...and yet overall its done better than on Mac, because in full-screen apps or 3D games it doesn't start covering your view:-)

It's a bit slow for me, in my experience. Sometimes doesn't want to copy the image to the clipboard. Saving is also wonky. Really wish I just had sharex on Linux

I think my Ryzen 7500F takes a similar amount of time and it is, by no means, old nor underpowered.


>If the brand equity wasn't there, the Galaxy S would have out sold the iPhone 4, but it didn't, it sold half as much.

Which means just *one* of the Android flagships - which are a much, much more segmentated market! - sold half as much as the iOS competitor.


Adults do not waste their time arguing about the "superiority" of one platform - based on subjective choices - online.

Can't use my bank.

You're welcome! :D

...and then you look into what devices they are using and what they are ignoring that could have been resolved by tinkering.

My father-in-law has just had an issue where Xiaomi's camera app took up 95GB of space on his phone. Not the photos - just the camera app. Uninstalling updates for the app resolved the issue, all the space was magically back.


>What is it in your life which makes it 'impossible' to use free software, Google-free AOSP-derived Android distributions being part of this?

Play Integrity and Google's monopoly on providing "hardware attestation".


It's because the 8sg3 is a terribly botched chip, to the point where it requires comically overengineered cooling to function properly.

Yeah... and it's still a great cpu. What are consequences to the user? I failed to find a use case where it makes a sweat. It's insanely good price to value ratio.

Battery life and thermal performance.

Once again: are there any known problems that are not theoretical? I'm having 1,5 days+ with screen on time that I feel ashamed to admit, plus as I wrote before, never had it overheat despite gaming on external devices etc.
