Just a reminder that A Link to the Past Randomizer exists and is also quite fun

This game good? I’m not a fan of survival or horror games but I am from the PNW, so does seem interesting to play a game version of home

Night of the full moon is a good card roguelike. They’ve recently added modes that play like hearthstone and other card games too

Peglin is a good peggle spin off

Solitarica is a solitaire roguelike

Solomons keep/boneyard are fun dungeon crawler roguelikes

Pawnbarian is a chess roguelike

I mean the vivo fold 3 is $500 cheaper than the fold 6, I’d say that’s some major value. And again from everything I’ve seen the software is basically up to snuff now. They all have flex mode, great multi window support (probably better on the vivo with 16gb of RAM), gapps support. I basically monitor equipment for work so I do literally nothing unless something breaks. With that my phone is my main entertainment device. In the video I linked, the battery benchmark he ran had the vivo fold beat the Samsung by almost 4 hours; even if that’s not real world I’m sure it still outpaces the fold 6 significantly. My SOT is pretty normally like this, so any improvement in battery would be great… Which Samsung hasn’t done in 3 years. And fully charged in like a third of the time too.

The deals and support come back to what I said in my initial comment, that’s why I haven’t pulled the trigger. But man I wish I could.

I mean I guess I’ve never actually used one but every video I’ve seen from people like flossy Carter and such only rave about them.

I watched this yesterday and it made the vivo seem pretty much like a clear win. Basically the only thing Samsung has going for it is the software. And I’m sure in its home market this thing crushes the fold

Same. As a foldables guy, literally any Chinese folding phone looks leagues ahead of the z fold. I would love to get something like the vivo x fold 3 but warranty and cellular compatibility spook me. Samsung has me held hostage here in the states

Also available drm free on GoG for the same price

Tachij2kfriends, I saw the mihon dev post somewhere that tachij2k shouldn’t be used anymore. Is there a reason for that? Everything is still working on my end, and until it doesn’t I intend to just keep using tachij2k unless there’s a good reason not to. I also read somewhere that the Dev for j2k said he was gonna make some changes, but I wasn’t able to verify that… Anyone know anything more? Thanks

Where are you guys sourcing your manga? I’ve bought a few on Amazon and converted them to epub. I also have some raws from bookwalker but as far as I can tell their stuff is super locked down. Where else could I acquire manga?

The 6P was the pinnacle of android for me. Beautiful design, backside fingerprint reader, and still a cheapish price before Google started with their pixel nonsense (actually made me go iPhone for a few generations because I was so pissed at what they ditched the nexus line for). But yeah, just a great culmination of android being in a good place, hardware, and nostalgia.

Samsung’s is pretty useless though… Just says “good.” Now idk if there’s more details that populate when it’s bad but just having a single word doesn’t really fill me with confidence. Would be nice to see some more stats.

Green/blue bubbles is just a simple way to say sms sucks. Besides those stories about teens getting social pressured, all anyone cares about is basically just sending photos that don’t look like they were taken 20 years ago.

Thanks for the response. I would just like to say even if an update did do that, that still doesn’t have anything to do with how to remove it… When I posted this, I was hoping there was just some setting I was missing.

Thanks for the serious reply, I appreciate it! Now that you mention it, me having a fold must definitely be it. For some apps when I highlight text, the menu sometimes spans almost the whole screen. And again, thank you for the tips you provided for the software side. Unfortunately, I’m a hardware guy so diving into any of that seems impossible to me haha.

What I did find however, is a possible solution though. To originally remove the Amazon search button, I had to reinstall the app. This worked for a few hours, but at some point it came back on its own. Doing some more sleuthing, I realized that Samsung (maybe it’s an android thing too though?) has a deep sleep function. Basically, you can deep sleep an app so it’s essentially disabled until you open the app again. So even going into the system’s app list in settings, it now lists Amazon as “disabled.” So no running in the background and I suppose telling other apps it’s installed so they can display that search button. I only just discovered this while posting, so while the button is removed now, it remains to be seen if it’ll stay working.

This set up works for me since the app stays easily accessible in my app drawer, and as far as I can tell, still works perfectly fine upon launching. So I can still use it for my required use cases. Now if you need your apps to function in the background this may not be a solution. I wish there was just a simple setting is settings somewhere that addressed what and in what order appears in this menu. That would simplify a lot of things. Just another reminder of how we own nothing anymore… In any case, thanks for the response. Hope this can help you too.

I mean I figured it out in the end, but I didn’t know if there was a setting somewhere that controlled what went in that menu. Still can’t find an answer to that.

Very true, I’m sure there are some manufacturers that have sold out, and incorporated amazon search into their OS. Even with that though, that just addresses the reason why it’s there, not the question I asked: how to get rid of it. Thanks for the response though, I appreciate it.

I mean the question posed I figured you could glean enough that more info would be redundant. I don’t see how Amazon being on a right click menu would be reliant on an OS update. As for what apps it was in, again, I figured since I asked for the right click menu, it would be apparent that every right click menu was showing that, since all apps have that same menu. And the other two questions I had answered already.

As someone who works in tech support I understand the pain of dealing with uninformed users. I figured though if someone asked a technical question on a site as obscure as Lemmy, on an android forum, that would give some credit to the fact that I’m not just some schmuck with a Galaxy a54. Instead I was getting comments on why I use Amazon. I mean come on lol, not everyone is living a foss/privacy guaranteed life.

Always love an adversarial tone when I ask for help. Android 13 on fold 5, every app, answered the other questions already.

Never pre ordering anything for any reason ever has been a pretty good piece of advice to live by, I’ve found.
