It seems really dumb to play on such a device, but I’ve been playing a few rounds of Bejeweled 3 when looking for something in short bursts. There’s a controller profile that works surprisingly well with the dpad + face buttons.
For laid back / cozy games, I recommend A Short Hike, TOEM, the Frog Detective trilogy & Dave the Diver.
A mesh system would be better or even an old router in AP mode. That’s actually what I’m using to get full speed downstairs. It works really well, with no latency even for complexe things such as my Plex server or VirtualDesktop (wireless VR with my PC).
Wired is always better than wireless. You’ll get better WiFi speed with AP than Wi-Fi repeater.
It’s been in my backlog for a while (it just keeps getting bigger & bigger…). I try to switch genre every now and then just so I don’t get bored of the sameness, but given the appreciation this received online and your comment, it’s been pushed to the top of that list haha :)
Almost done with Eternights. It has its janky moments but for a first game by a one person studio, it’s surprisingly good!
I’m also halfway done with Gato Roboto, it’s a great (but short) game where you play as a cat in a mech suit à la Metroid 🐱🤖
Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their “mistake”. They want to be seen as the victims like they didn’t know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something “less worst” is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.
How to be a company in 2023
Rinse & repeat, because we’re all humans and we can’t learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won’t happen again… right?
Good analogy. The battle shouldn’t be about forcing abandonware to be opensource. We should focus on DRM, it makes games almost impossible to play when servers shut down.
OP should have compared it to other medias such as movies. When you buy a box copy, you expect it to work long after the authors/studios/etc. are gone.
The issue is about the lack of legal ways to play older games as time moves on. It will only grow bigger in the next few years with even more games relying on DRM and online servers.
Fair enough, I was only joking haha. I’m using both Sync and Eternity (known as Infinity for Lemmy) and both clients render Markdown. Can’t say for others clients. Seems like not every client see the same thing…
Everyone should use uBlock + Facebook Container. It’s still far from perfect, but every step counts.
Windows Terminal + WSL, everything related to Xbox if you’re using Gamepass or “Play anywhere” titles (Xbox/PC cross-buy).
Most basics apps are from the Microsoft app store too; calculator, calendar, paint, etc.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used Windows, but you’d be surprise how much apps are now updated through that app store.
If your device use Windows in S mode, all your apps must come from the store & you must use Edge.
From what I’ve seen online, it must be done during installation. So short answer, no.
As others have said, you could also backup your data and do a fresh installation (from a boot media, not from Windows itself just to be extra safe).
ThioJoe also has a video talking about this English (Europe/World) thing and also provide a Powershell script to delete Windows bloatware. This option could be interesting if you don’t want to reset your whole installation.
You must switch back to English (US) after installation if you want access to Microsoft Store (and even if you don’t, you probably should because most apps are now there).
I’ve seen a few tools to suppress most telemetry such as ChrisTitusTech’s winutil or O&O ShutUp, maybe you could give that a try. Microsoft is really pushing hard Bing & Edge…
Also, as a Linux user, I must obliged to the rules and say there’s alternatives out there if you want to try something new. :-) !linux@lemmy.ml
Same scenario for me! My laptop only serve to have a device when I’m on-the-go, but at home, I use my desktop. It was one of the reason why I went with an older Thinkpad, it’s well supported and with no dedicated GPU, it’s dead silent most of the time. I’d love a 16:10 screen, but the options are pretty expensive and often not as repairable as my T480.
Seems like someone is new with Markdown notation haha :-)
You probably tried to write “number 1 […]” but the hash (#) converted your whole text to a Heading level 1.
I’d say lack of marketing and higher price tags. Money / Performance ratio is also better with a decent Thinkpad.
Some of these options can’t (or not without high markups) be bought and shipped to Canada.
Because it use common hardware and bought “en masse” by enterprises; they tend to be more supported with FOSS than other options.
I’ve been happy with my used T480 so far.
…and no one is surprised. [KilledByGoogle]
Recently used Porkbun for a .xyz domain for reverse proxy / DNS challenge. Price was about 2-3CAD$ for the first year, renewal at +/-10CAD$/year. My usage is pretty simple, but it’s been great so far.
They owe you nothing, stop sucking corporations balls. You won’t be compensated for your “efforts”.
I paid for Tilla, it’s a great app to manage subscriptions. I get notifications when the next payment is due. Pretty simple UI but that’s what I like about it. You can check how much you spend per week/month/year.
Ordered LE ~20 minutes after launch. Currently stuck on “Packaged items”, and refreshing way too often to see the same message…
I’m hoping this backlog won’t be too long. 🥲
