I can also recommend KDE connect, does not work well on most public WiFi though.

if you’re inclined to buy it, ensure you purchase this without expecting long-term support from the company.

Must be nice living somewhere where cinema prices did not climb. I can assure you its been different where I live.

You got to look at it relatively, a movie never cost even close to $60, so why would it end up there. It cost something like less than $10 but now the average is around $16. Games were maybe $60 and now could be $80, so it is actually a very comparable increase.

Edit: to be fully clear, I don't think there should be a comparable increase between those two things. Buying a video game and going to watch a movie are two very different things to do. Just pointing out that movie tickets did in fact get more expensive. There's also the "creative accounting" often being done in the film industry, I don't think that's a thing in the gaming industry. So many differences.

There was a recent drama around it which had to do with generative AI they wanted to use in the app.
