I had a folding phone (Fold4). Once a video was playing the fold wasn’t as noticeable as long as you looked at it straight on. From an angle, the fold was annoying.

The worst part about the phone was that it was uncomfortable to hold when folded or not, it was cumbersome, and finding a good case for it was nearly impossible.

I would rather carry something like my Deck in a case than save a little space with a folding device. Those folding screens are also very shiny and super sensitive. You can scratch those screens with your finger nails.

Yeah. I’m not a fan of their shuffle either. I sometimes want music I’ve never heard before. Supposedly their discover weekly playlist is what provides this but it’s always full of covers of songs I already regularly listen to.

I’m checking out Tidal right now. Is there a way to import the playlists that doesn’t cost money?

When you say “a real shuffle” what do you mean?

So far the audio quality is noticeably better and I have both set to maximum quality. Only complaint so far is that they seem to combine artists of same or similar names. For example, it was tough to find Wolves without it confusing different artists of the same name. I found a metal core band from Milwaukee of the same name which I like, but I was looking for a band from the early 2000’s from Massachusetts. Once I found them, Tidal lists other artists’ albums under the more albums section.

Thanks for confirming that for me. Right now my Deck runs games better than my 10 year old desktop. Eventually I’ll build a new desktop. Haha.

Finishing up Lies of P. Debating what to play next. I picked up a few things during holiday sales and giveaways and might play one of those games. Thinking of doing Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Might do Path of Exile 2 though since someone else here said it’s been running fine on their Deck.

Glad to hear it. I have been holding off on PoE2 since I almost exclusively play on my Deck and have heard some mixed things.

I always thought that was the point of it. To be comment on the absurdity of stereotypical businessmen of the time. All wearing the same “uniform,” using the same business cards, indistinguishable from one another.

Replace “a month” with “per month”

And this isn’t universal either. For example, Culver’s will bring your food out to you but you don’t tip. So I would add that if you’re waited on and pay for the meal AFTER eating and being waited on, then you tip.

I’ve had my QD-OLED for a little while now and it has had quite a bit of static images on it without any trouble. From what I read before I bought it, OLEDs in general really don’t have a burn-in issue like the early models did.

From what I can tell they’re better than even plasma was at the end. And you’d have trouble actively trying to get permanent burn in on some later model plasmas. I used to service TVs and appliances. In most cases outside of using a plasma display for digital signage, I’d be able to run a swiping pattern for a little bit to get rid of the image retention. The only exception I really had for a plasma that was used in a residence was an older couple who didn’t have a widescreen source and only watched shows in 4:3 aspect ratio. They finally got the HD channels from their TV provider and realized they had the bars on the sides burned in (really the screen aged unevenly).

I just disabled the “smart” features on my Samsung S95B and set it to run the last used “app.” Which is just the last used input.

It’s not perfect, but combined with HDMI CEC I almost never need to go into the ugly menu. I don’t mind the smart menus of the older TVs when it was a separate part of the TV you could ignore. But the integration in these new TVs where inputs are treated like another smart app and you have to go past apps to get to picture settings is just bad design.

Not to mention serving ads for each manufacturer’s own streaming apps on a device someone spent a lot of money on us completely unethical. But at least disabling the Internet features took care of that issue.

Any idea on what the price will be? I didn’t see anything on their site.
