With the major caveat that dispos dont offer more than 2 of those features at best. Almost all those features you specify are on reusable devices. There are going to be some that do have those additional features, but at a price point that makes them nearly as or more costly than a reusable device.

The only IC you need for a disposable really, is a BMS, and a temp sensor (technically a timer so it also doesnt over draw, but timer ICs are built into everything) so it doesn't willfully light itself on fire in unusual circumstances.

All that to say: there is effectively 0 difference between most disposables released today and reusables, with the sole exception that you cant refill or recharge them. There should be no device with a battery deliberately intended to be thrown away, for anything, save for medical uses.

That project was started on the basis of "normalizing nuclear blasting", not on one of "doing something good".

That doesn't help anyone getting a new device, or if they retroactively brick the ability to root your devices that were previously able. I was going to root the S23 Ultra I type this on, but that is not longer possible as I missed the memo on Samsung flat out removing the ability to do so.

Jared Leto was in active controversy the near entire time. The only reason it made sense to do, is because it was never going to remove him from the role.

This is exactly how it's going for me. I've been simply too lazy to move everything, test it all, and probably do it all over a couple times to find the distro I actually like.

That would be from the 8 redesigns they've done in the past year or so. Not going to praise the dumpster fire, but intuitiveness has not been an issue for most of discords common uses. If you were incessantly messing with settings of a server though, that'd track.

Damn I'm blind huh. Thank you for the correction.

What do you mean we? We literally cannot cede to a foreign power without a unanimous vote, which will never happen. You desperately need to read our charter of ~~rights and freedoms~~, if you actually are Canadian.

E: see below for where it actually came from, I'm a wee bit daft.

It is a real thing. Very few people have identical ears on both sides of their head, and almost no one shares the same shape with another person. There's a few active implementations of this on truly wireless earbuds, but the latency makes it irrelevant for most things except music. Depending on just how unique the ear shape is, it can drastically change how things sound.

In no capacity should it be a paid feature in a game, though. In a more competitive game with a lot of value placed on audio like Escape From Tarkov, this would completely change the game and how it is played.

TLDR: Your ears are unique, and your brain spends your entire life from the moment your ears are hearing things, tuning to them.

That is certainly true, I guess I needed to specifically call out that he actually does reply. And this has been a constant recurring "rediscovery" every few years that GabeN personally responds to that email.

That also wasn't the particular point I was even talking about. The point was that a previous dev would most likely still have connections inside Valve given how easy it is for outsiders. And that even if they had zero connections, again, it would be super easy to get a response.

This is all just speculation, but a relatively confident one.

Honestly, knowing how easy it is for just about anyone to contact GabeN (his email is publically accessible) and that this was a previous tester, I would say there's decent odds they're already contacted someone to make sure or already had permission to do so in some roundabout way. I have no way of knowing for sure, obviously, but it is super weird for this to pop up without the finder messaging anyone in Valve about it.

Either, just to be safe.
