I guess the offline it's mostly to advertise privacy. Or maybe can it translate pdf documents?

The metroidvania games where saved by hollow knight. And now there are so many good options, even recent releases (some. May not have the tag).

Get yourself something else in the meantime.

Not really like that.

Right now it's not possible to connect a headset/headphone via wifi to a device other than some proprietary things.

So a general competitor usable on all devices allowing more data transfer for more audio with less compression. I think it could be interesting.

Not just because it would maybe be better. But because competition on a market is a good thing for the consumer. And push bluetooth maybe further than what it is.

Tho if by some misunderstanding, the chip used isn't compatible with bluetooth I'm not very sure... As brands would need to include 2 chips, which increases the cost.

There are services open source or free closed source which are in need of donations.

VPNs do Not need your gratitude. The cost of running a VPN per user is extremely low (just look at the market prices to subscribe to a vpn). Even less for a for profit company. For vpn I would use one offering the best services for the needs at lower cost.

Making a donation to an open source or free service (which doesn't try to scam you, or get your wallet) would require more effort, but bring more satisfaction because it would keep that open source useful project afloat.

Tho if you like a service and you need more from it, do pay for it. I'm not saying you shouldn't.

Yeah it's pretty easy to understand that the 84 is the professional reviews. I guess there aren't just 64 people who put a comment, but 6190 who put a comment (from the image in the post).

The more professional reviews come out the more the score has a chance to go down compared to the first reviews if they were very high. And give some sort of average.

However profesional review scores don't always align to what most users think, as people like different things, but also the users get very much bothered by a bad start. While the reviewers will give a score on the entire game.

Because no one traches them well what to do and believe.

Social media education and a critica view of the Web is still much behind the current state of social media.

TikTok is the last place I'll go check for any serious advice. Just opening the app is spamming me with horrible cringe content.

And the rest are very much unreliable. There are some serious creators, but they are coming from other platforms with reputation.

The other TikTok only creators may as well be false content until verified.

Well, not being able to travel through a system like in elite dangerous or other games, no man's sky mentioned in the there (seemless transition between planet and space), is a bit disappointing.

The rest of the game seems a bit between mixed and great from the summaries in the article.

A more in detail look at each review would be needed to understand where the game lacks and where it would be good.

From the summary, for me, it would be likely that it could be interesting to try. But not for high expectation.

I don't know if that loophole may work. But if it does, it may work only for a time until a consumer association escalates that to the European court of justice.

I see 7 posts too. Maybe setting to hide read posts has been checked. Not sure if it's available directly from the Web.

I didn't read or watch the video yet, but if it works like the current superconductors, the magnetic fields will be repealed and cannot enter the superconductor.

However currently is it possible to make superconductors with impurities allowing the magnetic fields to enter (through the impurities) in the superconductor. This allow quantum locking / magnetic locking.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_pinning

However as said above, you need a magnetic field. So either a permanent magnet or by generating one with electricity use.

Another interesting thing is that superconductors allow to store electricity for an indefinite amount of time. Like you put eletrcitiy in it and it will still be in it after 20+ years. However it is not an infinite energy. If it generates work or it is extracted from there, it will dissipate. As the energy will be used up.

There are multiple things taken in account for the steam deck compatibility.

One of the issues, can be the very small display. In some cases the game may display small text or require a mouse for some menus, and it will be partially compatible, but in other cases it may be unplayable, or only playable with a mouse.

Favourite, not sure. Maybe my "favourite" would be the one which would be the hardest to replace with something I like.

There wouldn't be something i can think off that could be irreplaceable. However the hardest thing I like may be FanControl.

For the browser, Firefox is very nice, but it's "just" a browser if you think about it. There is brave, and other open source chromium alternatives if it disappears.

For mail clients, I also like the Mailspring design, however Thunderbird just got a new skin and damn it looks good too.

And for the rest, I don't really know. Either I don't remember right now, or no special "like" for the software. Or I like the closed source software convenience more (I may also have no idea of an open source alternative, or an equivalent in features open source).

It depends on the usage really.
