Early Galaxy A55 review reveals considerable 31% GPU performance bump vs Galaxy A54 and disappointing charging speed in c/[email protected]

I opened the article because of that. It takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to fully charge. Is that really so disappointing to someone? Feels fine to me. I'm more disappointed it doesn't have a headphone jack again.

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month in c/[email protected]

I'd rather have a cheaper version premium just for Youtube without ads though. I've heard there is or was Premium Lite in some countries, but not where I'm from. I don't need Music, I already pay Tidal for that.

Or is YT Music with Premium so much better than the free one? When I cancelled my Spotify and were looking where to move to, I gave the free YTM a try. It would be two birds with one stone - YT without ads and a replacement music streaming service. But I just hated the whole experience. The UI, that my music "follows" get mixed with YouTube subscriptions, and that it always plays a video with every song.

There's a news/politics website in my country that had radio ads, billboards and everything with a slogan "Nobody dictates us what we should write about."

This tweet reminds me of that and doesn't really fill me with trust either.

BTW, the mentioned website is described as a "disinformation medium" on Wikipedia.

Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page... in c/[email protected]

I don't remember them ever in a separate section on the subscription page. Maybe it was just one of google's A/B testing for some people or I just hid them immediately and forgot. :-)

I don't get why everyone is so mad about this. When I saw it yesterday, I was glad they finally put them into a separate box I can just scroll past. Before, Shorts were just mixed in between the normal videos in the subscription feed and that was fucking awful.

This post is a day old and I see it in my hot & subscribed feed! And I don't even subscribe to this community. I've had it blocked actually. lol

Looks cool and calm!

BTW, I don't know what software you use for editing, but the purple fringing around the highlights at the top can be fixed in RawTherapee using Details-Defringe filter. I've been fighting with that on some of my pics from woods too.

Quite good result considering you draw it from memory.

20 Android 'hidden gems,' i.e. excellent, mostly free, mostly lesser-known games. in c/[email protected]

Nice list, I was bit worried at first it'd be all roguelikes because of the first 3 games.

Total Party Kill looks really original and interesting, looking forward to try it.

I'm also surprised My Friend Pedro is on mobile and free. I've heard of it and thought it's a normal indie PC game.
