    PSA: Markup tool destroys your images. Photos messes up the file modification date

    Posted: 22 Aug 2021 01:10 PM PDT

    Just wanted to have a little PSA that Google's Markup tool destroys your image quality.

    It does not matter how much or how little you edit, the moment you save the image using the Markup tool, the quality is destroyed.

    Here are some examples:

    Original image

    Edited using the Markup tool. The image is downsized, EXIF is stripped and the quality is heavily degraded.

    Here's the photo edited with Skitch, an awesome annotation tool that was unfortunately killed once EverNote bought it. The picture is also downsized to the same size as Markup, EXIF is stripped, but the quality is maintained.

    Here's side-by-side: Markup vs Skitch

    Interestingly, marking up pictures using Google Photos does not destroy quality and does not resize the image. And it also preserves the EXIF data. But it does mess up the modification date of the image.

    If you care about the quality of your photos, I would recommend you not using Markup. Use Google Photos instead but be aware the modification date is reset back to Unix epoch.

    Xiaomi's Gallery app is keeping all the pics as cache, even the ones you deleted

    Posted: 22 Aug 2021 04:25 AM PDT

    It's easy to find. In your internal storage go to:

    Android/data/com.miui.gallery/files/gallery_disk_cache/small_size

    and

    Android/data/com.miui.gallery/files/gallery_disk_cache/full_size

    Xiaomi's Gallery app keeps every picture there as cache, even the pictures you deleted. Downloaded images, images sent and received through apps, Whatsapp stickers etc. I had thousands of pictures there, some I have deleted more than a year ago.

    I've just found out this problem, but I'm pretty sure the average user have no idea about this so I'm just spreading the word for awareness.

    To stop this from happening you just have to revoke the Gallery app access to your storage.

    [US] How to get a Galaxy Z Flip3 for ~$250 on AT&T

    Posted: 22 Aug 2021 01:56 PM PDT

    I've not seen a lot of talk about AT&T's current deal they have going on regarding both new Galaxy Z devices. I'll be focusing on the Flip for this post, but this deal also applies to the Fold.

    [The deal](www.att.com/deals): Get a Flip3 for free with eligible trade-in

    Now normally, when you see "eligible trade in", you think something crazy like iPhone 12 Pro Max or S21 Ultra, but that's not the case here. Several phones are eligible for the $1,000 trade-in, including the (OnePlus 7T)[https://imgur.com/a/vAyACgO], which you can easily find on Amazon or eBay for $250 or less.

    So, if you're interested in the new Flip and you have or are okay with AT&T, do what I did - purchase a 7T on Amazon/eBay, go to the pre-order page for the Flip, and select the option to trade a device in. Then select the OnePlus 7T, and voila.

    Couple notes about this deal: the $1,000 is spread out in increments of $27.78/month until the $1,000 is reached. The $27.78/month is the installment price of the phone, so you really are getting the device for absolutely free aside from the taxes, which must be paid up front ($70).

    Also, for those interested, the full list of devices that you can trade in for the $1,000 are listed in this photo.

    Just wanted to share for anyone interested.

    Digital Chat Station hints at the revival of the Oppo N series

    If I'm not mistaken, the Oppo N3 was the first device with a rotating camera. The product page is still up if you want to take a look. It also had the coolest notification light at the bottom (called Skyline Notification) that you could see from both sides of the phone. Instead of flashing, it pulses

    It also reminds me of the Oppo Find 7 (the phone the OnePlus One was based on). The skyline notification light is really something else. I wish I had purchased one to experience in person.
