but there is no unity to it all.

in my opinion thats pretty much the point. and what really makes android different. while unity is great, i like the idea of being able to "make it mine", wheather some find it cluttered or not.

all the jailbroken iphone screenshots look more or less the same, while definately awesome, while the android screens are on one hand easily recognized as android but also are that certain users interpretation of how it should look in order to make their workflow ... flow.

im not saying that you cant make the iphone look like you want it to look but you do need to go through some steps that some users might find a bit complicated. on android, you can do most of the stuff seen here out of the box.

most of the stuff, i say.

but it sure is easier to take a freaking screenshot on the iphone. :D

You know some of these Android desks look great. Others just look so cluttered. I mean I like the fact that you can pretty much put the icons where you want and such, but there is no unity to it all.

there doesn't need to be unity. i love the fact i can do whatever i want to my desktop. :yes:

how so? on android i use shoot me and all i do is start the app and shake my phone to take the photo, how hard is that to do?

as far as i know you have to root your device to use shoot me.

the only way to take screens without rooting is via the SDK.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.

    • Proton releases Proton Drive CLI for Windows, Mac, and Linux

      By noobient · Posted

      Completely irrelevant as long as pricing is garbage. With OneDrive I get storage for about $18 / TB for a year. With Proton it's $96. For the record, Google One is around $48, Dropbox $69, iCloud $60. In other words, Proton is the worst value BY FAR. Not to mention with OneDrive I get full desktop and web office suites for 6 people.
