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 🐱🤖
It’s still possible but that requires a few steps to works.
If you’re using the official YouTube app, you can press the three vertical dots button on the website, you should have an option called “Open app”.
If you’re using ReVanced/Vanced, and because Google has made poor design choices about handling links, you can go into the app settings to tell it to handle every YouTube URL. This should works when clicking a YouTube link from Sync. However, for links that you changed manually from Piped to YouTube, Chrome doesn’t provide a way to open in app. Firefox can do that, but if it’s not your default browser, this option requires you to change browser every time you want to see a video inside the app.
The best option is to use “Open Link With…” which provide an easy way to open apps from your browser. It’s as simple as sharing the website to “Open Link With…” and select your app eg. YouTube/ReVanced/Vanced/etc. You can also set it as your browser which should do that automatically but I haven’t tested it so YMMV.
I hope this was useful!
Seems to be from the “No Poop July” trend a few months ago.
It use the same path logic as YouTube. You only need to replace “piped.video” with “youtube.com”.
Didn’t you know that telling a joke more times makes it funnier? smh my head…
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?
I’m using a mix of Sync and Eternity. I was using Infinity for Reddit before the migration.
Because Sync came first, it’s still my default way to navigate Lemmy but Eternity is slowly growing on me. I prefer to alternate between a few apps to stay up to date on the alternatives, and to ensure I don’t become dependant on a single app/interface.
I’ve also tested a few times Photon, great web UI which can be installed as a PWA.
Lately, I’ve been really into self hosting. My first thought was server fan, not air conditioning haha🫠
Choice is great for the consumers, it means different options for different folks. You want Linux, you got options. You prefer Windows, same scenario. This can be applied for every other aspect; screen, size, controls, offline play, etc.
Lots of options doesn’t mean you have to buy each. Personally, I’m happy to see such a thriving market of devices.
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.
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. 🥲
