  • Only if the navigation system starts to talk to you about family in Vin Diesel's voice.

  • They also still seem to run user-testing on hiding these sections for 30 days. I had this option a few months ago, then it vanished and today it was back again. Maybe enough people are still actively hiding it so that YouTube still doesn't fully commit to shorts. Let's hope it stays that way, they are annoying and I couldn't care less about another Instagram cat video algorithm.

  • Man, the next season of Love Island is gonna be interesting...

  • Samsung made two different variants of the Galaxy S8 line - one with their own Exynos processors (the good one) and one with Qualcomm processors (the shitty ones).

    Only Exynos devices have LineageOS. I guess that's why they're not listed as officially supported.

    I currently run LOS 18.1 (based on Android 11) on my S8, it's available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-signature-spoofing-microg-support-ota-updates-lineageos-18-1-for-s8-s8-note8.4332029/

    The same developer also made newer releases already. It's rock-solid and everything works.

    For good camera support I recommend using IDans Gcam mod (Mod8.3b_IDan_v4.7_test2.apk). You can enable HDR and three different modes (Day, Night and Dark) as an overlay over the camera's live view and the photo quality is mostly as good as stock, if not even better. It's a bit buggy when trying to view the photos inside the camera app so I have to use the Gallery a lot, but that's just a minor nuisance.

  • This is why I install LineageOS on every new Android phone I buy. Currently rocking an S8. With the original software it's really hard to use since the RAM is filling up fast. With LineageOS it's still an awesome phone.

  • Funny that there will be new Futurama memes soon...

  • pretending that you need to use WhatsApp in 2023 is indeed a choice

    It's not as easy as you make it sound. Between 2015 and 2022, Whatsapp's marketshare has increased a lot in Germany. So it might've been comparatively easy to drop it 8 years ago. It's not anymore.

    Maybe I'd be able to convince a lot of my friends to install another app just for me. But it would be hard to do and involve a lot of arguing on my end. I'm not a missionary and I choose to spend my lifetime for other, more important things.

  • I live in Germany and everyone here uses WhatsApp. If you decide to uninstall it, you're cut off from 95% of your friends, family and your coworkers.

    It's not an option to not use it, sadly. From what I understand, it's like iMessage in the USA. Extreme monopoly and very hard to break out of it.

  • A good quality version of the "VR.5" tv series from 1995. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR.5

    It's a TV show about virtual reality and has peak 90's aesthetic. They shot the scenes in "virtual reality"on black and white film and colorized them manually afterwards to create a very distinct and vibrant look. That must've been so much hard work.

    Sadly, there is only a 240p VHS rip with extremely terrible quality out there. I've always wanted to watch the whole thing, but it's too degraded to enjoy like this.
