Mine supposedly doesn’t. Never ever enabled Google assistant or whatever it is. I probably have some apps doing it stealthily while they’re in use but at least they supposedly can’t do it while the phone’s in my pocket.

The base version, which was the only one available for a while, doesn’t.

Phillips in electronics is what needs to die. They’re always stupidly small and strip so easily

I changed the password to all my accounts, including the Sony one (and the other ones still in use, and all the remotely important/“meaningful” security-wise unused ones) before they somehow got access to this one. I just got to see them bounce off a few others, which is how I guessed they were in Brazil, from the related security mails infos.

I used a different, secure password for every account this time. Idk what I could have done better and it seems to have worked for all my other accounts so far.

Snug

As someone who pre-ordered the OG steam controller and steam deck I’m sitting this one out. The hardware situation is just too bad right now. Then again there’s no guarantee it will actually get better, but I have some faith in China still

Sony is so bad at digital ownership that it was apparently easier for some dude in Brazil to claim my account than for them to double check I didn’t move halfway across the globe overnight. Also the recovery process is absolutely terrible. It’s literally the only moderately important account that guy was able to “hack” into.

And I did reset the reused password after it got leaked but I guess the guy was able to force his way through customer support simply by knowing the old password and the mail address (that they never had access to, mind you. It’s still secured and regularly checked). Even fucking reddit did a better job at securing my old account.

Yeah I pre-ordered the collector’s edition, expecting to get a vinyl box set IIRC ? Oh well, I mostly got it for the other stuff anyway. The cassette I got isn’t actually functional IIRC (never tried it but I recall the edition’s booklet saying so) and was just a fancy download code (that wasn’t even functional at the time. I should check if it at least works now).

Big money and MBA guys running the show is where it went wrong

Nope. IIRC they basically told us to fuck off

Obviously his phylactery was contained in the Georgia Guidestones

I might buy it to play one of the few games I have that just can’t run on Linux

Obviously it’s a legal requirement but I’m 99% sure it was also on the TRC. Like, even if you were to obtain the proper license to these symbols from Microsoft, Sony wouldn’t allow you to use them on their systems.

IIRC Xbox were way less anal about this too.

Idk if that’s the actual justification behind it, but IIRC, not showing other platforms logos is just a technical requirement.

Same kojima who is apparently very good friends with Geoff “the Doritos pope” Keighly

Yeah that’s probably the worst I can say about him, but Geoff’s events really makes my skin crawl with his overly sponsored/branded shows

Oooh my favorite localization minigame “Missing context or bad machine translation ?” (It’s usually both)

All Quiet on the Western Front? I think I remember catching that error in that movie

Space experts have since pointed out that the vacuum of space does not sink heat.

I’m merely a casual Elite: Dangerous player and I could have told him that.

He’s a genius btw

It’s still a pretty big deal because rockstar games are huge and some people still have bad internet. I probably wouldn’t have bought RDR2 on PS4 if it didn’t have a physical copy of the game, precisely because I was keeping that console at my parent’s place to have something to do there despite their terrible internet connection.

You forgot “AI slop dota 2/CS cosmetics”
