On the 8 series and up. Apparently the Tensor and Tensor G2 are too weak to handle this feature or something /s

Yeah, it's not uncommon to do that, it's just that I'd expect better from a tech website.

It's an AMD GPU, so how does it have anything to do with RTX, which is a marketing name for a bundle of Nvidia technologies including the CUDA compute framework, an AI framework, and of course a ray tracing API (which games generally don't touch, because that would limit their ray tracing implementation only to Nvidia GPUs)?

However, for most people, the 5-a-day limit might actually provide a better framework for taking high-quality images. This limit makes you think more about your shots, so it could be useful to improve. your composition, timing, and framing.

See, it's pro-consumer. Lol

OK, so the current dev implementation seems to make accessing notifications one-handed nearly impossible? You need to reach somewhere to the left half of the upper edge to pull them down - the top right corner is already far enough from my thumb most of the time to be a bit inconvenient to pull down on.

And I hope they bring back some quick toggles to the notification screen, it would be awful to have to go to the full quick settings menu just to turn on the flashlight, lol.

If you keep your Pixel plugged in for a few days, it will give you an option to limit charging to 80% (or maybe just turns it on on its own, not sure about that). There's no other way to activate it currently, but that should change soon (the Adaptive Charging option will have three options instead of just on/off).

As far as I was aware AMDGPU is used by default on most if not all distros

I really don't think that's the case, assuming you're talking about AMDVLK (amdgpu is the kernel module used by all three Vulkan drivers - RADV, AMDVLK and the Vulkan driver from AMDGPU-PRO). Ubuntu and Fedora definitely default to RADV, and Arch Wiki recommends RADV unless you need something from the other drivers.

I noticed a performance increase after forcing RADV on NixOS so not really sure.

NixOS seems to default to RADV according to their Wiki. If this was a few years ago then maybe you might be confusing it with the ACO shader compiler for RADV? That brought a significant performance increase and eventually became the default in RADV. I remember using custom Mesa (the project that develops open source graphics drivers, like RADV and radeonsi) builds to massively reduce stuttering in DirectX games.

I personally chose RADV after looking into this myself and the only drawback from my understanding is that they are proprietary drivers.

RADV is the open-source community developed Vulkan driver. It has the widest hardware support of the three Vulkan drivers and is generally the best for gaming.

AMD provides two more Vulkan drivers - AMDVLK is the open-source one available in AMDGPU, then there's the unnamed proprietary Vulkan driver in AMDGPU-PRO. The biggest advantage of the proprietary one is that it is certified - doesn't matter most of the time, but when it does, a missing certification is a deal breaker.

Pixels never had the SD card slot

Since the phones have water resistance, they are technically designed to work under water

Oh, so a device that offers no warranty in case of water damage (because you're not supposed to expose it to water) can use an IP certification as a loophole to completely avoid this law? That's not good

As @Treeniks@lemmy.ml pointed out, the author considers something as small as spawning a separate process for each window to mean a "non-native experience" (wait till they see how web browsers work)
