OnePlus' official case - sandstone one - is really nice to touch and has pretty strong magnets. Very happy with it and I got it for free from OnePlus just because I bought a phone! Great stuff.
A 100W charger is a different game. Seriously. Charging for 10-20-30 minutes and gaining a meaningful battery life charge is something I haven’t yet experienced and I love it.
I’m not mad at apple doing nothing impactful to me because I have already moved onto the android train and honestly because I had to ditch the Pixel 8a (just wasn’t powerful enough unfortunately) I had to pick a new phone and could have picked an iphone. But didn’t.
I know it is very early but I HATE iOS 26 redesign. Seriously hate this liquid glass.
I did a thing. Bye Pixel! I needed something with more power and battery.
Her name is Ptyśka (closest translation would be cream puff), she’s a rescue, two years old and from now on - she lives with us! 🐕🥰
“When you think about it, this is nothing like the EU’s recent-ish mandate that most electronic devices must support USB-C ports for charging. I still think that law was unnecessary — the market forces had worked, and the whole world had either already moved (like iPads did starting in 2018) or was on the cusp of moving to USB-C (like iPhones).”
Holy fuck, I’m not the brightest but I know a bad take when I see one.
My iPod was getting full (I had only 128GB SD card in it) so I have added additional 256GB. This time we are golden.
The Studio - perfect. Per-fect.
Life is too short to listen to shitty podcasts, I say to myself when I try to skim through uninteresting parts of Cortex and simultaneously unsubscribing to LOTS of different podcasts that I haven’t listened to nor will listen to anytime in the future.
I like it more on Android. Big changes from what I remember from around 2018.
Voted.
I’m in between notes app - I’ve got copies of my notes in Standard Notes, Google Keep and Notion. 🙈
I see myself turning my phone notifications off more and more. I like when my phone is dead silent and I can check it when I want to. Also, double notifications (one on my pc, one on my phone) are so fucking annoying.
Dear old me, let’s just say that a couple of things has changed.
Just did it: github.com/Olsro/ipo…
I now have (nearly) all of the old iPod games on my iPod!
Also, Android stuck. I’m good. Like - seriously - everything works great. No issues (other than battery, but that’s fixable with either a power bank or - later on - getting a slightly better phone).
I’m very curious about these new, Chinese phones with 7000/8000 mAh batteries. This is bonkers. But also, I’m not going to use something that isn’t the Pixel experience because this is wild how good it is.
I reinstalled Windows like I said a couple of days ago but didn’t have a chance to actually configure it for a week, so I’m on Mac for my second week, and honestly, it’s so refreshing.
Not sure if I would change my decision in the past from this tower PC to some kind of Mac Mini. On one hand, Windows is bad, and Linux lacks some apps I need for work. On the other, I’m playing games on my PC (not in last week though, but it was a crazy week in my defense!) and I very much like it.
I’m going to configure it later for sure, but maybe I should make my PC exclusively a personal gaming machine with no work on it at all? Maybe that’s the move?
BTW. So I’m definitely not gonna go out of Pixel lineup when being on Android. I know Samsung’s and Honor’s phones are very interesting and very good, but Pixel experience is just out of this world and the only one that just isn’t ugly.
I’m obviously gonna rock that 8a for as long as I can because seriously that’s a very good, very cheap phone. But my next one will be definitely Pixel something Fold.
I blogged more on a Mac because of Mars Edit. Just sayin.
