If it's done right, the battery usage of AOD is negligible if the screen can turn pixels off. I always found it quite useful for checking notifications at a glance without waking the phone. I'm surprised it took them this long to even consider it - the Lumia 1520 had AOD back in 2013. Interestingly, Nokia even had AOD working on LCD screens (they called it Glance) with the 920 from 2012, and with negligible impact on battery. That was some good engineering. Yeah Nokia were good until Microsoft destroyed them.2 points -

My Pixels had always on displays, it was nice to have on the bed stand at night when I needed to see what time it was, but it also was bright enough that it was distracting when trying to sleep. I could go either way on always on displays. I do like it when I'm wearing my watch.2 points -

Do cables make a difference? I.E - CAT5E to CAT 7 or CAT 8
xrobwx71 and one other reacted to +BudMan for a topic
Yeah I would be all over that myself But for like $80 for 1000/50 here - no thanks I will save the money, since 500 down is plenty... But yeah for gig/gig I would jump on that for sure! Even at higher price.. But I don't have any options in the area for anything more up.. forget the down.. And they are way cheaper than comcast.. So just hoping for some sort of fiber option, etc. The other good thing about wow is no data caps.. So yeah FU comcast2 points -

360 games were so much better than PS2. Show me a PS2 game that even came close. Heck, comparing a PS2 version of game against the OG Xbox version, the OG Xbox won 80% of the time. The PS2 was technologically behind the OG Xbox.2 points -

Samsung's Galaxy F62 brings Note10's Exynos 9825 SoC, 7,000mAH battery for ₹23,999
MS Bob 11 reacted to Abhay V for a topic
Considering that the phone is running the same chip as that of the Note10 series, I will not be surprised to see wired DeX (or USB-C video out) making it to this device. Of course, they could choose to differentiate between the flagships and this device by omitting it, but technically, it does seem possible.1 point -

xrobwx71 reacted to +BudMan for a topic
I was having issues with upload for a bit, pay for 500/50.. And was getting that - then out of the blue dropped into the dirt like 2 or 3 tops, etc.. Download was ok.. But upload was just utter useless.. When they came out - they tried to blame my modem at first (byod)... So I said sure - put it one of your yours and lets see Same crappy upload.. Took them 3 days to figure it out.. But they finally got it fixed.. 2 different truck rolls.. I have WOW, and have been pretty happy with their service and support.. You should of pressed them for gig if that is what you wanted. But to be honest - 500/50 is screaming fast enough.. I would love to have more up.. And would pay the extra for gig down if the up went up with it... But their current top plan is 1000/50 (at least in my area) - I don't need more down, I want more UP.. Serving up plex to friends and family need up bandwidth.. I don't see how anyone really could actually need gig down in the home to be honest.. That is a freaking lot of concurrent 4k streams1 point -

Console wars round two is here - Time to choose the finalists
+InsaneNutter reacted to ThaCrip for a topic
Yeah, I tend to think the XBox consoles in general are ahead of Playstation consoles overall. because unless someone really gets into the Playstation exclusives, which I never really did (although I liked Gran Turismo(Playstation exclusive) at one point but once Forza Motorsport series came along in 2005(XBox exclusive), there was no reason for me to bother with Playstation anymore in terms of exclusives) they are better off with a XBox overall. plus, I think in terms of moding... the original XBox was the peak as just getting programs on it like XBMC (XBox Media Center) made it quite nice for video playback alone and not to mention you could run your games from it's hard drive along with emulators etc. I think the original XBox was the console I got the most all-around use/enjoyment from in the more modern era consoles (i.e. call it 2000-2001 (i.e. PS2/XBox) to date). but then again after the XBox360 era I never got into any newer consoles (basically there was simply not enough games I liked high enough for me to justify the hardware costs etc) since as I generally preferred PC gaming, especially in terms of shooter types of games as a mouse is just far easier/quicker to accurately track stuff on screen than a analog stick which cripples me. but then again there is very little games I bother playing anymore as very little is worth playing/replaying here and there as the years pass. because while I would say I used to play games more heavily from around my mid-20's and younger, I would say by the time I was around the age of 30 (which was about 10 years ago now), video games as a whole started to take a solid hit as less and less were worth playing and that continues to this day as even when I do play a game once in a while it's almost always something that started in the past, or ill simply replay a game I liked years ago etc. but at this point in time... looking back over the years I tend to think when looking at about the mid-1990's to date (call it 3D-era on forward) the N64/XBox stood out to me the most overall. but I think to this day, I would probably favor N64 over original XBox since I think those games (at least a small amount) got a bit more staying power for me at this point in time.1 point -

restroom reacted to dead.cell for a topic
If either "side" can't converse without resorting to racist, sexist and religious abuse, then I wouldn't want them on my platform either. Agreed. Also, abusing the report function should automatically suspend the use of the report function or at least put it on some sort of cooldown. Can't expect big companies to moderate millions of posts if the tools they use to regulate are actively being abused. The toxicity of social media extends well beyond "hate speech".1 point -

+E.Worm Jimmy reacted to Nick H. for a topic
That would be cool! I need to see if anyone else around here has the game or would get it. I just remembered that Neowin has a Discord channel, so I've signed in and I'll ask around, maybe create a thread in the gamer's hangout as well. EDIT: I've also done a test, and it is cross-platform (PC, mobile). The mobile version is free although ad-based, but if people weren't sure if they wanted to pay for it they could try the mobile version. Since it's mostly a touch-based game it would be a level playing field.1 point
