As someone who has a good windows laptop at home, windows at work is actual garbage. We had a month where you just couldn’t use the search function, because the act of typing in the search bar caused enough problems it would close the search bar.
Odds are your home computer is somewhat competent and your work one is a steaming pile of trash not fit for purpose.
When I replaced my 5 year old phone the only two benefits I saw was OLED screen (never going without again) and the battery life going from maybe a day to like 40 hours
Don’t literally all car manufacturers spy on everyone all the time to an ungodly degree? Not saying it’s a good thing, but Kia and Hyundai aren’t different here.
Need a bigger phone so you can hit it with 2 fingers instead of one :D
Depends on the game you play. M.2 vs Sata SSD isn’t a huge deal for game, but either of those vs HDD on a game with actual loading times is a brutal difference.
Foldable at least has theoretical benefit, curved screens on a phone are fucking terrible
I have a bad connection and I find that a closed tab will still finish what it was doing before you closed it, could be related.
I found out about it by being unable to use my laptop with sunnies unless I rotate the sunnies or the screen. Yet another lcd downside, should’ve got an old lmao
I tried the games once and they fucking suck, and then youtube wouldn’t stop trying to get me to play them more for like 4 months. I mostly use PC so shorts existing while being mildly inconvenient, isn’t an issue because I can just scroll past them. The movies have tempted me a couple times, but idk if i want to pay money for something i probably wont watch all of, actual youtube content is often more enjoyable.
Aside from showing me stuff I’ve seen (hopefully I just missed a setting for that) I don’t really have an issue with the yt algorithm. I watch game stuff, tech and science and it shows me more of that mostly. I am logged in though, so I don’t know if that makes any difference given they are able to track your interests regardless.
I don’t think I’ve ever gone through anything with less than 2 captchas in years
I used to, should do it again for when internet drops. Idk when USB C phones started being 3.0 so I’m not sure if what I was getting before was 3.0 or if I wouldn’t care. (Redmi note 8 pro is old phone if you care to compare at all)
My laptop is 144hz and I leave my phone on 60 for battery reasons and I’ve not noticed any issues using my phone. Scrolled my app menu back and forth quickly to see if I was just ignoring it but that seemed fine.
On one hand, yeah that isn’t great. On the other hand, would you literally ever notice? My new phone is 6 years newer and multiple times faster than my old one and the only functional difference I’ve noticed is OLED screen vs not OLED. Nothing ever lagged before due to hardware, hasn’t changed. Unless I’m using my phone as a USB drive, cord speed doesn’t matter. I presume I have 3.0 speeds from USB c, but it could be slower than 1.0 and I wouldn’t notice. 6 years of storage on my old phone got it to like 25gb used including the OS.
Might be your cars fault. I’ve been in some cars that are cooperative (current is like a 99.5% success rate) and some that are… Not. Used a VW Bora, aftermarket head unit worked like 1 in 10 attempts. Newer Toyota corrola straight up steals my Bluetooth connection so I’d give that about 140% because it will always connect even if I don’t want to, am in another car and currently connected to a different device.
Definitely on by default on my laptop
Can confirm, the GPU in my laptop costs more than all but my newest car.
With how low the average person is with tech skills, it’s very easy to be top 10%.
Had similar in my old car, honestly a decent Bluetooth speaker will be better than a lot of old, stock car speakers would be anyway.
My old phone screen was fine, I just hate bright lights and OLED gets way darker.
My new phone doesn’t have waterfall edges, presuming that’s a curved edge thing. Flat display on all sides, no side bullshit.
Another benefit of OLED, at least in my case (nothing phone 2a) is there’s no polarisation layer so I can wear my sunnies and look at my phone on any angle I please, instead of rotating it making the screen vanish. Laptop still does that and it’s super annoying, if I’m outside watching videos on it I just can’t use sunglasses.
