I had a Galaxy S20 and the video recording was constantly choppy. I was very excited to get my Pixel 8 and the video is choppy. Am I just cursed or do these Android phones have a hard time with video?

Using shift + scroll wheel to horizontally scroll in a UI. Whenever I see my project manager going all the way to the bottom of the application and dragging the scrollbars to move horizontally it just kills me a bit inside haha.

🎵I want to beat dialysis

But one kidney’s not enough

Forget about the waitlist

And collect them just because 🎵

Kidneymon!

Transplant patient here! Started with my 2 and then got 2 more added in my mid 30s. Later they took 1 of the transplanted ones out because it was clotting.

Score so far:

• 2 original kidneys that have basically been so damaged that they provide no filtering.
• 1 working transplant that is doing all the work and being a champ!

Is there any launcher that works well with Pixel’s transition animations when using gesture mode? I haven’t tried for a few years because there would be weird animation glitches from things like switching apps or going back to the home screen.

Fun concept!

This is a great example of the rude way to use that phrase.

I have a Battle Tracks playlist of RPG battle music that really pumps me up!

“It’s my first rodeo.”

I think the point though is you might be able to connect a Garmin to your iPhone but only Apple Watches get special access to certain APIs because “security”.

This reminds me of KFC and how they switch from “Honey” to “Honey Sauce”.

I loved being able to open up Assistant to quickly summarize an article for me, but Gemini requires me to also attach the URL to its context and then type/say “Summarize” and then hit the submit button only to wait longer for the summary.

The only pro I can think about is that I can continue to ask for details about or related to the article.

I’m using it at work as well and Copilot has been pretty decent with writing out entire methods when I start with the jsdoc or code comments before writing the actual method. It’s now becoming my habit to have it generate some near-working code or decent boilerplate.

If you haven’t tried it yet, give this a shot!

I think you do need an account (which could be trials) because you have to use an ARL or your credentials to login to Deemix with.

I personally pay for a Deezer family plan and just use offline play mainly for my car.

From what I remember MP3DownloadNet uses the Deezer API to download MP3s and FLAC. I used to collect music with this site before it all the ads but it seems like it’s still working.

What quality are you getting from downloading from Spotify?

Personally, I use Deezer + Deemix to download FLAC for offline play and it’s great!

For me, I subscribe to Deezer (or you can do a trial) and run Deemix which is able to download the music in MP3 or FLAC. It directly downloads the music using Deezer’s API.

As far as organizing it goes, I typically just host it with Plex or a Subsonic player like Navidrome.

What’s funny for me is I have two gaming PCs and yet I play more games on the deck. It’s just easier for me to pop into games for an hour or so and suspend it when I’m done. So far I’ve beaten the Trails In The Sky trilogy (with each game taking me about 3-4 months to beat) and it’s been such a wonderful experience on the deck.

For downloading music in bulk, I personally subscribe to Deezer and then run Deemix in Docker which allows me to download offline audio in FLAC. I then serve those FLAC using Plex and Navidrome.

Wait… You can’t even do continuous heart rate monitoring and logging without a subscription. YIKES!
