It's okay. You did the same as me but skipping the steps where you spend the money on a switch, and then leave it in a drawer when you get tired of games that play at 27 FPS, which you're lucky if you manage to get with a 20% discount after tracking them on dekudeals for months.
the shutdown command was a warning not a request.
Such wise words.
This assumes everything works fine. It's probably an edge case, but on my Nexus 6P an update somehow messed with my encryption keys, and the screen lock pattern that I'd used for over a year stopped getting recognised. I can't remember the solution but I vaguely remember having to factory reset. Whatever the solution was, it wasn't too different to what a thief would do... I was bypassing the screen lock after all.
I think you meant new iPhones* don't have it. There are new models coming out every year with a headphone jack.
You can still get a Sony Xperia 1 VI, or a 5 VI, or a bunch of mid range devices with headphone jack. There are offerings with headphone jack, so if you want one, you can get one.
Now the problem is we love to complain but not put our money where our mouth is. Has the lack of headphone jack made the iPhone sales suffer? No, they've gone up. Does Samsung sell fewer Galaxy's? Nope. Is the Xperia range a massive success because they have a headphone jack? Not by any stretch of imagination...
...because most people don't actually care enough to vote with their wallet instead of yapping away while they buy a jack-less phone anyway.
I probably should have written padel/pickleball. It's similar to padel tennis but with a hollow ball, it's been gaining traction at a crazy pace in the US and slowly making it into Europe. It's been slowly taking over padel, which used to be The Sport for office workers who want to make sure they're practising a sport, want to make sure they can tell you they're practising a sport, but they don't want something that will get their heart past 130 BPM.
No hate though - if it gets people doing a sport it's a good thing. Just don't tell me every day that pickleball is the best, we need to play pickleball, when are we going to join you for the pickleball match, you need to play pickleball because the CTO of this other company is coming so therefore it's work - this has actually happened to me, etc.
Padel crew are a bit less vocal, but not by much. I feel this is a bit country-specific. When I lived in Spain, padel was the rage, and in the US it was pickleball. In the UK I don't see much of either.
Nowhere near as much as people who do CrossFit, people who play pickleball, or air fryer owners.
In most of Europe, the prices of Model 3's match pretty well those of the Polestar 2. The difference in build quality between those two is night and day. The Tesla feels like a Chrysler/Dodge Neon in comparison, with leather being the only concession whatsoever to niceness.
The fact that in Europe somehow they're "premium" and not budget cars within their category blows my mind.
Also while they're repairable and they have that going for them, Google also promises 7 years of updates, so they're not even unique on that selling point.
God this is equally terrible and hilarious 😂
For example, The Associated Press reported that an official Meta AI chatbot inserted itself into a conversation in a private Facebook group for Manhattan moms. It claimed it too had a child in school in New York City, but when confronted by the group members, it later apologized before its comments disappeared, according to screenshots shown to The Associated Press.
Oh that's rich. So what they're saying is somehow every other smartwatch company can engineer not only a way to solve the technical limitations, but a full smartwatch in under three years, while one of the most powerful tech companies somehow thought "naah, connecting to android is a lot more difficult than a self driving car or a VR headset with an integrated computer and video passthrough, we better shelve that idea".
Yeah ok Apple.
These assholes used to spy on people - their app used to keep users' microphones open, so that together with location, they could detect whether bars were airing football matches, and try to find unlicenced ones.
I really hope they don't get away with deleting apps from people's phones.
I think 60 fps at 4K with raytracing are maybe PS6 specs, not PS5 pro. I hope I'm wrong, but I'll believe it when I see it.
