I’m not one hundred percent sure, but the email I got from Epic says they’re refunding the legendary upgrade and that Redstone shards are only good until November 1st. I don’t actually play the game, but I got the email because I got the legendary upgrade when it was a freebie.

There’s also an upgrade that isn’t free that’s being removed. Granted the upgrade was one of their freebie offers relatively recent.

I had a folding phone (Fold4). Once a video was playing the fold wasn’t as noticeable as long as you looked at it straight on. From an angle, the fold was annoying.

The worst part about the phone was that it was uncomfortable to hold when folded or not, it was cumbersome, and finding a good case for it was nearly impossible.

I would rather carry something like my Deck in a case than save a little space with a folding device. Those folding screens are also very shiny and super sensitive. You can scratch those screens with your finger nails.

Yeah. I’m not a fan of their shuffle either. I sometimes want music I’ve never heard before. Supposedly their discover weekly playlist is what provides this but it’s always full of covers of songs I already regularly listen to.

I’m checking out Tidal right now. Is there a way to import the playlists that doesn’t cost money?

When you say “a real shuffle” what do you mean?

So far the audio quality is noticeably better and I have both set to maximum quality. Only complaint so far is that they seem to combine artists of same or similar names. For example, it was tough to find Wolves without it confusing different artists of the same name. I found a metal core band from Milwaukee of the same name which I like, but I was looking for a band from the early 2000’s from Massachusetts. Once I found them, Tidal lists other artists’ albums under the more albums section.

Thanks for confirming that for me. Right now my Deck runs games better than my 10 year old desktop. Eventually I’ll build a new desktop. Haha.

Finishing up Lies of P. Debating what to play next. I picked up a few things during holiday sales and giveaways and might play one of those games. Thinking of doing Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Might do Path of Exile 2 though since someone else here said it’s been running fine on their Deck.

Glad to hear it. I have been holding off on PoE2 since I almost exclusively play on my Deck and have heard some mixed things.

Keep in mind that the cops don’t have to provide you with their reasonable suspicion in order to demand ID. It’s not until court that they have to provide their reasonable suspicion. So they have plenty of time to come up with justification after the fact.

Also, on the Fifth Amendment I thought I had read somewhere about a case where a man simply remained silent and never once invoked his right and it didn’t end well for him. I cannot remember the details, but for some reason I thought that you still had to invoke the fifth even if you have not yet answered any questions. I’ll have to look back into this later and post back if I find the story.

I’ve been looking forward to this remake for a while.

Crazy thing is… I’d pay for a service like the one mentioned in the post. As long as it was still a net savings of course. Even if I broke even it would still be taking the mental load of doing that off my wife and I.

HTPC wasn’t a Windows thing though Microsoft did have Windows Media Center, which was a pretty slick interface for HTPCs

I used to use XBMC, which is now Kodi, for an interface. Before that I just used a PC running Mandrake Linux with a wireless mouse and keyboard. Haha.

Had a TV tuner, acted as a DVR, and also could play my library of SNES and NES games through it.

They give you a discount per month. So for example, a $1000 phone is on sale for $600, but they don’t give you $400 off up front. Its a $11.11 per month discount for the next 36 months. You pay $16.67 per month until its paid off. If you pay it up front you pay $1000. If you leave early or pay it off early you lose the $11/month discount on the payment for the phone

Its intended to lure people in for an advertised cheap or free phone, but then you’re stuck with them paying for the device.

Because people finance their phones with AT&T, usually without realizing it. “Free” phones and discounted phones are not usually free or discounted. You’re forced to stay with them to get the discount off each month. I hate it because I’d rather just pay for my phone outright and be done, but then you actually pay more.

I prefer to keep my notes as handwritten (I draw a lot of diagrams and graphs in my notes). But it does indeed convert my handwriting to type if I want it to. And it does a great job of it especially with how messy my handwriting can be.

The feel of it is very comfortable too (feels like writing on paper). I used to use a Surface Book in tablet mode for notes, but wanted to get away from Microsoft. The screen of the Note 3C isn’t smooth, it’s textured like paper

Their note app takes some getting used to, but it works pretty well (templates are a little tricky, but they just made an update to improve it).

The only thing I really miss from OneNote on the Surface was printing PDFs into OneNote. That said, you can annotate directly onto PDFs, it just makes things a little less organized unless you use the PDF as a template.

Yeah. The color definitely isn’t a replacement for an actual comic or graphic novel. It’s good enough to give you an idea of what it should look like. And I agree. If you have no need for the color, then black and white is going to be much better.

I have the Boox Onyx Note 3c. Its a color e-ink and its okay for comics. But I mainly use it for note taking. The colors are helpful for more detailed notes. The eink display makes it easier in my eyes especially for long days of note taking.

I agree. Shorts are just a way for me to discover new creators when I’m on the toilet since my recommendations page sucks now and never recommends new creators to me.

That doesn’t say anything about lethal range. It just says they won’t allow it to be lower than the ISS’s orbit. It could be because of “lethal range” or it could be that they want as little crap in the way of routes to and from the ISS.

I looked over the article (albeit very quickly) just in case you didn’t quote enough of the article on accident and I didn’t see anything about lethality. I could have missed it or I’m not reading between the lines (maybe missing their meaning in the article).

It was quicker since the machine was already setup as a server on the network. So all I had to setup was Jellyfin. I’m also not including downloading the client software on our phones and Roku. But frankly that was easy and each device found the server immediately.
