So nothing really interesting. They are allowed to make a guess at my gender, I don't care. They don't have 3rd party ads and don't sell my data, so it's cool.

I know this goes against the grain here and we love to pile on walled gardens, but it's really nothing out of the ordinary.

Why do you need two apps on each platform to replace one? I would love to switch over things but this makes it sound so much more complicated than it probably is

While I agree with everything said, using Google to find out how many episodes your own podcast has just seems a bit lazy. Bookmark the page, and next time you want to do your admin work you can follow the bookmarks and be done with it. Easy fix.

Also, use DDG

Again, it's simply faster to turn off data and scan the QR code than it is to force my phone to connect to a network that isn't connected to the internet.

You have to connect to the network in order to transfer anything, so what do you mean? I'm talking the second QR code that's simply a link to the IP address I linked. I can just open my browser (after being connected to the Switch's WiFi) and type a 1 to let it autofill to skip scanning it at all.

Yeah it's so cumbersome, especially if you forget data being on.

At least you can bookmark the second QR code because it's always the same IP address. So once you're connected you can just directly navigate to 192.168.0.1/index.html and you're in.

I thought all green texts were made up?

Didn't say they fix them for free because of wanting to do good. The alternative would be small claims or lawsuits because or broken hardware, so preventing a loss or revenue

Yes, when you go to their site and do the verification, they were able to link your IP to your discord username via their backend. This is done outside of the Discord API.

Look at the update comment to that video. The bot creator did it on purpose. Nothing to do with Discord's verification system.

You can't get a Discord user's IP address in the app itself as every interaction is proxied through Discord's backend first.

People do click on sketchy links and hand over their IP though, and Discord can't do much about those situations

They offered to fix them for free, so it wasn't about revenue

No, PS4 doesn't get the next-gen update. It's kinda in the name.
