Query regarding charging speeds
  • Some devices taper off their fast charging faster than others. It doesn't have to be at 80%. Just as an example you can see the charts in the charging review for the S24 Ultra here: https://www.chargerlab.com/charging-review-of-samsung-s24-ultra/. A fun fact is that since Samsung 45W tapers off so much there isn't much difference compared to their 25W charging. The difference is 10mins at best. Sometimes the 45W can be just a hair slower even.

  • Five years later, ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are finally coming to more Android phones
  • I'm gonna have to say no to that. I love my ultrasonic sensor. It works when wet and is in a way more reachable location (the screen). No need to reach behind the phone or stretch your finger to unlock, no need to lift your phone when it's on a table. The success rate is basically identical and it's lightning fast, even faster than a physical sensor. The final perk is it doesn't create a large circle opening on the back of a case so the back of your phone is totally smooth save for the camera.

  • Down with under-screen fingerprint sensors!
  • The reader being under the screen makes the most sense in my opinion. It's the part of the phone you touch the most. And speed is a non issue anymore. Ultrasonic sensors are about as fast if not faster than the old capacitive ones now. They're also as accurate in my experience and after a while I've learned to put my finger exactly where it is so it's a non issue. It also unlocks when my finger is wet unlike the older capacitive ones which is huge for me. So in conclusion I disagree. Fingerprint sensors should be in display and ultrasonic.

    Hi, I'm back with an update! My boy is almost done with the treatment! He's doing really well! One more shot left!

    He's back to his playful self (yay!!!). He's running around, jumping, chasing stuff! Overall, he's just a lot more mobile. Also, he's gotten a lot more affectionate around me these past 4 days. Do you think he understands that by bringing him to the vet, I'm helping him feel better?

    Went to the vet yesterday since my boy was acting weird. Turns out he was showing very mild signs of paralysis.

    Vet said he needed shots to boost his nerves and if he doesn't respond well in a couple days he'll do an X-ray and decide on a further course of treatment. He's back to purring in my lap again. Hug your kitties extra tight for me tonight.
