Pixel 3 just thermal throttled while watching yt xd

Youtube forcing 60 fps videos is pretty stupid especially on mobile where the difference in power draw matters. Luckily you can still watch the 30 fps versions with newpipe.

@Haxk20 even if the cost is horrible stutter or video and audio getting out of sync? I have a couple mobile devices that can't play 720p60. So they are stuck at 480p on the official YouTube app. 60fps should be optional like it is when playing on newpipe.

@electrineer you are right but a 1k phone that cant handle it is even more stupid.

I wish my phone would throttle. It just keeps running for a while and then suddenly shuts down. Then I usually have about three seconds of hotspot left to open lots of things on my computer that I want to use while the phone shuts off, cools and turns back on.

@musician I'm talking about my poop tablet

I got an S8 which will play 1440p@60fps no problem in its "sporty" mode. Leave it plugged in under a fan tho 😂😂

@kenogo well I trade in each year so I basically get 50% off and I'm kinda a Google fanboy so that's why I buy it. This is the first time i ever saw that warning but thought it was funny

@kenogo np haha
