stadia the subscription service that is free for 1080p streaming (buying the probably overpriced games on their store) will be quite attractive if it ever exists

stadia at the moment where you have to pay $130 for a bad controller and a chromecast ultra i already have sucks

hahahaha source your quotes.

its attractive to me. you can play pc games and you dont need to buy a pc that costs 1500 bucks or whatever and is big ugly loud and uses a ton of power

what? $500 would get you a pc that eats almost no power and can play all of your games at 1080p@60.

Then you get to keep your games, don’t suffer from lag, and can use a proper keyboard and mouse.

i remember people online saying netflix was dumb when it started streaming because you didnt own the movies and they were worse image quality than blurays at the time. wonder where they are now.

Netflix is $10 a month and you can stream everything without additional cost.

imagine netflix, but you also spend $30 to buy the title first from the netflix store, that you can then only watch on netflix

$30 would be a discount with Stadia LOL

the iPhone X is almost 3 years old and is destroying every android. I was told in this very thread that android chips are competitive now.

well you see, in multicore specific synthetic benchmarks an 865+ almost matches a year and a half old A13 while only losing 50% of battery life over the A13 and therefor it’s competitive!!!

Samsung puts adds in their phone app, but the Grey forums Android thread has a fix:

Edward IV posted:

At least you option to avoid almost all of the Samsung crap. It's even possible to replace the phone and messaging app with the stock Android ones though the phone app requires signing up for the beta program and may not work with all devices.

Having put up with Samsung apps when I got my S8 Active, being able to mostly bypass all the Samsung stuff in my S20+ is a breath of fresh air.

Just sign up for a beta and use the stock phone app that may or may not work lmao

Google constantly produces hardware at the same price or a tiny bit cheaper than Apple with the hopes that people forget they aren’t Apple. Every time they fail to realize that their main products are free and nobody wants to pay premium pricing for a Google product.

LG products have always been lousy quality. they seem incapable of making things without cutting corners and their design is terrible. it’s unfortunate because they’re one of the best LCD and OLED panel makers.

People who demand sdcard storage also buy the cheapest piece of poo poo sdcard they can find and then complain when it's slow or breaks, and they yank them out all the time while the sdcard is mounted and in use. Removable storage is awful, and I'm glad it's going away.

no, because unlike Android, iOS isn’t programmed in Java and is optimized for things like memory usage. The 6s has 2G of Ram and NVME. It’s perfectly fine for iOS 15.
