The point is that method doesn’t work for the feediverse where things are constantly updating. It’s ok to expect that an app is maintained, especially when asking that high a price. I don’t get all the blind defence people have for Sync. It’s a highly priced app for a platform that’s entirely free and there hasn’t been an update or peep for months. It’s ok to question it. People would be for any other app.
Exactly, it was a crappy stop gap solution.
Honestly, you should cut your losses and just move onto another app. You can always see if an update comes in the future, but for now there are plenty of good free options that are being maintained.
Yet they still get around it through sound mixing. Any regulations against using jingles or having ads interrupt what you’re watching?
I hardly watch it either. Just found it funny all the complaints above could be applied to what free to air tv has been doing for decades.
Sounds like you haven’t watched a lot of free to air tv haha
After watching the movie twice, then reading the book and watching the movie a third time. I now know what’s going on.
Me too. But I still really enjoyed the weirdness of it.
The event is being held 4 Oct, so shouldn’t be much longer.
What is/are Moto Flashlight and Camera gestures? And what phone do you now have?
It’s not a walled garden, it’s kind of the opposite. You can connect devices regardless of brand and it’s a server you can run locally. In theory you wouldn’t need to update it or ever connect it to the internet again, as long as your devices can run locally.
If you have an old laptop or a raspberry pi 4, you can always give it a try before scrapping what you’re currently using.
Where did Microsoft or Larian say that was an option? Where did Microsoft say that they would be happy to have features cut from the X to keep parity with the S?
I pointed out how poor a business decision this would be if Microsoft would allow it. It ruins their offering for the Series X. How can it compete with the PS5 if they start allowing developers to drop features from Xbox games? The entire point of the article is that Microsoft has boxed themselves into this corner. And your suggestion isn’t a good solution.
It’s literally in the title…
Microsoft’s Xbox Series S Parity Demands
And in the article…
While there would be some variance in technical capabilities between consoles, feature parity between the two would remain the same. It would remain the same because Microsoft would demand it remain the same, from both its own studios and third parties.
Hey guys, you should get a Series X because BG3 is coming out. Sure it will be missing features that you’ll get on the PS5 like split screen, but you guys understand we need to support the Series S and have parity between our two consoles.
So even though you spent more money on a Series X, that’s capable of running the full game that the PS5 is getting, you should just be happy that you’re getting the game at all. Don’t worry about having paid for a console that’s capable of more.
-Microsoft
Let’s say that’s something Microsoft would even allow, it diminishes the ability to compete with the PS5. Why would I get a Series X if there’s a chance that some big game launches will have less features than other current gen platforms?
Microsoft really hamstrung this generation of consoles by releasing the S and demanding it runs feature parity with the X.
My comments are actually after seeing the local pricing. I still think it’s too expensive. Perhaps other locations are more affordable.
This post is asking what apps are worth paying for. Someone suggested Sync is worth paying for. I disagree and offered a different opinion. No one said you had to pay for it, just whether it was worth paying for or not.
I’m sticking with Voyager for now. Sync is too expensive for a beta app. There’s no post functionality in it yet. I’m also not sure how I feel about paying so much for an app to access Lemmy. I’d rather put some of that money into the instances themselves.
Edit: I should say it’s totally up to you if you think it’s worth it. I’m all for supporting developers for their work. But in my opinion Sync isn’t worth the asking price in its current state, especially compared to the other apps available.
Honestly, there are actually some great apps on Android that are feature rich and I think all the others I know about are free too. I’m using Voyager and really liking it. Which is why I can’t spend $25 on Sync. It’s just way too much and despite having a great UI, is missing features like being able to submit a post.
Edit: To be clear, Sync is free with ads. Other apps I’ve tried are free and ad free.
All you’re gonna find here is blind defence of Sync. I used it for Reddit and it was amazing, but honestly, the Lemmy app isn’t worth it. Voyager is great if you’re looking for an alternative. It’s free and it’s maintained with updates almost every week.
