So... No news is no news.

I'm away at the moment, won't be coming back until Friday, then have plans Saturday... It's going to be tight.

Great timing having this in the F1 summer break though. Something to look forward to!

I should be in for all of this. Any race I miss I'm happy to steward. I'm going to suck for week 1 as I'll have had little to no time to practice a track I've never raced, in a car I've never raced, in a sim I've never raced.

I'm so excited for it!

Sync for Lemmy will be available soon. It's much nicer than Connect.

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

No worries. I updated the OP with the link. Have unpinned and pinned it again.

I've had my S21U for 2.5 years so far. Only thing it needs is a new battery.

Upgrades aren't exactly revolutionary these days. For the masses, there little difference between a 2021 and a 2023 flagship. Also everyone is skint.

So when using this test video there is noticeable judder at 24fps. Playing back at 1.25x (30fps) is as smooth as you'd like. Performance is very similar to an S21 Ultra if that's a useful reference. Of course, this is a long horizontal panning shot, which I know to be the worst for judder. I'd bet my LG C1 would struggle with it.

When watching modern films, I find that these kind of shots occur less. I can't say I've really noticed judder whilst watching films on this device. Clearly it does happen, but it's not something that has bothered me personally. I would say I'm the kind of person to notice any inconsistency in presentation of video, be it judder, stutter, bad frame timing, micro-stutters in games, low bit rate etc... So make if that what you will.

If I were at home if film it for you, but there's very megre Internet where I currently am.

The screen is vibrant, bright enough and has OLED contrast.

Sound is OK, nothing to write home about, but it's on par for a device this size. If you go the Lineage route, I'd recommend using Flat Equalizer to raise the bass and some mids for a fuller sound more akin to the One UI tuning.

I use this for F1 (50fps), football, movies, TV, and YouTube and I really like it. For the £80 I spent, I'm delighted. Only get 5 or 6 hours SoT, which might be a downer, but it's an old used battery so what else do you expect?

Yup. The UI isn't quite as nice, and I wish there was a cast button elsewhere than the Play screen.

Otherwise, I have this weird bug where a podcast will start streaming locally a few minutes after starting playback on a cast target. Cast target continues to play so idk what that's all about.

Dumb mistake from him, but he'll hopefully learn from it.

Counterpoint, we are mostly not watching history being made.
