You sure? Walmart already often has Electric America charging stations installed and those regularly see a lot of use. Lines aren't uncommon. Not to mention, having chargers at your store means you have customers charging their car which can take at least 20 minutes, usually more. Customers that may decide to do something while killing time....like shop at the store you're already in the parking lot of. I primarily charge at home, but on road trips I primarily use Electrify America due to being on a free charging plan, and since these are very frequently at Walmarts, I visit Walmart quite often as a result on these trips, where I would almost never step foot in one otherwise. Speaking of such, rural areas are a great spot for these. I, like many, charge at home. It's way cheaper than using a fast charger (unless you're on a free plan, of course). Where we need fast chargers? Places where we don't live. And believe it or not, people often road trip to or through rural areas.

Comment Re: Stop forcing channel bundling? (Score 1) 104

Stop forcing us to pay a local broadcast fee and sports fee. Last time I looked at getting cable TV, those fees turned me off. I don't watch sports and have an antenna, I'm not about paying a bunch of money for those fees. Give me a no-sports and no-local channel option and I may reconsider. But we know that won't happen. I am grandfathered into Philo for $10/month, which sounds like a much better deal.

That's not true at all. They do completely install to your system but they copy from the disc. The only thing that downloads are patches, dlc, or the upgraded version (PS5 ver from PS4 disc). If you buy a PS5 disc ver (fat at least), never connect it to the internet, put in Final Fantasy XVI, it will install and play just fine.

There's a ton of services for that, though. Vudu, iTunes, Google Play, Microsoft has video, Amazon Video. I'm sure there's more I'm missing. Also if you use Movies Anywhere movies will link. I'm assuming US since you're commenting on US Netflix price increase but other markets should have some of these and maybe their own.

Ok, well they're not taking away your game library. You can still redownload your games after that date. Buy what you want before that date, they haven't released new 360 games in a very long time and won't before then, so it's really on you if there's something still out there you want to buy for your 360 but haven't gotten around to.

I flew American round trip recently and they had clips for your device and both USB and regular plug outlets. There was in flight entertainment over wifi, but I put my Switch up there and disconnected my joycons to hold separately and connected my Bluetooth headphones to it. Was much more enjoyable than just handheld. If this was standard I'd probably bring a pro controller. I also used it to put my phone in and watch my Hulu downloads for a while. I know it's probably just the airlines being cheap but I think I prefer this to built in screens. I rarely watch anything provided by the airline so always have my devices handy. Being able to put my own video games up there is a game changer, as well as watch what I want without having to look down at my phone/tablet to watch.

Comment Re: Now where to find titles not on streaming? (Score 1) 77

Most (albeit not all), you can buy or rent on your favorite movies for purchase streaming service, like Vudu, Apple, Microsoft, Google Play/Youtube, etc. For the remaining few, they're generally hard to find on disc anyway. Redbox is also an option for now, though it's selection isnt as big, it generally has new stuff and favorites. I get codes pretty often from my cell service (TMobile) so I use it to stay up to date with new stuff.

Comment Re: iPhone 14 for International travellers (Score 1) 153

As an international traveler, I just picked up TMobile Magenta and can just turn on my phone and go to town in just about any country with data and sms. Phone calls still cost, but I just use google voice, skype, or Facebook calling to dodge that. Skip the whole process altogether.
