What's the issue with PIA? I've used it for quite a while and am quite happy with it.

The choice that surprised me was them recommending 1Password ($40/year) over Bitwarden ($10/year, solid free plan).

The user reported events don't directly affect routing AFAIK.

I share your experience though, no problems for me yet. Their FAQ ~~heavily~~ mentions that you should contact them in case any of the data is wrong.

Welp I will once again try for Hogwarts Legacy.

As for a meme, this isn't mine and it's kinda old but it really managed to stick in my head:

Thank You very much for this giveaway and your work moderating this community!

From reading the Magic Earth FAQ, I believe the user data actually isn't used for traffic at all (at least the manually reported events certainly aren't).

Edit: never mind I missed a later part in the FAQ:

Do you share data with third parties?

We send position data to our traffic provider to generate real-time traffic information. The data is anonymized on the phone, using a changing key (so it's not linked to you), and it is deleted after 5 minutes.

Source, Settings and Quick Settings are buttons I find myself using quite often. Also the numbers do come in handy every now and again, as someone who still occasionally watches live TV.

Now the Samsung remote does have an "Extra" button, but last time I tried using that on a friends TV it told me "this functionality is unavailable". After 3 minutes of searching, I finally gave up on setting the TV to Game Mode and instead just lived with the input lag.

The fact you have to watch out for a physical volume knob nowadays is wild. Imo the shitty implementation winner is by far Renault with the ZE50 EV. Its radio has a permanent volume touch button, which opens a new view with touch buttons for volume up and down.

Whichever Renault engineer or executive thought that this was a good idea in any way, shape or form deserves many punches to the face. Apparently later models now have permanent touch buttons for volume up and down, which I guess is at least slightly better (although still horribly inferior to a knob).

It's worth noting that there are steering wheel volume buttons for the driver, but it's still horrible and sucks for passengers.

Dude I have such a hate for the "new" Samsung Smart TV remote. They literally took away all but the BARE essential buttons. And for what ??????? Does the remote look cool and sleek now? Maybe? But I can't fucking use it anymore.

Meanwhile LG is being a chad: they keep all the buttons, but additionally give me a super cool and convenient pointer (LG remote for comparison).

The first quote is taken out of context:

Not only are privacy and data protection founding principles for both Mobifree and F-Droid, the use of tracking-based in-app advertising poses a moral dilemma as well. If someone wants to gain access to an app, but does not have the financial means to purchase it, they can use it at a different kind of price - their user data.

For me this reads as them explaining and condemning that dilemma, instead of considering it as an option for F-Droid.

This, I use a normal helmet in summer and my skihelmet in winter (although I originally got it for skiing).

Yes definitely, here's my Steam 'Local Multiplayer' collection:

Nintendo also has some great couch co-op games,for example:

  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
  • Nintendo Switch Sports
  • Super Mario Party

I also very much agree with the other commenter here, it's such a shame that couch co-op is dying. The only ones still believing in it seem to be Nintendo.

Another game that's fun to play is Unravel 2, but for me the Steam version had all sorts of problems so I ultimately ended up refunding it again.

If the main battery isn't "meant to be replaced", it will often act as the CMOS battery (e.g. MacBooks have been doing this since roughly 2008).

I find it even more puzzling as surely it has to be a decent increase in server demand to constantly be streaming video. How can that be worth it??

I very recently bought a used Pixel 6 with a replacement screen, not thinking too much of it. I even made sure that the screen looked good during pickup.

One thing I missed though, was that apparently my Pixel doesn't have a fingerprint sensor anymore. I did some research, apparently it's quite easy to break the fingerprint sensor (or some places simply just don't include a sensor in the repair?) when replacing the screen.

Today I also noticed (through Show refresh rate in developer options) that my screen will only do 60 Hz as well.

Also I have stupidly high battery drain, I'm not 100% if that's related though.

Long story short, learn from my mistakes and either don't buy a used phone with a replacement screen or carefully test all functionalities associated with the screen, mainly high refresh rate and the fingerprint sensor.
