Re: I wish Google's Pixel 5 Tensor experiments had led to a Pixel 6 Mini

I don't mind the "massiveness" in size, what I do mind is the weight. Having used the 6 for a few days I'm shocked by how much of a difference 10g can make... If they come up with a lighter 6 I might whole-heartedly abandon my 2nd phone for it.

Re: Sony needs to work harder on bloatware

While we're on the subject, let's not forget (the admittedly still useful) File Commander and its increasingly annoying 'upgrade to premium' notifications and out of context full page/bar ads.

Re: The First Sony E-Mount Lenses You Should Buy

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll put extension tubes aside and wait a while before getting a legacy macro then.

Hello @amadou diallo. Nice updates! I want to get a wide and a macro, but as I can only afford one right now I'll probably go for the Rokinon wide.

For the macro, I'm thinking of getting an extension tube to go with the a6000's kit lens. Any thoughts on how that would work out? (I'm also considering going with a manual legacy lens + adapter, though cost-wise it comes close to buying a new AF lens anyway. Decisions, decisions...)

Now all that's left is to wait for them to implement this on tablets...

Re: Verizon Introduces New 'Simplified' Plans, Ends Phone Subsidies Completely

Thanks for the explanation- it makes sense now (though I should probably have read the source link before asking...).

Re: Verizon Introduces New 'Simplified' Plans, Ends Phone Subsidies Completely

Not from the US (i.e. limited understanding of how your telcos operate) so do correct me if my understanding of the following quote is mistaken:

"Then you add data to the plan, which can be shared across all your lines (up to 10)."

Does this mean that you can only share data with devices registered on Verizon's network? For example, would I no longer be able to share my phone's mobile data with my PC (hotspot function)?

I don't understand the different pricing for tablets and other devices either- data is still data regardless if a phone or tab is eating it, no...?

Sometimes when I check out some websites on Chrome (android) I get redirected to a page that says 'your device is infected, please wait while a virus cleaner is downloaded' or something along those lines. It doesn't happen while browsing on the PC. I have no idea whether it is the site that is infected, or my phone, but yeah, this is the most serious threat to mobile security (that I have faced so far).

How to put it more succinctly? ...gimme! :D

Well, thanks to android... These days when I'm lost, I'm really lost (I.e. No access to Google maps). No longer have to get a taxi to drive to my destination and follow from behind.

Oh bother. I can't think of anything substantial, so how about this?
For the monthly view, days with more events should be displayed darker, or... denser, than days with less events going on. No real need for such a feature but hey, I'd find it rather amusing. Days without events could even be near invisible...

Re: Reports Of Blue/Purple Haze On Some Kindle Fire HDX Screens Leave Users Feeling A Little Blue

aprilius20 — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 08:56:18 -0000

Same thing seems to be happening to the Xperia z1 (yellow tint), which I'm really just using as an excuse not to upgrade to it.

But whatever happened to QA? Are consumer electronics manufacturers firing the 'boring defect spotters' to cut costs, or is it a simple case of them having horrible lighting in their factories?

I read this after completing every step:
This giveaway is available to users in all the areas where the LTE Nexus 7 is currently available for sale through Google Play: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States.

...guess I need to get a new address first :/

Re: Focal Camera App Removed From CyanogenMod As Its Developer Xplodwild Leaves The Team - First Fallout From Incorporating

aprilius20 — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 07:15:40 -0000

Hmm. I tried Focal but didn't really like it- I'm more than happy enough with my default slow-to-boot Xperia cam and ported HTC One Play Ed cam.

Re: Xperia Z1 low-light snaps look great

aprilius20 — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:30:09 -0000

So tempting. But it's too soon to upgrade from the Z... guess I'll just wait for the March 2014 flagship. Back on point- wonder where these photos were taken. Singapore, maybe?

I'd like to go and trip Trip Hawkins as he goes for the stage- just a little payback for the Simcity fiasco.

Re: [Update: Winners!] International Mega Giveaway Redux: Win One Of Nine Nexus Devices From avast! And Android Police

aprilius20 — Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:02:35 -0000

Too much to say, really. Pretty much everything about the device itself- an Xperia Z. Tempted to ditch it for the Honami once it's released though, so I can't exactly pledge my eternal loyalty to the thing.
