Yup I have noticed this with my new iPhone 16 pro.
You plug it in and the charging speed as drastically slower than when I use the new ‘official’ apple wireless mag lock (or whatever it’s called) charger.

Ditto same year! If I remember correctly there was a sex scene in it between the two. Our English teacher about had a heart attack diving for the VCR to hit the pause/fast forward to skip the scene when she realized what was happening on the TV.
Good times!
NGL this is funny as hell.
Mainly because it’s not my kid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mr. I’m only gonna be a one term President seems to have a short memory, yet again.
Him and his staff misled and dragged their feet about his intentions early in then he went full out with ‘no I’m gonna run fuck you all’ and it turned into a disaster.
This is just one of the problems with the current Democratic Party. No one will work with and groom the upcoming young members to take control. The older party members literally do not have a clue what it means to step aside for the good of the party and the good of the country.
That’s the spirit!!
Just start ‘accidentally’ sinking the fucking ships that ‘accidentally’ cut the cables and that will get the message across.
My wife has had Hallmark on over the holiday vacation and this channel is pretty much nonstop pharma ads.
It struck me after the first hour or so that every ad break wasn’t like the usual network collage of various garbage with an occasional ad for this or that medication thrown in. It was literally every ad on their network.
I will warn you, as a Dune and SW fan myself, the lore and books probably are equal or surpass them. I’ve been a fan of the storyline since the 90s and with the advent of the Horus Heresy series back in the early 2000s it made my day.
That being said. A lot of people will suggest that as a starting point. It actually takes place 10k before the current events and follows everything that leads up to the downfall of the Imperium and how it ends up being basically the Grimdark setting it is today. It’s about 60+ books and some heavy reading.
The last few of that series (which JUST ended) is sort of considered a separate series called the Siege of Terra and follows the end of the Horus Heresy and the final battle between Horus and the Emperor and explains how he ended up on the Golden Throne.
If you would like something more current and a little shorter read there is the Eisenhorn series. It’s a fantastic series about an Inquisitor and his retinue. It’s a very popular 40k series.
My company did a similar 3rd party app on their phones for truck drivers, to cut down on driving distractions and within days they had all figured ways around the software and were back to watching videos while driving.
If people (or kids) want a way around they will find it. There have been too many examples that can be found already of them getting around similar software.
Best go with the ‘non smart’ phone to begin with the simply eliminate the issue altogether.
Years ago I picked up this roll up tarp I use for my windshield. Fits pretty much all cars and trucks and covers the whole thing with some elastic tie downs that loop over the rear view mirrors.
Thing has been a life savor on cold mornings and even on days that it comes snow and ice.
Just put it on when you get home and when you go out to get in it to leave of a morning there is zero scraping. You can still start the car to warm it a bit but all the work that is required is rolling it up to put it in the backseat.
Granted if it snows or sleets it can make it more difficult as you have to move some of this off the cover first.
If a true nuclear war breaks out between the US and another global power a sealed in ‘house’ with food for a couple months won’t matter. 😂
Hello all. I got some cash from family while visiting for the holidays and was thinking about getting one of the PS Plus plans but wanted to ask some advice here.
They say they are all currently on sale but I know everything seems to always be perpetually on sale at the PS store so I wanted to check and see if right now was the best time to buy or wait?
Also, is it really worth the difference between the Extra and the Premium?
Thanks in advance.
I promised CosmicSploogeDrizzle I would add a little more info about this game tonight. Apologies in advance, I don't do reviews so if this sucks, well it's my first.
I got this thinking it was going to be a full on VR game - it sorta said that in the title, well it isn't (buyer beware there).
The game looks to have three modes, Campaign Mode, Frontline-59 Campaign mode, and Conquest Mode (see the title pic).
Each of the three don't appear to require you play the other; however, the game does seem to have a credit system (for us new to the series). I didn't play the previous version but I believe I read that you would earn credits and prestige which in turn would be used toward earning you new planes/upgrades.
In the first Campaign Mode you start with a couple plane options along with a few load outs. You are given specific missions, etc.
Downside of this - is the mode is not in VR. It is completely in flat screen from the load out thru the campaign. You fly, change views, etc all on a flat screen. Switching views is done by using the controller. Here is a short clip, apologies in advance if it is jerky.

The Frontline 59 Campaign is quite a bit different. It fully uses the PSVR2 capabilities. You pick your plane, go through the load out and then hit the missions. From my understanding though there are only 6 of these 'set' missions. Am not sure what the free fly option is yet since it was locked but would assume it just lets you explore the area in VR once you progress past a certain point.
While it was sorta cool to use VR to look around while in the plane, it was a little disappointing as to how the graphics looked. The ground (trees, scenery, etc) just seemed to pop into existence at a set distance and was very ragged and pixelated. So were clouds and smoke trails. You guys can decide for yourself, here is a short clip:
The third mode is Conquest mode which I haven't messed with aside from checking out the missions so I am not going to comment a whole lot on this one. It is played the same as the first mode.
You are given a map of the territories and missions to try but I get the impression this is the challenge mode of the three.
