And here's the direct link from Ubisoft themselves.

Accounts tied to an active Ubisoft subscription, or an activated PC game, no matter where it was purchased will not be eligible for deletion.

Samsung handles it well since it lets you hide the cut out on a per app basis, and doesn't push down the status bar either. Just blacks it out while keeping all the time and notifications still there.

So watching 21:9 with that option makes it so the notch doesn't become part of the video.

But, Oneplus 7 pro handled it the best with the pop up camera.

I've been thinking about getting an apple watch just for Apple pay and a cheap iPhone to set it up, since you can use the Apple watch to pay without internet or the iPhone after set up. Then I could root and stuff on my phone without having to rely on safety net anymore for wallets.

Samsung handles it nice where you can hide the cutout on a per app basis, and doing so doesn't move the status bar down but keeps it where it is. With the amoled display it looks like a normal status bar with the notch or pinhole camera not being obvious.

I'm not sure why some phones don't give that option, since if you do they shift down the status bar below the notch instead of just turning it black. Such a simple software solution.

I meant phones when I mentioned volume and power button.

I'd rather have that return than have a foldable.

Screen scanners seem much more sensitive to dry and callused fingers than dedicated finger print scanners of old. Some can't even use it because their skin texture isn't picking it up well, or have to do things like lick their finger before using which is gross. I miss the power button scanners or rear ones.

Depends one what function. Volume and power on a phone I find better than touch controls, since I can control it without looking. And do things like hold the power button to turn of flash light or double tap power button to bring up camera. No need for screen to have been on.

For more complicated UI then touchscreen is better with it being more dynamic like selecting songs.

Going to be nice not have baby the phone so much and do stuff like limiting it to 85%. And then having to go to a phone store to replace the battery because taking it apart can break the screen. And the cost making you rethink replacing the battery and just going for a newer phone.

Having something built in is so much better than needing a dongle. There's a reason why even Apple brought back ports like hdmi and sd card slot to their Mac book pro line to eliminate even the needing a dongle for some people.

It seems right up my ally to me like with Kena, but that game was 20 compared to 60.

Especially stuff that continues to not move on from the original universe and focusing on the same old cast of characters instead of making a brand new set of characters not held back by having ties to the original. Nothing has come close to KOTOR when it comes to post Star Wars original trilogy content.

Waiting for a lower price point. I have enough games.

If price isn't good then people aren't going to go out of their way to pay for specific features. And then they only seem to support their phones for two years.

So if price and update support fall short it's not something even enthusiasts will be drawn to just because of one hardware feature they want.

Yeah, Samsung one I think only relies on Samsung, so one that works off all Android would make it an easy option. Otherwise, air tag depending on the region seems like it has the most coverage.

Cheap iPhone SE seems useful to have as a back up phone for stuff like that. I actually wish it was even smaller because of that.

I haven't been satisfied with the iPadOS software compared to the S23U. Feel like that utilizes multitasking and stylus functionality way better which would be much more appreciated on the large screen of the iPad. Little things like edge panels, one hand operation +, and stylus being built in and having options like smart select pop right up when I take it out leads me me to using it more. Then the limited folder options on top of that and worse external monitor support feels like all that power that can run a full on desktop is wasted and held back by the mobile OS.

One thing I do love about the iPad is that I can rely on long term security updates, since majority of my use is as a glorified comic reader along side my kindle for ebooks. It does make it easier to tolerate iPadOS, and pretty the only reason I chose it over the Samsung despite finding myself using the S23U way more even when I have the iPad available. I ended up expecting less from the iPad than my phone. I don't know if it would have ended up that way even if it had more features, or if it was just me adapting and accepting iPadOS for what it was.

I have had fun with Egyptian Mouse Pounce. which is Egyptian Rat
Screw card game played against a cat.

I hope moving communities and accounts from different instances becomes possible. I would like to see communities start moving away congregating on the largest instance, and instead maybe start joining instances based on topic. So all music related instances whether it be specific genres or bands go to a music instance. And tv show ones go to an entertainment instance. So everything just kind of becomes categorized into something easier follow and find when it comes to looking for new communities.

There's nothing preventing encryption being done to a SD card so there's no reason the SD card could encrypt files on it so it's only readable through the phone or after putting in the password. Like how Samsung lets you export encrypted a back up of your apps with appdata to a SD card connected through USB C with their Smart Switch app, which is needed now since they don't back up 3rd party apps to the cloud anymore. https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-cloud-third-party-app-data/

Also, most people want SD card so they can just offload pictures, videos, and music as opposed to running apps off it. The cons don't seem like cons for me.

It's not people are forced to use a SD card so this stuff seems more like devil's advocate.
