I guess with all things, depends on the financial position of the customer.
If you’re stretching yourself to get any phone, then yeah, diminishing returns for forking out $800+ for a flagship.
That being said I’ve owned multiple phones in each price category, and can say that the best phones are unfortunately among the most expensive.
Actually, in 2022 there were 94m barrels produced globally per day. So this is 2%. Statistically, not insignificant. Hopefully it’ll continue to grow rapidly.
I might be mistaken then, but doesn’t part of Net Neutrality mean that telecommunication companies can’t throttle unlimited plans?
I used the phone app and started a chat. Here’s what I asked, and their response:
T-Mobile users; be aware that T-Mobile has prepared for this and are trying to automatically transition grandfathered accounts with unlimited everything into their new plans.
I’m not 100% sure if the coverage of the new plans are technically worse, but they’re definitely more expensive. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the new plans had contact language to do a rug pull in the future.
You need to opt out of the transition.
My Pixel 7a nearly has this. The “Power” button by default does:
In order to actually get the power menu to pop up, you hold the power button + volume up. You can switch the behavior so that a long press can either be the assistant or the power menu, but otherwise not fully configurable. Feels like that would be an easy win to let us do whatever we want with it.
The word “radiation” has unfortunately been commandeered by idiots to mean “TOXIC MAGIC AIR”. Lightbulbs radiate (produce light).
In this case they’re 100% just reducing the gain on the phone’s signal strength. No harm prevented. Purely regulatory.
From what I recall from one of their Directs, Digital Foundry corroborated another outlet’s finding that ultra settings (and I think specifically ultra shadows) are unoptimized. Tons of weird frame time jittering, and like a 15% drop in FPS compared to AMD. So, if you have shadows turned to High or lower, that’ll explain it. Otherwise, what they’re saying is an AMD equivalent would be getting 70-80 fps in your case.
I finally broke the shackles of Baldurs Gate 3, and now I’m playing… Split screen Baldurs Gate 3 with my wife! It’s genuinely just so good…
I can attest that my comment was made in isolation. I intentionally didn’t look at conversations or reviews and wanted a fresh experience all to myself. So I’m not parroting or trying to push some negative narrative.
Now that I’ve slept on it, I’m going to dive back in with my expectations reduced, and I’m hoping I’ll have lots of fun with it.
One thing I can say so far after a few hours is that their advertising department and Inon Zur did a masterful job capturing a whimsical aesthetic that nostalgically reminds me of some educational TV space shows like Cosmos.
Now that I’m playing the game, it feels significantly more clunky than that, and I haven’t gotten as immersed into that aesthetic as I had hoped. Really just FEELS like Fallout in space so far, which is a bit disappointing.
There’s also significantly more load screens than I had hoped. I’ve been spoiled by No Man’s Sky, thought we’d be getting some seamless transitions to planets and cities. Seems bizarre that we just fast travel through the starmap.
Eh, yes and no. It seems to be roughly a 5% reduction in size. So that means that you’re only getting 1 extra save every 20. I was hoping for it to closer to halved, or more.
The reduction in save file size is appreciated, but unfortunately it appears to be rather minimal. Just tested it on a couple of saves - after loading an existing file and immediately savings, looks like it went down from
So, only a 1MiB reduction it seems… So, still need to manage like 15 GiB of save files, lol
I might be missing it, but is there a side-bar to view my subscribed communities? I think on old.reddit, there was a pop-out bar on the left side of the window (but that may have been from RES).
Actually, I see it in the options 😃
Endless Scrolling + Auto Load More
Holy christ, there’s no going back now, lol. This is BEAUTIFUL.
Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?
It’s because Lemmy strips EXIF data. Depending on the phone, rotations are only saved in EXIF data as opposed to saving a new image.
False equivalency. “Addict” has different meaning dependent on the volatility of what you’re addicted to. “Master Race” has one meaning.
My point though is that the implications of both phrases is the same.
“We are part of the glorious PC Master Race” = “We are part of a group of humans who understand PCs are better than any alternative”
One’s more extreme with a stained past (regardless of how subjectively cringey it may sound), the other is not.
Plus, you can set the speed to 1.5x and catch up to live, if you want.
