  • Interesting. I've got a 1 III that I pre-ordered from the first batch. The only issue I've had is that the fingerprint scanner totally stopped working at this point, but I haven't found any indication it's software over the thing physically failing. Was damn near perfect before that, in my experience anyway.

  • That's just what they've added this year. Total drive count is over 3k.

  • Same. That weird free game started a lifelong appreciation for the genre.

  • The 256GB storage is expandable via microSD cards up to 1TB. Both phones have 3.5mm headphone jacks.

  • Different guy, but I jumped from GPM to Plex/Tidal back when GPM died. While I mostly listen to my own files via Plex, the Tidal integration and it's playlists are most of what I use for discovery now, and my only complaint is that it doesn't integrate into the Plex/Plexamp apps like the bulk of the library does.

    There's a "Daily Discovery" playlist that mixes new (to you) artists + new (to you) tracks from artists already in the library, a "New Arrivals" list for new (to exist) releases from artists you listen to, and 5 rotating mixes based on artists you've listened to lately. I find the latter to be the closest to GPM's "I'm feeling lucky" though. They're a bit more narrow in scope, but there's 5 of them so there's usually one that goes into the direction I want at the moment.

    Having a Plex library, Tidal also opens up options for on-the-fly "radio" stations built into Plex. It has things such as "artist radio" which will play similar artists, which is also an option depending on how much music discovery you're looking to have available.

    (Sorry for the long-winded reply, but you've got good opinions elsewhere in this thread and were asking a question I've put entirely too much thought into over the years, so figured I'd aim for thorough).

  • Looks like you comment more than you boost though.

  • Just upvote or boost? Aren't you having to go to your profile to find it either way?

  • Did you try a warranty claim? Nvidia is pretty well-reputed for being flexible about that sort of thing. The warranty is 2 years in some countries, so it's not like a huge leap that they'd honor it for one bought last year.

  • I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain.

    I agree, but 50% is still better than 100%. I definitely appreciate that I'm reading about this while being totally unaffected personally rather than just disappearing entirely like what happens with a banned subreddit.

  • They download the file (which you can usually do with a little Inspect Element action + yt-dlp), but then also decrypt the file.

    Most of the big streaming services use Widevine DRM (or at least did at one point, I might be outdated by now), so just downloading the file gives you appropriately-sized gibberish. These apps tend to be expensive because getting around the DRM is usually non-trivial.

  • My use case for streamfab was a single season of a show that's free to stream anyway, just wanted a local copy. I wasn't a huge fan though...entirely too clunky and error prone for the price.

  • I know from experience some of these apps use mac address to enforce the free trial period (e.g., download 3 things for free then be forced to pay). If you have a means to install it in a vm and change the mac...

  • I'm on an Xperia 1 III for the same reason. It's been a fantastic phone, and I'm only now realizing how old it's gotten by noticing they're up to V.

  • Spot on. Even when they've been caught doing things most people thought was shady (e.g., last year's /r/place manipulation), they tend to not outright deny it, but rather admit it and offer a half-assed explanation and end the conversation at that.

    They wouldn't do something that flagrantly disregards EU/CA privacy laws. If they did it, they'd have have a justification they thought would hold up in court. If they had a justification that held up in court, they'd happily plop it in a comment that's pinned with a few dozen rewards and ignore any responses after that.

  • Anyone whose purchased Russian oil in the past couple decades?

  • At least we could all collectively stop worrying about the climate stuff, right?

  • That's such a strange reaction, since fake stories like yours are the only reason that sub has any content worth reading.
