Guess I lucked out. Though I did pay $30 for ultra lifetime, right before Reddit killed the app, in order to support the dev. So it balances out I suppose.

Agreed! We need that feature back!

Did my app glitch or something? I installed day one, then a few hours later an update dropped with the option to pay $13 for lifetime ad-free and I immediately paid that. Now everyone’s complaining it’s $20?

I don’t see this option on my app? Where is this?

Pre registered! Will this also have the option for the old style of comments? I’ve been using sync for so long that I prefer the old sync comments style to the new one lol.

OMG yes please, that would be really cool to know!

I really miss hot swappable batteries. Just carry a small spare battery and swap it when needed. So much now convenient than needing to plug it in to top up.

IMO the law is intended to reduce consumer electronic waste, making batteries that anyone from kids to grandparents can easily replace themselves. Currently the steam deck battery isn’t all that difficult to replace for the tech savvy “brave” folks who happily open up their devices and see the internals, but for most people that’s not good enough. I would never expect my 68 year old mother to replace it herself. IMO the aim is to make batteries replaceable like the PS5 SSD expansion capacity is. Just need a screwdriver and a few minutes, without every feeling like you might break something. Needing anything more than that and most people won’t do it out of fear they’ll break their device.

But only time will tell what actually happens.

ifixit: “Battery replacements definitely seem to be the steam deck’s achilles heel”

Easy to open yes, but still very challenging to replace the battery. Doesn’t seem to comply to the new rules to me.

Good thing you had a removable battery so you could charge the battery outside the phone lol

Give me a phone with a removable battery in the style of the HTC Sensation 4G. Sexy, metal, easy to open and swap the battery. It was an incredible device that I remember using fondly.

I think you misunderstood, I used the revanced manager to patch Sync so I could continue to use it, not the official app to just remove ads (which would still be an improvement).

Clearly it’s actually 99 which is a reference to Brooklyn nine nine the TV show!

Ooh Wee!

Yesterday I (30m) hosted my first house party ever! I had 6 friends over, plus my brother and I, for 90 min before I was all socialized out and the party concluded.

It all happened because 2 weeks ago I watched the Ethan Chlebloski video on balsamic vinegar, and I searched and found some traditional balsamic vinegar that instead of costing $33 - $50 / oz, was less than $1/oz! And from what I can tell, yes it is legit. It just is an import blend from multiple Italian manufacturers and sold by a California company called Calivirgin. So instead of a single certified vinegar from one manufacturer that is a guaranteed specific age, it’s an uncertified blend of vinegars from Italy that is aged “up to” 18 years which is fine by me if it’s 98% less costly!

So after reading tons of glowing reviews for this “Calivinegar” product, I ordered a gallon jug for $125 ($112.50 after a 10% coupon I found after some googling) and I planned to open it at my house party which we did.

It was delicious! Everyone loved it! The label says only 10 cal and 2g of sugar per tablespoon, but it’s really sweet and thick, just like the balsamic in the video. I also bought empty hot sauce bottles and gave each of my friends one of them to take home too, and one of their wives texted me after that it was the best they’d ever had too! Then we watched fireworks later that night, and watched an episode of the Orville. Overall, a really really good day. 😊

Revanced manager can make it work again with a little effort on your part. I did it with Sync for reddit, but I still don’t use reddit as much as before. It just doesn’t very feel good anymore, so I just occasionally browse reddit through Sync now. Looking forward to Sync for Lemmy!

I’m still on both, on Reddit using a revanced modded copy of Sync for Reddit and I will use Sync for Lemmy when it launches. But I’m spending more time on Lemmy because it feels better here and the discussions are more interesting to me.

There are only 25% of my subscribed subreddits with equivalents on Lemmy right now, but with time that will grow and I expect I’ll drop Reddit entirely. Fuck them anyway.

Only reason I’m still browsing is because I was able to get Sync to still work with that mod, Sync is my version of Reddit and I said I’d stop using Reddit if I couldn’t use Sync so I found a way to use Sync still.

I didn’t know it was you.
