An argument I frequently make about using an ad blocker is that I’d be more comfortable with ads if they weren’t so thirsty for personal information. I still stand by that, and I’m not completely convinced this satisfies that concern. Personal data is still getting slurped up, but now we have the privilege of trusting it’s completely anonymized.
Absolutely. Imagine how cool summons and area magics would be when they light up your room.
FF Tactics is a VR/XR dream port of mine. I’d love to see those battle arenas set up on my coffee table, with the ability to actually move the pieces around like chess.
Why are they called gaming laptops when they don’t play the games themselves?

I’ve been in the Apple ecosystem for pretty much most of my life, and I’m all for what the AVP is bringing to the table. However, one VR enthusiast Youtuber I watched recently (Thrillseeker) put down the most compelling argument against the AVP I’ve seen thus far. The AVP does well what all the other headsets don’t, but the AVP also kind of sucks at what other headsets have learned to do well. At the price of the AVP, not only could you buy a Quest 3, but you’d have enough leftover to just build an entire VR Gaming rig to back it up. Then you’d have a setup exponentially more capable than what the AVP is offering.
I think I would still stick to the current form factor. Repairability and comfort are of greater concern to me at this stage in my life than pocketability.
Oh I I have no idea if overcast will improve your battery life, I just like it. I think the UI is intuitive and the smart speed feature is amazing for talk shows.
I got a visa to travel to China as a tourist in 2016. They charged a high price but gave me a 10-year visa. It’s still active. My passport will expire before that visa does.
Shhhhhh!!!
Not saying this is a fix, but for people with small hands such as myself, swiping down on the switcher bar at the bottom of the screen pulls the whole upper half of the screen down to keyboard level. It’s called “reachability” and was introduced back when Apple started selling massive phones. It’s an extra step, so not ideal in frequent usage, but if you can’t afford to fumble around with your phone to tap a button on the top, it helps.
I dislike how inconsistent or broken scrolling can be for third party mice. And the lack of customization options for extra buttons.
I don’t use the podcast app (I use Overcast), but if this were happening, I’d check if it’s downloading a bunch of new podcasts in the background or something and see if there’s a setting to limit that.
Yes! If you have a full screen app open with stage manager active on your primary desktop, swiping between the full screen app and the desktop basically becomes a game of app roulette.
I was going to mention this if nobody else had. Easily the thing that makes me angriest most frequently on my iPhone is its behavior when trying to type out and edit longer comments. I honestly don’t know what’s going on when it starts acting funky, but the more time I spend, the weirder it gets. Sometimes I’ll try to place the cursor and it will select a word on a completely different line (it just happened when typing this up that I selected a word in the latest line of this comment and it selected the very first “I” at the top and started overwriting it). Sometimes when I try to change or retype a word, autocorrect suggests the new word mashed together with the old word. When a comment gets too long, the screen bumps up to the top of the page after every new word is added so it’s almost impossible to see what I’m typing. I don’t know if it’s the iPhone, the browser, or the webpage, but it’s a terrible experience.
Then sometimes it’s perfectly fine.
On an iPhone 12 Mini, I wasn’t able to see the options for the “how would you rate” questions until I held my phone horizontally. Just sharing that now in case it affects anyone else.
Actually, the reinstall fixed it! I went into the settings and found an option that allowed me to export my custom emulation/controller profiles and game data, so I was also able to keep all of that intact. Thank you.
Thanks for the reply. I’ll try uninstalling and reinstalling the app later. I was reluctant to try because I’m worried what might happen to my custom game settings.
I really got into the foundation series by Isaac Asimov.
Plot twist. Going YOLO for this reason is exactly what starts the chain of events leading to your expiration.
