Imo the 750 dollar price point is either a controlled leak to make us pleasantly surprised when they go for a still bad 650-700 or is the price of an ASUS Strix and the real MSRP will be lower.
Because even in the badly priced Ada lineup, 750 for a 4070 makes absolutely no sense when the 4070 TI is 800.

This should be covered under the warranty. Use the apple support app and get some help! Or walk into the Apple Store and make an appointment.

You've got the right idea for sponcer block. All of the nord VPN ads within a video, intos to songs that aren't part of the music video, off topic content, self promotion, subscribe please pleas, and whatever else can all be blocked.

The $1500 flagships do yes..
But.. they are Sony-centric in the fact that the market for those are mainly content creators in Japan that already use Sonys high end cameras.
I still remember my Xperia Z2 had 4K ahead of like anyone else and a build quality I didn’t see again til buying an iPhone. They make absolutely beautiful and wel designed phones. But.. much like apple you aren’t getting the full experience unless you have a bunch of their other products. And with Sony.. they just don’t have that loyal a fan base like apple. Apple is synonymous with luxury so even non-tech people want it cause who doesn’t want luxury?

Oh Ive seen his videos but I didn't see any in-depth analysis about Garmin sleep tracking, only saw ones for Fitbit, apple watch and the rings and that one strap.

And 3G no longer exists, it has nothing to do with SIM cards, the bandwidth was reallocated. All of the non-phone devices including cars that relied on it fot function or updates are SOL now.

It's not going to mean less waste, they will only stop operations in the EU. They will still make phones for other countries. The additional costs and liability of having a 10 year life and repairability would need to be passed on to EU customers. Would they accept a more expensive, thicker device? Possibly less robust? I wish there were simple answers.

3G-and-below phones are bricks because the networks they were built to use have been completely retired and replaced by 4G and 5G radios. They can still likely use Wi-Fi but cellular service won’t work with them in most parts of the world.

Tbh most people I've seen having motion sickness in VR had them in room-scale, standing still is better, seated games like Elite Dangerous/Squadrons barely provoked any. But ofc YMMV

I don’t know what sponcer block is, like when the actual video itself has sponsored ads that the creator reads or something, it blocks them? I don’t think anyone I watch is big enough for sponsors like that so I’m not sure, I’ve never seen it… so maybe?
I’ll definitely check out adaway though, that sounds neat!

Ikr, I use YouTube Vanced for so long that I forgot YouTube has God awful ads. Sometimes when I click a video link in Reddit, it opens the official YouTube app to play the video, and oh my God the unskipable and multiple ads in the beginning, then in the middle, I'm just nope, close that immediately, lol.
I'm glad I have Vanced, just this reason alone, I don't think I can ever use an iOS product.

Yea the iPhone messages app doesn’t work very good with android phones, works great with other iPhones but you can tell they made it a gated community to try to make people who don’t have iPhones feel like an outsider in the conversation trying to convince them to switch. I have a company phone which is an iPhone 12 and also a personal iPhone 13 Pro Max, but pretty much everyone Ik also has iPhones so it makes living with one a lot easier.

You, know it is annoying when all my friends or colleagues use iPhone and they all group chat with iMessage. The messages come individually to my android phone and I cannot respond to all. I told all of them to use Whatsapp instead, lol.
I wish there's an app that could handle this iMessage thing on android.

Yeah they basically make xperia phones which are like really rare because barely anybody bought them but people who did usually behave like cultists when it comes to rating the phones.

Does brave browser do sponcer block in YouTube as well?
For phone wide ad blocking you can use Adaway or a few others that work similarly. They use the VPN slot to route all traffic through the app which compares sites to a block list and prevents the pings to the DNS server for ads or other things you want to block.
Or you can use a DNS such as NextDNS. This does a similar thing but instead of the block lists being on your phone they're on the DNS server. NextDNS cal block a ton of telemetry and other things as well.
The advantage of Adaway and other similar blockers is they save a good amount of data. But they use a little extra battery. In my experience the extra battery used for the app is more than offset by the battery drain of the pings to ad servers.
I use NextDNS on my home router to block things network wide at home. And I use Adaway on my phone.
I also use Firefox with uBlock Origin and privacy badger.
A fair amount of the everyday apps I use also come from F-Droid.

Hi ... Im art student from Slovakia and I'd love to utilize the ability to to use more projectors from single laptop instead of having multiple laptop setup for artwork installations.
I'd also love to get some advice too since I recently got the old 7x usb hub but Im having trouble getting it to work with displays ... my assumption is that the 3rd party usb 3 to VGA adapters Im using could be the issue. But could be the win 10/11 issue too since I only seen it with win 7/8
Thx for help and prize in the case I win

YouTube premium and google rewards to pay for any apps I want. I just don't install apps that use ads for monetisation unless I can pay to remove them with money I make from Google rewards

If they covered the screen outside the faceplate, so the screen is protected from scratches, it could be a good way to get more screen when you need it and a small form factor for storage.
