To live in paradise
  • I feel like that is an option for a pretty small subset of the population. You have to be willing to leave your current home where all of your family and friends probably are, able to 100% remote work and guarantee at least for a while you won't be affected by layoffs, and then be willing to make the transition to give up the conveniences of living close to a modern city. For the average Lemmy user, yeah you could probably do it. Average American, no. My job requires me to be onsite and it basically only exists in major cities.

  • What are some good games worth buying on play store?
  • Night of the full moon is a good card roguelike. They've recently added modes that play like hearthstone and other card games too

    Peglin is a good peggle spin off

    Solitarica is a solitaire roguelike

    Solomons keep/boneyard are fun dungeon crawler roguelikes

    Pawnbarian is a chess roguelike

  • Fallout: London is out
  • I think they said GoG provided technical support or something, right? I imagine there was a clause in whatever they did heavily encouraging releasing it on GoG. In any case, for me at least I much rather prefer it being on GoG than steam just for DRMs sake. I've transitioned to always buying on GoG first, rather than steam.

  • Smartphones sales grow, Xiaomi biting at Apple's heels
  • I mean the vivo fold 3 is $500 cheaper than the fold 6, I'd say that's some major value. And again from everything I've seen the software is basically up to snuff now. They all have flex mode, great multi window support (probably better on the vivo with 16gb of RAM), gapps support. I basically monitor equipment for work so I do literally nothing unless something breaks. With that my phone is my main entertainment device. In the video I linked, the battery benchmark he ran had the vivo fold beat the Samsung by almost 4 hours; even if that's not real world I'm sure it still outpaces the fold 6 significantly. My SOT is pretty normally like this, so any improvement in battery would be great... Which Samsung hasn't done in 3 years. And fully charged in like a third of the time too.

    The deals and support come back to what I said in my initial comment, that's why I haven't pulled the trigger. But man I wish I could.

  • Smartphones sales grow, Xiaomi biting at Apple's heels
  • I mean I guess I've never actually used one but every video I've seen from people like flossy Carter and such only rave about them.

    I watched this yesterday and it made the vivo seem pretty much like a clear win. Basically the only thing Samsung has going for it is the software. And I'm sure in its home market this thing crushes the fold

  • How Kingdom Come: Deliverance II pushes the medieval RPG series even further
  • The story was alright for me, up until the twist for Henry I guess. That was pretty awful. Up until then I enjoyed his little arc, even if it did kinda lose the premise that you're a nobody. The combat on the other hand I actually enjoyed and was surprised when after I beat the game and googled some reviews that people were knocking it. The only issue I had was when there was like 5 guys on me, other than that I enjoyed it.

  • Smartphones sales grow, Xiaomi biting at Apple's heels
  • Same. As a foldables guy, literally any Chinese folding phone looks leagues ahead of the z fold. I would love to get something like the vivo x fold 3 but warranty and cellular compatibility spook me. Samsung has me held hostage here in the states

  • Honor Magic V3 is the new thinnest foldable at an unbelievable 9.2mm
  • It's pretty awful but since it's centered it at least helps with it being kinda flush while laying on the desk. My fold 5 camera is so fucking big and off to the side of rocks like a mother anytime I have it like that.

  • Everything Samsung Announced at Galaxy Unpacked in Paris
  • I really don't get the absolute vitriol foldables get on Lemmy. I love my z fold 5 and the use cases are numerous. Need to fill in some personal data? Dual screen your password manager and easily go back and forth. Play games on your phone? Basically ever game I've seen scales beautifully to the inner screen's resolution. Want a second monitor? Put the thing in kickstand mode and have your YouTube video playing on the side while you do whatever else.

    The three things I always hear against them are basically what you said: price, crease, and durability. The price is just kinda what it is; there's a lot of tech in here and it's expensive to make. So I totally get it if that's people's hang up.

    The crease is a total non issue. What a lot of people do is hear about the crease, think about how bad it sounds, go to best buy to check it out, focus solely on the crease and nothing else, and say wow this awful. In reality though, the moment you use the inner screen the crease totally fades away, just how the notch did when apple first made it. You don't even feel it because you never have your fingers in the center of the screen, they're always in their respective halves.

    Now for durability, I can only speak to my own experience. I've had the 3, 4, 5, and soon to be the 6. So that's roughly a year between each model and not the longest time for things to break. But in all of that time and all of those devices, I've never had a single issue. No cracked screens, not permanent marks on the inner screen, no broken hinges. If you go on reddit sure you'll probably find some complaints, but remember it's an Internet forum... A lot more people are going to complain about issues than exclaim how well their device has always worked.

    In any case, highly recommend and you should definitely get one.

  • A Deep Dive Into Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Expansive Character Creator
  • Every time I try to create anything with any of these "never before seen levels of customization" character creators I end up feeling like dr Frankenstein with the monsters I create. Basically every game I play it's just the default model with like heterochromia or something lol. I have no idea how some people create the works of art they do.

  • Nearly 6 months later, Palworld devs confirm Nintendo never drew so much as an inch of its legal sword over bootleg Pokémon allegations
  • I mean you basically stated it as a matter of fact. You didn't go into any explanation of your thoughts and just dismissed the game as buggy and boring in a single sentence. On a post about how they potentially plagiarized pokemon that seems to be a little inflammatory.

  • Nearly 6 months later, Palworld devs confirm Nintendo never drew so much as an inch of its legal sword over bootleg Pokémon allegations
  • Why did you so casually dismiss it? Just because you don't like a game doesn't mean it's boring with a lot of faults. The game was at 20k players average on steam last month, putting it above valheim, bdo, rimworld, risk of rain 2. That doesn't really speak to me as a boring game.

  • Orca Tap to Pay Now Available on Google Wallet
  • I've loaded cash to my phone but still haven't actually used it yet. I'm going to carry the card as backup just in case but tbh how many times has your phone died on you just as you were boarding the teianor whatever? I feel like it's probably fine to just go full digital

    Tachiyomi replacement is out
  • Tachij2kfriends, I saw the mihon dev post somewhere that tachij2k shouldn't be used anymore. Is there a reason for that? Everything is still working on my end, and until it doesn't I intend to just keep using tachij2k unless there's a good reason not to. I also read somewhere that the Dev for j2k said he was gonna make some changes, but I wasn't able to verify that... Anyone know anything more? Thanks

  • Remove Amazon Search from Right Click Menu

    All of a sudden, Amazon search has popped up on the right click contextual menu for me. Haven't seen it before today. I can't find a way to remove it either; I'd prefer not to be reminded every time I try to copy something that I can buy Travis County district court on Amazon. I use the app a lot because of Amazon lockers as well as shopping at an Amazon fresh store. So deleting it (which would presumably remove it) really isn't a great choice for me.

    Anyone else encountering this? Any solutions? Thanks for any help.

    EDIT: After some great comments, I decided to reininstall/reboot and that seemed to have gotten rid of it. TBD if it comes back though. Would still like to know if it's possible to adjust that menu. Some apps I use are hidden behind the overflow menu, which would be cool if I could reorganize. Thanks!

    SUPA EDIT: Did some more sleuthing and may have found an answer. As I commented here, try putting your app in deep sleep. While it kills all background activity, I think it also stops apps from displaying the problem app's menu button.
