Custom ROMs have had this design for a long time already. Interesting that Google also decided to use it. Here's a screenshot from my custom ROM on A14, just has different groupings.

notifications rule in c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

[–] theredhood@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

That's what's good about android, all apps need to ask if they can send notifications when first installed. I rarely allow it.

tested WiFi Direct against Quick Share and it's faster but I can't use it?! in c/android@lemdro.id

Yeah it would be nice if wifi direct was in the app itself, but it only uses the network you're connected to. So if you local send with one phone connected to the other via hotspot (just like wifi direct) then local send will send directly and be faster. When I tried with my laptop and phone it was about 30 MB/s.

Thanks now I'm using FUTO. Very nice design for a FOSS app.

GSMArena | Sony Xperia 10 VI review in c/android@lemdro.id

[–] theredhood@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, there's a bunch of comments I see how people can't ever go back to 60hz after trying 120hz even if it uses more battery. Then when someone says 60hz is fine and not that noticeable of a difference they assume something is wrong with their eyes...

Thanks for the heads up about the issues. I'll probably wait for 10.9.1 too.

Well I did notice it's been hotter lately

[General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it? in c/android@lemdro.id

[–] theredhood@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

I'm lucky to be in Asia since I can easily use redmi phones here (doesn't work well with USA carriers). 3.5mm is still really useful for me, but if there's no more options I'll probably get a 3.5mm to BT adapter.

I have a cheap no brand of this and while the camera quality is not as good as a phone, it's pretty convenient and faster for bulk scanning.

If you're talking about OSS scanner documents, you can add pages anytime.

It's a media center, you can play your local files or you can use add-ons like the official jellyfin addon and connect to any jellyfin server.

Convoy H1 519a 60 deg TIR (lutim.lagout.org)

Beamshots and Comparisons

I just got a Convoy H1 519a 4500k for about $20 as a first decent headlamp, it's really great for the price with a few weaknesses.

The H1 is easy on the eyes and the TIR is nice and covers a wide view. Compared to my S2+ which uses 519a at 4000k the difference is noticeable (see photos in link).

The UI is cool as it's the first ramping light I used, but it ramps a bit too fast. Compared to the S2+, the H1 has some advantages like shortcuts for strobe/turbo/moonlight/batt check, while on the S2+ I just disabled those since I didn't want them in the main rotation. The button also takes some getting used to since you hold down the button (not half-press) for secondary functions.

The body feels really nice and sturdy and not as heavy as expected when wearing it with a head strap. More compact than the S2+. I got a magnet from Convoy and glued it to the tail which was super easy to do, just a bit messy. After removing the excess glue with alcohol, it looks great. The head strap is pretty hard to put on since you have to force it into the rubber loops, but once it's on it's very secure.
