Your friendly reminder to promote and encourage development of walkable and bikeable cities/towns, and to promote good public transit!

Fair enough, adapters do exist, but as you point out, there are situations where that is not ideal. On a long flight, for example, where I might want to charge my phone and also listen to something, or (in my case) someone who does some amateur audio engineering work on the side, where having the ability to simply wire in a device to play some audio is a big plus. My biggest problem is that phones from five years ago could do both wireless and wired headphones just fine, no adapters needed. What have we gained as consumers by the loss of one of those options?

Galaxy S9, and most likely a Sony Xperia 5 IV (or 5 V, since that's supposed to release in a few days). Honestly I'm using the S9 until it completely gives out on me.

My thoughts on it: cool, now give it a headphone jack again and I might buy it.

I'm not buying a phone that requires $100 wireless earbud DLC (which honestly feel like just another thing to become e-waste in a few years when the battery gives out).

Hmm...not sure how I feel about the change, but then again, it doesn't really matter since I don't have beta access anyway :P

I suppose it comes down to the definition of "cheat"; as I recall, the consensus was that it was an unfair advantage because it made use of a one-way texture that allowed the CT's to see the T's, but not vice versa (let me know if I'm wrong on this, it's been a while). Granted, it's using stuff within the game, but is kind of not in keeping with the spirit of a pro match.

Very important message; this gambling stuff is a cancer on the game, and it negatively affects all of us.

I discovered the same thing; fortunately the game crash that was caused by having the overlay enabled seems to have been fixed, so enabling the Steam overlay seems to be the best recommendation to make now. Thanks for the suggestion!

Late to the party, but I thought I'd update with some more info for anyone stumbling across this in the future. @MrHandyMan was at least partially correct in the assessment of the issue. In that thread, the launch option LD_PRELOAD="" %command% is recommended to alleviate the problem. In my experience, this was not particularly helpful, and actually prevented the game from launching sometimes.

However, based on discussion on the Github issue thread, it seems that the issue was (either wholly or in part) caused by me having the Steam overlay disabled for CS, which I had done in order to fix an unrelated crash that seems to have been fixed. Enabling the Steam overlay fixed the problem, and my game seems to be running as intended now.

Still on my Galaxy S9 for now, but I'll be watching for the release of this one. I flatly refuse to buy any phone that does not have a 3.5mm jack, and so far it seems Sony and Asus are the only two players left in that space.

Dang it, I got especially excited because I thought FaceIt was finally going to support anti cheat/their client on Linux for CSGO, too. Glad to see that BBR is getting some love, but c'mon, FaceIt...

For some perspective:

  • Funding given by BofA to the groups listed in the source: $390,000
  • Funding given by BofA to fossil fuel companies: $232,000,000,000

(Granted, this is not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison, as the fossil fuel numbers are for 2016-2021, not 2017-2020, but regardless...)
