Couldn’t agree more!

Hope you are having a good week so far. I wish nothing but joy for a person like you!

I usually don’t comment on these kind of things but the clear lack of understanding is astounding. Shit is different for every phone and manufacture.

Yes I would totally love expandable storage but you know what, there have been android phones I used that didn’t have expandable storage. (Not trying to do “what about” but a simple example showing there are tons of phones that have the same problem)

Xperia 1 III was $1300 when it launched. Not a huge difference but based on inflation that would be $1500 now instead of $999.

Now for the shit almost no one cares about that the iPhone has and have had for years that Xperia 1 III didn’t. (And flame bonus, that some android phones still don’t!!!) All shitty jokes aside, I am sure there are plenty of Android phones that have this, just showing the stupidity in the argument.

• 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio
• 1,000 nits max brightness (typical); 1,600 nits peak brightness (HDR); 2,000 nits peak brightness (outdoor); 1 nit minimum brightness
• 2x optical zoom in
• 5‑core GPU
• 16‑core Neural Engine
• Dolby Vision Video Recording
• Emergency SOS via Satellite

I don’t care about this list either its just random stats I found on the iPhone page that didn’t show up in the Xperia page. iPhone Stats - https://www.apple.com/uk/iphone-16/specs/ Xperia Stats - https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/mobile-phones-tablets-mobile-phones/xperia-1-iii/specifications

Not sure why you are being down voted for asking for clarification. I think based on the tone Nate Cox is making fun of the OG post but based on the comment and lack of clear meaning I understand you question. (Make no mistake I fuck up a comment all the time and miss more than one word in explaining what I am saying. No fault to Nate Cox just all those down voting you)

Ohh man, i am right there with you. It was the same for me with CS however I already had it installed. I wanted to update to 1.6 but I had steam installed and it forced me to update steam before I could update CS. I know they had a lot of growing pains but they eventually did it right due to our struggle.

Kodi has the IR stuff built in from what I remember. At least on windows it did years ago. You just need a “media remote” at one point called windows media remote. It’s a usb or receiver with a regular IR remote.

After a quick google here is a list I found.

Glad I have firefox as well but also looking forward to a cool new project called Ladybird. https://ladybird.org

Not sure if its the right one but glad there are more projects out there trying to jump into the game. (I know extensions are a long way off for it but i see it as hope.)

Also please consider running pihole or adguard home. Or any other full home DNS add blocker. It will help.

Good point. Sorry I wasn’t clear. I only meant that they couldn’t branch out and develop other games like they wanted to. Essentially I was making the same point that you are in terms of what they HAD to develop. MS it was Halo, Sony it’s destiny but in either place they did not have the option to make new IP. At least maybe not till now but that looks more like a forced dev.

I agree with your sentiment, though that Sony is pushing them more in house.

I would generally agree with this statement but I think in this particular case it may be a bad thing. From what I understood of the article they are taking a portion of the Bungie dev team and spinning off to be a part of the Sony game devs. I have a feeling the manage team being taken out had been a big pushback on that.

Bungie wanted to leave Microsoft because they wanted to do new things and not just Halo. Unfortunately it turned out activation screwed them in terms of their development and mad then cut 70% of the D1 story with less than a year to release.

After all that they are eventually bought by Sony that now does almost the same thing MS was doing to them.

Don’t get me wrong, I am glad it’s more managers and corporate office than devs but I have a bad feeling that this is just the start of a bad turn of events for them.

Holy shit! That felt like only 5 fucking years ago. I feel it now

It also broke windows the other day…

😂

I am going to do a bit of transitive properties here. - Talking about family = family plan to me.

So for both services we are talking 6 devices streaming their own accounts for $20 a month.

At the point in our argument there is no huge difference between the two to be honest. Same price for the same services for Music. They both provide good audio and playlist function. (lossless audio on normal speakers and car speakers doesn’t do much unless we are talking about $$$ cars/home audio and at that point this conversation isn’t happening)

The big difference for me is that we have apple mobile devices. (I tried Android some time ago but didn’t like that each company had their own skin and updates depended on how each company felt at the time. The nexus I had was great and was straight from google no extra crap but even that had a 2-3 year span though so no different than Apple for me at the time)

With Apple one (6 devices for apple music), every family member gets Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple arcade. For me this put it over the fence. Kids get more games I don’t have to pay for and we get an extra streaming service I don’t have to pay extra for won it for me.

Essentially extra value won it for me. Not just the music service.

Cool. We need more states to do this. Cops do have a lot of laws and rules they need to know but a one hour class seems like it can’t hurt.

Even with a “clean” record they still shouldn’t get their guns back. Ignoring all second amendment arguments just look at how they are holding their guns in the main picture. They are in no way trained or even given half assed knowledge in how to hold a fire arm.

For all those who did not read or at least skim the article. FlyingSquirrel is referencing Trumps claims that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force when conducting their UnCoNsTiTuTiOnAl raid.

I love that you were accurate with your placement.

Honestly I actually had not thought about people sitting around waiting to charge. In my area there are tons of chargers, grocery store, Costco, the mall, movie theaters. My experience had been that people would charge while doing other things. Thanks for the insight into a good use for it.

Why is a car capable of playing games in the first place. I understand it’s not going to allow people to play while they drive but still. That just seems like an odd/bad idea.

So instead of just having cancer, you’ll have cancer and be a criminal.

If that’s true, isn’t that considered counterfeit and thus federal prison?
