If you don’t like it, don’t pay for it and use something else?

Yep! Fixed it, thanks.

For those of us who used sync for reddit regularly for years, it’s pretty cheap. But if it doesn’t fit your needs, thankfully you have plenty of other options these days!

How am I going to play my favorite game of “will lens show up” now??

I agree that these changes have all been incredibly stupid and devalue one of the few remaining producers of quality TV (HBO), but I think that this is missing the point. The key is this:

Notably, the loss in subscribers didn’t seem to affect streaming revenue. It grew to $2.73 billion this quarter, marking a 13 percent increase.

In other words, fill up the service with cheap / easy to produce reality crap and hike up prices over time. Revenue goes up and costs go way down. People drift away but you keep growing the bottom line, at least for now. The shareholders rejoice and the consumers lose.

I don’t mind it as much, but the wallpaper thing is poorly executed. I have a color photo as my lock screen and a plainish lightly textured background on my home screen. But material you picks colors from the lock screen photo, which I don’t see 99.9% of the time!

This screenshot is from earlier today, but i still get the error on the most recent beta. Was able to buy ad-free though, oddly enough.

I also am trying to purchase Ultra but can’t. Different issue, I think - I am USA based - but I keep getting this error message:

But the point that the reviewer makes (and that many others have made as well) is that it doesn’t have to be like that. When undocked, the decision could have been made to allow the base to be a self-functioning smart speaker, like a Google Nest Mini. This is the functionality that most reviewers have wanted - so that it you undock the tablet, you could still use the speaker for voice commands or playing music.

I didn’t even know it had a gyro… Does the 8bitdo have gyro? And does it work well with the steam deck? I haven’t used gyro controls much in general but did find them super helpful for aiming when playing through Half Life 2 again on the deck itself.

I use two old Google Stadia controllers (RIP!). When the service shut down, Google reimbursed everyone for their purchases, so the controllers were essentially free to me. They also released a webpage-based service to convert them to Bluetooth instead of WiFi which is super easy to do.

The controllers are great and you can pick them up pretty cheap on eBay etc. now that stadia is closed. They work seamlessly with the deck.
