literally never heard of Keen until this article.

evident5051 ,

Did you even read the article?

evident5051 , (edited )

…because the standard specification, which both Google and Apple intend to implement, has yet to be finalised.

evident5051 ,

The current method for sideloading apps without a developer account seems to be limited to three separate apps at a time.

evident5051 ,

The inability to use it on two different phones kills it for me.

evident5051 ,

Is there a guide to this? I still can’t use a different phone as a linked device, only on desktop or iPads.

evident5051 ,

I don’t think that’s Signal haha

evident5051 ,

I mean, a lot of people use Messenger to contact other people, so I guess they do?

evident5051 ,

There’s a reason why it’s frequently referred to a fine city!

However, I’ll have to say I have been living there for a few decades and have never received a fine, ever.

evident5051 ,

This is my biggest objection. That’s like when all the good drinking happens.

I guess that’s the issue with the lack of information in these copied and pasted laws.

That law only applies to drinking in public. You can simply go to a bar and drink all you want.

It was implemented after the Little India riot incident in 2013.

If you’re caught drinking in public, you’re probably going to just get a warning and receive instructions to dispose of the alcohol. But things would be a lot different if you refuse to do so.

evident5051 ,

Does getting my ass whooped by my mother count?

evident5051 ,

I assume that you are talking about connectivity issues?

On a side note, I used an international base S22 and had terrible battery life when I was in the US. However, that’s likely due to the chip’s inefficiencies rather the connectivity issues. I had strong 4G/5G reception on T-Mobile.

evident5051 ,

We have a free subscription through our home fibre bundle.

evident5051 ,

The S23 is what the S22 should’ve been. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is a beast!

evident5051 ,

I like the dismissible notifications though.

evident5051 ,

Oh yes, having customisability for this would be the most ideal situation.

evident5051 ,

I’m confused, I just did a quick search and found one on Amazon that’s listed for about $14. Am I missing something here?

Charge it whenever you need to, but heat is the battery’s biggest enemy. A slow charger is ideal since it generates less heat.

If your phone is plugged most of the time, you can consider setting a charge limit if you don’t typically use more than what limit is supported.

evident5051 ,

There’s one that I really like called Sudokyuu. Unfortunately, it has been taken of the Play Store but the APK can be found online.

evident5051 ,

The messages app also supports forwarding text messages to other devices.

We can even ignore the other features of iMessage. This adds a layer of convenience to those who use both iOS and Android.

evident5051 , (edited )

Yes, but it works better for those whose main SIMs are on iPhones. I personally use BlueBubbles at the moment.

My Xiaomi doorbell button works the same way.

Can’t wait for Twitter (formerly X (formerly Twitter)) to come.

evident5051 ,

Are you really that dense, or are you deliberately missing out every other feature (excluding charging speeds) that Qi2 offers?

evident5051 , (edited )

Qi2 solves two of the biggest issues that many people dislike about - alignment and standardised compatibility.

Heck, even the alignment feature can be inferred from the title.

The main features that so called “idiots” or “fanbois” that are excited for very clearly flew over your head.

evident5051 ,

I use it to access my Syncthing folders.

evident5051 ,

I can open PDFs, images, text or audio files in the Files app natively.

If Google can update the user interface server-side, doesn’t that mean that disabling updates still wouldn’t work for avoiding these full screen ads?

I like big phones and I cannot lie (22000mah Tank) (www.unihertz.com)

Ok it’s 4G and Android 12, so a little bit behind the times, and weighs over a pound, but it has 65 watt fast charging and a built in 1200 lumen flashlight (I wonder if that doubles as a video light). I found out about it a few days ago and have been fascinated by it since then. The weight isn’t so bad if you consider that...

evident5051 ,

There is an updated one called the 8849 Tank 3 running Android 13. It has major upgrades like a 23,800mAh battery, Dimensity 8200, 16GB of RAM and 120Hz screen.

evident5051 ,

This disassembly video suggests that it’s using 4 batteries.

evident5051 ,

It’s also outdated information. They’re literally shipping out orders right now.

evident5051 ,

It’s targeted towards tablet users, but I still feel that there are way better and cheaper phone/tablet combos out there.

evident5051 ,

Nope, I was referring to having both a phone and an actual tablet-sized tablet.

evident5051 ,

Unless you want it to work in Korea?

evident5051 ,

Silly me was thinking of Apple’s Find My network instead of Android’s Find My Device network.

evident5051 ,

A used smart battery case is pretty good too.

evident5051 ,

The amusing thing is that iOS Shortcuts allows users to disable Wi-Fi.

evident5051 ,

Got mine from a friend for $150. It was so good despite its less than ideal battery life.
