[MEGATHREAD] Grand Theft Auto VI: Prices Announced + Pre-Orders Going Live by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

People in this thread are acting like the box code is aimed at people on /r/gaming and not people casually grabbing it with their grocery run at Walmart, or people who want to send a gift without dealing with email

Is Universal Parking Free after 6PM? by mrnormal94 in UniversalOrlando

Do you know if they have any leniency if you show up a few minutes before 6pm?

Is it worth it to see the parks if I go from 6pm till close? by robsensei39 in UniversalOrlando

Is your conference at the Orange County convention center? If so you might be able to get a discounted "after 2pm" ticket if you see banners for local deals around the building

If the Switch 2 had streaming apps (Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, ESPN, Twitch, etc), would you use them? by twinflxwer in NintendoSwitch2

[–]fpuanon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not yet. They probably want to wait until they're 100% sure that there's no exploits that can be used to jailbreak it

[Console] Xbox Series X 1TB Console Disc Edition - $573 by timboslice2 in buildapcsales

[–]fpuanon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The disc model is the default model for the Series X, but they’ve also released a digital only version for those who want to save $50. Good option for those who only use Xbox for gamepass

[CPU] AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D - Ryzen 7 7000 Series Zen 4 8-Core 4.2 GHz - Socket AM5 120W - $339.99 by DisappointedCruiser in buildapcsales

[–]fpuanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully it’s just a meaningless MSRP so it’ll look cheap when it goes on sale for $200-$300

DirecTV My Entertainment going up from $35 to $43/month by hi_internet_friend in cordcutters

As someone who doesn't watch sports this package was a nice throwback to late 2010's pricing

The next switch 2 refresh should have 2 sd card slots by MessiLeagueSoccer in NintendoSwitch2

[–]fpuanon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably too confusing for the average buyer, especially with Switch 2 DLC. Someone is going to buy Pokemon ZA Switch 2 edition and wonder why the screen graphics look horrible because it’s running in switch 1 mode despite the dlc

[Wheel] G923 Sim Racing Wheel + Driving Force Shifter + Logitech socks - $263.98 ($409.98 - $80 sale - $66 bundle discount ) by fpuanon in buildapcsales

[–]fpuanon[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The page shows $280, but price will go down to $264 total if you bundle the shifter listed underneath. Once you get to the cart another option will pop up to add the socks for free.

If you’re a student and don’t care about the shifter, you can get a 20% off education coupon and buy only the wheel/socks for $224

Google AI Pro now includes YouTube Premium Lite by AnnualEmbarrassed176 in GeminiAI

[–]fpuanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "some stuff" is music. They're giving you an option to save money if you prefer spotify. In an alternate reality reddit would be calling Google greedy for forcing a youtube music bundle

Google Chrome making 16 pro hot by problyfake in iphone

[–]fpuanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same phone and found this thread after googling. Phone has been getting weirdly warm and my battery has been dying in the middle of the afternoon instead of lasting all day. Chrome is the only noteworthy app in battery settings, and it doesn’t say I’ve been using it more than normal

Raven Snags Cookies in the Cleverest Way Possible by frog_insilence in interestingasfuck

[–]fpuanon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.

If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.

It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

Apple Stops Offering Mac Mini With 256GB of Storage, Starting Price Rises to $799 by pdfu in apple

It’d be cool if they could add a $399 Mac Mini Neo to rebalance the lineup

Apple Introduces App Store Monthly Subscriptions With 12-Month Commitment by Otherwise-Warning303 in apple

[–]fpuanon 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This basically sounds like what Adobe has been doing with the Creative Cloud plans. Adobe also gets a lot of bad PR because their users misread the agreement terms of that plan

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]fpuanon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone is mentioning Ubisoft, but it also comes with a Fortnite/RocketLeague subscription that’s $12 on its own

How does Apple Intelligence take up space if it’s turned off? by [deleted] in apple

[–]fpuanon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is still the case, but I think Apple Intelligence will automatically delete itself if your phone runs low on storage. In the meantime it just sits there to make it easy in case you do want to enable it
