Exclusive to the OLED, it has a different wireless chip. From my rough understanding, it supports BLE which lets it stay on while the deck is asleep. Controllers that also support BLE can connect to it and wake the deck up that way.

For LCD decks, I've heard of people buying a smart plug and using that to toggle the Dock charger off/on. If you have wake on charge turned on in bios, this will let you remotely wake up the LCD deck from your phone or a home voice assistant.

Couldn't Arch users just install it through the Nix Package manager?

I've used mine sometimes for watching stuff that doesn't support Chromecast or any other easy way of playing it on my TV.

If the pixel 5 supports it, absolutely turn on assistant call screening. If a number is slightly suspected of being a spam call, it will send it to Google assistant who asks them who they are and why they're calling. This filters nearly all spam calls in my experience, while not preventing you from getting legitimate calls.

Even better, after using it a while I no longer get many spam calls, maybe 1-2 a week that gets quietly handled in the background.

No, never got an email like that. I signed up in 2013 I think, when Play Music All Access was announced.

It's not ideal, but a work around is to make sure the bios option for wake on charge is turned on, and then use a smart plug (controlled by your phone) to turn the dock charger off and back on to wake up the deck.

Well that's worse than I thought it would be. And judging from the graph at the bottom, it's not just a US only issue. Many other major countries (Germany, Denmark, England) have basically the same score.

The scores for the top countries (Japan and Finland) don't seem that high either (US had 270, Japan had 296), but I might be underestimating how much improvement that score change represents. Edit: was re-reading the article, and the literacy score is out of 500. So 296 as a score still has a long way to go.

If I remember right, people who had YouTube premium got grandfathered in at a lower price, but that lower price didn't last forever and recently went up.

However people who signed up early for play music all access were told they would get an $8 a month price for signing up early, and that price has persisted until now through all the other price hikes and the change to YT Music.

Problem is I have this fantasy of being 95 years old and proudly showing my great great grandchildren how I get YT Music/Premium for $8 instead of the $695 everyone else pays.

That imagined sense of superiority from getting a good deal is pretty much the only thing that keeps me going some days.

That's a pretty good price, if YT music ever takes away my $8 a month early sign up pricing I'll probably look at swapping over.

In my experience, practically none of the people who care about Nintendo suing Yuzu were buying Nintendo games anyways.

So they're not losing any sales if those people boycott buying their games. But on the other side, they probably weren't losing any significant percentage of sales to Yuzu either.
