if it can upscale 1080 ti 4k, does that mean I don’t need my 4k collection anymore? It sounds too good to be true.
Because it is. While it does do a decent job upscaling, it’s not some magical thing. Keep the 4k, and be pleasantly surprised when older content looks nice on the larger display.
I can’t speak to the others, but I have a couple 8bitdo controllers and they’re fantastic. If the aliexpress listing is legit, I’d go with that one, no question.
I’ve never heard of the other two brands, but cursory googling doesn’t sound promising for them.
Interesting. Thanks for the extra effort to help out an internet stranger!
I’ll dig some more into these little buggers!
Awesome, thanks!
This little thing looks very interesting. What is the battery life like? Is the handwriting-to-text stuff only viable in specific apps, or can it be used in place of keyboard input?
I would probably use it just like my Kindle, keeping it in airplane mode until I actually need to download something (or in this case, upload notes).
Fair. I did stray from the “rpg” theme on… Most of my responses.
Will look up Spirit of the North though! It sounds right up my alley
For real. Its high time I replay it, too. Been long enough that I just remember general themes.
You sound a lot like me, and probably get annoyed with a lot of grindy mechanics. Especially when you have limited time to play games.
Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes will really scratch that Chronotrigger itch.
Outer Wilds is also incredible (don’t read spoilers, just go in blind). It’s mini space exploration with cartoon-arcadey newtonian physics.
Sword & Sworcery is also great, and a good point-and-click adventure with an amazing soundtrack. I’d almost argue it’s better on a tablet or largeish phone through. It’s very touch input focused, which is OK with a mouse, but I think is better with a finger (as intended)
Others I enjoy :
honestly it’s baffling that I’ve spent 30 years on the internet and can understand so little of it
100% agree.
Honestly, I had to google it, too :D
As far as I know, they mean “Personal Video Recorder” in a fashion similar to “DVR”/“Digital Video Recorder” like the one your cable company provides. It’s a little misleading, imo, because it doesn’t do any recording, but I didn’t come up with the name, so who knows.
Sonarr (and the other 'arrs) is just a management tool. From the servarr wiki:
Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.
At a high level, you tell it where your current tv show episodes are saved, and add new shows as you want. It then automates the process of searching and downloading. But you still need to have an indexer and download client. If you’re not able to find shows searching your current tracker/indexer, Sonarr won’t have any better luck.
Finding a good source of the media you want is the most important part. If you’re not comfortable with installing and managing your own server applications, the *arr stack could be overwhelming at first. The wiki I linked has a lot of good information to get you started.
Twenty years later, I still sing this.
And I still wonder what happened to fhqwhgads.
Worked for me, too. Thanks friendly stranger :)
The new mantle I’ve been working on is finally ready to install! So, we’ll be mounting it this weekend, along with the TV (yes, “tv too high” but we don’t have an option). So excited to finally have this done!
Seconding this. Frigate is great, and I’ve been running it on an ancient Debian box with a coral tpu for a few years. The only dedicated camera I’ve had has been at the front door, but cams I’ve used for testing and “goofing off” have been great at motion detection and object recognition.
Maaan I got so excited by this and grabbed Connect. It was great until I saw it completely blocking comments in threads by users from those instances. :(
I’m considering just making a script to get a list of communities from an instance and submit them to my block list automatically. Heavily rate limited, of course.
I think my big irritation is that it’s super distracting to keep hitting block on the seemingly infinite supply of communities on lemmynsfw ;D
But it’s also annoying that none of the apps (lemmy pwa included) actively clear the feed of your newly blocked user/community.
I enjoy scrolling All to find new and interesting things, and that’s how I built my sub list on the oldsite. It’s just frustratingly difficult to filter signal from noise at the moment.
This is a pretty apt analogy, I think.
We’ve been using copilot at work, and it’s really surprised me with some slick suggestions that “mostly work”. But I don’t think it could have written anything beyond the boilerplate my team has done.
(I also spend way too much time watching Copilot and Intellisense fight, and it pisses me off to no end.)
The android tv app is why I switched to Emby. I mostly liked jellyfin everywhere except the one place I would use it the most.
A few of the fixes for things that strongly turned me off were added as feature requests, but the devs seemed to blow them off as unnecessary or “impossible” (even though the “impossible” is done in every other android tv app, including Emby). Their perceived attitude really turned me off of it.
