It's wild that companies essentially destroyed the practice of overclocking.

oh wow. Can it even be wheeled forwards and backwards? I feel like the axles might give out...

If you have any leftover food storage containers, they're perfect for putting parts in! And if there are multiple bags for each stage, you can split them up as well.

Mine is usually 100% chocolate, 0% nuts, 0% fruit. Oops

I sold my Pixel 6 pro to get a Samsung S23. Unfortunately the main issues I had with the pixel were hardware-related and recurring, and while samsung isn't ideal, most of their issues could be solved with a one-time fix.

Main issues I had with the Pixel:

  • Fingerprint sensor doesn't work with privacy screens. Period. It's not a question of buying cheap privacy screens, the Pixel fingerprint reader is optical and is just not compatible with privacy screens. Samsung uses an ultrasonic reader which is compatible with privacy screens.
  • The 6 Pro was unwieldy and ridiculously large, the smaller 6 doesn't have the triple camera setup. Samsung is one of the few that doesn't sacrifice phototaking ability in a smaller form factor.
  • That godawful new quick toggles UI is horrible. The quick toggles are ridiculously large, and who decided it would be a good idea to merge the wifi and internet toggles?! I managed to use adb commands to split the toggles in 12, but that broke with 13.

Issues I had with the Samsung:

  • Bloat - this was mainly in the form of some preinstalled software, but unlike in the early days of Samsung, I could uninstall most of the bloat easily without resorting to root, adb, etc. No bloat (pixel) is still better than bloat that can be uninstalled (samsung), but this problem was permanently solved after about 10 minutes.
  • Some Samsung native apps have horrible permission settings - eg Samsung Pay requires access to your contacts, and if you deny it any one permission, the app just force closes. I got around this by uninstalling the offending apps and using alternatives (e.g. google pay) - again, a one-time issue. fuck the intrusive permissions.

some people want more storage space maybe? not OP, just guessing.

[META] 7k subscribers - Call for Mods (self.maliciouscompliance)

So in just one week, we’ve grown to >7k subscribers (~5.3k on lemmy.world and ~1.2k from the next 5 largest instances), which is way more than I expected.

I've been modding this community alone, and it's been fine - we haven't had many issues so far - but I should start looking for mods before any issues arise.

If you have an interest in modding, please message me or comment below, and I'll reach out to you!

EDIT: thanks everyone who responded, I've got enough responses now!

 

Hey sorry if this isn't the right place to do this, but for whoever runs this instance - you're probably being flooded with spam accounts, your userbase has gone from... I think 3000-5000ish to 12,000 in the last 12 hours.

 

The key allows you to access the control panel that starts the cycle. Free laundry!

Hey I don't run any instance so I'm not sure what's the best way to alert all instance admins - but there seems to be a massive wave of signups over the last few days, most likely by bots. I think some of the bigger instances know this and have mitigated it (my instance enabled captcha and email verification), but as a result, smaller instances like startrek.website and waveform.social are getting hammered. They've gone from 2000-4000ish users to >10,000 overnight. If this isn't fixed, it will probably be a big problem when these bot accounts are activated. It would suck if you run a smaller instance and had to defederate yourself because of thousands of spam bots.
