Different strokes, I suppose. I have never cared for graphics in a game. I don’t care today, I didn’t care when I was playing Super Mario World as a kid. I care far more about gameplay, tight controls, and later in life I started caring more about good narrative. The best looking game in the world wouldn’t keep my attention if the controls felt like garbage, or if the gameplay was just plain boring.
Most games I like are 2D, so that’s kind of a weird statement. I grew up on SNES, though. My family skipped the N64, so I didn’t even get a 3D console until the GameCube… Which I didn’t even get until years after it launched.
I just own an adapter that has a headphone jack port and a charging port.
I’m confused. It says EA Anticheat, not Easy Anticheat. I thought they were different.
Hopefully Linux phones are not so far away from usable in the next couple years.
I said the same thing in like 2013. :(
You most likely are flashing the bootloader, recovery, and OS all in one step. They can be combined into one image and all flashed at once. I doubt the Android bootloader would be able to boot Linux, but tbh, that’s not my area of expertise, so I could be wrong.
I used to be an Android device developer back in the Lollipop days. I compiled the various images myself, including the bootloader, recovery, and the Android OS. I can say with 100% certainty that at least back in the Lollipop days, and at least on the vast, vast majority of devices (a device could theoretically change this, and I don’t know everything about every device ever released), the battery percentage that shows up when the phone is off is part of the bootloader, not Android. It’s a separate image entirely.
My work uses Dell servers, which have this thing called iDRAC, which is a separate embedded system that can manage the server even if the server is off. The iDRAC can turn the server on even if it’s off. Even if the server is off, you can log into the iDRAC and check the status of the server and see if there are any hardware issues, see if the server is on or off, update the firmware, etc.
This sounds like overkill for a phone, but I wonder if they are doing it this way, with a separate embedded system. If they did, it could potentially use only a small fraction of the battery power Android uses. It could potentially last weeks or even months on a charge.
More likely, it’s booting a separate image - not unlike recovery mode - when it turns off, and like you said, it’s not actually off. But it would be interesting if it has a separate embedded system just for tracking the location even when the OS is powered down.
Ideally they’ll let you turn off this feature regardless of battery implications, because it sounds like a security concern if your location can be tracked even if your phone is off.
Edit: wow, I worded my first section really poorly. But I’m to tired to fix right now. Hopefully you understand what I was saying.
I have it plugged into my TV via dock and use it to watch illegal video streams from sketchy websites that don’t have apps. Most often they are live sports streams.
So an annual raise? I’ve got those at every job I have ever had. That’s not some gracious thing. If you don’t get an annual pay increase, or if your annual pay increase is less than the inflation rate, you are getting a pay decrease.
I use it most days, even as a PC/web browser connected to my TV. I play any classic games or anything not graphically intensive on it. Anything with a medium-level of graphical intensity I’ll use moonlight to stream from my desktop in the next room over. If it’s a particularly beautiful game, I’ll play it on my gaming PC directly, since I have a really nice OLED monitor hooked up to it directly.
