  • Going forward? RetroAchievements, Steam, GOG, and LaunchBox to tie it all together. PSN trophy integration to LaunchBox would be cool too, because PS3 stuff is never coming to any of those platforms and I have history there, too.

    For historical stuff, that's in my memory exclusively.

  • Webpages bouncing stuff around as various elements load in.

    Back in the day, the space would be reserved, so if something hadn't loaded yet, that space would be blank.

    Nowadays, you'll be reading something (or worse -- trying to click on something), and it'll get bounced around because some other element of the webpage got loaded in.

  • To the last point, I wouldn't trust anyone at your departing airport who tells you your bag will go to the destination. Almost lost a bag that way. Thankfully, my uncertainty made me ask again at the layover airport "just in case"...lol

  • Thank you for this detailed response!

    I have a Pixel, which has 5 years of security updates. That would probably get me up to the point where I'd want to change the battery. But I'm not convinced a newer phone would have anything for me other than better security updates, so it'd be hard to justify the price.

    There's also the fact that new phones can still have security vulnerabilities.

    Since my phone is a flagship phone, I feel comfortable that if there are unpatched security issues discovered, they'd be caught by the public pretty quickly and I could make decisions from there...I just have to hope I'm not a "patient zero", lol

    I may have to get a "burner phone" for any sketchier activities to be safe, though...lmao

    Is that a relatively reasonable course of action?

  • In one article (maybe not this one), the reasoning was that these were preorders, and they needed to ensure that each preordered console was saved for someone who preordered it.

    In that state, plastic bags are illegal and haven't been replaced by paper bags, so that's out.

    Generally, they'd tape the receipt to the box. But it was especially hot in the store on that day, and the receipts were being blown off by the AC/fans despite the tape.

    They didn't have stronger tape, but they did have a stapler.

    Perfectly logical for someone who doesn't realize the box is part of the purchase. I hate it, but I get how it happened.

    EDIT: clarity

  • How often do older devices get breached, and is there any way to continue using an "older" device safely?

    I feel like short security update lifecycles are a form of planned obsolescence.

    With a battery upgrade after a few years, I could probably get over 5 years of life out of my phone, easily.
