I been using android since version 2 and never encountered this. I guess it depends on the device a lot, as I’ve worked a lot in the mobile industry I’ve tended to have the more powerful devices.

Which makes sense, smart phones being small computers and all, the slower ones are slow sometimes and the faster ones tend to be faster.

Androids diversity has always been it’s strength and weakness

Yeah that’s true. There’s a link in MSConfig to the right screen in task manger.

First place I’d look.

Run MSConfig and see what’s running on startup.

Turn off any services you don’t want and any programs you don’t need. I suggest hiding Microsoft services unless you’re confident, it’s easy to break something and they’re unlikely to be causing that.

As appalling as this is, it’s what was predicted if these bans came into force. Horrible that people are losing such basic autonomy.

What I’m shocked by today is the amount of rape happening in America. If these numbers are accurate then that’s really alarming

That damn algorithm. You send a dic pic to one celebrity and you’re being bombarded for life

Adding my Voice for Zero Hour. Excellent game. the multiplayer, skirmish and campaign modes all have something to offer.

It’s crying out for a proper remake. Just a modern patch. Don’t change anything, just make it work easier, especially the networking

What a beautiful contrast in this thread.

One response with a pointless political slogan and the other with an informed reflective response.

Doesn’t matter what “side” we take compared to the significance of knowing what you’re talking about.

C’mon, can’t leave master of Orion out

The reason is because of the bias in the studies themselves.

For example, there’s more studies showing that internet addiction is bad for teenagers because more studies have been run on teenagers.

Addiction of any kind of harmful to all age groups. The ways in which it impacts people depends on their life circumstances. For example, older people are more likely to lose a job or a marriage due to addiction than a teenager is, that’s not because of the nature of their addiction.

The simplest explanation is that some teenagers are depressed or otherwise struggling and turn to social media and internet because that’s what they have to help them cope. It’s a natural correlation, this study is saying that we don’t have the evidence to imply causation.

It’s easy for some people, especially those unfamiliar with online activities and particularly those who don’t value online activity, to see the correlation and blame. This is really helpful as it means they can avoid addressing the cause of the initial depression.

Your sense of irony rivels an American.

And that combined with the typical degree of kleptomania experienced by most Canadians is where we get the expression “Sticky Fingered”

In the UK all bank notes have traces of cocaine on them.

In Canada, it’s maple Syrup

Sounds like he’s culturally appropriating American behaviour.

I think you literally just described to secret to a content and fulfilled life.

Yes it is. Evidence is against you on this point when we’re talking about population level behaviours, individuals vary of course which includes you

Not that experienced people are less able to consider other opinions, simply that when we’re younger we depend more on volatile social acceptance metrics combined with having had less time to firmly establish our own preferences.

Nope. That’s a young person’s game

Are you aware of what a big deal Baldurs Gate series, especially 2, were when they launched back at the millennium?

I don’t think it’s a problem that trump can run for office, there are supposed to be sufficient safeguards to ensure someone like that can not be elected.

The trouble is with those safeguards, called voters, not working as intended.

You could try to “make a copy” using gdrive, that’ll add a new downloadable version to your drive

I totally agree, Plex is good but hardly worth that price given the issues and bugs.

I’d buy it if it were a lower price or worked better!

The game was just reassigned to a new studio for maintainance, it’ll be around for a few years yet.
