Cheers. You too. :)

Some benchmarks were leaked and thought you would be interested. Link.

Apparently full press embargo will be lifted on the 12th.

On paper they look really good to me. It’s only 9 days until launch of the more expensive one so maybe worth holding off for proper benchmarks if you can?

edit: Unless it’s a Christmas present I suppose!

The odds are partly dictated by betting to ease loss for the bookies so if folks in England were betting heavily on it coming home then it would skew from actual reality of chance of winning.

That’s a great site. Thanks.

Decent game. Way better than the other match anyway. Felt sorry for the Turks. They put their soul into that game.

Yeah I was confused by that too.

LMFAO. Spain ftw at this point definitely agree.

Just as long as the English go out and I don’t have to listen to my brother in law banging on about a win.

Jesus. Imagine it.

Pepe man of the match already. Jesus the rest is so boring. :/

Bit of a snooze fest first half.

Looking like a very solid prediction right now!!!

Yeah true enough but I more felt Germany kicked it up a gear fearing the worst.

Solid first half of extra time. Nobody’s playing for penalties anyway. :D

Same

Well deserved.

Beautiful goal. Beautiful. What a cross. Perfect finish.

His positioning is always perfection though. Experience in action.

Top quality football in fairness.

Good first half. Fouling aside (4 yellows was it!?), really glad to see plenty of solid tackling and people just getting on with it.

Really tidy football so far (fouling aside). Germany just slightly tidier but the Spanish marking is incredible.

edit: How long is it since Neuer’s leg break?

Then steps up to take the winner. Absolute hero.

I did come across the competitive scene there about 2 years ago. Honestly I found it both fascinating and a bit disheartening. There was I happy with my occasional dad game where I was regularly beating the AI on one of the higher levels. Nope. Apparently still a noob after 25 years.

The speed and accuracy that they move and build at is astounding.

It is?! Must look into that. Still my favourite game of all time.

Sold. Just picked it up for €1.49. Thanks for the tip and the link.

TL;DR I think most people are full of goodness.

In this instance that’s definitely the case that it’s shitty behaviour IMO but in general I still hold dear to my view that most people are good and it’s my default position on new people I meet, with some bad vibe exceptions, until proven otherwise.

It’s like the old Mr Rogers quote about looking for the helpers. I see (and try my best to also do and am so lucky to be married to someone the same) so much good in this world.

Ah yeah, totally makes sense. It’s set up the way you want it. Moving from Android 9 to 14 though is very nice for what it’s worth.

If you do decide to pull the trigger and need help feel free to hit me up.

Oh you can have all the google apps with Lineage and your phone is in the “fully supported” list. You just install the gapps package during the install process. I’m in the same boat as yourself - fully tied into the googlesphere so wasn’t prepared to jump without it.

Not sure about your DAC AMP as tbh I don’t know anything about them but if you’re not sure you could do a backup, install Lineage with the google stuff, see if it works then revert if not. Total time I’d say would be 2 hours or so if you needed to revert (edit: plus reading time if this is your first time doing something like this).

That’s a long way behind alright.

LineageOS is probably worth checking for compatibility. I got an extra few years out of my last phone with it.

Well that sucks balls. :( Why would a manufacturer do that?! Bananas.

Oof :(

I’m android 14 on a OnePlus device for what it’s worth.

Yes it does.

To remove internet access from Nova, in android go to:

Settings->mobile network->data usage->network access

Go to Nova and select “disable network access”

Nova will complain after but functions just fine.

Sony-BMG.

Jeez that’s a blast from the past. I remember the absolute shock and horror going around the internet when that story broke then it instantly being exploited by some clever dickhead for malware which I’m sure caused someone in Sony to have a cardiac arrest.

Their wording is actually quite deliberate. They say there isn’t one being exploited, but they do not explicitly say that there isn’t a RCE vulnerability.

It kinda stinks of ass coverage.

“I did not have sexual relations with that woman”

Sounds very much like it.

I think you’d have to do it the second shares start trading. Shares have to be available to borrow for shorting and there wouldn’t be any for the public before trading starts.

Thanks for the recommendation. That looks great. Just bought it there on sale for under 4 euro.

Me too. It’s such a nice way of saying “Awww, you’re old”

Ooh, never knew this existed but jeez now I feel old…

Black Mesa and Age of Empires 2 made up 75% of my gaming this year!
