| The new Google Play Store 'Manage apps and devices' section... is really bad Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:43 PM PDT I don't understand some of the changes Google makes to perfectly working apps for seemingly no reason. It now takes an extra click for checking for app updates, which adds up when you check it multiple times a day. More importantly, updates don't always show up on the first screen. 1 in 10 times, it'll show the 'All apps are up to date' message but when I click on it and click 'Check for updates', two new apps will show that they do in fact require updates. What the hell? And whose idea was it to separate the currently updating apps and recently updated app lists? The previous format was so convenient, you could easily see what apps recently updated and their changelog as you updated new apps, but now you can't do that. You need to go back and click on 'See recent updates'. The 'Library' option serves absolutely no purpose beyond your app wishlist, (which should be integrated in the 'Manage apps' section or should have it's own section) because the other two options redirect you to other apps. Alright, end of rant. Just wish we could have the old layout back. And now that I'm talking about Google, I'll add that Google Duo sucks (seriously? No indicator to show who's currently talking?), and Google Meet needs more features (like the ability to share sound when screen sharing on mobile devices, this should be basic!)

| Galaxy S21 Ultra 108MP vs 10x Optical Zoom. Zoom into the images and see the detail difference! Posted: 12 Jul 2021 01:55 PM PDT -First image is slightly compressed (could not find a website to host the image at full quality) -Second image is the 108MP image cropped to relatively the same size as the 10x Optical Zoom (roughly 10MP) uncompressed -Third image is the 10x Optical Zoom (10MP) uncompressed On the first image you can even zoom onto other portions of the photo and see the detail that the 108MP captures. You can easily read names on buildings, and advertisements on the stadium. Uncompressed these show even better, however I do not know of a way to detail the 108MP photo in all it's glory. (Google Drive link to the first image uncompressed, though I am not sure if other accounts are able to view the file in full quality: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FCTI7ijA8QOFwpNaMdL8yOiodVHVxYEi/view) [link] [comments] | ||

| Android without Google Services is gonna be more usable soon ! Posted: 12 Jul 2021 08:19 PM PDT Here's a simple study conducted by me - So we all are aware that Windows 11 is coming with Android support using Intel bridge technology and the app repository would be 'Amazon App Store' with 500k apps, not Google Play with more than 2 million apps ... So a normal person would see this as a collaboration with Amazon and Microsoft but that won't be the actual story under the hood ; it's Amazon's Another creepty attempt to create a Google-free Android . This collab would lead more and more android developers to make their apps compatible with Amazon's App store - thus compatible without GSF (Google Services Framework). Amazon's App store couldn't become a success in the past since the rest of the OEMs except a few were part of the Open Handset Alliance and thus couldn't explicitly support a Google-Free Android and since there was Play Store pre-installed anyway, the users didn't switch either. By the 2019, Google was successful in tying almost all popular app being dependant on GSF and developers didn't resist either since their workload was cut down due to the APIs provided by Google. Now here's the present catch - windows 10 itself has aroud 400 million users , and let's assume 50% of them would switch to Windows 11 within a few months or an year - that's a whooping 200 million users into the modern windows with Android apps' support powered by Amazon's App Store . This would obviously lead more and more developers to port their apps to be compatible with Amazon's App Store - apps that can run without Google Services' dependency !!! This would really help Android as an Operating System become independent of Google's closed source propreitary framework and i think this is a GOOD NEWS for users who love AOSP the way it was back then.....

| HowTo: download reddit videos without u/SaveVideo Posted: 12 Jul 2021 04:49 PM PDT HowTo download reddit videos without u/SaveVideo (edit: ROOT NEEDED) In this Post i will show you how you can download videos from reddit & other websites in 2-3 clicks since reddit decided to screw with our download bots. At the End of this Howto you will be able to download (almost) any Video on Reddit and other websites / apps. What we will do in this Howto:
Let's Start ;) !As the first step, we need to install Termux from the Playstore (or somewhere else). Termux is an App that gives you access to a commando console on your android phone. Using Termux, we can install things and configurate them - exactly what we gonna need! So head over to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux with your Android phone and install Termux. You can too search for "Termux" on the Playstore - that will lead you to the same installation page. After you did that, we need to configure Termux so it will run our command that then will automatically download the Video. First, we need to give Termux access to our Device Storage with this command: run this command inside Termux. If you're on a newer Android Version, this should open up a popup which asks you if you will give Termux access to your device storage. Press yes in this Popup - this will give Termux access to your files. then we gonna need to install python.. to do that, run this command in Termux: Termux will ask you if you really want to install python.. enter "y" (without the ") in your keyboard and hit enter. if python is installed, we need to also install cURL and ffmpeg. install them the same way you did python (pkg install curl, pkg install ffmpeg). after you have done this, we need to install youtube-dl. youtube-dl needs all the other programs we just have installed to work.. and by using youtube-dl, we can download videos from youtube, pornhub, reddit and a ton of other websites. we install youtube-dl by running the following command: this command will install youtube-dl on your smartphone. now we need to configure Termux to use youtube-dl to download the videos we want. this is the home directory of Termux in which all it's settings & files are stored. now, navigate into the new created .config folder and create an folder named youtube-dl and navigate into it. we now need to create a new file named "config" (not config.txt !). to do this, you can use your file browser. then you need to put this text into the config file with a texteditor of your choice: this tells Termux which video format it should search for & where it should download it to. the folder storage/shared/Download/ inside the termux folder will lead to ./storage/emulated/0/Download on your phone. But since every Android Phone haves a different folder structure, this can be different on your phone. here you just need to try out where the folder will lead you to. or you choose a different download folder where youtube-dl will put the downloaded videos to. Explaination: Reddit Videos are often in the "dash-VIDEO-1" format, this means that we want youtube-dl to search exactly for this format as the first choice. That's why we did put it as the first selection in our command. And because we want the best audio quality.. we use the selection "bestaudio". But there are cases where video's on reddit don't have audio.. so we have a choice for that case too in our command. If youtube-dl can't find a video format dash-VIDEO-1 (with or without audio), we tell youtube-dl to just download the best video format it can find. That can be webm, gif, mp4 or something else. In my experience, this selection of video formats is more than enough for reddit & a lot of other websites. we now can save the file & go back into the termux home directory ( /data/data/com.termux/files/home/ ). now we create a new folder (if not already existing) called "bin" and navigate into it. in this new folder, we need to create a new file called "termux-url-opener"". you can again use your file browser for this like you have done it before in this guide. in the termux-url-opener your now input this: and then you save the file. Now we are done & we can use your new Feature!To do this, go as an example inside the Reddit Boost App and click on a video you want to download. Instead of clicking download, you now press share link. Now a new Popup opens with a list of Apps you can share the link to. Choose here the Termux App. After clicking on the Termux Icon, Termux should open itself and start downloading the video into the folder you choosed above in the guide. After the download is done, Termux closes itself and you should be in the Boost App again. You can now navigate with your File Browser App of your choice into your download folder and can see the video Termux downloaded for you. You now can share the Video with your Friends on Discord, Whatsapp.. or where ever you want. This works almost everywhere where you can use the "share" feature of android to "share" a link. chrome browser, reddit apps etc.. a lot of websites and apps support this. Important:The same way you just downloaded a video inside the Boost App, you can too download Videos from inside the Youtube App or from Pornhub & other Websites who have videos embedded into them. If you use the Chrome App, you can use the share function the same way you did in the Boost App. By using this HowTo, you now can easy download Videos with 2 clicks. Enjoy. background information about this guide: i wrote this howto a long time ago in first place as a workaround for a bug inside the reddit boost app.. but now since reddit decided to ban the download bots people loved, i decided to help people to be able to download videos by themself without the need for any bots. enjoy downloading reddit posts! p.s: on computer you can also use youtube-dl, if you use youtube-DLG you even have a nice GUI.
