People on Lemmy might be more likely to be trying to do things like de-google in general, or try to cutdown on account based usage for big corporations.

So not really want to give Google their payment information for YouTube and sign in to use YouTube.

Mass Effect sound track is amazing. For ambiance so loved The Wards. And Victory makes me feel all heroic as Shepard.

That is cool so data from the watch is retrieved and seen through gadget bridge if I'm getting it right for the features it is able to access?

I've never had a smart watch, but I guess with the way it would work with gadget bridge for supported watches is that you can keep it not connected to the wifi and just rely solely on Bluetooth to communicate with gadget bridge?

Does it support heart rate tracking?

What stands out most from the article is that the 18-24 demographic has a 25% drop off compared to other groups with a 5% drop off.

Not a great sign for the future if cut backs isn't simply due to deciding to be fiscally responsible, but overall money problems for every day expenses.

Reporter Rachel Wolfe concluded that contributing factors to dropped spending included a difficult job market, student loans, and a particularly high credit card delinquency rate among those aged 18 to 29.

I'm PC so been digital with it being the only option that is usually available.

If I was still playing on console I'd be going physical all the way assuming it's not download codes.

People are really weird. Stuff like that makes me not play, but for most it makes them spend. I find those consumers bizarre as hell, but they are the mainstream consumer so we are the weird ones.

We would have had story DLC like Ballad of Gay Tony and the Lost and the Damned GTA IV got as well as Undead Nightmare for Red Dead Redemption.

GTA online is the worst thing to happen to the series, since it killed off story DLCs. Which were a fantastic way to get new story based content for their games between the years long wait between sequels. Damn those gamers and their obsession with buying microtransactions.

I'm waiting for the EU battery requirements to go into full effect to get a new phone. Want something that can be easily user replaced without having to entrust a phone to a repair shop or warming up the adhesive to open the phone up.

Good thing what they say doesn't matter, since goal is to tie up the lines.

Meowmeowbeans social pressure where people will refuse to meet or associate with people who have not been vetted and verified by meowmeowbeans members. So people who want to meet meowmeowbeans users would have to join to get screened otherwise they can get lost.

Solves the issue of people who never signed up to the social media site having strangers uploading personal photos, videos, names, and stories to a profile page they never consented to. Which is reminiscent of doxing in its current state.

So meowmeowbeans certification among consenting members would be the better route to go and socially making those not in meowmeowbeans outcasts. At least there is choice now for people to not be part of the community driven database of people.
