    Same impressions too. side missions are outright trash , collectibles are there every 100 m (Why even call them collectibles then?), too much talking for absoultely nothing, i might just drop this , or stick to main missions .

    Good thing then I didn't buy this. I'm instead checking off Scarlet Nexus from my backlog.

    You mean SX? Depends on whether you want to play in RT mode or not.

    Yeah. SX. 

     

    PS5 it is then. Lol. 

    PS5 is a better choice from another angle. If you also want to play via steam deck, PS5 remote play works great via chiaki4deck. This is the way I am going to play most of the time :P

    keeping aside critical things like financial documents, if you try and permanently delete some things from all backups and live life, you’ll be anxious at first but then feel a great burden lifting and will be able to live life worry-free and multi-backup-free


    If you stop posting unsolicited random advice in forums, you will feel this great burden lifting and will be able to live worry free.

    What low key hack are you using for offline/online photo backup ? I'm pretty sure there's something nifty going on in Shantz's home, which will be cheaper than Google Photos or iCloud. 

    Share some tips please. :kisstogether:

    No hacks for this :D i save at multiple places since I'm paranoid about backups
    1 copy on NAS1

    1 copy on NAS2

    1 copy on Google photos

     1 copy on iCloud

     1 copy on backblaze b2

     

    Backblaze will be cheapest. But doesn't have many niceties of google/icloud. I use it mainly as my last ditch disaster recovery.

    I upload the files in Original quality since I have 100 GB Space in Google Photos.

    A little known thing but if you shoot photos on iPhone in HEIC, then using compressed quality to backup on Google actually takes more space (anywhere between 1x to 4x) :D 

    So by saving in original quality you are actually saving space

    Also, how’s the battery life holding up ? 16.0.3 and 16.1, both are giving me relatively worse battery than 16.0. 

    It was bad for me the first week, probably due to the learning phase. It's pretty good right now. I have AoD on, but don't play any games but do a lot of browsing/twitter etc on it. I haven't had to worry about charging it so far. I charge it to 100 around 7-8AM in the day and it's around 20s-40s the next day when i reach charging time. Screen acctive time during this duration is generally 7-10 hours. This was on 16.0.3. 16.1 has been there for only a little while but haven't noticed any dip.

    Are you sure because you can setup family sharing in India.

     

    https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201088

    That article is misleading. Click on the link that mentions which carriers support family setup in India (There are none). So, while you can setup a watch itself under family setup, the cellular function wouldn't work  which is the main draw for this so kids can be contacted/tracked etc. Otherwise the watch is severly limited in this mode so there's no advantage.

    If anyone wants to sell off an old iPhone 8 or SE 2 or X in not so good condition for cheap, lemme know. I am planning to buy one for temp usage for managing son's apple watch since family setup doesn't work in india and managing it from my or wife's iphone is a pain.

    To be honest, it used to be the latest version of Android that used to cause some problems/bugs here and there. Since they used to launch the stable version alongside the new phones.

     

    This year, I think it was a masterstroke by Google to simply drop the stable version of Android 13 so soon. The experience is simply amazing on the P6 (truly snappy and everything just 'works') and I'm sure they've optimised it well enough for P7.

     

    Honestly, I'm expecting P7 to have little-to-no bugs in the initial few months.

    Yeah, Android and Pixel teams at Google are separate. And there can be some...coordination issues. So it should be better this time around.
