WOF also does speed rounds where individual letters are revealed at random.

You can leave the handle unlocked, and just use the deadbolt this way.

This is how I have locked my house for the last like 100 years without a smart deadbolt.

Where does the Raspberry Pi fit inside of that headset?

You and the “87%” of people who responded to his Tweet or whatever.

Watch the oceans and waterways heal a little before finding a new way to ruin them.

“Ad-free” has always been bullshit because every steamer runs ads for their own content at the start/end of everything and has giant “WATCH NEXT” “COMING SOON” “TRENDING NOW” banners on every screen.

Reminds me of that Green Charlotte song, Lifestyles of the American Idiot.

I haven’t fucked around with tearing and ultra-low latency, but I have bounced around a few wayland gaming builds and I’ve gotta say Gnome has been the most consistently stable DE of the bunch.

Others may be prettier, more easily customized, or have single-digit frame rate gains in the right settings, but they all suffered from more crashes, stuttering, or other bugs across the board.

3% higher frame rate is meaningless if the game freezes for 0.25s when it counts.

I can’t promise it’ll solve your problems, but I can recommend PikaOS+Gnome if youre looking for a rock solid gaming distro. Otherwise youre looking at starting down the Arch path and spending months to tweak it to perfection only to have an update roll back those tweaks.

2 Democrats defect

all Democrats are worthless

No. 2 Democrats are worthless. Vote for better ones, outnumber them. Don’t throw this “both sides are the same” “don’t bother” rhetoric around. It doesn’t solve jack shit.

China: “Hold my blimp.”

People DM on Lemmy?

1-Game-1-ROM, these are usually the cleanest ROM packs where you dont get the flood of alternative translations, revisions, modded ROMs, etc.

1G1R packs are easy to come by, maybe take a peek over at archive.org

I wouldn’t worry about what comes preloaded on the device, and instead focus on things like hardware/software quality, UI/UX, form factor, and compatibility with the games you’re interested in.

I’ve got an Analogue Pocket because I wanted to play a mix of physical and digital content and it’s great, but it really only plays up to GBA or so. No PS or more modern games, so there’s that potential downside.

All of this is great, but there’s literally nothing stopping the next article from saying “user who left their phone unlocked with signal also unlocked ‘got hacked’”

At that point, I’m better off just buying it through the third party launcher.

Which is exactly why companies like Ubisoft are so dead set on forcing 3rd party launchers down everybody’s throats. They want to drag you out of the Steam ecosystem so they can pocket a bigger piece of the pie and infect your computer with god knows what.

Ironic considering Palworld spent quite a while in EA and still came out of it as a buggy poorly optimized mess.

Don’t get me wrong, the gameplay is fun, but it is not smooth. One week in they killed all custom resolutions because a little bit of Japanese text would crash the game FFS.

Pretend persecution is the right wing’s kink. Always has been, always will be.

In a perfect world?

I’d love access to diagnostic data. Is the filter starting to clog? Is any part not working as intended? I’m a big fan of preventative maintenance, but also really bad at sticking to an arbitrary recurring schedule (e.g., clean the filter every 6 months). This could also be accomplished with Bluetooth and an offline-only app on the phone.

In the real world? Nobody provides this, and the privacy risks aren’t worth it.

I do have my dishwasher on a ZigBee power meter to 1) track energy use and 2) give me a good-enough estimate of time remaining by starting a 2h timer after it starts.

This is why I don’t let my TV watch porn.

Let’s be real we still have monuments to the biggest assholes in history who led a coup because they wanted to own other humans as property. If they get a statue, he’ll get a few
