How do you win vs someone else in CP2077? And secondly, the context here is playing on Microsoft Cloud services for full blown PC games. So if you’re going to play competitive counter-strike (or Valorant or Apex, or whatever new school kids are playing these days), you’ll be the one at a...

Sad that it “has to be” that way. I disagree with some of your stances on privacy, but it doesn't matter. I don't care what anyone else uses (unless they're going to be annoying about it); as it doesn't affect me at all. Glad you like your phone.

Unlikely that it will be a watch just because of screen real estate. People use phones as their primary computing device. To even watch full movies, shows, and Youtube on. Holding up my arm for 2 minutes to have a quick phone conversation on my watch just plain sucks. I do think wearables will...

I predict Apple will eventually make a folding phone without these issues. It just may take another 5+ years for materials science to have screens that can fold, that are durable, and don’t have an ugly crease after the fact. And then predictably Android users will proclaim: “Apple calls this...

First, I acknowledged that issue. It’s an entire paragraph in that thing you just quoted. Second, you must not know what a Backbone is. Which is mentioned directly in the same sentence as the word “phone”. Why respond if you’re not even going to read the post?

You’re right. But I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt. But in a case like this I suppose I should just believe what the person says they are. And I’ve given plenty of chances already with the same result. I think there were some growing pains moving to a full redesign with...

Recommend this if you want an SSD holder, just way more universally compatible. https://a.co/d/1Xgkf4O

Uh no. You just selected the facts you deem important, and then tried to tell us they have greater levels of importance or should have greater levels of importance for the rest of us. On Cameras: I posted a video, image quality on iPhone on all cameras is better than S23 Ultra - Fact This...

Nah, this is for whoever…. if you’re shooting on a phone then you’re likely not doing ’professional’ work unless it’s a special advertising piece for Apple or some musical artist. Not even a gimbal. No stabilization what-so-ever. It’s basically just a phone mount attatched to a piece of metal...

Apple’s platform is basically designed to playback either .mp3’s or .mp4’s. If you’re using some other formats .ape, FLAC, whatever, Apple doesn’t have software via default to play it back. While I do recommend using Apple’s music app, in your case that would mean converting your files to...

At this point? Basically. I’ve seen threads locked for less.

That’s been mostly up to you. You have made every attempt to troll and not ingratiate yourself. And your stated goal is to “make Apple fans look worse”. The irony there being, you make Android/Samsung fans look like absolute trash because you’re the ‘friend’ (or work acquaintance or whatever)...

Intel I guess got out at the right time. I would imagine also another complication is that Apple likely wants to create a single unified chip that works everywhere. Qualcomm doesn’t have a chip like that. Likely because it’s way too complex. Love ‘em or hate ‘em (mostly hate them), Qualcomm...

Boring, predictable, unqualified. Another standard DNX post. We may as well have a countdown timer to the next irrelevant post.

My post is basically “speak for yourself”. Because I’ve been more than happy to buy discounted second-hand one+ generation old hardware for at least 10 years. I would actually say that the reasons to upgrade if all you want to do is game is declining. A majority of the market is buying video...

Clearly. You also don’t read and respond to posts. And you don’t really say anything compelling to change anyone’s mind. But if glorified trolling is what you want to do, you’re welcome to it. It serves a purpose some-what, but you’re not really going to get the desired outcome you want out...

There is a huge difference between “explaining something” and “defending something”. There is no one who plays games that would say that they don’t “wish” every game was 100% optimized perfectly for their exact hardware combination. But that isn’t how it works. Studios have a set amount of...

All Apple stuff has had a U1 chip in it it for like the past 6 years. U2 just makes precision and even lower power possible. But you don’t need U2 to do all the tracking functions. If you just want to find your phone with your watch, that’s been easily possible, again for more than 6 years...

I’ll just point out that even in the cases of these phones, the exploding MP counts really are a waste. My camera (as listed in my sig) is 42MP. And there has been big problems in the digital camera world for the last 10 years with creating optics that could out resolve digital sensors. Because...

Problem is phone buying isn’t an objective experience because it’s going to come down to what you care about. Samsung has been packaging their phones with 60GB of bloatware. Google OS’, despite what you talk about are spyware. Chromium as in the thread I started is now just a Trojan horse. And...

All phones get slower due to heat. And your video as has been stated is nonsense. I don’t feel it’s necessary to go over it again. Actually a lot of that stuff is subjective or trades blows. The aperture in 15 Pro Max telephoto camera is over twice as fast as the telephoto lens in the S23...

Which basically still makes it the fastest and most refined phone on the market. Samsung/Qualcomm can’t produce a chip nearly as fast. Every Samsung and Pixel phone is also basically the same stuff. Heck in the case of Pixel they don’t even use top end SoCs.

I agree with the other guy. Did you also own an iPhone 2g or the first Android phone (I think it was motorolla with the track ball? I remember the phone’s shape and look but not the manufacturer). The Windows phone product was substatially more developed than either of those. But what...

So you’re saying you need zero proof to create a lynch mob and stir up hate against a corporation you hate (but also happened to not have done what you said they did) so you can prop up a different soulless corporation that you happen to love more?

Guilty until proven innocent right? We don’t need proof. We have rumors and tweets.

I figured the standard SOP of secret agencies would be thermite. Probably a fairly good option. Would also make a nice light show.

While I “get” what you’re saying. Generally speaking there are publications or specific reviewers I tend to be in line with. Ebert for films was one of those people (for me). But to make a point of that example, there were times where Ebert’s reviews “agreed with everyone else” and there were...

While Baldurs Gate III isnt a game for everyone, nothing is. If you like tactical story driven RPG’s, there has literally never been a title produced that is this good. And I’m 10x more into it than probably any other game in the last 10 years. it also has gotten max reviews from virtually every...

One mans opinion. He hardly has a birds eye view of the company. And I would say his assessment of both the engineering and software side is slanted. They could pay every engineer an absurd amount of money a year and it wouldn’t even cause a blip in the bottom line of Apple. And unless this...

To respond a bit more “seriously”, there are many people on these very forums saying that Microsoft should buy Nintendo or otherwise saying Nintendo should stop selling hardware and just be a software dev for Sony/Microsoft. And this should make it definitively clear (even though I have said so...

That’s what I was saying. People excited about the Activision Blizzard acquisition are delusional. I expect the downward trend on all properties to continue. Just now exclusively on Microsoft platforms after any share agreements run out.

The bottom is the default for the Lock Screen. The notification pull down is still the top left. They stil populate from the bottom in that case also. And neither of those behaviors can be changed.

They most certainly want a monopoly.

I just upgraded my Apple Watch 4 Cellular to the new Watch OS and it has soooo many new usability improvements. The App bubble organization is way better. The new swipe up for widgets gives more quickly glanceable info, and using the side button for the control panel feels much more intuitive...

Perspective. I would say that every Android phone is essentially the same too. It’s subjective. I’d take the iPhone 100/100 times. I’d even take a “lower” iPhone over a premium Android phone regardless of what it is.

It doesn’t delineate on the map itself that’s true, but you can see the exact region in terms of what you’ve downloaded. Sure maybe. But that’s speaking like no one can get what now days is considered a minimal amount of data while traveling. And that would be spread out over a considerable...

Well, as you note it hasn’t been a limitation on iOS because of Google Maps. Not sure what you mean about Google Maps having a bad interface though. As much as I don’t like to use Google products, their maps app works way better in Japan than Apple Maps does. I used it everyday, multiple times...

iOS 17 dropped today at 10:00 AM PST. I updated both of my devices since they are newer in their life cycler and not older. Most importantly my 12.9” iPad Pro 6th Gen (M2, if that makes knowing that easier). iPadOS got a bunch of updates to make the usability better, and I’ve been using this...

Same price as last year? Though I will definitely say there is high diminishing returns from upgrading every year. If you’re one of the folks that wants to do that, then one of the monthly payment plans that gives you a new Phone every year (and you just keep constantly paying) is probably the...

Just to confirm again, carrier apps are not required.
