  • I wasn’t able to use my WiFi ssid in home assistant automations without having location services enabled, for example.

    I was recently(6 months ago) gifted a very nice pair of Bang & Olufsen BT headphones. They come with a 3.5mm hardline as well…but since my phone, and basically everyone else’s, no longer has a port for that…🤷
    BT connection works amazing with both my laptops and my desktop. Zero issues. To use them with my android phone the B&O connection app has to be open, WiFi on, precise location approved. Because of my settings for precise location data not being available for apps in the background, the B&O app has to be focused. If WiFi is off, and precise location is denied the app refuses to connect to the headphones, despite my actual phone seeing and connecting to it with no issues. I’d just not use the app…but without the app there’s (absolutely intentional) audio drops. I know it’s on purpose because it happens in a pattern. 90 seconds of perfect audio, followed by four 2 seconds cuts 5 seconds apart, then another 90 seconds of perfect audio. So I just don’t use them with my phone. 🖕


  • I was hyped when I first heard about it. And with them dropping the shitty mechanic that was putting me off, I’ll definitely grab it at some point.

    Looks like it’s 20% off right now, but reading through the recent(ish) reviews, it looks like it’s still in a state that I would likely find aggravating. Namely AI jank, and enemies spawning/despawning while in view.

    That said, a positive review makes an excellent point:

    We bullied the devs into releasing the game early and are upset that it’s unfinished. I love the concept, but still needs a ton of polish and tweaks to be perfect. Give em time to cook.

    It’s been on my wishlist, despite the now defunct water mechanic, since I heard about it. And I’ll give the Devs the time they need to cook.
