On being weird
  • ayyndrew ayyndrew 3mo ago 87%

    I completely disagree. I don't think the nerd being bullied for liking anime is "bad weird", nor do I think the creep who doesn't care when people call him out for staring at women is "good weird"

    Did you see the Linus Tech Tips video where he went through his highest grossing videos? They can definitely make some money purely through YouTube

    The general public don't really care about this ad stuff

  • USB-C head-to-head teardown - Lumafield
  • ayyndrew ayyndrew 1y ago 100%

    Does anyone know of a decently priced, fully featured USB C cable that I can just buy a bunch of? I have to keep track of which high speed data cable came with my external SSD, which cable is USB 2.0 only, and which cables support high speed charging which kind of defeats the "one cable to rule them all" point of USB C

  • So long, small phones
  • ayyndrew ayyndrew 1y ago 100%

    Using diagonal screen size to measure phones doesn't work because of bezels and taller aspect ratios. The 5.5" iPhone 6 Plus (2014) is pretty much the same size as the 6.7" iPhone 15 Pro Max

  • So long, small phones
  • ayyndrew ayyndrew 1y ago 50%

    There are some features that just can't be equal between a bigger phone and a smaller one (or would require gimping the bigger phone) like a bigger screen (obviously), bigger battery and more size for larger camera sensors

    The bezels look pretty similar between the 8 and 8 Pro unlike previous generations, in a good way

  • kamila 🌸: Google Pixel Watch 2 marketing material

    That's a shame, the only reason I could think of for doing that is to create artificial separation with the Pixel Watch

    The Versa and Sense line have even more functionality, with comparable battery life to the Charge. Wear OS (and WatchOS, to be fair) must be a massive battery hog

    I'm quite interested in their Ghost cases, I like the MagSafe and dbrand are big enough that I can actually trust their claim of it never yellowing

    Omg yes, I rarely use Google Pay on my Pixel Watch because it is so awkward to align it with the reader, fist bumping the reader seems so much better

  • Flick's legacy
  • ayyndrew ayyndrew 1y ago 100%

    A thing I've seen a lot is people looking back on his time at Bayern less fondly, saying things like "2020 UCL was only because of Lewy & Gnabry's finishing" and "His system was falling apart by the second season", which isn't all true. I am interested to see if he continues in management, and where he goes next.
