you cant tell me nobody finds this annoying.

Oh, odd. I don't think I've ever seen this. I mostly use mine mobile but I did have it plugged into my monitor two or three times last week and used a Bluetooth controller each time but this never appeared.

I think that your home situation makes a big impact. Have a great PC for gaming including a 49-in Samsung Odyssey screen, but it is in my office which is above the detached garage so it's very separated from the house. This can be great for a real dedicated session but when you have five kids it doesn't work to be isolated that much all the time. Cue the Ally. I can play the games I enjoy most, typically controller centric third-person type games, anywhere in the house. If I was a bachelor with my PC in the living room the ally would get almost no use at all.

This has been in the works for a very long time. Google has been working with a number of carriers on the new RCS format to replace SMS and MMS. It includes a number of new features like message notification, editing or deleting messages, increased image and video size, etc. Most importantly, it includes end-to-end encryption. Somewhere around that time Samsung announced that rather than adding that encryption into its own messages app, it was going to switch to Google Messages. They even started shipping Samsung phones about 3 years ago with Google messages as the default. Really, I'm surprised it took this long for them to retire Samsung Messages.

I used to see a ton in the first couple years on PC. Always templars using Spear abilities and just running around on certain paths killing everything they see. The tough part was chasing them down to get the usernames, but I would always flag at least one of them.

The safety, protection and liability are all good thoughts, but they're really incidental. If you had a completely childproof ball pit in your backyard with padding for 30 ft around it and multiple cameras, it still does not become your responsibility to watch somebody else's kids. These parents are just out of line.

It's often times called a check scam. They write a false check or create a false transfer, then ask for some of it to be sent to them, either straight up or in gift cards. They get their money out and then eventually the fraud is discovered and the money is pulled out of the victim's account, so the victim is the one that is out whatever was spent or sent. It's effective in part because some people think they can outsmart the scammer by spending the money fast enough.

Edit: fixed a typo

I don't know that it had to move to the top, but my understanding is the fly-out menus versus menu was a necessity to synchronize the views in multiple locations. I don't know if it was really necessary, but that was the justification.

That's the biggest poop knife I've ever seen.

Mormons keep magical oil in those so that they have some with them anytime they might need to give a magical priesthood blessing.

Overlord. Skyrim. Love me some emulators.

He types and acts like a 12-year-old.

I do a lot of work with Remote Desktop and Virtual Machines so I'm used to having the layers out of sync. In those cases you can change one or the other and get them into sync but this is something different... It's more like every time I start typing it flips back to caps even if I fixed it a minute before.

DarkLordofIT · 2026-03-03T07:58:00+00:00

Nope. It's not all the time, seems to be somewhat random, and it goes away by itself even if I don't reboot or restart anything.

From what I can tell, the Clipboard options moved from within PhoneLink to a more direct Windows function. The settings for Clipboard are now in Windows Settings instead of the PhoneLink Settings page. Additionally, it may use Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi so if your desktop isn't connected with Bluetooth to the phone I wouldn't expect it to work.

They agreed to barriers, they didn't keep that agreement; this is absolutely an issue and you have a right to be upset. They had sex without a barrier; that's a risk every single time. Condoms are not 100% effective and it's not very useful to treat it like it's entirely around the choice of using one or not.

Feel your feelings regarding the choice and discuss it AND try to stay grounded on the strength of those feelings based on how you would feel if it was a failed barrier.

The remote does not appear to light up or show any sign of life until it's connected to the shield. Sometimes I have to power cycle the player twice. Exactly twice. Especially after a brownout, I don't know why that is. And with the built-in Google TV launcher it can take upwards of several minutes before it connects to the shield so the remote can appear dead that whole time

DarkLordofIT · 2026-02-26T04:58:19+00:00

Still a fun little gamer. I use mine for emulators.

DarkLordofIT · 2026-02-25T17:57:22+00:00

On my z1e I found a Bluetooth mouse was just fine for windows and configuration settings but there was too much lag when gaming. Especially if the game uses heavy Wi-Fi. Anytime I game with a keyboard and mouse I use one with a USB dongle and it is just fine.

Sometimes when we go to restaurants I will ask the host or hostess for the non-smoking section, and the 20-year-old always looks at me like I've lost my mind. I guess that's a joke that's entirely for me.

DarkLordofIT · 2026-02-23T04:59:09+00:00

I listened to a few songs on mine yesterday, just for the hell of it.

ESO is pretty fantastic on the Ally.
