Even Nintendo has gyros in their controllers

Nintendo have had gyros in their controllers since 2006 with the release of the Wii. Basically right there with Sony (Nov 11th vs Nov 19th 2006)

If the cause of this is because of Cyberpunk then that's ridiculous. It'd be like Steam deleting cloud saves because someone's Half Life save file got too big... It's their own game, marketplace and ecosystem.

I used to turn to custom roms to extend the life of my phone. My first smartphone didn't get an official update after I purchased it for example. The custom roms often made the phone snappier too.

These days I'm on a mid range Samsung phone released almost 4 years ago and it's still getting updates.

That's super interesting. Do you have a source you could link for this data?

The Android app has done this for years too.

After connecting my (non Microsoft) email account to the Outlook Android app I noticed the login location was geolocated in the USA... I live in Australia.

Unfortunately there's no way to turn it off.

Not the previous poster. I taught an introduction to programming unit for a few semesters. The unit was almost entirely portfolio based ie all done in class or at home.

The unit had two litmus tests under exam like conditions, on paper in class. We're talking the week 10 test had complexity equal to week 5 or 6. Approximately 15-20% of the cohort failed this test, which if they were up to date with class work effectively proved they cheated. They'd be submitting course work of little 2d games then on paper be unable to "with a loop, print all the odd numbers from 1 to 20"

Similar here, bought car in 2011 and will drive it till it dies. I'm happy with an 3.5mm port.

But for those that do feel like Bluetooth etc are must have features. You can buy head units, with touch screens and Android auto and Apple CarPlay for only a few hundred dollars, and often support connecting rear cameras etc.

Blast from the past! I had this on cdrom. As a child I remember our old computer that had Sim City 2000 on didn't have a cdrom drive. Our new computer did. I fondly remember copying my favourite cities from the old to new via floppy disk. Those were the days!

I think if anything I'd view it from the other direction. We had machines with hardware support for memory protection and multitasking and we got DOS. DOS was the abberation.

Microsoft was a Xenix vendor before it sold DOS.
