Looks like everything is essentially in the same spot UI wise, but with a native application that hopefully gets moving a lot faster.

I’ve noticed that currently on Bitwarden, for auto fill it takes 6-7 seconds just to get authenticated with fingerprint and fill in the username and password field. That should hopefully be down to like 2 or 3 seconds.

That’s a lot of CO2 not going into the atmosphere anymore from burning hundreds of thousands of liters of jet fuel, nice!

It’s not “irregular”, and it’s been done before as protest. A Buddhist monk did it in the past to protest the slaughter of cattle.

They do like money, but Valve also loves providing a service to people.

Nobody uses Epic Games, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or Battle.net because they want to, they use it because they have to.

Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.

It would be better spent in our hands. I for one would like to keep the money I work for.

B-but that’s communism! /s

Does anyone know yet if long COVID is an auto-immune disease? I only assume it is but otherwise don’t know.

That’s what the ‘Lockdown’ feature on Pixel phones does.

Impossible to force a fingerprint or face scan because it asks the phone to only accept passcodes.

I travelled recently, and was filled with disgust when I was told to scan my boarding pass and look into the camera to get in line. I would have asked to go through an alternative line but didn’t want to miss my flight.

What the fuck is wrong with people

The Samsung SCH-U740

It was a good one! It literally flipped 2 ways.

I read somewhere that they will still be green. It’s confirmed by Apple as well.

The reason they’re moving forward with this is because if Apple tries to sue, it could make a case for Google that Apple is trying to take control of messaging in the United States. If they don’t sue, should Google come after them down the line Apple can say “we’re aware of 3rd party iMessage and decided to not take action to increase interoperability” yadda yadda.

That’s my guess anyway.

You could even say, they cancelled Bud Light.

Oh wait no, they don’t do that! /s

Yeah but it doesn’t work on macOS, only Surface Pro and Raspberry Pi, and a few others I think.

The M2 chip is ARM, it just adds some hurdles. I think there’s some work being done for dual-booting Linux on the M2 chip, but as for Windows you have to use Parallels in macOS.

Older Macs with Intel processors will of course run any OS no problem.

I just worry about driver support as I do for Lenovo. They’re probably fine, but again, I haven’t used a Dell in a while.

Dell XPS might be good but I’m not sure, somehow I doubt it.

Macs of course will work properly, at the expense of having to use macOS.

My trio used to be Apple, Dell and Lenovo. But now it’s Framework and Apple.

Lenovo is shit. They really aren’t worth a damn anymore.

I’ve had fingerprint driver issues with my expensive Lenovo Yoga, and AHCI driver issues with an expensive Lenovo ThinkPad. Support is non existent, and if you do manage to find any help through their channels, they don’t help and don’t care.

My next laptop will be with Framework or some other company that doesn’t try to screw me.

You’re not wrong. And unless the controllers have some sort of TPM module in them then yeah they’ll be easily bypassed.

Given that Xbox is a closed console, couldn’t they just have rootkit anticheat by default?

Maybe I’m stuck in the past but it still seems as if consoles still don’t employ anticheats.

Not to mention that the 5 seconds countdown timer is bullshit. In actuality, the timer appears after about a second of playing through the ad, then locks at 5 seconds for about a second and a half, then slowly counts down to 1 where it locks for a second and a half again, and finally gives you the option to skip the ad. I’d wager it’s closer to 7 or 8 seconds per “5 second” ad.
