Thoughts on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold!

[@philwood1788]

10% of 215M is 21.5M. 2M is about 1% of Brazils population, not 10%. Just to note!

[@dang3304]

Math aside, it's disappointing that David decided to speak about the situation in Brazil without understanding any of the details. I assume he just wanted to bash Elon Musk or promote Bluesky, but in doing so he whitewashed the servere authoritarianism and corruption present in the Brazilian political and judicial systems and counterproductively attacked one of few people trying to bring attention to this issue. Censoring political opponents is a serious problem, ignoring the constitution to do so is a serious problem, issuing fines and threats of incarceration to X's representatives even though they broke no laws is a serious problem.

[@sergiomurilofcosta]

​@@dang3304 i disagree actually, Elon is wrong by not respecting brazilian law. Free speech has its limit when it disrepects The law. He needs to understand that X is not above The law here.

[@thetruth8567]

@@sergiomurilofcostaman shut up and actually read about what happened. Elon and X were actually upholding the law and the “justice” was violating the heck out of the Brazilian constitution.

[@micahbarnard18]

​@@dang3304was just thinking the same thing. Really disappointing. These guys suck at politics. They need to stick to what they're good at. Even Brownlee was so much better when he was just open and unbiased. The Elon hate is distracting and a big turn off. Do better guys.

You know your podcast works when the "star" is not in an episode and it is yet awesome! Good job guys, really enjoy this every Friday

Marques did an amazing job of gathering a group of people that we all love! We started watching for Marques but enjoy everyone else as well and can even go a bit without Marques in the content, which is for some reason not the same as I feel about LTT...

It's more likely I won't listen to an episode without Ellis or David than one without Marques.

Ellis doing the sponsor reel is probably your best bet. I hate ads… hell, we all hate ads, but I watched all of them to completion because his delivery is so sincere. Let this man cook more often Edit: grammar

[@PabloAddante]

I listened to the entirety of the ads this episode. Ellis should always read them from now on.

[@Leanzazzy]

22:31 This sounds like something from a horror movie. It sounds like distorted screams of pain 😢 The fact that it came from a spaceship while in space makes it even creepier. Also, Ellis is the best person to narrate ads after Marques. His enthusiasm and upbeat tone actually makes you interested and want to keep listening.

[@davidyoung623]

Hearing about Bluesky, my very first thought was _because_ of your recent video.

I just want to mention that Starlink is more popular than people usually believes, like world wide. Here in Venezuela there are places that are remote, like beaches (Morrocoy) or mountains (Andes) were people manage to smuggle the antennas, Starlink is not officially legal over here but nothing can stop it from working once you get it.

There's a call-out on the "Charge your phone with a Pixel Stand" page the shows a diagram of the Fold's charging coil, which is below the center logo on the back of the phone. I think it's kind of unfortunate because now I can't charge my phone on a wireless charging stand unless I prop it up an inch.

[@yanhaowang4736]

I've been using a camera app that has minimal processing called "pro shot". Highly recommend, been getting some really good images on both s24 ultra and pixel 9 pro xl with this app. Only downside is when it's really dark, it doesn't do a good job of noise reduction compared to the stock camera app

Yeah. I really hated how he explained the issue as some legitimate ban and portrayed Elon/X as the bad guy in the story.

It’s not as simple as banning opposition. Those people were accused of spreading fake news! You can make the argument that free speech protects fake news if you want, but don’t paint the scene as a case of blatant political censorship.

The weight of the lens is mainly in the glass itself, so I doubt it's going to save you much weight. It could save room I guess, but like you were pointing out, the glass portion's size variance is so great I don't know how you could come up with a common body.

My question for the fold is whether or not the inner screen size difference is noticeable. From what I've gathered, its 0.4 inches bigger. Which just sounds like they shrunk the bezel and made it fold candy bar instead of taco. It looks like if you turned the original sideways and put it over the new pro fold (both open), they would be the same size.

[@darrsil]

I'm sure you've been inundated with comments on this, but Android 15 is not yet out for any Pixel. They release the source for it but it's not rolling out to Pixels until October. Also, the "Dex" mode that was rumored to come to Android 15 was just an experiment, or at least Google says. It's not an official feature, at least not for Android 15.

[@KenFat2]

Question: you mentioned that the aspect ratio makes it just like two phones next to each other when opened will Google do some kind of software update to enhance the viewing experience when you’re watching movies or KZbin or if you turn it sideways does that make the picture bigger on movies or KZbin videos?
