i played a match and i don’t get it, that game is just boring.

how do people actually play this?

i have colleagues who gush over how they want everyone else to play it.

it’s just so… stale

there’s still two left over in our household. while one is really heavy but manageable, the other one hasn’t been moved in years. probably for the best.

i’ve since made a more professional e-mail, but everything remotely to do with personal stuff uses the adress i made when i was 10.

My FP4 was affected by the “ghost touch” hardware bug, i ended up getting a replacement screen after contacting support. (it never fully went away, it has a few spasms every once in a while)

also the crashing while connected to 5G put me in a few pickles. sometimes when receiving a call while watching youtube the call’s notification bubble will take up to 5 seconds to appear at all.

it seems to also ocasionally forget that it has a SIM card installed, though that sim has been in use for 10+ years, so i can’t say if that’s the Fairphones’s fault.

i feel you, the fairphone 4 works well enough for me though. a lot of software/hardware bugs are yet to be ironed out fully, but fairphones are steadily getting better.

although the 6th gen needs to improve a lot, the 5’s launch was disappointing to say the least.

unrelated, but my dad’s iphone SE (1st gen) used to almost burn the house to the ground when playing hill climb racing.

i’m using it at my desk where i have one USB-DAC for my speakers and one for my headphones connected to my PC.

that means i have to switch my monitor from DP to HDMI every time i want to play a game (using samsung’s nipple tech), as well as either running my speakers through a splitter cable hooked up the wrong way to get PC and switch audio, or have the switch on my speakers while having the PC on headphones.

way too much hassle, plus i can lose my cursor on the right screen where the switch is, as well as having to blindly drag apps from there as they start. plus i completely miss incoming desktop messages.

and yes, i watch youtube while playing games. that’s why i need PC audio.

but then nintendo wouldn’t be able to shove tons of 6-7 year old hardware down our throats. (the 1st gen’s processor is even older)

i literally own a switch, but getting that fucking thing to work with my display/audio setup is a pain. just to get 1080p at 30fps.

no thanks, i’d rather play it at 1440p at a more stable framerate, with a controller of my choice, with the ability to load mods.

if it runs better, at a higher resolution, with the option of using a reliable controller, i will emulate it.

that’s what being close-source does. jellyfin works great, use it every day.

If you don’t have one already, it could be turned into a linux-based input device for your TV.

we had an aluminum teaspoon once, don’t know where it went but it’s on the top 10 of my favourite objects.

weighed almost literally nothing and always catched me off guard. i love it.

my parent’s wedding cutlery in the form of like 10 knives are these, the fancy curved grips piss me off.

if there are only wedding knives left, i’d rather clean a dirty regular knife. the rectangular grips are way better.

my opinion might be biased as someone who deliberately avoids samsung products because of horrible software and bad quality control (on some devices).

yes, that’s a samsung thing.

some of them really don’t, but people in my circle (all of them gen z) are familiar to a degree. many of them use android phones and/or windows, which very much require that if you want to do anything useful.

that’s what total commander told me

yup, i don’t know how they do it for the newer models, but older ecotank models stop printing after 18,000 pages and show a warning about the purge tank being full.

you can clean the purge tank yourself and reset the counter with a key. there are plenty of tutorials on youtube.

afaik, epson doesn’t even intend for the tank to be cleaned. at least not by the customer, otherwise it would be a dismissable message. the keys are probably meant to be used by epson themselves but are being leaked by someone.

i think this one was a good tutorial

epson ecotank ftw!

yes, they have a page counter that bricks the printer, but you can reset it with sketchy software and a 10€ key.

with sonic runners, they had to reverse engineer the whole server infrastructure. i’d say the chances of you patching out server checks without decompiling the entire game are low.

but i’m not any kind of programmer, so i’d love to be proven wrong.

been using antrenamer, filebot looks like it’s gonna make my job much easier.

the next time i’m reorganizing my (3TB btw) library, i’ll give it a try.
