Topiciphone x with face id: now police will have no problem unlocking your phone

i have heard that using a passcode is safer because police can legally get your fingerprints then may be able to use that for unlocking your phone. for a passcode they can't because legally they can't force information out of you. or something close to that

i can turn off depth of field and motion blur on my pc, can xbox one x do the same?

Yeah for like 95% of things. What a desperate attempt at saving face though.

show me some games on the x1x that will let me disable depth of field and motion blur then

I literally couldn't think of a more pointless waste of time, but I'll give one example because it's the last game I played. Conan:exiles allows you to adjust both.

You really sure you want this to be the hill you die on?

doing a quick google search yields nothing on that issue. do you happen to have a link backing that claim up?

i've never really understood affirmative action either. why does someone with a lower GPA than me get better consideration to college just because he was born a different color? how come whites are the standard but asians get penalized for just being asian? there's disadvantaged and low-income asians in urban areas, so how isn't that just flat-out racist?

there's tons of options for females with small chests. if they're insecure enough, they can get some fakes. if not, there's tons of things like pushups and other clothing that makes it seem like they have a chest. plus the feminism wave where any body type is supposed to be attractive.

men? gotta measure up to pornstar or everybody makes fun of you. there's no surgery or genetic modification to get a larger wang, only things that have a huge chance to make your dick permanently useless

How about gin... or any other number of words that start with a soft G-vowel-consonant.

Oh, you mean all the ones that don't start as GIF?

And as for the other words, English is weird. But if you have an acronym, you base the pronunciation on something existing. Again, "gift" is the only thing we can use.


where was that said we have to base on something existing?

so if gif is a hard g, why is scuba pronounced with an "ooh" sound?

It's used like that in other words. GIF is found only in "gift". Since that is a hard G...

The f doesn't affect the pronunciation of the g at all though, only the vowel following it, and gift has absolutely nothing to do with gif etymologically.

Literally zero argument you've presented.

We have no other word to compare it to except for gift. And since that's the only comparison, we base it's pronunciation on that.


How about gin... or any other number of words that start with a soft G-vowel-consonant.


GIBBETS!

if you pronounce gif with a hard g

then how do you pronounce scuba?

or laser?

then compare to gif and wonder why you're wrong

What kind of mental gymnastics is this lol

It's a response to the people who say "it's hard G because it stands for graphics!" despite the U in scuba standing for "underwater" and the S in laser standing for "stimulated". By their own asinine made-up rules, they would have to be pronounced "skubba" and "lacer".


not really that asinine though. people saying that the g in gif is a hard g because it stands for graphics

then by their own rules they're pronouncing scuba and laser incorrectly. i'm not the one making asinine rules here. the u and a in scuba, and the e in laser aren't preserving their pronunciation

either acronyms are pronounced like the letters they stand for, or every acronym is different and has their own rules
