Unfortunately you need something with long firmware and software support. Qualcomm is your enemy, they stop updating the firmware of their chips after about two years and that’s why android phones often stop getting updates less than 2 years after you buy them.

That’s mostly politics as well.

The boost app has a karma counter, maybe people want to see the funny number go up.

90hz screen with 180hz polling is what my phone uses as well, it’s nice that the deck has now caught up to that.

Also remember to leave your original deck on when downloading games on the new one so it can transfer them locally, which should be faster. There’s a setting for that, but I think it’s on by default.

Try Smarttube, it’s a joy to use.

I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.

It was already discovered that that was a big and game devs need to fix it manually for now.

If you’re bad at a multiplayer game, you’ll die a lot. That’s just part of it. Any good game will give new players a way to fight good players (TF2 has the anti titan weapons for example).

Poorly designed games will punish bad players for being bad (like unavoidable COD killstreaks for example).

SBMM is just a band-aid for a problem that lies much deeper.

The solution is simple: Create lobbies by ping and then split the teams by skill. I think titanfall 2 does that, I’ve been playing for a long time and if I meet another veteran, they are usually on the other team.

Excel is a problem since it changes constantly and relies so much on the mouse. I’m a developer and struggle every time I’m forced to use it.

Search engines have also gotten terrible over the last few years so it’s a pretty bad time to learn how to use a computer. Old videos from the 90s and 2000s are great to learn the basics, but unfortunately you can’t really follow along.

Paid courses for the basics of MS office exist, maybe you’ll be able to find one that starts from zero and teaches the basics of using a computer at all.

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.

Definitely make sure your GPU supports 8k at reasonable refresh rates before buying anything. During the early days of 4k, monitor makers would get a lot of unhappy customers who learned the hard way that their macbook only does 4k at 30hz.

Yeah we need to stop giving corporations rights that only humans deserve.

Thanks, I’ve been looking for a comparison like that but search engines have just gotten ridiculously bad. /e/ slacking on the webview updates is interesting and steers me away from it.

I’m leaning towards the fairphone right now because it’s cheaper at 256GB and not smaller than my current phone. DivestOS looks like it does most of what grapheneOS would do for me.

Yes and it isn’t rated IPX7 for that reason, just IP55. I wouldn’t hold it under the faucet but it should be perfectly fine for daily use.

Fun fact: It’s still entirely possible to make a phone water resistant even if it has a removable back. Samsung did it in 2014 with the S5. Glass backs are just there to make it easier to break a phone, not for any technical reason.

I already have Osmand and while it’s a great offline map, it can’t pick the fastest route for me every single day.

The 502 came up before even getting to checkout for me.

Didn’t get the LE because the server kept giving me errors unfortunately. I didn’t plan on upgrading so soon but the OLED seems to fix every issue I have with my deck. Better trackpad edges, slimmer bezels, a DPAD that allows overlap and some more cooling so it’ll probably be quieter.

90hz was what convinced me. I can’t believe valve put that into the fine print instead of the top of the site.

Do you think the cars on amazon will be cheaper than sticker price and save you the negotiation?

ich_iel is the worst place to learn german, the running gag is to translate stuff from english literally while actively ignoring the context.
