Has what you said been proven and documented anywhere? All I can find is threads of people claiming things, but no actual (investigative) journalism that covers these parts.

Toggling on data collection without informing the user would mean billions of dollars worth of fines in Europe, so I doubt that happens regularly. Still, I don’t mind being proven wrong if you got the proof to back it up

I agree with the general sentiment but it literally says it will update outside of active hours. So as non-disruptive as possible.

And the privacy toggles are set when you install the OS. You can untick all of them the last time I checked.

Sorry for being such a pedant

This is not about US bottle caps

Only on the beta branch at the moment, so if you’re on a different storefront you can’t get an early peek.

Perfect excuse to start over for me. Even though old saves should be compatible, but with early access YMMV

Why would Valve delist a game? Can you elaborate on what kind of speculation was made?

Phantasy Star Online Ep. 1 & 2 has two loading screens where you can manipulate the location or speed and angle of the visuals on-screen. Not super interactive but enough to make the loading times feel less long

I should have been a bit more clear, I meant putting your phone on silent and still wanting to be able to call each other / ping each other to make a noise.

THAT use case is pretty rare.

That’s definitely another way to get the phone’s “voice” across! Glad it worked out for you. No more lost phones!

While that’s fine, that’s not exactly the intended use so that’s why you are running into problems as you can’t force volume to go up from another phone.

Start putting on DnD instead of lowering your ring volume to zero, and you can make it work.

If you don’t want to deviate from your out of the ordinary use case, then your best bet is some parental control app that allows you to view each other’s location.

Settings > Sounds & Vibration > Do Not Disturb > Select “Favorites” in the drop down under Exceptions.

Then in your contacts app, favorite each other and test it out!

Can you not whitelist each other as a contact that will override the mute?

I don’t think he’d put the nickname that his enemies use for him on his CV.

At least, that’s how I interpreted the name. Similar to the Dung Eater in Elden Ring

For some reason I was thinking the prologue would stop being available at release like a demo, but that’s just my sprinkled size brain being tired. I totally get it now, thanks

What made you decide to release a separate free app vs a demo on the original app? Not critiquing the choice, just curious what the reasoning could be.

I looked at the trailers and I think it would be helpful if your towers and other friendly buildings / units have a different coloured orb compared to enemies. I found it very hard to distinguish between friend or foe. That could be less impactful when playing, but first impressions leave me slightly confused. Put it on my wishlist!

Saw RCE play this and while the combat wasn’t shown, it’s like Anno had a baby with Mount and Blade. Am tempted to pick it up for sure, I miss playing both

I understand. You’re right that anxiety (or any emotion) isn’t rational, but try to remind yourself that communication is a two way street.

They obviously hold a position of power considering they are your boss, but it would be good to discuss expectations and boundaries to prevent miscommunication in the future!

Why are you fretting because your boss sucks at communication? Establish your expectations and communicate these. They should be able to give you direct goals when necessary.

It’s not useful, as it doesn’t always reflect reality so it’s just a bunch of loading bars to manage customer expectation. Ask the domino’s subreddit

Apparently the prompt for asking is triggered because the “new” version is a different executable than the shortcut you’re using is pointing to. So you could fix that by creating a new shortcut.

Another fix would be to get rid of Teams, but when you’re on a corporate license there’s not much we can do about that

And if you want to do anything with the settlements that doesn’t waste infinite amount of time, Sim Settlements 2 just dropped and it’s great!

I dunno man, I installed Sim Settlements and I wasted the rest of my playtime building settlements instead!
