If I recall correctly, the shareholders also can and will sue you if you make a decision that earns them less money than if you had done something more profitable for them. So the companies have a legal incentive to only serve their shareholders.
I think the true OG dildos were stone. I found a rather phallic shaped rock as a kid, and it would not surprise me in the slightest if someone used it as one ages ago.
I didn’t want to risk damaging it as I needed it for work. It was much safer to upgrade and then try to experiment with the S8. There’s also the fact they stopped giving the S8 security updates, so that’s a big concern, too.
After having used the S23, I couldn’t go back anymore. It’s significantly better in most ways. I always keep battery saver mode on which stops charging at 85%. With how much I use my phone, the charge rarely goes below 40%.
I did try Sony’s 5 IV before the S23. I really wanted to love it, but as a photographer, there were some fatal flaws with the camera apps. It had so much going for it, too: 5000 mAh battery (S23’s is 3900 mAh, S8’s is 3000), audio jack, microSD card slot, removable SIM card, 4k OLED screen, a dedicated shutter button for the cameras, and can record 4k 120Hz video, if only for a literal minute.
If you don’t plan on using your phone for more professional photos (even though that’s kind of what they market it for…), I would recommend checking out their lineup.
Edit: Oh, and Sony only officially supports their phones for two years. Compare that with Samsung’s 5. So that’s another thing to consider.
You don’t have to make sure your camera is level to get a “flat” shot. You can use various photo editing programs to rotate the photo so it is level.
I’m still using Lightroom and Photoshop for editing, but there are free options like GIMP and RawTherapee.
I upgraded mine to an S23 last March. Main reason was because the battery could no longer last through the day. Otherwise I was perfectly content with it.
Let’s see how long it will work; there’s a reason almost no phone manufacturer includes that feature. Sony has it on some of their phones like the 5 IV. The problem is you can record for maybe a minute before the phone starts to overheat and has to stop recording.
It will get so hot a warning will pop up on screen telling you to watch where you touch the phone or you could burn yourself. Maybe Samsung will have figured out the overheating issue, but I expect it to be a problem.
I recommend sharing this on the birding community on Lemmy. They’ll like this.
I believe it started out as a joke to post ancient memes. And then it just took off and people kept posting them.
That and like most other people said: on average there are older people here, so they relate to the memes of yore.
Beyond All Reason if you’re looking for an RTS similar to Supreme Commander. I haven’t tried playing it in a few years though. I’m sure it’s gotten some updates since then.
However, if you are set on upgrading, I’d look at any of their 6000 series, from the 6600 on up to the 6950XT. I don’t recommend anything below the 6600 from that generation. Since you didn’t give a price range, I gave you a GPU range.
All of those GPU’s are getting heavy discounts and they’re all solid cards. Only thing to note is if you go for the 6800XT and above to make sure your power supply can handle it. While they weren’t as bad as Nvidia, they could still suck down power.
I think I would personally recommend the 6700XT. I believe it has 12 GB of VRAM which will help it last longer in the coming years. 8 GB just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Checked it out and learned there’s Thursday Night Dodgeball near me. Ok, this is actually useful.
