That's my exact setup and I was seeing, what felt like, just under 60fps at 1440p at maximum everything. The game doesn't look good enough to be that taxing on my system

Just so you know, throwing mail away that isn't yours is a federal crime.

Do you know how rare that condition is? It's about 1 in 20,000 compared to 1 in 5 children being obese.

Because they pump your gas for you lol. Instead you get to be guilt tripped into tipping the worker who's only there to "create jobs".

Unfortunately I had to learn this lesson the hard way as well. Steam on Linux does not really work with the games on an NTFS partition. First to confirm this is your issue I would install a game on a partition that is a different format type. The easiest option if it is in fact the issue might be this Hack posted be a reddit user. Otherwise you'll have to reinstall your games on a compatible partition.

Yes the correct and honorable thing would be for the employer to absorb the costs but this is America we're talking about. We're currently going through record inflation almost purely because of corporate greed. These companies saw an opportunity to blame their massive price increases on COVID/labor costs/ materials cost even though these are only small factors. Yet year over year they're increasing profits. I have zero doubt that if they switched away from tipping systems that they would use that to falsely justify price increases.

You're right, it is amazing. These people are giving honest constructive criticism of a product. Companies often have to pay money to get that information. These complaints are generally valid as well.

The company's commitment to repairability is commendable but it's in lieu of other important factors. If I have to make the choice between having the newer OS with stronger, more powerful hardware or the ability to repair my device I'm going to choose the former every time. From the get-go the device might last longer simply because I won't want to get rid of it as quickly. The 5 is of course a significant improvement over previous releases but it's still behind. If they can deliver a device that is not immediately outdated in comparison to other phones of similar price then this would be a no brainer for me and likely others as well.

Similarly availability is another major factor. You can't buy what you can't get your hands on. Even more importantly it's even more futile to buy one for a network that doesn't support it at all. Obviously the creators just aren't ready to expand into another market and that's fine but it doesn't make the criticism any less important for their mission.

I got a set with my pixel 8 purchase and I'd say for the $120 they're worth it. I wouldn't purchase them for full price though.

The sound quality is definitely acceptable. They aren't as good at my WH-1000XM4s, which are over ears also by Sony, but they do a decent job of providing clarity and moderate bass. The higher frequencies can be a bit peaky especially at higher volumes and I feel it's lacking in maximum volume but they're solid nonetheless.

The ANC leaves a little too be desired in circumstances with loud ambient environments but I get the feeling that with a set of foam tips it would be excellent. The transparency mode on the other hand works phenomenally and is very impressive.

I haven't used them for calls yet so I can't comment on call quality or the microphones.

The touch pads to me are the biggest mark against these as they can be a bit finicky. To pause your music you need to tap once but very often it registers that input as a swipe and raises or lowers the volume instead. Perhaps it's just something I'll get used to in time.

Lastly make sure you don't order it in white as the case especially collected all sorts of marks within days of use.
