I have the $10 price from Google Play Music and just got an email saying they were jacking my price to $14, but because I've been such a long-time user they're giving me until December.
Sorry for the late reply. I haven't had time to try this 'til this morning. The results are that while I haven't gotten the issue fixed, I at least know what's happening now.
So what's happening is similar to what you said. I have an older Custom Proton installed for some picky games, and its included Mono install is old. Desktop Steam doesn't seem to like this for some reason and keeps trying to update the Mono installed, but this keeps failing for some reason. I tried messing with it but haven't figured out a solution yet. I'll have to try more things later.
A relative I share an account with got the prompt last month. I setup a VPN at my place so they could connect once a month and "check in" at home with their mobile app. After that they could disconnect and continue watching on their Roku.
One thing to remember in the future, is that recent versions of Android let you long-press on a notification(or half-drag in some modded OEM versions) and it'll tell you what App sent that notification, and even give you options to disable that specific notification or all notifications from that app in general.
I've done tech support for a few elder relatives, and most of them have a wall of browser notifications to a bunch of random crap, because they say yes to every popup that appears 🤦♂️
It's pretty concerning that their first reaction to a random question is yes....
I have their Soundcore Space A40, and the battery life is legitimately amazing. The case lasts me a week of heavy usage, and the buds easily go 6-10 hours depending on how heavily I use the ANC. If the buds get low, tossing them into the case charges them back up most of the way in 15-20 minutes.
The ANC isn't perfect, but it's made my recent flights way more tolerable by cutting out most of the noise from the engines while still letting the voice of my seatmate through.
LR and Snapseed for color stuff. But for actual photo editing and light drawing I currently use Infinite Painter, as it's the best at handling layers and masks that I've found so far.
I wish I could use Krita, but their Android UI is still too desktop focused, and so doesn't work very well on anything with a smaller screen, they even block the Play Store listing from anything that isn't a Tablet. Instead I sometimes use GIMP or Krita inside a Linux VM using UserLAnd and XServer XSDL, if what I want to do just isn't possible in Infinite Painter, or I can't get to a Desktop.
I have 800+ apps installed, so it's more like what can't I do on my phone.
I can download videos, watch videos, edit videos, take photos, edit photos, create ebooks, read ebooks, read comics, listen to music, listen and watch podcasts, remote into my server, run terminal programs, run Linux Distros, Document editing, gaming(MTX free mobile, or emulation), web debugging, Android debugging, check the weather, predict the weather using detailed info and radar. communicate via the 30+ chat and social media apps as required by my extended family and friends, and much much more.
I pull out my Switch or Steam Deck when I want to just game, as despite how powerful my phone is, putting it in a controller grip is jank, and outside of emulation there are very few mobile games that aren't full of MTX and gacha mechanics these days.
I pull out my laptop when I want a keyboard with bigger screen for working, or I need more horsepower than even my high-end phone provides. Also to play more hardware demanding games than my Steam Deck can provide.
From the statement above and other comments, it's a new FaceIt product sometimes described as "lite", which gives me the impression it is a Usermode anti-cheat.
Yeah. Even for Reddit, Discord, and now Lemmy, for long posts I usually draft them in a separate text editor first, preferably one with markdown code highlighting and autosaving. Saves me a lot of pain. Then I just copy and paste.
I'm expecting the answer is no, but would it be at all possible to transmit data via LCD? Probably no because of similar reasons as a light gun, right?
but also we could rely on saudi arabia's infinite sunny desert to produce h2 in sustainable quantites.
Pretty much no country wants green energy to be a repeat of fossil fuels, where a few countries monopolize the energy production, so that'd never work. Nuclear could be an answer though, if countries stopped being paranoid about it and actually invested in new nuclear tech.
if solar panels could become more efficient that also would be nice.
I wish, but it'll probably be a while, short of some kind of massive breakthrough, and definitely doesn't completely justify the losses in hydrogen electrolysis.
also because batteries would require african kids to mine for ur cathode (cobalt) and argentinian kids to mine for the anode (lithium). maybe solar panels are less impactful ?
Yeah, we really need to get away from lithium-ion batteries, especially because of the limited geography of some of its components and the environmental impacts of mining them. There's been some promising battery tech being researched, but no clear signs for what's going to pan out or not yet. On the bright side, improved lithium extraction methods are in the pipeline, which could reduce the geological and environmental impacts of it enough to allow other countries to feel comfortable tapping their deposits, like the US.
Safe Hydrogen storage is possible, but development is still behind where it needs to be, especially when compared to batteries.
The real issue with hydrogen though, is that we still suck at making it. Most of the cheap hydrogen on the market is from hydrocarbons, which isn't exactly a renewable resource. Electrolysis as we currently do it is inefficient, with energy lost during production. Meanwhile, batteries can take energy straight from whatever source made it, with very little lost in the process, so it's way more efficient.
If Hydrogen production makes a breakthrough in the future, and hydrogen storage improves a bit more, it could quickly become viable, but that's probably gonna be a while.
