But a zoo on a airplane does make sense.

I don't count loosing the game via a random meme. It misses the intent, to loose one must think of the game on their own. If you loose whenever someone randomly shouts all about it trying to force people to loose - thats just lame.

Most developers won't care unless they have their own store. If I'm sony and want my games to stay on PlayStation that fine.

If I'm a indi game dev (or one who isnt owned by MS yet), I want my game to be cross-platform to maximize potential sales, great. In 2 years, if one my PlayStation sales wants to jump to Xbox, they're unlikely to re-buy my game again. They'll just forget about it or pirate it, so I'm not really loosing a sale.

For a lot PC software, you buy a license from the developer directly and if they offer a cross-platform software, they dont care if you're on windows or mac. They might care about how many activations you have, but that's about it. There is no app store middle man.

Honestly, I'd rather see the focus on making it so we can transfer purchases across app stores/devices.

So many people get stuck with one manufacture because they baught some apps over the years and don't want to buy them again.

Even just making the stores talk to eachother would be enough. If I add my Google account to the Apple App Store, the app store can pull the list of purchased compatible software from the play store and sync it with my apple library.

Throw things like the xbox store and PlayStation store into the mix too. To be clear, that doesn't mean exclusives or incompatible things needs to be compatible, thats silly. But if I buy somethibg like cross- platform like BG3 on the PlayStation, I want to transfer that to the Xbox or PC if I change consoles.

My 5a sensor is fantastic (it is on the back). I'll be sad when it's time for this phone to go.

On pixel, if you ever need to - press and hold the power button, select "lockdown".

(It might apply to other androids too, I don't know.)

You will now need a pin to unlock the phone. This disables the lock screen shortcut (camera, light, etc) as well.

Why disable your convence features for an scenerio that is not likely and can be quickly and easily be prevented.

Universal: You could also just the tap the sensor with a "wrong" finger a few time, and the pin will be required.

Maybe don't do this one in front the cops...if you find your self in a postion where they are trying to unlock your phone, you probably don't want to piss them off. .


Edit: I'm surprised no one called me out on "if you're ever need to". The sentence was going to be "if you're even in a situation that needs...", but that was getting too long. Forgot to change you're to you.

  • you walk into another room, but can't remember why you're there.
  • You go downstairs to grab something, do 5 other unrelated things, go back upstairs and immediately remember why you went down in the first place.

Me: when you're ready let's do the thing we'd agreed we wanted to do around now.

Them: okay. (drops everything)

Me: okay...I knew you're in the middle of something, I can wait 5 minutes.

Them: ugg, no, its fine let's just go now.

(Later with someone else)

Them: Ugg, I always feel rushed to do things with [me].

Other: you know he'll will wait for you right, its not a big deal.

Them: I know, but I feel bad. I dont like wasting his time...(he doesn't have a lot of it left).
