A developer here, I usually list user - facing changes in the Changelog.
Even if the changes are not listed, general “bug fixes and performance improvements” is a worthwhile update too. These updates can contain fixes to annoying UX glitches, or really speed up the app, if a new faster API endpoint was added to the backend, and app change is needed to make use of it. You will also get security updates, to the app and its bundled libraries which is important nowadays.
Google does a lot of A/B testing, so listing new changes may be pointless as the new features may be available only to select few.
Also developers have no incentive to document changes. It’s a hassle to compile a list of changes since last release, and people don’t read the Changelog for every release, especially with auto updates on.
I’d be great if they could at least use an LLM to compile the Changelog
Unusable for me on Fedora. I’m unable to watch movies or videos over network from NAS, have to copy it first
It likely includes stuff like timezones, timers, alarms,supports multiple languages. The update could be fixing a typo in Hungarian translation for all I know, or fix layout for displaying timezones on ultra wide screen 🤷♂️
Software development is complex, even for seemingly most trivial things.
If you take one look at the app on the [windows store](Windows Clock - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store https://share.google/4wV9U8aDXtMySbd0j) and see the screen shots, you’ll understand it does more than display time.
All apps need updates as new features are added. The problem on windows the updates are slow and UX is poor.
Nobody’s complaining about android clock needing updates, because they’re seamless.
“change plans to watch the movie”? As in, i planned to watch it, but now I won’t?
A simple calculator will also beat it at math.
I feel the same about youtube. I pay for premium, but sometimes creators bake in their own ads. I wish youtube would pay creators enough so they wouldn’t have to do it.
You also support big tech by giving them traffic and watching the ads. The only way to not support them is to not use it.
Podcast ads are easy to skip. Still, i pay subscription to my favourite podcast network to support them, and it’s more convenient not having to skip.
I only had a problem with it once, but having no experience with it really confused me.
I was mounting a directory to a docker container and i kept getting permission errors. The errors were not descriptive at all and really confused me as i already had sudo privileges and wasn’t expecting any problems with permission.
Something tells me the companies sabotaged the smaller phones so they can charge more for the giant “pro” devices.
I opted for the smaller pixel 9pro last year because i didn’t have to compromise (it has the same specs as 9pro xl). My previous phone was 7 pro, it was the bigger model and if i went for the smaller 7 model, I’d have to forego the telephone camera.
I really like the smaller 9pro over my previous 7pro phablet. The size ia more manageable, although it’s probably still larger than the early smartphones, but since we moved to touchscreena, larger screens are necessary for typing. The larger size also houses bigger battery necessary to power the display whose resolution has gone way up over the years.
So, Bluetooth?
Isn’t it true of all AI technologies? What makes DeepSeek unique in this context?
If you’re buying on ebay and use PayPal, PayPal provides the consumer protection. That’s been my experience anyway.
“adding a feature” = “forcing”
The profile image is still there, right beside the gemini button, and you can still swipe on it.
You mean you still need a dongle for the dongle?
Too bad full size usb ports have mostly disappeared from laptops, so Bluetooth is the only way. Unless they started making usb C dongles?
Pinephone looks great and the keyboard case seems very ergonomic. Fo you use it as your daily driver?
The UI shows that it’s a drop-up menu, but the menu itself drops down. Definitely a bug, not user error.
I know you’re just suggesting a workaround, but i don’t think the author is asking for one,just highlighting the UI flaw.
