What does ‘user device access’ mean?

It’s one of the Gnome default wallpapers

Because of the fedora-wearing neckbeard stereotype.

If only computers could automate repetitive tasks. Oh, well.

It’s a hilarious combination too. This middle aged farmer watching herself some Randy when she’s not out tilling soil.

Think of hydrogen-power as more of a battery.

Batteries have to be charged with energy from an energy source. And hydrogen has to be produced with energy from an energy source.

It’s great to see him back in the chair. Something about his speech is odd, though. The S’s especially.

I miss the easily accessible album view. Back in the day you could tap to ‘flip’ the cover. Now it’s hidden in a three-dot menu item.

Honestly seems like a good question for chatGPT (is this frowned upon? —edit: yes ):

Phones typically come with SMS delivery reports turned off by default for several reasons:

• User Experience: Enabling delivery reports for every SMS can clutter the messaging interface and make it more complicated for users, especially those who are not familiar with the feature. Keeping it turned off by default ensures a cleaner and simpler user experience.
• Privacy: Some users may be concerned about their privacy, and enabling delivery reports can reveal when they read a message. By defaulting to off, phone manufacturers respect users’ privacy choices. Network Overhead: Sending delivery reports consumes a small amount of network resources. When enabled for all messages, this can add up and potentially lead to increased network traffic. By defaulting to off, network operators can manage their resources more efficiently.
• Compatibility: SMS delivery reports may not be supported by all carriers or may work differently on different networks. Keeping them off by default ensures that users have a consistent experience regardless of the carrier they use.
• Simplicity: Many users don’t need or want delivery reports for every message they send. By keeping the feature turned off by default, phone manufacturers reduce the complexity of messaging settings. Users who want to enable SMS delivery reports can usually do so through their phone’s messaging settings. This allows for a more customized experience based on individual preferences.

I suppose that’s true. Maybe the common factor is just it being a very highly anticipated game. But I don’t think that not being AAA constitutes an excuse for making false promises to people who already bought a game.

If this follows the cycle of No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk, it’s a matter of time before we see the first YouTube videos titled ‘Starfield is good now??’

It almost seems like releasing unfinished games is the way AAA developers crowdfund. Sure, the people who preorder get burned, but then there’s a second wave of sales waiting when the game ‘gets good’.

Drop the price of the original, but let it coincide with the release of an ‘expansion’ to offset the difference and you can sell the game again to the people who held out.

Meanwhile YouTubers rake in views, first on the wave of rage and later on that redemption arc, because people do want games to be good after all.

Well, where’s the turbo button? Are you saying iPhones don’t have turbo??

This seems incompatible with a pretty high proportion of Americans.
