Nebula is awesome.
Nebula is awesome.
IT WAS RIGHT THERE ALL ALONG.
Double-press the lock button and the camera opens on android phones (or at least you can configure it that way). Been that way for years.
Yep! That’s why I said, “something I desperately miss from my Android phones.” :)
I’m kinda confused on why this button is helpful. If you open the camera app on iOS, hitting either volume button will take a picture.
Opens the camera faster than going through the lock screen (something I desperately miss from my Android phones), and it’s multifunctional. You can press it with different intensity levels to get different functionality, and it’s touch sensitive so you can use it to make adjustments.
It’s not like, revolutionary. But it looks pretty cool and I’m looking forward to trying it out.
backlit Kindles
As I understand it, Kindles aren’t backlit but rather frontlit (or sidelit) with a layer designed to diffuse the light across the page evenly. The claim is that the lack of direct lighting helps in the fight against eye strain as well.
Safari offers ad blocking on iOS. You just have to get your extensions through the App Store. But other browsers don’t (yet).
Essentially, yes. Ebonics isn’t inherently offensive or inappropriate, as far as I can tell, but it has connotations that are not attached to AAE. Linguists avoid the term today, and modern uses of it tend to be derogatory.
I never got on the Xperia train cause my buddy had a rough experience with one (long before I went to the dark side and bought an iPhone).
But I did think the camera stuff seemed cool.
One of the few things I truly miss going from my OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition (greatest phone I ever owned, may it rest bricked in peace) to the iPhone is being able to open the camera without waking the phone first. Double tapping the power button to open the camera was great. On iPhone I have to wake the screen and then get to the camera, which is fast but not NEARLY as fast, so I sometimes miss shots I would’ve gotten with an Android phone. This should also fix that (as did the Action button in the iPhone 15, I think, but I don’t have that).
If the rumors for the capture button are true it’s pretty neat. Being able to zoom, focus, and snap a picture with the same capacitive button is neat, and would make smartphone camerawork be nearly as easy as digital cameras from twenty five years ago! 😅
Or a PS5. The comparisons between PS5 and PS5 Pro are nearly impossible to notice.
