If you go look on TheVerge, they got a closed preview of the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro about a month ago whether they could talk about what they saw, but not show anything. One of the things demo’d was a “true” HDR video feature where the Google Tensor SoC is fast enough to take multiple exposures of video and combine them to…

i figured that was them forcing me into a larger phone when I just went by screen size

@Sad Crying Clown - which I am unable to directly reply to your post in the grays because of Kinja

I don’t know anything about iPhones so can’t comment about them, but I just wish Google would put the same cameras in the smaller phone.

As my screenname implies, I also prefer smaller phones... but over the past decade, it has been empirically proven that people prefer larger phones (the XL Pixel models have always outsold the regular models AFAIK).

You’d be surprised how much money you can lose defending yourself against frivolous lawsuits that have basically no legal basis at all. He would win in the end... but be in serious debt or bankrupt... because Facebook can outspend him in the lawsuit... slow playing the lawsuit with extensions and delays... while he…

To me it looks like Geordi LeForge or Daft Punk theme phone (in a good way), but that’s just me. The last phone I had that wasn’t a black or dark blue rectangle was the Moto X.

I wish you could get the better camera with the smaller screen.

I agree that there are few people cross-shopping iOS vs Android... but having it be slightly less than iPhone meets a basic gut check in the current brand reputations between the two. With the iPhone having been known to be the historically better built, more polished and more reliable than the Pixel line... having it…

For me Banksy added still his own riff to the idea, because the Girl with the Balloon setup to shred itself the moment after someone paid a lot of money for it. Thereby mocking the entire commercial art enterprise of which neither the artist nor the public generally benefit from (mean can you imagine the what was…

Every reply notification links to the article, but does not auto-jump you to the post in question... meaning you have manually search through/expand all the posts to find it.

Once you prevent the light from reaching the sensor - by whatever means for whatever reason - you’ve compromised the picture and are having to invent information (with algorithms) that simply isn’t there.

China is a net importer of coal, so it doesn’t have a vested interested in building/financing coal power plants in other countries. It really just want to build “something” in another country and is perfectly happy to build solar/wind/nuclear... whatever... so long as it personally benefits from that. These One Belt…

I know plans can change, but I swore that Disney said it was coming to Disney+ 45 days after its release which would be mid October. Does anyone else remember this?

Tevis (who passed 36 years ago) originally wrote “There was Nona Gaprindashvili, not up to the level of this tournament, but a player who had met all these Russian Grandmasters many times before.”

I agree though that it was weird the Netflix script team tripped on this gaffe. I don’t think it was intentional... they…

It was so loud that the person commenting on the telemetry and progress of the launch couldn’t be heard, so it was very distracting.

While I don’t think this lawsuit has legal merit... that particular disclaimer you have doesn’t apply because it doesn’t work if you actual explicitly name a real person in their actual historical persona. You would have to use a disclaimer like D. M. Thomas would dealt with using Freud as a character in The White…

He’s definitely a rich person going into space and he’s definitely flexing his money. But in addition to the $200M he paid for the spaceflight, he also is trying to raise an additional $200M in donations for St. Jude’s Hospital ($100M of which he already donated out of his own pocket). One of the people going up is a…
