If you buy a foldable and are spending $1000-$2000 it makes no sense to not spend the extra money on service plans. Even with all the improvements Samsung foldables still fail at a higher rate than normal phones.

These are niche phones.

I wish it was a sequel instead of a remake but remakes are much easier for a business to justify.

Not sure this has any real consequences for gamers?

At one point I saw a bunch of people in a Reddit thread saying they liked it a lot.

Agreed, I don't understand people who actually like curved screens.

A few years ago I was on team keep the jack but at this point it's not as necessary. USB C headphones exist, wireless headphones have gotten quite good, and if you use one pair of 3.5mm headphones if you keep a dongle on it it's really not that inconvenient.

Honestly reddit.com/r/usenet was the best but we know how that's going. You can web search but basically you pay for a provider, sign up for indexers who are like torrent trackers and provide .nzb files. You use either SABnzbd or NZBGet to download the actual files. Sonarr and Radarr are automation tools. There's some other concepts like retention and backbones but that's not as important to get started.

https://frugalusenet.com/ is a good provider to get started. https://www.nzbgeek.info/ and https://nzbplanet.net/ are good indexers for beginners. I recommend SABnzbd over NZBGet as I don't think get is actively being developed for anymore.

https://trash-guides.info/ is very good for Sonarr/Radarr set up but it can be quite overwhelming for non-technical users or beginners.

I also just remembered cache exists so poke around https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ZU9NxnpPelwJ:https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/faq/&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

I gave up on torrents a while ago and just focus on Usenet. It cost money (~$3/mo for a provider and another ~$2-3/mo for indexers) but it's encrypted and doesn't rely on P2P.

Also don't forget that DVDs exist if you want to go a more legal route.

TBH I usually just search reddit soccer streams and something comes up. Just be sure you've got browser protection.

You also aren’t reliant on someone else running an instance that could go down at any time, either permanently or an outage.

You have to worry about it yourself though.

The best thing that can happen is development on Lemmy or other alternatives actually makes progress.

I see that so much in games these days. I'm fine with a game that improves a formula but it's clear there's a lot of just straight up inferior copying going on.
