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 Nas · Posted

      One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.

      Each generaton has its exciting times and I was fortunate enough to be right there at the beginning of the PC industry.   I don't think any of us at that time realized how large it would become I still remember working on a TRS-80 with a green screen monitor that kept overheating and dying.     Also used some TRS-80 PCs with tape cartridge memory.   They worked but boy were they slow with everything being a very slow sequential read or write.  But heh, they worked though it wasn't long before they were repaced by the HDD. 
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      One Drive should be a four letter word. First thing I disable on my computer. If I want to upload something to the cloud, I use a cloud base storage, NOT microsoft. Oh but what about backup. I have done backups since floppy disk eras...it just comes naturally.
