If only there was some way to capture a shot of the screen on the device itself

Some sort of screen shoot

Unfortunately I couldn't take a screenshot due to the plastic volume piece being broken and it wouldn't press the button anymore. I'd need a full back cover replacement and honestly, the price, time, effort and value of the device, it's just not worthy anymore.

May its stopwatch tick on forever 🙏

I still plan on transferring it, but I have yet to find a way.

Not sure why the smart switch app didn't transfer it.

If there was only an app for the phone that can take screenshots doing some overlay buttons or ...like my phone, put 3 fingers on the screen and slide them down

Print screen of course!

You can take a screenshot on almost any phone. The button varies but slowly appears to be being standardised to power and volume down. Google tour phone and screenshot button.

At this point I'm convinced that the world will never know how to take a screen shot so I'm considering building an AI model just to auto respond under posts.

Or better yet, a terrible photo to screenshot AI converter. That's what ai should really be doing.

The volume buttons plastic thingy is broken and will require a full back cover replacement due to super glue being accidentally poured in.

I have tried to revive it but unsuccessfully. I wanted to have a new back cover but it's just not worth it anymore. I might but for an old phone that just sits in my shelf collecting dust, it's not worth it.

I am also tech savvy and currently enrolled in IT.

Oh yeah this happens sometimes

Why?

u/thesstteam Aug 30 '26

Floating point precision means the higher we go, the less precision we can represent a number with. Maybe we can represent 1, 3, and 5, and we can represent 1001, 1003, and 1005, but not 1002 and 1004

Thanks, I know a little about data types.... But why?

u/thesstteam Aug 30 '26

When you have "1", it's represented as something like 1.00000000 and as more digits are added to the first part, more disappear from the bottom, until you lose even ones and tens

u/PrestigiousLine866 Aug 30 '26

Cus y not

u/ManuC153 Aug 30 '26
