Before smartphones we had snake and Tetris on nom smart phones and we liked it. Before that books and news papers were popular.

Are the tanks sound proofed too?

Isn’t there a new 9th planet we can’t see yet but we have detected because of it’s gravitational pull on things around it?

I guess it’s still a theory.

They were my go to for a long time for good charging cables and dongles. Don’t know what happened with them. I do know they got delisted from online shops.

I’ll still shop there if I can use trade in credit for old tech. But I literally only spend the store credit I get back from old tech. Its usually something that’s several years old and worth like $40-50, and I spend it on something I was planning to buy anyway. I’ve tried reselling that kind of thing on eBay. It doesn’t move because nobody wants a windows 7 computer or an old pair of earbuds from 7 years ago.

This also works for pool. Don’t ask me how I know.

And if Nintendo has its way (which they did this go round) they won’t have to. They got what they wanted and they’re not having to spend ridiculous amounts of money (that there’s basically no way to re-coup) on litigation. They sued a guy who can never pay them back what the court says he owes them. I doubt they want to go through that again. Easier to just for arbitrate the proceedings.

Only just now? Really?

Here’s the thing. The creators of Yuzu folded which is a win as far as Nintendo is concerned and a loss for everyone else who uses the yuzu emulators. Your semantics about the situation aren’t helping. All I did was supply a link to a news story that was already available on Lemmy on literally the technology community. This has already been hashed out.

And Nintendo won.

It’s true. They used Nintendo’s own cryptographic keys to make the yuzu switch emulation work.

I recommend some clips. The kind used to hang laundry. I believe that trashcan comes with a swiveling lid not pictured here and if the bag is installed properly the lid will hold it in place. But if you don’t have the lid (they’re not made of a particularly durable material or to a durable design spec), the clips do work.

So it has support for hearing aids. But nothing for the automotive side of things in that regard for the hard of hearing. His phone was connected to the car via Bluetooth. But no sound was coming from the cars speakers, and that sound was not transmitted to his hearing aid.

The onscreen toggle setting for Google maps does not show up until you select to navigate to a destination (this was a problem, because at first we couldn’t even see if it was toggled on). Picking a destination and choosing to start navigation made that toggle show up, and it was toggled on but we still had no sound.

There’s a settings toggle at the bottom of his screen (mine is not the same, I checked that both apps are updated to the latest firmware), and that settings menu has toggles for things like assistant voice/smart features related to the app, but no sound features. To get to the advanced sound features for the app you have to select your profile from the menu, then select settings, then select Navigation settings, and only then can you select things like “mute state”, or “guidance volume”.

Specifically things like “play voice over Bluetooth” which was not selected by default after his last update. This is not a setting he even knew existed or knew how to find. So I honestly doubt he deselected it.

My pixel 8 has accessibility features that allow for quick toggles. To control things like screen brightness and volume. It also has more settings for the hard of hearing than his. His S23 has the support for hearing aids but not things like sound amplifier that I was looking for. And audio adjustment which would have been useful to allow him to rebalance the sound for the ear that doesn’t use a hearing aid. I actually wonder if that’s a developer settings thing and why it should be hidden that way.

I also couldn’t select what type of Bluetooth device he was using (but this may be because of the make and model of his car, not a shortcoming of Google or Android).

For him I’m sure this was very confusing because it seemed convoluted even to me. Anyway in the long run, we got voice prompts for navigation up and running, and he was happy with that. But the bar for entry for the hearing impaired seems a bit high.

I was actually helping an aging coworker who wears a hearing aid set up some features on his phone and connecting his phone to Bluetooth. I was significantly disappointed with the lack of features geared toward those who are hard of hearing. Specifically in driving mode for Android auto. He’s got a newish phone (S23) so it’s not that. And the settings were far too convoluted to find for my tastes.

It really bothered me quite a bit that I couldn’t make the Bluetooth register that he was using a car and therefore speakers, not headphones. And further that the settings for voice prompts in the maps app requires he go into his personal Google settings to change toggles because the app user facing one is only available once you pick a destination and he couldn’t hear it.

Is it too much to ask for a long press shortcut?

That explains that then. I made my comment before bed and didn’t see the replies til the next morning.

Not as far as I can see.

I don’t know my smart TV hasn’t been hooked up to the Internet and my streaming stick doesn’t show me those kinds of ads. I do pay to avoid it. I have youtube premium. In fact I was grandfathered into the $7.99 rate from having Google play music back in the day and my rates only just increased. The point I was trying to make is that this isn’t going to just stay as the static ad. It will absolutely change with time because Google’s losing money on the ad revenue business (it’s just not as lucrative as they need it to be to keep investors happy). The static ads probably will go to full blown video ads at some point (and extensions will counter that by muting tabs and auto stopping playing popup videos until the end user clicks the play button etc because people will try to get around this). This is just the newest progression in a long line of progressions of terrible ad implementation.

I don’t want billboards in my living room though. It’s reasonable to not want billboards in your living room.

Pause a video to answer a phone call or reply to a text or look up some information? Here’s an ad at full volume! Seems legit. Sure. Do it. What could go wrong.
