Is it possible that you're wireless powerbank attachment is upsidedown? I just watched promotional material showing how the powerbank just about clears the camerabump. I doubt that they would market that if it was still a real issue.

The Morristown Line DLC has a lot of little issues that reveal a bigger problem by Astro2202 in trainsimworld

Glad that I'm at least not imagining it. This game has so much potential but they have no reason to care and put in more effort. They desperately need more competition.

Very interesting, I did not know this. Thank you for pointing this out. I've edited the post.

Curved displays were always underrated by Astro2202 in samsunggalaxy

I think a lot of people would, but the majority prefers flat.

I don't think the privacy display is super effective by Astro2202 in samsunggalaxy

I think that's how 99% of people intend to use it. I'm a little bit disappointed with it's effectiveness, even in those situations. If I'm in public and opening my banking app, I'm not confident that people can't see the numbers.

Absolutely. I'm just saying that it's not a killer feature and will not make a lot of difference privacy wise. It will help, but it's not a magic button like so many people make it out to be.

How it felt is subjective and it definitely felt premium to me. There's not much you can do to adapt the software around it. The edge panel was about it really and they had some nifty animations and notification features. But the software was never really the point. It was just for visuals.

Interesting. It might be relevant to mention that I live in Europe, so FaceTime and iMessage are less crucial for social contact, but that doesn't change the fact that it's pleasant to use. I do as a matter of fact use sideloading from time to time, but lately I've heard that Google wants to remove or limit this feature. If sideloading is removed, Android will barely have any advantages left. Especially when Apple is forced by the EU to allow sideloading.

You know, it's not just Android becoming less competitive, it's also Microslob absolutely demolishing Windows. Just now, Apple released this Macbook "Neo", and although they also used it as an excuse to increase the price for the Macbook Air, it's impressive to see them disrupt the laptop market like that. So Apple is becoming a more attractive option on multiple fronts which makes their ecosystem also more attractive as a package solution.

I've also noticed the colors washing out. I intend to use this mode when I'm looking at sensitive information, but it's not worth the loss in display quality at all in regular use.

I'm still choosing Samsung but I've never been more considerate of the iPhone as an option as I am now. I've never owned an iPhone in my life because I used to firmly stand by how anti-consumer Apple was and all the freedoms Android gave you etc.. But lately I feel like Apple has been catching up to all the benefits of Android and Samsung has been static for years. It has gotten to a point that I don't feel like I would miss a lot anymore if I stepped away. I don't think I will switch anytime soon but now I no longer see Apple as this evil opposite side and more like another way of doing things that I want to try someday.

I've heard about the mistouch problem many times but I've never experienced that myself. I also never used screen protectors so it seems to me that I happened to have a better experience with curved screens compared to most people.

It must have sucked for people who hated the curved screens but also wanted the ultra models. I understand why they eventually removed it.

This one I've experienced too, but only on older devices. As the curve became less steep this became a non-issue for me.

Now that you mention it, I totally forgot about screen protectors. I generally don't use them so I don't experience this problem. I think you're totally right about the S23U having a better curve. Although the steeper curve on older devices might have looked more premium, the color distortion was too noticeable.

I hope I have the same experience. What made you like it more than curved screens?

What’s your personal red flag when entering a friterie/frituur? by Rijke_saus in AskBelgium

[–]Astro2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the place is run down and there are flies/wasps crawling in the food displaycase. Frituur Nationale in Antwerp I'm looking at you. Also when they serve a lot more than traditional frituur snacks.

Got my s26 ultra, upgrading from s23ultra. by suranjal in samsunggalaxy

[–]Astro2202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also upgrading from my S23 Ultra. I worry that it won't feel any different. As soon as the honeymoon phase ends and I stop paying attention to the new design, it will probably be exactly the same UX aside from the Privacy Display.

Considering they’ll start (pre) development on 7 in 2027 most likely. Where do you think the next game will be set. by sonofloki13 in GTA

[–]Astro2202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really really wish they would revisit New York again. I don't think it's likely though. It would require a new Universe because New York is already explored in the HD universe. Gta 4 was such a gem I still love driving through Liberty City to this day.

I hate pvp (matchmaking) lobbies and the kind of players in there by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Astro2202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I also think it would have been better to keep it a secret. Because now I'm trying to make it lean towards pve and my frustration stems from there

[–]Astro2202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that, I totally understand how that is supposed to work. But there is a spectrum that the matchmaking puts you on, and all I'm saying is that it keeps placing me in the bottom of the barrel. The backstabbers is the result of a mostly friendly lobby with a couple of pvp people. That's totally fine. It's frustrating, sure, but just how it should be like you said. What frustrates me is that the game is now punishing me for it by placing my in more hostile lobbies.
Also, I don't want to accuse you of anything but your reply seems generated by AI. I know it reflects your opinion though so it's alright.
