Now that's how you smoke a bowl

It sounds like we need PM's to act as a liason between developers and end-users to bridge the difference in jargon and way-of-thinking.

I never thought I'd say having PM's were going to help. Ironic.

I believe if you hit the X you can hide the ad and give a reason. The other icon takes you to an article that tells you how to change some settings, but it's a web of options.

This setting might be related, as it should allow you to toggle personalised ads in sites that partner with Google. The article at least mentions this.

You can find a support article on how to report ads as well in case you see any real sketchy stuff, but I was only able to report a handful of ads that were later confirmed to not be violating any rules. Even though those were crypto ponzi scheme ads presented by Phony Stark. Google doesn't care, they just want the ad revenue.

Are you sure you're turning the device off? More recently Android has switched to open the Google Assistant upon holding the power button.

The "new" method to switch off your device is to press the power button and volume up at the same time.

You can switch this back in the phone's settings though. I'm on Android 13 with a OnePlus 11 and it's under Additional Settings -> Power Button -> Press and hold the power button.

Or just search for power button. Search is nice.

I can relate to this so much. I'm active in tech support communities and sometimes there's so many scenarios involved that being concise, accurate and still trying to sound human is quite difficult.

I've been trying to shift my perspective in treating replies as the start of a conversation, where a shorter post with less information or caveats makes more sense to start from so you can narrow down the direction of the comment thread later.

I realize my feelings might be highly specific to support/question threads, but your words really resonated with me regardless.

Yeah it's a safeguard by Itch.io which flags potentially malicious users, but they let you proceed if you are sure you can trust the author

This is the case. If you buy it via Google Play, you can edit or end your subscription via Google Play. If you did not, you need to use the desktop app to manage your subscription.

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, when the answer is "the room disagrees with your take" there's not much to think about. So if you make sure your comments are clean, you'll have to accept it happening from time to time.

Its better for your mental health in the end!

Yeah you're not wrong, it sucks. People treat it as a "I disagree" button while it was intended for off topic comments and spam.

Then the hive mind takes over and people pile on. I used to call it the reddit hive mind, but I guess it's not limited to that.

I know it's frustrating but I don't think we can change human nature. If you are sure you said nothing "wrong" (like hate speech, off topic comment, etc) then it's best to shrug and move on.

€899 in my country from the website itself. Online I can find it for ~650. Less accessible in the EU, it seems :(

I'm so happy so see this upvoted here. On Reddit people say toxicity is justified if developers do "stupid shit". Or they say the toxicity is their own fault for making a mess, it should be expected, etc. Glad to be gone there

If you really believe that you should sue them and become a millionaire because their Privacy Policy explicitly states it doesn't

I'd argue Celsius makes more sense from a human experience standpoint. Too damned cold or hot is highly subjective. The freezing and boiling points of water are easy references.

Although technically the boiling point of water can change where you are in the world. But from neighbour to neighbour, you will have the same effects

Both Zelda BotW and TotK have the option for a "PRO" HUD mode which only shows certain elements of the HUD at the right time.

It makes exploration so much more fun when you're not (if not subconsciously) navigating with the minimap instead of the environment in front of your eyes.

+1 for Battlefield 1. That game nailed the cinematic experience and without a HUD it's turned up to 11.

Have you played heists in GTA5 in first person without a HUD? It becomes a completely different game!

Have you played Inscryption? Going in blind might appease you

If you really can't get enough and are subscribed to F1TV, you could space out a season from the archives between now and March

It is 5% lighter, whether that is noticeable can vary between users

Dutchie here to explain why that's not ironic:

If its a dotted line cars are allowed to use it, but only if it doesn't impede on cyclists. So while they didn't have to be there, it's not unlawful as there's no cyclists.

If it was a single line, it's a different story.

It says "2013 equivalent", referring to average car bought in 2023.

But that doesn't matter, because it's not the headline of the article, but OP editorializing it.

Probably the slow charging (18W) and CPU (MediaTek Helio G99). The cameras, screen and speakers also doesn't seem that great, but full specs haven't been announced afaik
