Maybe try changing the Wi-Fi band (“Wi-Fi Hotspot” -> “Speed and compatibility” menu)? Check also if you get the same slow internet with USB tethering.

That’s one of the annoying parts of the stock OS (unless you can ignore the search bar), it’s an unremovable part of the default Pixel launcher. To get rid of it you’d have to install a 3rd-party launcher, or just install GrapheneOS 👀

nothing but rumors right now but here they seem to expect something between $500 and $549: https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/google-pixel-phones/google-pixel-8a

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of your hearing aids? It’s worth a shot and you don’t have much to lose, + they’re probably not even aware that there’s an issue with them.

Do you still have that issue? I have Pixel Buds A and I haven’t had any problem with my ear buds on GrapheneOS.

Out of curiosity, which one did you get?

But yeah, a case is definitely the first must-buy (went case-free for years, changed my mind recently as I dropped my P7a on concrete for the third time 🙃). No MagSafe ring for mine, but I got a Ringke Onyx case. It’s pretty cheap, looks great and even makes your phone much more pleasant to hold.

Thanks for the heads up!

I do forget sometimes that I’m using uBlock Origin 👀. Thanks @JimboDHimbo@lemmy.ca for the link!

Thank you and congrats to the lemmings who claimed them! 😁

for the math homies, you could say that NaN is an absorbing element

It’s about this bug that came with the January update: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/pixel-storage-bugs-are-back-with-users-unable-to-use-their-devices/

Nice, thanks for the feedback! It looks like some small gadget functionality then.

Probably because it likely uses object recognition with some neural network on what you circled? But yes, anything involving neural networks will get the marketing label “AI”.

Yeah it’s not Linux. It’s forked off MenuetOS (https://menuetos.net/ ) which is a hobby OS written entirely in assembly (FASM flavor, https://flatassembler.net/ ).

Sorry to hear that you missed out on the new color, but hey you still got a great phone 😁 What color did you pick?

Slow and steady wins the race

Since you already know Java, you could jump straight to C++ with Bjarne’s book “Programming - Principles and Practice Using C++”: https://www.stroustrup.com/programming.html

You can then move to more modern C++ with his other book “A Tour of C++”: https://www.stroustrup.com/tour3.html

And then if you’re curious to know how software design is done in modern C++, even if you already know classical design patterns from your Java experience, you should get Klaus Iglberger’s book: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/c-software-design/9781098113155/

In parallel also watch the “Back to Basics” video series by CppCon (see their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CppCon , just type “back to basics” in that channel’s search bar).

Learning proper C++ should give you a much better understanding of the hardware while the syntax still remains elegant, and you get to add a new skill that’s in very high demand.

and maybe show it off in our Pixel photos thread 😁
