hey look no more double break after quotes

They addressed that yesterday:

The double-or-nothing line break is the only thing I disliked about the new engine, so Im glad they rectified that.

oh they finally actually added a white box where the text goes instead of it being the same color as the fucking background

the one thing i don't like about it is that you can't just manually format the text.

if you want to <b>bold</b> a word, you have to stop typing, go click the button, type what you want, go click the button again, start typing only to realize you're still typing in bold or whatever because you didn't put a space after the word you wanted formatted, so now you have to erase what you just typed that's erroneously bold, make sure there's a space after the word you did want bold, then go back and click the fucking button

it's annoying.


You know you can just highlight the text and choose whatever format you want it to be in, correct? Its essentially like typing out a document in Microsoft Word.

You cant use wireless charging while your phone still has its case on, so you would have to remove it.


This isn't entirely true though.

Yeah my apologies. I just did a quick research and it says wireless charging still works with the case on, with the bulkier the case being, the slower the charge would be.

I have a wireless charging capable phone but no pad so I cant test it out myself >_>

From Wikipedia:

Inductive charging (also known as wireless charging or cordless charging) is a type of wireless charging that uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects using electromagnetic induction, the production of electricity across a magnetic field. Inductive charging is usually done with a charging station or inductive pad. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device. It is the technology that enables smartphone wireless charging, such as the Qi wireless charging standard.

In simple English, there is a wireless charging pad (accessory sold separately) that you can plug into the socket on the wall. You just put your phone on top of the charging pad and voila, it starts charging. Thats wireless charging in a nutshell.

Not every phone supports this, but most phones from over the past few years should support wireless charging. Honestly I dont think wireless charging is worth the investment yet. Ill wait until the tech improves before thinking of using it.

Wait. What's the yellow things between the grapes and tomatoes? They kinda look like bananas but I ain't ever seen a banana that looks like that. Also there's bananas on the right side so it can't be bananas.

Ginger maybe? The shape between that and the ones in the picture don't look too far off.

I still use Yahoo, lol.

I have both Yahoo and Google accounts, and I find Yahoo better in pretty much every possible way.

In what ways? I can't think of any reason to use Yahoo over Google.

Google still has a 15GB limit on it's mailbox vs Yahoo which got rid of size limits years ago. That is the big thing for me since my Yahoo mailbox is probably at least a TB at this point.

You could also argue being able to move mail items out of your mailbox vs. needing to label then archive them is a much cleaner way to organize your mail.

That said, my Google is still my primary and my Yahoo is just my public e-mail that the entire internet knows and spams me at.

Size hasn't been an issue for me (yet), but I can see how it would affect other people. To be honest I wasn't even aware Yahoo has no limited storage.

Does it? I have never cleaned my gmail, and havent reached a limit. Or a warning I am gettign close

It definitely has a 15GB limit in place, in fact, that 15GB limit is shared across your mail, drive and Google Photos.

Here, have a look at this. I quoted the part that is relevant to this discussion.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/19/18271015/google-drive-photos-storage-space-how-to-get-more

By default, Google gives you 15GB of space to use for everything associated with your account. (If you have a paid G Suite account, your limits likely higher.) That includes content connected to Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos (if youre saving your photos at full resolution). Needless to say, data adds up fast.

Agreed. Some people just enjoy being cheap I suppose.

I dont agree with using a contract though. I prefer to pay all the money upfront so I can have a sense of freedom. Not to mention that overtime, youre actually paying more for a phone on-contract than a phone with no contract.
