There are new AAA games on Android? I know there are a bunch of upcomming "PC emulator" Apps but that shouldn't count.

aluminium ,

So its easier now to unlock these rare prize cars now? That might pull me back in.

I have phone for every Snapdragon 800 Series until the 865, Every Kirin from the 930 to the 980 and all the 64 bit flagship Exynos until the S10 (9820) so could definitly provide some of these numbers in the next couple of days.

Also do you get any meaningful difference in the browser engine family? Like between Chromium, Brave and Vivaldi for example?

aluminium ,

I mean EDL mode and BROM mode still exist...

aluminium ,

That is awfully expansive for a 7sGen2. Really this is the new 600 Series.

aluminium ,

No, I rather have a smarter phone without all the current day B.S.

Typical issue of the corportate programming world being a hivemind. Just because many big tech companies use it you can't blindly implement it for your 5 developer team.

And it for sure has its usecases - like if you run something with constant load swings that does n't need to be 100 percent accurate like Youtube it makes sense. You can have a service for searches, comments, transcoding, recommendations, ... which all scale independently trading in some accuracy. Like when you post a comment another person doesn't need to see it within 1 second on another comment service instance.

aluminium ,

You close Tango the developers behind your only recent good game, but keep 343 open. Ok Phil.

Xbox is a reverse midas. Everything they touch turns into shit.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

aluminium ,

I really don't care what others eat but a lot just of vegans, especially the ones who take it super serious, I had to deal with have just a aura of passive agressive judgmental smugness. Vegetarians not at all from my experience.

Are you aware of the Galaxy Xcover Series of phones? They often offer both.

aluminium ,

No not really. The active series were S line phones repackaged into a more rugged shell. With the same high end cameras and specs. The Xcover line always were mid to low end devices.

aluminium ,

Its a lost cause, the new A line even in isolation was never "clean". With the 4G and 5G Versions often having very different specs and outlier phones like the A52s being better in every metric to both the A72 and A53. Not to mention that the A0 phones are always a mess with the Core, E and S variants.

aluminium ,

Its on by default but you can turn it off. I did so because it takes a good chunk of battery life away when your phone out of the blue decides to start updating apps.

Is this even a joke? In Spring DI beans are nothing but glorified over complicated global variables.

Also this fits in here perfectly https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k0qmkQGqpM8

aluminium ,

Really? From my experience the opposite is the case. I work on a smallish team with 3 other developers and we also have a few spring services with < 100 classes and we constantly run into issues where making changes to a bean causes issues in another unrelated part of the codebase. I can't imagine what a nightmare it would be with a larger codebase and more devs working on it.

aluminium ,

MiUi for sure

aluminium ,

yeah, also the constant wait times when you install APK... it used to be a decent OS but starting with MiUi 11 they started really enshitifiying big time.

Is Android increasingly inconsistent?

I feel like I'm encountering weird little tics and problems with my android devices, and those of family and friends. Just simple things where settings don't seem to be consistently applied, or the os switches something back repeatedly. For example, my apps are set to auto update, to use data as well as WiFi, etc, but every...

aluminium ,

Yeah with permissions there is this stupid feature in Android and Google Play protect that keeps revoking permissions if you don't use an App for some time.

Also they are still constantly trying new ways to "figure out" what Apps should run in the background instead of giving the user any controll. I.m.o. there should just be a "Allow up to run background" permission you can turn on and off and which logs exactly when a app was running the background.

aluminium ,

Not only the Playstore, same is true for the iOS Appstore as well. You only get served subscription begging crap there.

I mean thats one of the big points of python and why you wanna use it in the first place.

I personally don't main python but to me this all seems like a effort to retrofit the language for use in large enterprise and web applications, something for which it honestly never should have been used this heavily in the first place. I guess the state of the world 10 years ago let to it, with .NET not officially being multiplat, Java being Java and Rust, Kotlin and Go being in their infancy.

To me Python always was a cool language to write small scripts to automate certain things. Something a single developer writes with < 10K LoC. Where than you can achieve the same thing with way less code and less hastle like setting up a seperate build tool

If your gonna go heavy on typing and error handling but don't want the complexity of a compiled language just use a .NET or JVM lang, honestly. They are fundamentally built around strong typing and use that information for much better performance and developer experience.

Or if you just want THE most flexible typesystem where you can specify types as broad or specific as possible typescript takes the cake.

aluminium ,

No shit. And get this - The iPhone 7 did have enough space for a headphone jack.
