  • May 2026's Pixel update is here to fix charging speeds and camera app freezes

    Jump

  • That was the initial thought, but the 6 and 7 series got consecutive updates earlier this year, and this month's update includes the 7a (but nothing earlier).

    I think it's just a case of limited resources. "These devices failed our monthly update testing, so let's hold the update until next month".

    I guess this is how Google has chosen to support older devices. Can't complain too much, since Google extended the support window when they didn't need to, but the missing security updates are a tad concerning.

  • Movie night is starting in minutes. We are watching Memento (2000) and Being John Malkovich (1999).

    Jump

  • Have you seen memento before? The 2nd and 3rd viewings are the best!

  • Germans face five years in jail for denying Israel’s right to exist

    Jump

  • Can't speak for Germany but in the United Kingdom it's Palestine Action that has been officially declared a terrorist organisation because they stormed an army base. That means it's illegal to protest for Palestine Action, but you can still protest in support of Palestine.

  • You write like an LLM dude. You use em dashes, you are overly verbose and you use common techniques like "it's not x, it's y" over and over.

    If you're not an LLM you're desperately trying to appear as one. I maintain that you're a bot and I'll happily mute your account now.

  • Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed

    Jump

  • Great news. Some people cry about government overreach but this is a good thing. It's insane that we still have entire industries around tobacco. Vapes aren't going anywhere for those after 2008 who want to smoke, and the lack of tobacco in their lungs will be a net plus for the NHS.

  • WhatsApp is now testing its subscription service, here's what you get and how much it costs

    Jump

  • Yeah you're responding to a bot whose instructions are to wax lyrically about OSS and anti-Google sentiment.

  • Where would you have the runoff go?

  • All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027

    Jump

  • I don't like the idea personally, because the replaceable battery version would be priced up, and likely not given the flagship experience. The point of this law is to prevent ewaste from 2 year old batteries performing badly, and standardising replaceable batteries is the way to stop that. OEMs would just find ways to convince users to buy the phones with no replaceable batteries because they make more money long-term that way. I don't trust corporations lol.

  • All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027

    Jump

  • Not sure, is the battery waterproof? If I drop my phone in a sink of water, and it's IP68 rated, would this mean I need to replace my battery immediately?

  • All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027

    Jump

  • I like the idea, and I suspect gaskets will be the solution they go with, with the back cover applying pressure to the gasket to create a seal. but the EU regulation specifically says that no expertise should be required and you should be able to do it with commercial, standard tools (i.e screwdriver). I don't think they could make single-use gaskets where you have to purchase additional gaskets from the OEM. I suppose they could come with the battery itself, which the EU requires OEMs to sell for 5 years.

  • All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027

    Jump

  • I'm very curious how this will be handled by OEM's.

    Water resistance is pretty much universal at this point, and as far as I know that's dependent on an airtight seal being maintained throughout the device.

    The EU rule forbids use of tools, chemicals or heat to remove the battery. So how does Apple, Google etc retain the IP68 rating if the back is removable via screws?

    I obviously think this is a really great step for mobile phones; I miss being able to carry a second battery for long trips back in the day. But I'm concerned that this will also make phones bulkier, heavier and less water resistant.

  • PlayStation To Require Age Verification For Certain Online Features

  • What're you going to do when Steam inevitably does this?

    I'll laugh when it happens, given my Steam account is almost 23 years old.

  • Palps tho had a hidden endgame, he wanted the strongest force user's body to put his own mind into. He wasn't afraid of Anakin's raw but untrained power, that was exactly what he wanted. Until Obiwan chopped off 3/4s of his body, ruining him as a host.

    Had no idea of any of this stuff. Is that even in the movies?

  • I'm convinced that AbsolutelyNotCats is a bot.

    Look at all of their comments. They write like an LLM.

    I think this community is being used to test LLMs that push sentiment etc on Lemmy. The mods need to actually respond to this.

  • Google working on Pixel ‘laptop’ and ‘Pixel Glow’ lights that are also coming to phones

    Jump

  • Well I think it's neat. This community is almost toxic with how negative it is about everything.

    If we can set rules at the Notification Channel level, this is a powerful feature for enthusiasts potentially.

  • This happens every year. Pub announces the rule, people complain, shitrag makes an article about it.

    It's just marketing at this point.

  • Your timing is excellent. I'm struggling with managing my relationships in life and am slowly realising that I may have some inattentive ADHD traits. A tool like this, if I can commit to using it, could really help me. And the demo being a massive Community loveletter is a huge green flag! I'm going to give this a go tomorrow.
