The problem I have is the AD has a year of warranty and I want to have it polished by the dealer instead of from an independent jeweler. If C24 outright ban the AD, is there any way for them to still honour the warranty?

Absolute beauty. I personally would opt in for a GMT style bezel for better readability/usability. But it is a beauty regardless and every mod is tastefully done.
I noticed that a few dealers that I frequently use simply disappeared. I contacted directly one of them and apparently, there's stricter guideline for authorized dealer. Is anyone aware of it or if you have similar experience with authorized dealer?

The calibre 7s26 is a workhorse movement and fairly simple. If you have the time and is pretty handy, you can try to follow this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHF9xMJ7tmQ to disassemble it and check what's wrong.
Otherwise, you can bring it to an independent watch repair shop. It would be less expensive than the swiss counterpart.

Is there something similar for iOS?

Are you on Windows? I noticed that ui feels faster and more fluid. and there are quite a few nice qol improvements.
Sorry that you are having issues, maybe you can check if Steam offers a legacy version or some kind of roll back until they address your issues?

This is a more detailed presentation (less technical) of the update with a lot of screenshots.

There are some very noticeable interface changes. Looks much cleaner imo.

Title looks like it comes straight from the Onion.
If I want to purchase the game on Steam. Do you recommend Shattered Pixel Dungeon or Pixel Dungeon? What are the main differences?

If you didn't like Limbo, you probably won't like Inside. They have average platformer mechanic but it's more the atmosphere and the ambiguous story which makes it quite unique.

Official Reddit will probably half ass a text to speech thing very soon and start to charge RedReader like the other 3rd party apps.

A jubilee similar to the one in the video or a dark brown alligator straps would be fine as well.

I highly doubt that I would own one.
Asus is jumping to the handheld device hype after Switch and Steam Deck. But Asus doesn't have the best track record with post release support and customization. I trust them even less with the overvolting scandal that just happened a couple of weeks ago.
If you compare spec only, Ally clearly wins over Steam Deck. But if you consider post release support, aftermarket customization, userbase, Steam Deck is miles ahead.

Mindustry and Shapez.io. If you are a fan of Factorio, I highly recommend these two games.
Mindustry is a combination of resource management automation/tower defence/light RTS. https://mindustrygame.github.io/
Shapez.io is pure management automation but with a quite aesthetic vibe.
https://shapez.io/
https://github.com/tobspr-games/shapez.io
Both are also available on Steam if you want to support the developer.

Even a lot of non EVs rely on cloud service for safety measure (Lane keeping assist, emergency braking comes to my mind first). There are more and more assist in vehicles in general. Seems like government and laws are pushing for it. So I don't think it will stop in the near future (5-10 years)
There's obviously privacy concern but I find a lot of the automated system don't even have manual override. Unlike plane autopilot where it can always be overriden by manual interaction as fallback. A lot of vehicles don't have redundancy design like this so I see this is a huge problem.

This is the article in case you can't go pass the paywall.
A startup has developed a solid-state battery suitable for electric cars that can fully charge in minutes and lasts more than twice as long as current EV batteries.
After successfully demonstrating a coin-cell prototype with charge rates of three minutes and over 10,000 cycles in a lifetime, Harvard University spin-off Adden Energy recieved $5.15 million in funding to further advance the technology, with the aim of commercialising it in the near future.
Rapid development of clean energy storage technology is critical to combating the “plague” of climate change, according to the startup.
In order to facilitate this adoption, Adden Energy CEO William Fitzhugh hopes to appeal to the 37 per cent of Americans who do not have garages at home, and therefore no access to at-home overnight charging for electric vehicles.
“Complete electrification of the vehicle fleet is one of the most meaningful steps we can take to fight climate change,” said Fitzhugh.
“However, broad adoption of electric vehicles requires batteries that can meet a diverse set of consumer needs... EVs need to recharge at comparable times to internal combustion vehicles, essentially in the time you’d currently spend at the gas pump.”
Estimates suggest that electrification of the world’s vehicle fleet could alone cut global greenhouse gas emissions by 16 per cent, with this “new battery paradigm” seen as essential to achieving this goal.
“Electric vehicles cannot remain a luxury fashion, literally the ‘one percent’ of vehicles on the road, if we are to make progress toward a clean energy future, and the US won’t have a used-car market if EV batteries last only 3 to 5 years,” said Xin Li, an associate professor of materials science at Harvard and a scientific advisor to Adden Energy.
"The technology needs to be accessible to everyone... We don’t see any fundamental limit to scaling up our battery technology. That could be a game changer."

They probably do it to prevents spam/abuse. It is supposed to be a better WhatsApp after all, not a completely federated software. So it gotta be somewhat user friendly.

Agreed, having discussion is what makes reddit and lemmy unique. Libreddit, while the interface is clean, is more like a reddit-powered rss feed.

In addition to this, all sorts of group chats, message boards, forums, etc, have now been locked behind this wall. Projects and communities that used to have an IRC or a forum are now almost exclusively located on Discord. It’s like Facebook in this way.
I agree. Even though Discord's privacy policy is nowhere near as bad as Facebook. But the fact that everything has moved to Discord thus creating a monopoly for business communication is very bad. I hope there are some viable and ethical competitions.

Absolutely, have a code based invitation would be more privacy focused.

Doing registration form with manual approval is a good first step. My 2 cents is you could also implementing an invite based registration where users are allowed to invite their trusted friends.
Similar to how reputable private trackers works. There is form registration, interview, or invite from existing members. If existing member invites too many leechers, the current member will get a warning and ban eventually. This system is mostly working for private trackers so far.

It starts as an alternative to Mumble for gamers to communicate. I can see it is easier to setup compare to Mumble and free. It is very optimized despite using Electron. Feature wise, it is also very complete and customizable.
It eventually grew to what it is today.

This is definitely good news! But when I tried some games on Linux, they simply doesn't run as smoothly compared to Windows on same hardware. Some even required fiddling :(

Maybe we would need marketing campaign and make it appeal to the general audience to have fast expansion. But I am not sure we are ready at the moment.
It's really hard to get people actually sign up and stay on it because it's always a bit of a vicious cycle. People are hesitant to switch because there isn't much content, then they keep using old platform. Take example with Signal. Feature wise, it is on par with WhatsApp. But when I try to convince people to use it, they always go back to WhatsApp because they already have all their contacts and conversation.
