I do love the idea of having a 10" tablet that fits into my pocket.

I'm still waiting for the tech to mature more, come down in price, and increase in durability though.

Hoo boy, bringing religion into a "false or exaggerated history" thread...

Technically you're using it to buy a house, so I guess that qualifies as spending it?

But also because that's the only way evil in the story can actually exist, and thus actually reflect the suffering and conflict in real life. The Triple-O God can't exist, as evidenced by gestures at everything

Even if the Christian God was real, Omnibenevolence is the first characteristic to be dropped, as the Bible already depicts a cruel, wrathful, egotistical and petty God.

Superman was created in 1938, so it's not surprising that he'd end up fighting Nazis within a few issues

Most games from that era were arcade games or designed from an arcade mindset. They are designed to extract the maximum number of quarters from kids pockets as possible.

You may as well ask me to throw away me phone entirely. I don't carry a smartphone to make phone calls. I hate phone calls.

95% of that is spam. And an old dumbphone won't even have auto spam detection.

I use my phone to take pictures, send those pictures, look for restaurants, navigate to those restaurants, listen to music, etc.

So what you're asking for is to make the part I hate about phones worse, while removing all the functions I actually use my phone for.

Meh, they're basically living tourist attractions these days with no more political power than a movie star.

Some of the smaller 4k sets work as an XXL computer monitor

But for a living room tv, you seriously need space for a 120"+ set to actually see any benefit of 8k. Most people don't even have the physical space for that

To be fair, I wouldn't expect an elite combatant when I look at Emily Blunt.

On one hand, Musk.

On the other hand... Telecos.

You can either give billions more to the world's richest asshole, or you can give billions to companies that already received that money last time and did absolutely fuckall with it.

Lose-lose

 

From my understanding, the P8P's video boost can't be done in the phone itself, but it's actually uploading the video to Google's servers, processing it there, then downloading the finished product back again. In fact, it probably uploads two videos, one at high ISO and one at low ISO to get the full HDR range.

For anyone who wants to take lots of videos, this sounds like it'll blow through your data caps very quickly.

 

Big jump for the regular 8 but no increase at all for the pro?

 

Looking at the details listed from this leak, it looks like all the previous leaks were wrong. The specs for the main sensor are the same as the P7, the Samsung GN1 sensor.

Also rumors of the IMX787 ultrawide appear to be incorrect as well, only 48MP instead of 64.
