They’re the baristas. Because at least they can make latte art while they scrounge for tips from the tip jar.

I see that rogue Google Play Music icon there. Makes me sad they killed it.

I’m realizing now that this would have been super useful when I worked in Loss Prevention way back when. Wish I had known…

How has that not been a feature from the beginning?

Google is so big that the right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing and they can’t even have a cohesive platform of features.

Oh that’s a really good point. Don’t trust the cops, keep everything encrypted.

Way safer in those situations.

Is this for your home? If it is, you don’t really have to worry about someone stealing your desktop. If someone breaks into your home, they’re looking for quick cash and jewelry and TVs. They’re not going to bother stealing your server to dig through files for something usable.

It’s a podcast. Most people listen to it while doing other things and don’t watch it in a single sitting.

If you don’t want to watch it, then don’t, but it really is a great podcast.

I don’t know, if you’re getting yourself in that kind of situation, you should know you’re going to be beforehand, so just get a satphone.

But I guess it’s better to have it and not need it.

Thanks. They knew they could use that sentence as the headline, but determined they wanted to go with the clickbait.

Well, I wish I had known about devdocs sooner. Thank you!

How do you learn programming on paper to be sufficiently effective when translating the skills to the computer?

I get that it’s the same stuff, but there are very useful tools and workflows, in addition to knowing what you’re doing wrong that you can’t learn on paper.

Or am I misinterpreting what you’re saying; that you just didn’t look for resources online to cut out distractions, but programmed like normal?

Never realized I’d share so much in common with it.

Pretty sure that was Abraham Lincoln

The power of the sun… In the palm of my hand

The BEST place by far is on the back. With the Pixel 2, I could have the phone unlocked before I even take it out of my pocket because I could place my finger in the exact right spot.

It also served as a shortcut to pull down the notification shade.

That’s a pretty unlikely scenario though. Someone would be better off just selling your phone at that point.

Because how is a thief going to get a perfect video of you to play to the camera?

Based on how full-in they’re going with Pixel and AI, it’ll most likely be a combination of #2 and #3.

They’ll abandon the current version for some other incompatible version, leaving everyone using the current version SOL.

Google can’t be trusted for long-term product and feature support.

What are you talking about? Apple should be lauded for at least having the phone tiers that they have. There’s choice for every type of buyer. The 15 pro vs pro max is 3x zoom and 5x zoom. That’s IT. You get the same features between each pro phone and get to choose the size that works for you.

Google has hamstrung the smaller phone with a worse screen, much worse camera system (video boost is locked to 8 Pro), no temperature sensor, slower wireless charging speeds, less RAM, gorilla glass Victus 1 vs 2, and an annoyingly glossy back glass.

I bought an 8 Pro for the camera system because I didn’t want to be locked out of the better ultra wide and telephoto, but I wish I could have gotten that in a smaller size.

Seriously. We can’t just let Apple off the hook for their anti-competitive walled garden.

Users should continue to demand that they support the more open standard.

Compressed as all hell, but I really like the dynamic range and color grading in those photos.

Those screen bezels are absolutely tiny.
