Here are the silliest Android phone features of all time in c/android@lemdro.id
[–] duffer@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

There is no real silly, just how limited our imagination is.

I honestly thought cameras on phones were silly and I think the first gen camera phones were rubbish. Never did I know and maybe nobody knew that mobile web/web 2/social media would be as popular as it is and would probably suffer without them.

Which is better: Gran Turismo or Ridge Racer? (PS1) in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

That's why I vote for RR. I love GT, but as a retro game, I would say RR has that pickup and play mentality whereas GT is for the long hall.

I hear what you are saying, but I'm not sure why you aren't doing what you want to do.

If you have a computer not provided by work, why do you have Slack or Teams?

Use ad blockers and/or Pi-Hole to avoid pesky ads.

Watch live TV.

Write a letter.

Stay away or use sparingly, data hungry services.

I know I feel better for it and I don't feel as if I'm missing much.

Imaging going down the local and hearing this guy playing this pub classic.

This is a great watch. I remember the days of trying to program and understand how to program a 32k BBC, using the Users Guide which came with the computer.

It is all too true how we think that kids are born with the knowledge of how computers work, but it's blindingly obvious that unless they are really into computers, they are almost as oblivious as my parents.

What sort of CAD tools are you making and how do they work?

Where do new bands put their music? (lemmy.world)
 

I've noticed that there are a load of new bands without albums and only a few songs.

I saw The Last Dinner Party at Latitude this year and I'm sure their set list was more than 2 songs according to Spotify/YouTube/website.

This goes for Lime Garden, Dead Pony, Divorce and Panic Shack just to name a few.

Discussion: What Android devices are you using? in c/android@lemdro.id

What things are you missing from old Android versions?

I had a realisation recently that I haven't had the requirement to root and customise my FP4. I don't have a terminal app and I've probably forgotten the majority of the ADB commands I used to use!

Maybe I'm just being assimilated into the Google/android eco-system.
