Motorola still makes decent budget phones with jack, radio, sd support. Even the OS is pretty light on bloatware. But the camers on them are pretty meh. Or you could get a Xiaomi, root it and flash a more private rom.
GTA V offline, of all things. Haven't played it in years and found out its carpool grew quite a lot, matching the forza games and currently scratching my itch for an offline open world car game with a crapton of cars.
This is potentially the worst possible outcome for this whole debacle. This way the austrian conservatives earn points because they managed to restrict the percieved illegal immigrant flow from the east. Also the current governing parties in romania get to keep their crooked border staff, through which they siphon hundreds of millions of euro, as well as earning some electoral points. This partial agreement will also make sure that further schengen talks can be put on the back burner. And in the end the true beneficiaries of a schengen accord - romanian/bulgarian businesses that ship by truck - will get the shaft. Oh, and this whole scandal plays right into russia's hands, as this will fuel serious anti-eu sentiment in romania.
Not sure why anyone should be surprised by this. No organised religion will bless same-sex couples ( not officially anyway ) because they sre unable to breed new worshippers and consequently the business will not grow. We will probably only see acceptance from them when they have shrunk into insignificance, and that's still a while away.
Ah, but you see, they are not the same. Control Panel is an archaic tool that lets you configure your windows quickly and efficiently. The new and improved AWS will be designed from the ground up to waste your time and discourage tweaking. It will probably obfuscate some settings, quietly remove some settings, track your usage, etc.
They did completely rework a bunch of gameplay systems, so bugs were to be expected. I tried a 2.0 playthrough, and while bug-wise it felt like the 1.2 days ( the death-on-boarding-delamain bug being particularly infuriating ) the gameplay changes are certainly interesting. I'm still holding off on getting PL just yet, maybe wait for a discount.
Jesus christ, a whopping 500 word article just to say: "players used to be able to earn 666 currency, now the max per season will be 700. we want more!". Is this what passes for game journalism these days?
I've been corrected on the price - looks like I was using an older quote.
I do realize that their point is to make the phone's manufacturing process fairer, but their older models were more decently priced, so I wonder how much of that tag is actually due the higher cost of manufacturing.
Still, since people switch phones a lot earlier than EoL, it would be nice if there was a way to discourage the frequent switching ( for marginal performance gains ) and instead encourage keeping smartphones until EoL ( which, granted, for some manufacturers is less than 2 years )
Yeah, just noticed the new price. It's not available in my country yet so I was quoting the one listed on gsmarena. At 700Eur it does make more sense, as it's a similar price to the old Fairphone in 8gb guise.
I really wanted to get this phone, but at 850Eur that's a hard pass from me. I could let the lack of jack and FM radio slide, as well as some design choices that they made, as sacrifices need to be made to make it modular. But I can find that hardware in phones that cost a quarter of a Fairphone. And then there is the repair cost, where the parts cost almost twice as much as getting a non-fair phone repaired at a shop (even moreso if I were to use aliexpress parts and home repair). Again, I fully expect a repairable and fair-source phone to perform worse than a regular one, but this is like paying iPhone money for a Xiaomi midranger. Also, the 8 year warrranty feels like a scam because the chip they use will be out of production in 4-5 years.
You might be able to run it ok. My 1660 basic manages 20-30fps on medium-high and 30+ on mostly low settings. The game still desperately needs some optimization, that's for sure.
I used to be in the same boat as you, pretty hopeful that Starfield will be the space game to replace Elite for me. But the more I read about it, the more I realize it can't.
I dread the day I put Elite down cause I'll have no space sim to scratch the itch.
