Is it just me or is Smart Lock absolutely useless?

I first got introduced to Smart Lock with my Pixel 2. It seemed like a great idea that'd make using my phone at home just a bit easier, but in practice it rarely performed as advertised. I used the location and voice settings, so I'm not sure if one of the others might work better.

I just upgraded to a Pixel 3a and was hoping the newer device might behave a bit better. Honestly, I think it's worse. I have to fingerprint unlock or input my PIN whenever I want to use my phone. I work from home mo...

Thoughts on Xiaomi redmi note 8 pro after a week of heavy usage.

First, I'd like to mention that I have the variant with 8GB ram and 128GB storage.

Alright, let's get started.

First impressions-- It comes with a lot of bloatware and ads integrated in the Miui OS, although not a problem since most of them can be easily removed.

The chipset on this phone is a beast, the mediatek Helio g90t beats the Snapdragon 730 easily. I ran ppsspp emulator (with vulkan) and got an easy 60 fps in God of war-ghost of Sparta without a lot of hacks or enhancements, all the w...

Digital Wellbeing idea: App cooldown

I really like the app time limits on Android, but I think another cool option would be an app cooldown feature which limited the amount of time you spent within one instance of an app.

For example if I'm in reddit for a continuous 30 minutes close the app and lock it for an hour. The time limit and cooldown period could be customized globally or on an app by app basis.

This makes some sense to me in addition to just setting a strict daily limit....

One of the reasons I won't be buying an expensive smartphones is because, finding a genuine replacement battery is difficult or impossible.

When I buy anything that costs more than $500. I want it to last as long as possible. Including phones. About five years, would be ideal. However what's stopping me from doing that, is not able to find a genuine replacement battery for it. I'm happy to be proved wrong, though.

If I'm doing the battery replacement myself. I'd had to settle with either a new-old stock battery (batteries age and deteriorate even not in use), a pulled battery from a broken device (normally, seller don't know how mu...
