So… is it an obsession to want to be at least <100? Asking for myself. Send help :D

I get consistently better results on steamdeck vs PC due to lower controller latency.

Before you start establishing a working group to assess the impact of creating a commitee to judge the effect of switching to replacable cells, what if…

What if the companies just packed a few universal rechargable cells with their product? I meam the charging circuit is already a part of the design.

So the google can spy on anyone’s phone calls without a consent (google screening), but if you want to record your own phone calls, there needs to be a mandatory warning. Makes total sense :D

edit: but at least this enables automatic call recording, not just a button, plus automatic deletion of old recordings. This is actually pretty useful.

That sounds like a fancy speak for a Trusted Platform Module. Isn’t some kind of TPM mandatory to obtain a google certification for a new device?

The dawn of the 4G will forever be remembered as the time our civilization forgot how to make phones that can make phone calls. I feel embarrassed every time I randomly think about VoLTE.

you’re not going to have much luck convincing anyone.

Oh boy, how I wish you were right.

No way, I thought the thrill of browsing sketchy appstores to find the other half of the ACR phone was part of the fun.

For those out of the loop - ACR phone is a dialer app that does call recording. It’s distributed through the play store, but without the call recording part, because that would be against the ToS. Once installed, it instructs you to go find the other app that serves as an accessibility module with access to the microphone. And by that I mean ONLY your microphone. The other side of the call is recorded only as an echo of the speaker caught by your own mic.

You should apply for a marketing position in broadcom. The people responsible for the vmware software suite just love to do stunts like this.

I record all my phone calls. It allows me to pretend not to forget all the names, dates, places and other important details we just talked about with the other person as soon as the call ends.

This post has less upvotes in the politics community, where it belongs, than here. Why?

A favor is just a form of debt, and debt is money. It does not matter whether it’s written down on paper, or just remembered.

Wait. Bitpay is still around? That was the company Valve has used before. It was the de-facto standard for every eshop accepting bitcoin. Until they decided to implement identity checks, and only support payment from wallets implementing certain protobuf-based payment protocol. Which made them slide into obscurity pretty fast.

It was the support cost as far as I remember. Way too many people were too confused about how Bitcoin works.

Volatility was not the concern, at least for Valve. They’ve utilized a payment gateway that just swapped the BTC to USD right away. Which was still a single point of failure, but in case of bitcoin, the company switching a payment gateway does not affect the UX for the customer as much.

Next up: Un-inventing fire!

It is a buerocratic nightmare, but filthy bolsheviks has zero rights to criticize it.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Capitalism, is in fact, Fascism, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Government with Benefits.

Do we want mandatory ID checks? Because this right here is the way to get them.

There was no $70 alternative back then. There is now. Hell, my first smart watch was 30€.
