Thermopyle posted:Well yes, but aren't those just links? It seems odd to me that apps would just be downloading all linked images and videos by default. Nah, the Twitter app will autoplay videos (no audio until you tap it) and show picture previews alongside tweets.

Blue Train posted:why even autoplay them at all then wth Because it's a visual medium? You don't always have to have audio to understand what's happening, and that may very well entice you to tap and watch the whole thing.

CLAM DOWN posted:Forgive my ignorance, but what's the point of an Android emulator if it's not truly emulating Android? It's not emulating Android, it's just Android running on x86, therefore ARM-specific code won't run, and it's not emulating a specific device. It'll run the odd Android app just fine if that's all that's needed. I'd assume when someone is looking for an Android emulator on Windows, they're looking to run Android apps on a desktop. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jan 16, 2017 |

Mikl posted:The official Twitter app is becoming annoying, especially now that it hides the @-replies by deafult. (Twitter! Why gently caress everything up?) I personally like Flamingo better than any of the other alternatives. It's not perfect, but it's the closest I feel any of the third-party apps get to giving me a clean space to read and navigate my timeline. It's still mindblowing that Android still doesn't have something on the level of Tweetbot, honestly.

LastInLine posted:And as far as I can tell, it's not even doable. You can, just not if you set it as a persistent search bar, since... it'll be persistent in that case. Otherwise, it's just a placable widget via the normal widget selector. And if you mean round icons when you say round assets, you can do that, as well. It can still be arduous, but I believe it'll use round icons if they exist and you can download one of many stock round icon packs to mess with. Again, it's 100% more work than just using the Pixel launcher, but unfortunately the Pixel launcher won't default to round icons on non-Pixel devices, so (AFAIK) it's the only way to get something approximating the Pixel look. Not being able to swipe for Now sucks, but for some it's not a massive deal.

nimper posted:Ya I'm not sure why 18:9 is a thing with these new phones. Most people are looking at giant scrolling lists, essentially, so it makes a bit of sense. On a related note, it's crazy how little time it takes for the screen on the S8 or G6 to look normal and make everything else look weird and fat.

LastInLine posted:FYI the states where this would be illegal are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington. AFAIK that's incorrect about Michigan, in that the courts had ruled the existing law was in regards to the conversations of others, not your own. e: It wasn't taken to the MI Supreme Court, so I guess it could still get challenged.

BisterdDave posted:Apparently paying through Apple requires different steps in order to switch. Basically I had to unsubscribe through iTunes, and then I'll have to resubscribe once my current sub ends. Also I had no idea Apple charges an additional 30% for subscriptions (I was paying $13 a month). Seriously, gently caress Apple! Yeah, that's not Apple's fault. They take a 30% cut of all App Store sales (I believe Google's rate is the same), and Google decided to offload that onto Apple by charging an extra $3/mo. I thought they'd tried to put an end to that, too, buuuuuut ???

Thermopyle posted:I was highlighting the idea that in the general case a tablet requiring a keyboard infrequently doesn't mean that tablet hasn't solved anything. Ostensibly, that is a device that was designed to provide a full-touch ChromeOS experience. If it doesn't provide that, I'm not sure what it's solved. Your earlier iPad comparison strikes me as sorta bizarre. The keyboard (or Pencil) provide additional features, they don't plug holes. That is not the Tab 10. The Tab 10 requires additional hardware not included to enable and execute basic features that every other Chromebook can do.

Thermopyle posted:I was talking about the idea that a device requiring a keyboard to do something does not mean the device does not solve any problems. "Plugging holes" vs "providing addtional features" is a distinction without a difference. A keyboard on an ipad provides the additional feature that you can type long form text without fatigue or whatever. The ipad has the hole-to-be-plugged that you can't type long form text without fatigue. Unrelated, has anyone used Dark Sky since its redesign? I actually really like it, something I don't often think is the case with app redesigns... \/\/\/\/ That's fine, this post was only really talking about distinguishing between additional features and holes/flaws. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Jul 9, 2018 |

Is there any analog for the iOS app Sofa? It’s essentially a watchlist type app, but it has the ability to make custom lists with any type of media (movies, TV, books, games, podcasts) complete with searching to pull proper names and cover art. I know of things like Trakt but I’m hoping to find a single app that’ll let me keep my lists of things I wanna watch, play, and read together while looking nice and not cluttered with other notes or anything. Bit of a specific request, I know, but fingers crossed...

LastInLine posted:I did not test out sharing but it sounds like that's a real weak point of 1Password but really nice in LastPass and decent enough in Bitwarden. I don’t know if it’s new but you can share access to vaults in 1Pass now. Also for anyone who hasn’t discovered it, when your password manager fails to pick up a login/password field, long press it and tap “autofill” et voila.

anyone got a recommendation for a system-wide ad blocker? only name i'd heard recently was blokada, dunno if there's anything better. also any browser alternatives to chrome that support system autofill (so not samsung browser) and have some decent privacy-related options?

eSporks posted:What I'm looking for is less calendar, and more task management. Not sure if this is totally up your alley, but Toggl is probably the most popular time tracking service and I find the app to be pretty good. It has a mixture of tracking and pomodoro/focus features. Might be worth trying?
