“Pay no attention to the next console behind the curtain! Buy our stuff!”
I love that I just download the app from the dedicated place, no pointless web surfing for the latest versions.
IMO this is a huge thing, Linux actually does a lot better than Windows. I know the Windows Store exists, but it is lacking in lots of ways.
It’s not easy to find info like the sound of the switch/button with gaming mice.
Maybe the Razer Pro Click, Razer’e answer to the MX Master mice, could work for you.
I tried ProtonVPN and got a refund, because their Linux implementation is lacking
Not participating in a disinformation war reminds me of the hesitation to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with the supplied weapons. What incentive does thr other side have to stop?
I recently upgraded my XBox 360 Wireless controller and got the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. Hall Effect Sensors trigger guard. Picked it up for und er 50 bucks on Aliexpress. They are available on Amazon US, but not in Europe.
Really happy with it so far.
A little PSA: buying a game just before a sale, is a legitimate reason for a refund according to their Refund FAQ
I have never played a From Software game. Sekiro is really tempting to get, because I never could see myself dodging/rolling around the big enemies and bosses. Mostly human-sized enemies and parrying sounds much more appealing to me. But the difficulty has scared me off thus far and it never went below 50% off
I bought Horizon Zero Dawn when it was 50% off. For me it was really worth it. Got every achievement for it. I plan to do the same when Horizon Forbidden West is 50% off.
It’s definitely a great game, when it reaches the right price point for you
Repeat after me “Fines need to be tied to global revenue”. It has to hurt, if you want companies to stop.
I think it’s hilarious that western leaders are worried about provoking Russia by providing Ukraine with weaponry that can be used in Russian territory.
Russia is at war with us. It’s not tanks, fighter jets and battleships. It’s cyber warfare, disinfomation campaigns, bribing of right wing politicians and poisonings. Just because nobody wants to call it a war, doesn’t make it go away.
No, it’s an android app.
I don’t like to install an app for every service or product, but newpipe adds so much value, that it’s a no-brainer for me.
I don’t see the value in using an extension just to automatically watch YouTube in HD. Maybe 10 years ago, but now we got Newpipe.
Also Google Search has gone downhill for quite some time now. Why should I install an extension that reverts the enshittification Google has deliberately created?
DDG, Qwant, searXNG maybe even Brave or Kagi are better options. If you like Google Search so much, at least use Startpage.
More and more aspects of life require an app or at least a smartphone (QR codes). That already excludes older people from some aspects of daily life. Let’s do the same for kids!
Politicians should do their jobs and regulate tech and social media not ban useful devices.
Sports are divided by gender, because it’s easy. It has been done that way for a long time.
But how is a long jump competition between a 1,50m and a 1,90m woman fair?
It’s not.
People who want fairness should see past easy binary characteristics. We are tracking hormone levels, muscle mass, body fat and countless other statistics in professional sports. Why can’t we divide athletes in 3, 4, or more different groups?
“It’s unfair to have trans athletes compete with women!”
It’s unfair when I play basketball against LeBron, as well.
Bigoted people are making it about competition while holding onto the archaic division between men and women.
They could create other criteria and have 3, 4 … Separate groups. Making sports much fairer. But this is about oppression, not fairness.
Why companies aren’t fined for every customers data they didn’t secure properly is beyond me. This should cost them a specific sum per customer or part of their annual global revenue. Make it hurt.
Otherwise they have no reason to spend money to properly secure people’s data.
I hop between invidious, piped and Freetube regularly. Had some instances when both piped and invidious don’t work at all.
Rumors are it will have a LCD screen. That way Nintendo will be able to make a version with an OLED screen a few years later and sell it to you again. They’re so “innovative”.
I actually asked in the TrueNAS forum about this idea. According to some knowledgeable users this might work. For anyone interested, details here. The next major release (planned for end of October), should make this easier.
