That's wild to give that up. I never carry my actual cards anymore for convenience and security. Plus Google Pay gives the retailer a virtual card number, keeping your real one safe.
Not to mention it's safer to bank on a phone vs computer, as you're less likely to have a virus or Keylogger since everything is containerized.
While you're not wrong, there are some cases where these companies limit things because there are under the hood changes.
I remember a few years back, there was a Nvidia feature exclusive to the new cards, and there was a way to enable it on the old cards, and it ran like shit. Like it made whatever the feature was nearly useless. The new cards had dedicated cores for it.
Just like many, many years ago, you could enable double tap to wake on phones that didn't support it, and you'd see a massive battery drain, because the new SoCs had dedicated low power cores to deal with it.
Not saying that's the case here, but there are times where you can enable these features on other devices, but there's almost always a trade off that normal customers would be pissed off about.
Ya, I think Microsoft knows Minecraft is too big to fail. If adding the chat monitoring/reporting, even on PRIVATELY HOSTED SERVERS didn't cause them to fail, nothing they do will. Their player base heavily consists of children, which don't really care.
The best hope we have is for a new game to come out and genuinely give Minecraft a run for it's money. The only potential we have right now is Hytale.
and that's why I've said 3 times now that they over promise and under deliver everything. I don't think most people would've voted for the Sniffer if they told us it would have a whopping total of two plants..
I’ve read horror stories about losing or breaking a phone and being locked out of everything because the standard phone backups don’t save the passkeys private keys.
This is no different than what we already have. Many people don't backup their TOTP to any cloud provider, or even themselves, and if their phone breaks, they lose all of their TOTP. And most people don't save recovery keys (if the service even provides them).
People have been asking for the world to feel more full for over a decade. We don't care that Mo Creatures are "useless", they add charm and a danger to the world.
Right now there's nothing in the water that hurts you, unless you find yourself near a drown area. Meanwhile mo Creatures added sharks that actually added a reason to watch out, and a reason for the water to be dangerous. In real life the ocean is extremely dangerous, yet in Minecraft it's literally the safest place.
I'm not asking them to add 500 plants, but adding 2 is a slap in the face. An intern could whip up at least 10 new plants in an hour.
Why add something and promise how it's so cool because it's going to find ancient flowers, just to add TWO. Literally useless. Literally a waste of time going through all it to get two fucking flowers. You're better off just going to the meadow and grabbing flowers to decorate with.
My LG G3 was my last LG phone. Not to mention how many phone models had boot looping issues because of crappy solder? And they took multiple years to switch to a better solder lol.
I also installed a custom ROM on mine to make it usable.
They all require "activating" via a different app. Then they get stuck at "updating" on 0%, until they scream Network problem and tell me to factory reset. Even if I try a wired connection.
Multiple ultras and gen 2 Chromecast are just bricked thanks to Google.
My ex back in like.. 2015? Bought a Motorola phone. It PROMISED the next version of Android, aka, 1 singular update. It never got it.
Everyone was so pissed, Motorola made an announcement that it was going to stick to their word, and then over a year went by and I think they released a beta to a certain country, and then never actually fully released it.
So they didn't even give 1 year of updates that they promised on all of the marketing material. Good luck with 2.
I've started playing Vintage Story and you really realize how empty Minecraft is.
Minecraft is still extremely polished, even with the bugs, and for some reason literally no other game can touch how smooth Minecraft feels to play, but it's just so empty.
It's wild they never added mobs like the Mo Creatures mod did like a decade ago.
They then have mob votes, but then take months and months to implement 1 single mob, and then half ass it anyway. Every single mob they've added via mob vote feels extremely half baked. Like the sniffer having TWO plants? TWO???
And then when you beat Minecraft the credits are over an hour long. How can you have so many developers but somehow develop slower than when it was just Notch himself?
That's wild to give that up. I never carry my actual cards anymore for convenience and security. Plus Google Pay gives the retailer a virtual card number, keeping your real one safe.
