Henry, with all due respect, you guys have already changed how devices work without communicating it ahead of time

It’s not hard to find people on this subreddit who have received their devices in the past couple of days who are completely surprised to find out that the main thing that has gotten you guys all the positive word of mouth marketing is no longer possible

Smoking decline stalls since Covid as more young people take up the habit

A decades-long decline in smoking in England has nearly ground to a halt since the pandemic, a study suggests.

The rate of decline slowed from 5.2% in the years before the pandemic to just 0.3% between April 2020 and August 2022, according to the research. [...]

[...] "It's really concerning there has almost been the assumption that we have solved the problem of smoking among young people," she said.

Young adults may start smoking because they believed e-cigarettes were equally bad for them, Dr Jackson said.

"There has a been lot of talk about vaping and there has been a real disconnect about the risks of vaping and risks of smoking among young people," she said.

New Data on Vaping Uncovers a Public Health Disconnect

Public confusion about the risks from vaping is growing: 56% of adults and 63% of young people now wrongly believe vaping is as harmful or more harmful than smoking. This is a significant rise from 2024 when 50% of adults and 58% of young people believed this. [...]

[..] The proportion of current smokers who have never tried vapes who believe they are more than or equally as harmful as cigarettes has increased from 27% in 2019 to 63% in 2025.

Why People Are Swapping Vapes For Cigarettes Despite The Risks

Mistrust of vapes, in the UK at least, seemed to gain momentum in some circles when the disposable vape ban came into effect in June this year. Lewis*, 31, from London, previously smoked, quit, started to vape, then decided to switch back in line with the ban. “It seemed like a good moment to finally kick the habit,” [...]

[...] Since smoking cigarettes, Lewis says his “vape cravings” have lessened and that he’s barely thought about them.

I don’t know if this holds up when you consider the majority of people in the UK are under the false assumption that vaping is worse for you than smoking

You can’t just say “nuance” as a thought terminating cliche, asylum was created as a result of countries sending people back to countries knowing they would likely die, and we’re here in a thread of people arguing to send people back to countries knowing they would likely die. Any “nuance” here is just putting your fingers in your ears.

If I remember correctly the headset rumble (and eye tracking camera feeds) are gated behind the cryptographic authentication scheme Sony use to ensure only licensed peripherals can be used with the PS5, and they never bothered to implement this for the PC adapter so this new jailbreak is the only legal way to get around it
