  • Google Pixel 4a’s ruinous “Battery Performance” update is a bewildering mess

    Jump

  • What improvements do you like? Maybe there's something I'm overlooking. I also agree on size, i really didn't want anything larger than the 4a and the 8 was the closest i could find.

  • I had a couple 4a and now have an 8. Don't bother -- I'm convinced there are better phones for the $. Not to mention better companies to buy from, after this shit show

  • Why do that when they can finally force people off their halfway-decent hardware in favor of their latest crap? I had a 4a and liked it, worked fine for my purposes. When it crapped out i just got another 4a. Eventually the newer one started boot-looping intermittently and i decided it was time to upgrade to something more "modern". After spending way too much time researching the current options and cornering myself into options paralysis, i decided maybe the best choice was to "double" my pixel and jump from a 4 to an 8. I figured that many generations difference should provide for a notably better/faster experience. It didn't. I liked the 4a just as much as my 8--only difference being some very small changes in options and menus. Performance-wise it's not opening pages with blazing speed, the 5G doesn't really seem to be any faster than the 4G i had been using on the Pixel 4a. Camera performance is a little better but nothing ground-breaking. I think it's possible i get worse telephone performance, i occasionally get dropped/static-y calls and sometimes can't call at all. Overall i was really disappointed to see my upgrade act more as a lateral move. I probably should have just gotten another 4a when my last one died. Of course, it would probably need a battery now, lol. Or have the boot-loop problem.

    Welcome to the future, where the tech is cutting edge but built with the cheapest components possible 🙃

  • Whatever replaces this shit show of a healthcare system is not going to be an improvement.

    For that matter, what happens when the collapse takes place? Everyone suddenly gets free healthcare? Or does nobody get reliable healthcare until the new system is in place? I hate this fucking system but i fail to see how trump and his cronies will do anything but line their pockets playing favorites for the billionaires that own the industry, leaving us somehow even worse off

  • VLC just managed to get some newer video files to play for me on a 10 year old tablet that wouldn't play them with it's included video player. It was also one of the only apps on the play store that would still work on that old tablet as well. It's been my go-to video player for years now, terrific software 🥂

  • The less money wage slaves have, the easier they are to control. 6 fucking dollars to help someone get through their day and the richest country in the world says that's too much.

    If they keep pushing people like this though, they have to choose between food or a roof over their heads--then what? Scores of homeless in a society that is increasingly hostile to them.

    This is not going to end well.
