I thought the unlock request feature was removed a few years ago? Guess not…

Seems like a very good display for the price.

Although HyperOS and adware infested apps are a massive let down. And since this is Xiaomi, you can’t install custom ROMs from what I remember.

Couple of days, or even a week or two is fine, it’s when they are months behind it can become a problem.

I like F-Droid, but does anyone else find that the versions in their repos often lag behind the current release (sometimes significantly so)?

I use DietPi with Kodi for an HTPC, it works well. I like the tools provided by DietPi, they make headless administration very easy. You don’t need to remember details, just load up the right DietPi tool.

I haven’t tried linreelc.

DietPi is a lightweight and optimized operating system based on Linux, tailored for single-board computers and small-scale devices. Its primary goal is to provide a minimal yet efficient environment for running various applications and services with minimal resource consumption.

The console business model of subsidized hardware and platform specific-exclusives is coming to an end.

Semiconductors costs have gone up and they will only continue to get even more expensive. At the same time, graphics are reaching a “good enough” phase, where marginal increases in fidelity require exponentially more processing power.

It also doesn’t make financial sense to not eventually release games on PC (if not have a same day multi-platform release).

I think by this point, the only option is breakup and mandatory federation with independent frontends, service providers all competing against each other. They have a monopoly.

Google would argue they don’t really have a monopoly since they compete against streaming, but that’s a malicious, pre-information age interpretation of monopoly power.

Now, now, young one. You simply lack the taste and sophistication to appreciate the depth inherent to badger badger badger.

The sharp, minimalist vector graphics of badger badger badger gave it character and pedigree. Not like the tiktok junk of today.

And you had know how to install and patch browser plugins and computers required knowledge. You had to know about the URL and share it on MSN messenger. Not like the brain dead smartphone apps used by modern teens.

I was just going to something similar.

It’s your local joint that’s not the best, but can offer a fun experience. You would only invite certain specific friends who you know would appreciate the experience.

If we can solve the problem of generating phosphorus

Any more info on this? Curious about phosphorus, haven’t heard about it before in context of long-term space travel.

I wouldn’t go that far, oligarchs (in the US or otherwise) are generally very intelligent, sophisticated (in the functional sense) and even hard working.

This is not meant to be some sort of justification, they are clearly corrupt, deeply dishonest and extremely malicious. That doesn’t mean they should be underestimated or one should discount their capabilities.

Apologies for calling you a sir, miss!

Well played, sir!

Good to hear at least some upside for Mastadon from the recent rise in Bluesky users.

Hopefully this trend will continue and and Mastodon can retain at least a solid percentage of those why try it.

Sounds like they feel they have enough leverage over US companies where they can keep the leading edge node “exclusive” to in-country manufacturing.

And they do have very strong leverage.

1 month is nothing and the data from Statcounter is likely to be more directional (since from my understanding it’s not based on shipments or POS transaction aggregation). If they saw multiple quarters of significant gains in market share, that would be a different story.

Samsung was one of the few Android OEMs that didn’t adopt A/B updates (well, until now).

I think they will apply learnings from Apple, they’ve been in the VR game for a lot longer after all.

yyyy.mm.dd does honestly makes by far the most sense. That being said, north america switching to day first would already be a massive achievement.
