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.

 

Just wondering if anyone has been streaming games from their desktop and how it works when they put their Deck to sleep.

I am thinking about building a new desktop, but I almost exclusively play on my Deck and so it would primarily be for streaming to the Deck. My main concern is that the game will continue to run on the desktop either using a lot of electricity or causing me to die in game. I play several Souls-like games that don't allow you to pause and will often have to break away to do something else at a moment's notice.

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.

Could be full-commission sales too.

Keep in mind that the cops don't have to provide you with their reasonable suspicion in order to demand ID. It's not until court that they have to provide their reasonable suspicion. So they have plenty of time to come up with justification after the fact.

Also, on the Fifth Amendment I thought I had read somewhere about a case where a man simply remained silent and never once invoked his right and it didn't end well for him. I cannot remember the details, but for some reason I thought that you still had to invoke the fifth even if you have not yet answered any questions. I'll have to look back into this later and post back if I find the story.

I could see how it would be an affordable way to attention to a problematic bill (if it was still done as @[email protected] stated).

I've never seen a posting that far off. I mean if you're applying for waiter jobs and they list a bunch of HVAC qualifications, that sounds more like a mistake where they gave the wrong position title or selected the wrong job description. Which would be an honest mistake. These HR people are human just like you and I. Mistakes will happen.

And this is why you never say no to a job posting just because you think you're not qualified. Apply anyway. You might be exactly what they're looking for and be an otherwise great fit.

Every job I've had except for my first retail job I have not met the posted requirements, but I've been able to either learn on the job or proved in the interview process that I know the subject matter despite not having the degree.
