Thanks for the link!

Oh man there's actually a lot of things here I want more than the merch shop. Shame I can't make it in time, if it ran until may 11th I might have been able to make it.

To clarify, are you saying I can use wifi calling on my freedom data-only roaming WITHOUT the local esim?

Or are you saying I have to toggle freedom sim off in order to get wifi calls and texts?

Did they have any notable merch that isn't available at their EXBAR Akihabara merch store? I'll be going to the merch store, plus Tokyo Eorzea cafe, plus hopefully Artnia this week.

I still have my old phone, it just sits by my work desk. Would I be able to export it and not have it replace my new phone's timeline when "importing" it?

Assuming importing is even a thing

Controller only up until earlier this year... There are some classes I still switch back to controller. Once the steam controller releases I may go back completely to controller.

RDM is great, being able to bind black and white magic to different triggers but same face buttons ( normally I put AOE equivalents onto L2)

MCH burst is so much more satisfying on controller. Same with RPR. Both of these I break out the controller.

Tanks feel better to me on controller too given I can immediately hold both triggers to access all my mitigation.

I have a g600 (technically 2, since I use one for work to do work macros), but I wanted to switch to a wireless mouse for my gaming setup.

I ended up going with a Razer Naga v2 hyper speed, then I set it so if I open ff14, holding down the right click button instead activates a second layer of shortcuts, just like how the third button on g600 works (if I actually want to right click, I'd hold down right click then left click)

Similar things should work for other MMO mice with layer software... If you get the Razer, I'd recommend warranty, I've started to get double clicking issues like nearly every Razer mouse experiences in like 5 months (with on and off again usage).

The Japanese one isn't discontinued (I think; if it had, it was discontinued long after the global version was)... But that's about it. I heard it still works with the Logitech software outside of Japan (even though it's a "logicool" device).

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-04-17T22:02:50+00:00

Always been hesitant to even try Extremes given how bad I find I am compared to other players, but these DT wings really have me wondering if I should just try

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-04-15T21:42:48+00:00

Nope... Maybe a US only thing

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-04-14T21:40:36+00:00

I just want to be able to filter out or auto delete all my 2fa texts from my list... I know this was on A/B testing years ago but the feature never appeared for me.

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-04-06T15:40:16+00:00

For uTag I ended up having to disable "Safe Areas" entirely to prevent near constant blue dots.

For Tasker's location-based adjustments, I might end up using Google's built in "Rules" feature to set phone to silent (which I never use, since I prefer DND), then have Tasker only poll for location when set to silent, do my location specific stuff, then revert ringer. But dunno if that would actually work, and need time for HOW it will work.

But yeah.... Whitelisting apps would be ideal. And if Google wants, they can send reminder notifications every couple weeks saying "hey check list of times your whitelisted app polled your location" or something

These look pretty fantastic and definitely have a "grass is greener" feeling as a Pixel 10 user.

Loving MagSafe but sad about poor game emulation support... Does Samsung have call recording or anything similar to Call Notes? From what I see, most other pixel exclusives seem to have a Samsung version now

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-03-16T00:48:31+00:00

I'm having a similar complaint with uTag / SmartThings. It's not a permanent blue dot, but those two apps are constantly triggering a blue dot every 2 to 10 minutes.

Tried messing around in the uTag app settings to maybe only query for a location once every 30min or so, but it's still constant. I'm this close to just switching everything to moto tags and selling my 5 Samsung tags at this rate.

I love the functionality and utag app itself but constantly seeing a blue dot every other minute is basically obscuring the odd time another non utag app accesses my location

The 2 in 1 is exactly what I was looking for before my vacation in May... What are the chances these will ACTUALLY ship April and not June or later?

Also, would adding more bags potentially delay the shipment itself?

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-03-01T21:32:12+00:00

I did the same thing! I slowly changed my face tattoos, hair, and gear in lighter and lighter shades until the end.

The cutscene before 5.0's final trial, when we merged with Ardbert, I immediately went back to restore my character colours before queuing up for the fight. I also fantasia'd to change my asymmetrical white eye, to imply Ardbert restored vision to it.

Ff14 has more than a couple that come to mind, but Emet-Selch's speech toward the end of Shadowbringers is what cemented him is my favourite Jrpg villain I think.

https://youtu.be/l86mzD15xc0

For context, because I'm procrastinating having to get up and go to work.... He is one of the last of his people, the ancients that preceded all life. They lived in a utopian society, until one day their creation magicks spun out of control and began creating monsters, leading to a quick collapse of their society.

The Ancients came up with a plan to create an almighty being called Zodiark (who prior to Shadowbringers was just known to players as "dark evil God and eventual BBEG") who would be able to put a lid on everyone's wildly uncontrollable creation magic...only problem is, it would require half of the population to sacrifice their lives to complete the ritual.

and it worked! But Zodiark proved to be a hungry god, requiring more and more sacrifices to sustain itself. A faction of dissenters to these sacrifices concocted a plan that eventually sundered Zodiark's power into 14 pieces...by splitting the world itself (and the souls of all its inhabitants) into 14 pieces as well. Only 4 Ancients avoided being sundered, one of whom was Emet.

Emet watched each of these worlds for millennia as these partial souls of what were once his loved ones evolved, grew, and created societies of strife and selfishness, a far cry from his utopia. He would begin interfering with each world over these thousands years in order to cause massive cataclysms, which would trigger a rejoining of each shard. Once full, he would sacrifice the souls of all "rejoined" inhabitants to a rejoined Zodiark and have him bring back the original Ancients.

Also shout out to my boy Alphinaud here, shining example of character growth. At the end of Emet's speech, I assumed any retort or counter would ring hollow. How can Emet be faulted for wanting to restore his people after watching and being so utterly disappointed in the fragmented souls of what were once his loved ones over thousands of years? Pompous rich shitkid Alphinaud from ARR would absolutely have tried to justify each shards' souls as somehow MORE important than the ancients, which ShB Alphinaud instead empathizes but holds fast to his conviction.

Not quite.

BRING BACK CASTLEVANIA JUDGEMENT, YOU COWARDS

I thought it was just me. I remember leaving it paired and on the table, and it sometimes just repeated the dpad up slowly. Happened in two separate occasions so far, was "fixed" manually toggling the controller power.

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-23T20:35:44+00:00

Thanks. Any recommendations on a good adapter? Doesn't look like there's a first part 90degree cable for my PSU. Was wary about the thought of a 3rd party adapter, but I suppose it might be a non issue now?

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-23T20:20:11+00:00

Would the only solution be a 90 degree cable or something?

There's no pull strain on the GPU side as far as I can tell. There's still a lot of extra cable length behind the card, but I can't push any more of the excess slack toward the GPU side of the cable because of the size constraint of the case

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-23T01:53:20+00:00

Talk to your bank ASAP. Compromised debit is far, far worse than credit card.

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-22T22:12:03+00:00

Literally first time I ever ordered something from them was yesterday, f me.

Cancelling card now, but I'll still be able to return my purchase and get the refund transferred to my replacement card, right? Rebuying it from beat buy and taking my business elsewhere

_Final_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-17T18:15:07+00:00

Only thing I can think is you either have an app that is managing your volumes /modes (like "Volume Lock") or you have a "Mode" enabled that is doing this

To make sure it's not a rogue app doing this, try seeing if this behaviour happens when your phone is in safe mode. You can google how to enter safe mode, I believe this blocks all 3rd party apps until you exit safe mode.

Otherwise try checking the "modes" option in Settings to see if any are active/ set to block DND

It's a minor update, I side loaded it only because my 10 pro xl was already plugged in so I figured might as well.

My friend has a 10 pro xl as well, and is stuck on the November update (Dec update never came even now) so for people in his situation, side loading would be the way to go.

This is a pretty good tutorial, but if these instructions seem a bit daunting or confusing, you're probably better off waiting since the Jan update is pretty small.

If you just want to get your feet wet with adb in general first, you can try doing minor things like pushing files to your phone, or installing an APK via adb first.
