Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

Then the rest follow. If Apple music hike their price again, time to dust off my eye patch. Ive already cancelled all my streaming and went with plex, radarr, sonarr.

Thanks mate. Will definitely look at lidar. Maybe its time, some music like doom eternal arent available in apple music and this might push me.

Music streaming the only one i cant be bothered with since i have family plan with my gf plus discovering new music and new album from fav artist is too much to pass on.

If only i can buy it directly through steam and not grey market. Shit is expensive from where i am. Bought it anyway though and yeay, my unit has bad shoulder button and the trackpad rattles on the left side. Bad luck i guess, seems like those two problem is common.

The problem with grey market is the warranty. Cant send it back to steam. Otherwise ill exchange it right away. Need to send to seller and repair it. Cant even exchange it. Had to send my deck three times before i call quit and sold it.

Maybe in future ill buy it again and see how’s the build quality. In the mean time ill just remote play my ps5 with my switch.

I didnt know SMS is expensive. I know it was but i thought it was free nowadays.

Look at this corporate slave handing down life lesson. Get off your high horse bitch.

What's a good phone now that doesn't force ads on me?

I’m using a Pixel 6 Pro right now, and I’m looking around to see if there are any good phones. However, I have heard that there are ads in the newer flagship phones (Samsung, Xiaomi). I am willing to spend around USD$750 on a new phone, but I just don’t want any crazy ads or preinstalled apps like Facebook. Are there...

3aqn5k6ryk ,

What if the pre installed app is netflix, hulu and bunch of useless things i do not use? Its not a bloatware for you but for me it is. Yes, i can disabled but not all of them. Some just outright disable the disable button. Bunch of services running in the background. Samsung is notorious for this kind of behaviour.

I received a budget galaxy tab from a lucky draw. Shit is disgusting with how many useless stuff in there. Planned to give it to my mother but i cant stomach how laggy it is with android 13. It is not a good experience at all. I had to use adb to remove all of them.

3aqn5k6ryk ,

Of course you have a samsung device. No surprise there. So by that logic, if i buy a low tier device i should just accept whatever shit samsung install on my device? Having a bad user experience doesnt matter because fuck me right? Good to know.

Oh. It is an ad though. Just by having an app pre installed inside my device. Guess what? The app can send notification and that notification is what? Ads.

3aqn5k6ryk ,

As always, piracy is almost always a service problem.

3aqn5k6ryk ,

Yeah. I only have 6TB. Most of it is just movies and shows for plex. I don’t have backup at all. I could always redownload what i want to watch. I noticed that i rarely rewatch what i download. It’s pointless to backup it.

i DoN’t HaVe AnYtHiNg tO HiDe. Every single time.

Yeah. Miss me with that shit. Never gonna touch anything meta related

Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?

Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

3aqn5k6ryk ,

i used to when i use pixel. Gboard is so good at it. iPhone stock keyboard is shit

3aqn5k6ryk ,

Youre right. The reason i went with iPhone is im trying to avoid using google services. Im a fan of Android but google is crazy with all the tracking. Tried graphene but i need something that just works.

Also i dont like having too many apps on my phone.

3aqn5k6ryk ,

Thanks for the suggestion. Never tried swiftkey tbh. Never knew MS acquired them. I guess im just used to gboard when i used Android because it support Multilingual. Gboard is so good with that clipboard function, edit clipboard, swipe to type, auto suggest, auto correct, multilingual and swipe to delete. Thats why i never even think of trying other keyboard.

Iphone keyboard is so barebone. Doesnt even support my language for mulitlingual.

3aqn5k6ryk ,

Eh. Depends at how you look at it. I mean what else is there to jump ship? Graphene? Calyx? Im not young as im used to be. I dont have time to tinker everything. I just need something stable and just works. Grapehene is easier than ever. Just plug it in and youre good to go but you still need to find reliable email provider. contacts. notes and all that

What happen if my phone’s dead? Can i just buy a new phone and restore from backup easily like icloud backup?

Im not here to argue which is better at privacy or security.
