I like it so that the USB C will last longer. At least in theory.

It’s more than theory in my experience. I had a OnePlus 5 and lint completely ruined the USB-C port. I could spend 10 minutes trying to dig stuff out and get the cable right for it to establish a charge before I finally gave up and upgraded. It’s why I’m not AS annoyed that the wireless charging add-on takes up the port. As long as it’s also keeping debris out of the port (and the rest of the phone continues to run well) I’ll live with it.

The phone or the OS? Hardware wise, my only gripe is the lack of wireless charging. I use an aftermarket plug to add it, but it doesn’t put the charge pad quite in the right place, so I sometimes have to put it upside down. It also means the USB-C port is always occupied. That isn’t a huge deal for me as I like to use plugs to keep dust out anyway

Software wise, I’m still running regular Android. I don’t like that there’s no Gallery app. You have to use Google Photos. That coupled with the fact that .nomedia files don’t seem to work mean that the app shows ALL photos on your phone, including some you might want to keep private.

Other than that though, I’m pretty happy with it. Just upgraded mine to 15.

I think it’s a roundabout attempt to get us to wonder what the fuck Kick is. I’m not that curious.

Yeah, I stayed with my parents for a few months while I was house hunting and being limited to Level 1 charging was challenging. I couldn’t recover a full commute’s worth of charge overnight and would start each day with progressively less charge, so I’d have to swing by a L3 charger once a week or so. Still cheaper than gas though.

It looks like it’s done in a comic book style. Reverse image searches show some Twitter and Tumblr posts indicating it’s Kate Kane looking for Tim Drake (Batwoman and Robin from the Batman franchise), but I’m not sure if this is an actual page from the comic or just fanart.

What, are they running down the same presidential campaign checklist as 2016 and just forgot to remove the “hush money to pornstars” line-item for this go-round? Someone call Karen MacDougal and find out if she got the same offer.

Now I’m wondering if there’s a supervillain fight where Spider-Man just insulted his enemy over and over until they lost all morale and gave up. Spidey’s been around long enough that I have to assume it happened at some point.

Interview starts 3 minutes in. All ads before that - including an ad for the very conversation you clicked on. Fuck iHeart.

The PS3 also had damn few games to play at launch. If it wasn’t for Sony’s decision to ship it with a BD-ROM drive it probably would have been a total flop. Home theater nerds saved the PS3.

On a walk through the woods, would you rather encounter a strange man, a bear, or twice-impeached former president Donald J. Trump?

Jesus, why did I click around in there? I want to pity them for being so pathetic, but they’re being pathetic in the most aggravating way. This game is woke because it’s got a black man and an Asian man in it. That game is woke because it refers to the faceless protagonist with they/them pronouns.

What’s sad is I’m sure there are some people engaging in that forum as a form of satire and Poe’s law is in full effect so we will never know who is who.

Yeah, I’m sad Jackson got redistricted out of his seat, but hopefully he will win his State Attorney General race and be well positioned to take a US senate position or maybe even run for governor down the line.

I’m almost tempted to turn off 2fa on my account and give it a weak password just to see what its next life becomes.

That’s one you can choose. I’ve always stuck with the classic First in Flight. Way too many In God We Trust driving around though

Yeah, my OP9 was my third OnePlus phone and my last one. I installed a security update that made the cell radio completely non-functional and had to factory reset it. I use my phone for 2FA to get into my work computer, so this was simply unacceptable.

I realized I wasn’t doing enough with my phone to warrant flagship prices and ended up switching to a Pixel 6a I got on the cheap. Other than having to add wireless charging with an accessory, I haven’t looked back.

Really? Every time I visited the QC sub it seemed like they were finding something to get angry about and always bitching about the comic going down in quality.

If you have the port and money for it, I’d recommend a separate drive for the second OS. Windows is kinda notorious for stomping over GRUB if you rely on partitions for your dual boot.

If you’re worried about installing to the wrong drive on accident, you can always physically disconnect the existing drive until install is complete, then plug it back in and set the boot order in the mobo config.

Dominated.

Outer Worlds is way closer to a Fallout spiritual sequel (or beat Starfield to the punch) than an Elder Scrolls game.

Did they ever fix the reputation system? I managed to instantly piss off an entire city while I was in the middle of it because I accumulated one too many “We don’t like you” points in the middle of a quest. Completely ruined my immersion and was a hard stop for me.

To clarify, the FTC is being urged to craft this regulation. They have not recently urged for this regulation. Gotta love the English language.
