Comment Re:Why do I want to upgrade? (Score 1) 437

I'd like to dislike in on my Nexus 7 (2013). But the update still hasn't arrived to the LTE version here, at least for me, and to anyone that I know that has one.

(Really, I don't care that much that it hasn't been updated, KitKat works fine - I just find it odd, Nexus devices were supposed to be the ones running the latest and greatest, right?)

Nokia has been doing these entry-level phones (before the MS acquisition) for years, and profitably. Very thin margins, naturally, but volume can make up for it. I should hope MS has not managed to lose all that expertise in such a short time. In these kinds of devices, you don't really expect much (if anything) back from app sales.

Pretty much any online game requires PS+ - there are some exceptions, most (all?) subscription-based games don't need it, and some F2P games work without it. Personally, I hardly ever do online multiplayer, but still find PS+ to be worth it for the free (ok, this being /. so surely someone will nitpick about it - not free as you are paying a subscription but you get the point) games and cloud saves. YMMV.

Yes, this. Single-player games worked just fine (even PS+ games as I've set my console to be primary). The only exception was DA:I - for some reason it wants to contact "Dragon Age servers" on launch, even when not playing multiplayer; but that was rectified by just disabling networking on the PS4. I suppose this would have worked in PvZ as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think even the app itself is region restricted (at least it says my S3, Xperia Z2 and 2013 Nexus 7 are all incompatible with it). And I'd reckon even if I'd sideload the app, the content would be locked away. A VPN might help there - but really, torrenting is just so much easier. Which is kind of my point.

Sure. I'll do it the minute I'm able to subscribe to the content, digitally, and that the content is reasonably priced. Until then, arrrrr.

(For the record between Neflix, HBO Nordic and Spotify I pirate very little. But for example Daily Show/Colbert - I used to be able to watch them from the web site. I even turned off my adblocker there as thanks. But now they block my country, so I torrent them. Viacom, get a clue)
