Yep, this handheld will be all about subscriptions, ads, and data harvesting.

The hardware will be good and the software will still be buggy like the xboxes because it’s windows and microsoft doesn’t care about making windows a good experience for users. I hope I’m wrong.

Some consoles like to be swaddled every now and then.

I really hope they actually fixed the dock display issues and blank screen problems when waking from sleep or switching displays.

I’ll dig my dock out of the closet, update it, and see what happens. Fingers crossed.

To anyone who hasn’t played this yet, if you buy it on console or mobile, the huge 1.6 patch is set to release November 4th.

From what I have seen, if you can play it on PC, do it, as you can get all kinds of mods and stuff that aren’t available on console. I played it on Switch years ago and then would see youtube videos of people playing the PC version and it looked like a different game altogether.

+1 for Crosscode! I will admit the terrain puzzles can feel tedious after a while, but goodness, this game has great mechanics, story, and charm. One of my favorite games of all time.

I am so excited for the next game coming out by Radical Fish Games.

Nice try! I looked at the Steam reviews with people who had 600+ hours playing this game and said something like “it’s hard and cruel and punishing on a level we as a people have not experienced before” and I knew I would never have the time or patience to play this! 😄

If I scritch my cat just right on a certain spot on her back, she’ll immediately fall over onto her side to accept my offering of more back scritches. It works nearly every time.

My partner gets jealous because the cat refuses to fall over whenever he tries it.

That’s adorable. Mine will get really excited for food sometimes and get all poofy because of it. If she’s extra happy about it, she’ll even hiss.

The 4th Circuit court is out of their minds on this ruling.

Well, fuck Capcom I guess.

“I don’t care if his name is Tux – get him out of here!”

We often have prices changed when a customer reaches checkout.

I know this isn’t your fault or anything but damn, that seems lightly customer hostile at best, and deeply unethical at worst. It sounds like it should be illegal.

OP, Louis Rossmann would love to hear your story. He makes videos about anti-consumer shenanigans like this.

I have an Amazfit Bip 5 with Gadgetbridge and for the most part it works just fine. It even accurately recognizes my bicycle workouts, something my Apple Watch Series 5 could never manage to do. For $80, I am very satisfied.

On the flip side, the Sleep and Do Not Disturb modes let through calendar notifications and sounds no matter what, which is mildly infuriating.

I also deleted the Zepp app after the initial pairing, so maybe that’s part of why my experience is different?

I am in the US and went to Sony’s bootloader unlock page and they say that the US variants of the 1 iv and the 5 iv cannot be unlocked. It doesn’t mention other models until you enter your model from the dropdown list.

INTERESTING NOTE! For anyone interested in the new xperia 1 vi, selecting it from the dropdown list brings up a note that the US and JP variants cannot be bootloader unlocked. Does this mean the 1 vi is coming to the US after all?

Wow, I did not realize this! Thank you for the heads up. That should absolutely be illegal imo.

Hey now, Pandora still pays 0.133 cents per play to the artists like they always have!

Surprisingly, it’s more than Deezer pays (0.11 cents).

So on a good month, 10 to 15 cents of my $5.00 subscription will go to the artists.

…I think I just talked myself out of paying for this subscription any longer.

Unfortunately North Carolina’s current abortion law is 12 weeks. That’s unacceptable.

I think it’s to send a message that many people feel disinterested in the olympics for whatever reason.

For me, I am disgusted that the the olympics have turned into a corporate money making machine. Hosting countries will pick a huge chunk of land to “terraform” into a games site, with little regard to the people who live there or nearby. They’ll displace residents, make people build the infrastructure for low wages and in poor conditions. They’ll spend billions to try and make snow where snow doesn’t naturally occur. The ecological impact alone is massive. There’s also the issue of the housing for the Olympians being substandard and dangerous. I’m not claiming that this happens every time in every country, but it’s certainly a problem and I don’t want to be part of it.

There’s also the issue of banning trans athletes from competing, which continues to be rooted in ignorance and hypocritical disagreements around what we define as fair. (Bring on the downvotes, I don’t care.)

I debated posting this at all because it’s off topic, but the question was asked so I gave my perspective.
