    AMA Announcement: LineageOS team (25th of November, 7 pm UK/2 pm EST/11 am PST/8 pm CEST)

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 08:16 AM PST

    We are happy to announce an AMA with the LineageOS team. LineageOS is one of the most popular custom ROMs available for Android devices with over 1.8 million downloads as of today. LineageOS support might give new life to devices that may have been completely abandoned by their OEMs and official LineageOS support could be a big selling point for a lot of enthusiasts. Moreover the project is open source so anyone can have a look at the source code and report bugs or issues.

    With that being said, the members who will be joining us are -

    • Joey Rizzoli - u/illatiun - PR/Apps/UI/UX

    • Nolen Johnson - u/npjohnson1 - Developer Relations Manager/Device Maintainer

    • Luca Stefani - u/luca020400 - Project Director/Platform Developer/Device Maintainer

    • Łukasz Patron - u/Luk1337 - Project Director/Platform Developer/Device Maintainer

    • Tom Powell - u/zifnab06 - Project Director/Infrastructure Lead

    • Paul Keith - u/javelinanddart - Platform Developer/Commiter/Device Maintainer

    • Aayush Gupta - u/agupta738 - Device Maintainer

    Some small advanced tips for Chrome

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 01:30 PM PST

    I figured to post some small adjustments for Chrome. If you type chrome://flags in the URL bar then you get a separate settings tab where you can enable/disable certain settings for little bit battery usage improvement and for people who don't like the tab grouping implementation.

    1. Throttling Javascript timers.

    When deactivating the tab window in Chrome, various JavaScript task processes are executed in the background, resulting in unnecessary power consumption. By reducing the task processing in the background, the function is to reduce the power consumption and extend the battery life.

    Keyword for searching = background.

    1. Tab groups

    Recently Google pushed an update where tabs are now grouped together. For me and some other people this was pretty annoying. I've found a solution to that.

    Keyword for search = tabs

    1. Heavy Ad Intervention

    Another small battery saving implementation.

    Keyword for search = Heavy Ad

    Rog phone 3 black crush issue root cause identified

    Discovered that the Galaxy S20's open space inside that creates a resonance chamber on the back panel

    Posted: 22 Nov 2020 02:37 PM PST

    I have not seen this mentioned on anything official and I don't think it's actually something intentional, more a by-product of the way the internals are configured, but I recently got an S20 5G which was an upgrade from an S10e (S8+ before that) and noticed that every time I crank the volume up when watching something with action in it that simply by resting my fingers on the back of the phone the whole back panel resonates with the explosions and other action going on as well as resonates with deeper bass notes in music.

    I know other phones have had bass chambers before but they were engineered this way.

    Quite surprised by this and impressed at its effectiveness to give a sort of force feedback when watching content which is especially effective when coupled by turning on Dolby Atmos which on its own impressed me on the S10e with how wide and positioned sound can be from 2 simple phone speakers.

    This is not a phone I planned on buying but a fault with my S10e pushed me this direction and I walk away rather impressed! If you don't rest your fingers on the back panel then there is no such feedback as the thick aluminium frame absorbs it all.

    Are there any other accidental cool stuff not only on this phone but others that people have found like this?

    Google snuck some changes in the new Google Pay.

    Posted: 21 Nov 2020 11:00 PM PST

    Instant payments now have a 1.5% fee and ACH (bank transfers) take 3-5 days.

    Card-to-card payments used to be instant and there was no fee.

    Back to Zelle and Venmo.
