  • I thought it was mandatory at release, but added a skip button when the login servers couldn’t handle the traffic at launch. They’re trying to re-enforce it now.

    Its just scummy because of the reasons listed above and people lost their refund window when it was optional. It’s mentioned on the steam page. But IMHO there’s a difference between needing a 3rd party account to play the game and linking it to steam which would give them access to more data than you’ll want to share.

    Edit: I’m not trying to defend Sony. **** em. Talk about killing your golden goose. I’m guessing they’re assuming it’ll blow over by the time a month passes. Ans people will just keep playing.

    I feel bad for AH though. You can tell they’re proud of the game. Sony is shafting their hard work with corporate greed. If anything i think it does more damage to their studio than it does to Sony ( in absolute numbers. This could’ve flopped and sony wouldn’t really notice ).



  • The battery on their arm devices are insane. I can disconnect my laptop at 100% without shutting it down. Go home. Sleep. And then work another 8h without the battery dying on me.

    It’s very impressive. I can’t think of other laptops that have comparable battery life/performance combo as that macbook pro.

    My previous (work) dell laptop barely made 4h ( more like 3 ) and was in the same price range. While I’m not an apple fanboy at all, and there are basis things it just cant do natively ( keyboard window management needs an external app?? ), their macbooks are absolutely the best laptops I’ve ever worked with.



  • Their infotainment system and app are pretty great compared to some other brands.

    I’m currently driving a VW id5 and it’s like they’ve never designed any kind of software interfaces at all. Example:

    • the VW app can tell me the car is unlocked, but can’t lock it for me.
    • it can’t show me the VIN number, even though I had to use it to register it ( it was hidden in my user profile on the site somewhere )
    • I can let it pre-heat and such, but only on two schedules .
    • can’t schedule appointments through the app
    • that weird sliding thingy for switching between speed limiter and cruise control is unintuitive AF
    • every other time I’m driving it’s giving me a pop up saying “there are new updated user settings for your account”. With only an ok and a cancel button. Where are they? What are they? Where can I find them? Did clicking"ok" accept them? Not a clue. When does it show this message that blocks the rest of the UI? After 1 minute of driving.

    Not to hate on VW engineers but goddamnit guys. Get your shit together and hire a UX expert. Shortly drove a BMW 1 series before the VW and the infotainment was a lot more practical to use.


  • Indeed it is not! Yup. Multi day phones are great!

    I charged mine Friday at 8-8.30. it’s currently at 50%.

    I don’t have the stats like you do though. And I think I likely have less screentime. So the pixel8 boasts impressive battery as well for your usage!

    Let’s hope it lasts! ( I have had this one for about 4 months ).

    One weird thing on the pixel 6. One day, randomly, battery life improved by a lot. I assumed it was some kind of update. A few weeks later it reverted to the precious behavior.
