Ooh, you beat mine: 848330 (unfortunately, mine was hacked over 5 years ago, and by the time I realized, their logs didn't go back far enough for me to validate that I was the original owner)

I just tried this a couple different ways:

  1. Removing permission for "nearby devices" - this unfortunately appears to block both Bluetooth and NFC permission
  2. Turning off the phone's Bluetooth - NFC still works while the Bluetooth radio is off, but you'd basically never be able to safely use Bluetooth anytime you aren't watching your car. Setting a PIN is still unfortunately the only way to go, and hope that a dedicated attacker doesn't also find a way to capture your PIN (e.g. camera zoomed in on your screen).

Even on cars that support it, it has always told you that you need to close Steam to put the car in drive. They don't let you play any games while the car is in motion.

It's been a decently good feature to have; the few times charging was a bit slow for me, it was nice to be able to play FFVI or Secret of Mana to pass the time. And it even synced my saves for when I got back home.

The viewing options OP listed should all work with AV1, I think they were just worried by the preset names. Plus, hardware support should only get better.

OP, you should be able to adjust settings after you select a preset, so you can pick different dimensions/frame rates/audio codecs/etc.

Side note, I've found that the matroska container is the easiest one for me to use if I want better subtitle support.

I mean, if she's already dying, what's the issue here? I'm losing money if I have to stop and call 911, when she has a perfectly good phone to do it herself.

You're not really out of the loop, this was more than 20 years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bnetd

What's scary is that I think the owner of userbenchmark actually believes that statement. Which might explain how he's so out of touch that he thinks his own crap doesn't stink and deserves to be locked behind a subscription. I'm just sad that there might be a not insignificant number of people that pay for it.

Well, they are a minority.

And even if the 240 million laptops were all 24" ultra wide behemoths, that's still only ~146,304 km; not even half the average distance to the moon.

I wouldn't even call the article hyperbole, but if we take the author in good faith, then they're just terrible at math.
