I Tracked The Amount Of Time To Charge The Pixel Buds 2, And Here Are The Results (posted in r/googlepixel as well)

[Plots](https://i.imgur.com/moMvli0.png)

I let the buds drain; this resulted in the right bud draining to empty while a the left bud still had 10%. I then put them in the charging case and tracked the charge status at 1 minute intervals for the first 10 minutes, then every 5 minutes until the buds reached around 80%, then every minute after that.

* **They get about 20% charge in the first 5 minutes!!** Then about 40% within the first 10 minutes. This really is in line with Google's claim of...

Are we (and all the tech reviewers) counting Android support times wrong?

After constantly hearing about how iPhone SE gets 5 years of support, while Pixel phones get only 3 years and others get 2 years, it got me thinking: is everyone counting the support years wrong? Because if not, how come the Galaxy S7 sitting in my drawer just received a March 2020 security update? And how come iPhone 5s received a bug fix update like 5 weeks ago?

I realized that there's a big difference between how long the phones are up-to-date in terms of having the latest OS, and how long t...

OnePlus justify the addition of Netflix and Facebook by saying they're adding it for enhancing HDR video playback and higher battery efficiency respectively

OnePlus recently added a [subsection to their forum](https://forums.oneplus.com/forums/ideas/) named ["IDEAS"](https://www.oneplus.in/communityideas#/). They stated the goal was to take the best ideas by listening to their community and implementing it on their products. They actually went out of their way to explain their thought process behind some of the ideas they accepted and also provided an explanation for some ideas that were rejected.

appending to video files is what has been missing from camera apps for a long time now

I recently watched some old tapes from 1998 that were recorded on a Hi8 video cassette. What struck me, is that they are geniuinely interesting to watch, as back in the day, you basically cut your video while you record it. You can sit down and watch those videos in a single sitting without lifting a finger, literally, they are cut together already. Today, you have multiple single video files, and it's just a pain in the neck if someone shows you multiple videos and you have to wait for the othe...

Android vs iOS - Software updates

Hi,

Flashed latest LOS 17.1, GApps micro with LOS recovery on my Oneplus6,

All good, No issues. However i do see many apps are unavailable for installation on playstore, apps like Netflix, CAMS says "This app is not compatible for your device".

Its not an issue any more for me as i have reverted back to stock OxygenOS. However i am very much keen to have LOS on my phone because someday or another Oneplus will stop software support for Oneplus6. Custom ROM is only way to keep OS updated. But ...
