If it's not searing eyeballs out what's the point?

Really though I can see my S22+ in direct sunlight, how much brighter do we need to go?

I'm glad you linked to his Wikipedia page because when I saw this post I had to check if he was dead.

Awesome, well whatever you did for it, good work.

I'll start with saying I have pretty mediocre willpower.

I can definitely understand saying you're "addicted" to sugar. I find it really hard to resist going for sugary treats, and it takes a substantial effort to make better snack choices.

But I can put some honey in my yogurt in the morning and not go on a sugary bender, so I feel like it can't be as bad as hard drugs.

Enclave. I picked up the Xbox version in a clearance bin somewhere. It's a really solid level-based action adventure game.

If you want optical zoom without major quality loss you either need a camera bump or a thicker phone all around.

You can look online at what the upgrade parts cost. If you were upgrading to the AMD main board you're looking at $450-$700, versus $1200-1550 buying it new. The Intel i5 components are similar but i7 are a bit more expensive. Thus far they have been consistent about releasing upgraded components. You are locked in to buying from them though - so if they stop releasing upgrades you're out of luck.

If you don't need the latest and greatest, going used is going to still be a better value proposition.

Google has the functionality to give third party apps access to your YouTube account and that's all you're using here. I can imagine them eventually blocking it altogether, but I can't imagine them banning accounts for it.

Iced Earth was one of my favorite growing up, but I don't think it hit as hard because I had discovered so much better USPM in recent years. IE had kind of stagnated after Barlow left the first time.

Iced Earth guitarist was one of the first ones in the door on January 6th. The band pretty much said they disagree with his actions,but not his intent.

They said nothing about agreeing with his intent. They condemned his actions and left it at that.

It's also hard to say "the band" as Schaeffer is iced earth. He has been the only constant member and to my understanding owns the rights to their iconography and etc.

Yeah, I'm at a loss for my next phone. Maybe OnePlus if they stay decent.

And just to say - it's not that you couldn't fix it, but installing the proprietary drivers for an Nvidia card or updating mesa for AMD or Intel would help.

What GPU do you have? Honestly any of them could have a better driver setup out of the box on Ubuntu.

Depending on how you configure it you can run into issues with sites and apps that use trackers.

It's because they want to lock you into Chromecast compatible apps.

They're all $11 for an individual plan, I was talking about family plans.

They charge $17 for Music only without including YouTube Premium in the US.

The big thing that convinced me Spotify is better as a music service is that it was able to successfully recommend me a band I like that has only 71 listeners, and is similar to another band I like with 140 listeners. YouTube struggles with even understanding what artists are similar to those two and just plays other stuff I listen to (that's unrelated) on artist radio.

It makes sense. The other Google apps can generally be installed on other phones, but this has always been Nexus/Pixel exclusive (when installed from the play store).

I left YouTube when they took away my grandfathered family plan, but Spotify has the same crap. Sponsored home screen recommendations, concert recommendations for bands I've never listened to, etc...
