I use MacOS, Youtube Premium and I can tell a difference in general usability since switching from Chrome to Firefox. Skipping 10 seconds using left and right keys is much slower in Firefox vs Chrome.

I agree. I have some floor plans of my apartment and I'd love to try but for $50AUD for both floors, I don't know what I'm going to get - or if it's editable after the fact ie adding furniture - or if I'm stuck with what I get on the first go.

Fairly confusing UI - I thought I had lost my room plan I had made until I saw it in the "Submit for UI" queue. I see some broken images too.

In some cases. In other cases they run worse on Steam Deck, notably Tears of the Kingdom.

Yeah, the only hurdle I found was that it didn't accept international Visa cards, and only worked with my Mastercard.

Still incredible that I can now have a Suica ready to go before I even arrive in Tokyo, all using the Wallet app

Both White Lotus and Succession are available in 4K, FYI.

Only in the US. In Australia, you need a Kobo for that.

That's because they cheap out and only wire up one side (apparently). I have a few like that too.

Woah I did not know that was a thing. I am now for sure going to build my own Ambilight

At the moment, SmartTubeNext is the only reason I use my Shield on my LG TV, as the WebOS apps do everything else I need. But SponsorBlock is the best thing ever.

What do you use for audiobooks? Audible on the AW is realllly dodgy for me.

Yep, Samsung (at least their TVs) have terrible quality control and they blame everything as within spec.

Similar issue to you, went through 4 TVs then got a refund. A friend had the same TV and those bright corners developed after a couple of years. Luckily Australia has great consumer laws and he got a refund and got a Sony TV.

1-1.5 day battery life, and still needs to have an iPhone powered on and connected to a network to be able to get phone calls, even the LTE models.

I have to use it, as it's the only app on the Apple Watch that allows you to stream over LTE/cellular.

I'd love to be able to use Pocket Casts or Overcast.
