Grrbrr

So umm... Could you technically pirate these updates? Someone could just nab the installer files and share them publicly. I find it hard to imagine that Microsoft built countermeasures for OS update-piracy.

Had a brief FOMO moment about Dragons Dogma 2, which luckily passed and i once more managed to put off upgrading my 1070.

Funnily enough started to play the first "Kings Field" that runs at 20fps. Probably the same i would have gotten on DD2.

Louis Rossmann did get one for GrayJay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ42f-tV_3w

Burning physical bluray discs can take quite a lot of time.

Op, you have the xm3 model that had problems in lower temperatures from the release. I heard they fixed it way later with newer batches. I think owners of the old ones are stuck with disabling the touch-area in the app.

I have the XM2 and XM4 and use them while riding a bike even when it gets really cold. No problems. https://i.imgur.com/IeU3K2a.jpg

There is a future where google buys it and adds a chat to it.

Are you trying to gather a lynch mob here? I think posts like these are quite bad taste. Most wont have a good understanding of the situation.

Does this really fit this community?

That is actually how the Xbox user interface started to look like after a while. It went from "what you probably want functions" to 80% ad, whitespace and "suggestions" with a Play the game somewhere in there.

Since the OP is asking for headphones and hates earbuds, i'd guess that you are suggesting the over-ear WH series.

I tried running with them, the problem didn't even get to the sweat part. It's horrible to run with the sealed cans doing a "toilet plunger" like motion when your head bobs up and down. It literally pumps pressure your ears on every step. It's one of those "never again" -experiences. (EDIT: it's fine on elliptical machines though, it's what i use indoors.)

What i have used for running though is the Koss portapro. It's good if there's not lot of environmental noises. Like if you're not running right next to a busy road. The wire is also a problem, thus i personally modded mine with a bluetooth receiver.

I think that it notified all of my contact list when i tried posting a story. Not doing that again. Removed it in shame.

Bip here. Bought 2018. Have been charging it literally only once a month.

It relieved me from the battery anxiety of my previous sony smartwatch that ran the full googles smartwatch OS. That thing lasted usually a day. Less if i did anything meaningful on it. It made me seriously think if it needed a watch that would do everything, but ended up doing nothing anyway because of the battery life.

I love the gestures themselves. I hate that they "try" to follow device orientation.

It's a guesswork if the screen is rotated or if the media itself is just so. Also i've had multiple cases where the gesturebar is on the portrait bottom but the gestures are on the landscape.

Oneplus did it correct when they had their own gestures. The gestures were always on the same spot regardless of the device orientation. You always knew where they were. Also i think they worked in fullscreen apps without first swiping the gesture bar out.

edit: just wanted to add that i'm on android 12, i don't know if they are less finicky now.
