And they will purchase their next phone sooner if the battery on their old phones die early.

This is commonly repeated, but I wonder if the majority of folks are actually against something like a 70% tax rate on $10 million per year in the absence of all other issues.

I think most republicans are actually in favour of such a tax, they just care about the other issues they are told about by their news sources like crime, religion, and immigration more.

There is also a legitimate concern about the tax money being misused or stolen. The amount of taxes already collected per year is already incomprehensibly large, yet society gets almost nothing for it.

Check which codecs your phone supports and buy a Bluetooth dongle that supports an HD audio codec. LDAC and APT-X HD are almost indistinguishable from an aux cable.

But yes, even those codecs max out at a pathetic 900kbs, and only have a few feet of range at that quality/speed.

It basically only protects against hardware failure. It’s not going to protect you from ransomware or even just accidentally clicking delete.

Capcom just started adding game breaking DRM to their archive of old single player Steam games because an exec got butthurt over a nude mod for Street Fighter. Now Steam Deck support is broken and my mods don’t work with games I purchased years ago. The pirated version is now better once again.

At almost the exact same time, Valve sent a DMCA notice to Portal64 because for some reason they care about people playing a homebrew port of a $2 15 year old game on 30 year old hardware.

I used to think Capcom and Valve were two of the last good ones. Turns out there aren’t any good ones…

They spent $350 million making Secret Invasion, which was a bad show in every way. They have no control over their costs, yet they squeeze everyone as hard as they can.

You can get USB micro to USB-C adaptors for about 1 to $2 each. That lets you use a single cable to charge both types of devices, which is the best of both worlds.

4G, 5G and now 6G are worthless if cell providers don’t provide enough bandwidth to the towers. The range also keeps decreasing as the generations increase, so now there are these big gaps that 3G used to cover.

In my area, 5G is slower than 4G and both have lower signal and slower speeds than 3G used to have. I need a dual SIM phone and to constantly switch my phone between AT&T and T-Mobile, and both are crap. I only use about 1GB in total too, and I’m lucky if I can pull more than 1 megabit on either service. I miss 3G speeds, coverage, and competition.

Worst of all, AT&T is forcing home users to switch to a 5G hotspot from DSL. It’s probably a big part of why the cell towers are always overloaded too. Imagine running your home internet on 1 megabit with constant drops…

Trump did put Ajit Pai in charge of the FCC.

A solution to this would be an extra expansion battery that you could buy or rent as an add-on only when needed.

The ocean?

“The fart of the deal”

That’s legit the reason why Lara Croft is the star of Tomb Raider.

Tablets, Netflix, offline video files, and mobile internet all existed 10 years ago.

The only thing that has changed is the level of control you have over the screen and where the content is coming from.

It will happen as you get older. You might not even realize it, and it will start with disliking changes that are objectively bad. But soon it will be changes that are neutral, and eventually changes that are positive but not very positive.

Because the voters aren’t holding their elected officials accountable. People should be following bills like this and voting against politicians that don’t support it. Then holding the ones that said they support it accountable if they don’t follow through (after fully understanding why they didn’t/couldn’t).

People on here call this pandering. Good. Saying that they will do things that benefit society is a good thing. Maybe the problem is with the party that campaigns and the people who give them votes on a platform of hurting society.

They would be struggling a whole lot less if Putin wasn’t actively ripping the USA apart from the inside.

Kids are more open to change than adults.
