  • I use this a lot to learn new music. Some of the music we have these days is very fast, and music speed changer helps me to slow it down without changing the pitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_zViMGxKdQ this is a song that I learned to sing using music speed changer by slowing down the track. There's a lot of yabba dabba dat dabba in this song, and it's rhythmic. At full speed I found it impossible.

    • Button navigation is objectively better than gesture navigation.

    Jump

  • The 3 button navigation is simpler, much faster than gestures and less prone to input errors than gessure navigation.

    I was constantly backing out of my app when all I wanted to do was turn a page. Therefore I went back to the three buttons. The gestures are nifty, but I was always running into problems with the gesture happening when I didn't want it to.

    My tech averse spouse finally wanted a smartphone and I knew he would not understand gestures as he is very literal. So there was a double bonus: the buttons are a lot better for him.

    • Google's making it easier to switch between your personal and work profiles

    Jump

  • When Google added an account switcher to its apps way back in 2019, they made it possible to switch between your Google accounts by swiping up or down on your avatar.

    Wow, look at that! I had no idea. It works!

    • Discussion: What Android devices are you using?

    Jump

  • Which Android devices are you currently using?

    I have a Google Home Mini, a Google Chromecast, and I'm on my 4th phone powered by Android ... two from HTC and two are Pixels.

    What do you love most about them?

    The Home Mini and the Chromecast actually don't do too much that is useful for me. They mainly are just there doing not much.

    The phones that I have chosen have been delightful. All Android phones are delightful, the cheap free phone that I got when I signed up for Visible (cell service) for my spouse was a piece of garbage. But that's the way that Android works: the developer/manufacturer can roll it to be whatever they want it to be.

    What do you dislike?

    I don't have anything to put here, but I'm looking forward to some of the responses.

  • Perhaps visceral reaction. Small/fast brain over large/slow brain.

    Or, perhaps, why is this an Android matter?

  • Is it impossible these days to un-Amazon a Fire tablet? I'd love to have a cheap tablet and someone suggested this was a way...

    • Who remembers the old Reddiquette song?

    Jump

  • How have I been on Reddit for 15+ years, totally aware of Reddiquette, and never saw that video? Thanks!

  • I didn't know that; THANKS for pointing it out.

    I had a paid Nova launcher but stopped using it when I went from HTC to Pixel 3 (now on 6a). But you caused me to check and see if I still had it dormant (and I don't).

    • Banks are leaving savers shortchanged as interest rates soar | CNN Business

  • This story makes a really good point, thanks for sharing it.

    The average APY in US banks is still 0.5% despite much higher interest rates and inflation. My credit union offers 3% for their premium (high balance) savings.
