I’m currently playing though The Messenger, it makes me feel dumb sometimes because some of the backgrounds look like foregrounds

wim , to technology in Best Linux laptop for 2023

I’ve been running a Zephyrus G14 for the past 8 months and it’s been great. I wrote up the install instructions but have no place to publish them.

It’s not spectacular, but it has an 6800U (or H, I don’t even know), good integrated graphics, a dedicated Radeon 6800S, and can be configured with 64GB RAM and a 1600p display.

The 15" variant probably has a 4K display if that’s what you want. I would personally wait for the Framework 16 at this point though.

ede OP ,

Thanks for the recommendation. The Framework due seem to be worth the wait. I’m honestly considering it.

Me and my SO have unironically started watching and enjoying the Quantum Leap reboot. But we’re only two episodes in so it could go either way. No spoilers!

Music wise I’ve been enjoying the “1980s Bubblegum” retrospective LP by Aussie jangle pop pioneers The Particles. Went through to Glasgow at the weekend and picked up a copy from Monorail Records who have an exclusive coloured vinyl.

I didn’t even know there WAS a reboot! How long ago was that? Might have to add this to our list.

Just last year maybe? It’s on Paramount+. There is a almost full length old style season of 18 episodes. No-one has said “oh boy” yet, which is disappointing.

dQw4w9WgXcQ , to nostupidquestions in How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience?

I originally created a user on vlemmy.net. Then at some point that instance disappeared, causing me to lose the user, subscriptions and settings. So I created a user on lemmy.world. For whatever reason, it became very buggy - I don’t know if it’s the app (I’m using Jerboa) or the instance, but I got constantly logged out and loading posts didn’t work properly. Third time’s a charm (so far) as I created this user on lemm.ee.

The confidence of stability of different instances seems to be a huge detractor for me. I’m hoping to see lemm.ee run with decent stability going forward.

sparky678348 ,

I’ve been on Lemm.ee since the start with no problems. Can you sandwich together those accounts across different instances somehow?

gwildors_gill_slits , to books in Are the James Bond books worth reading?

They’re a lot of fun. Just don’t go in expecting balls to the wall action and goofy one-liners like the movies; as someone else said they’re more spy/detective stories than action adventures. That said, there’s still plenty of action and they do move along at a pretty good clip.

One thing that stood out to me when I went through a period of reading a whole bunch of them is how much they focus on Bond’s likes, dislikes and interests. It’s not just shaken or stirred vodka martinis and Walther PPKs, the books often go into a fair amount of detail about what Bond takes for breakfast, what kind of products or activities he likes and so on.

Binding of Isaac Repentance is my main game at the moment. I’m also trying to squeeze some Need for Speed Underground 2 on the PS2. Gaming is no longer my primary hobby so it’s no more than an hour or two per day. Still, looking forward to the other NFS titles on the PS2. I might try to finish the first Underground and go for 100% on both before moving on.

Zerimski , to ukcasual in Virgin Media blocking Lemmy?

I’m on VM and not had a problem. Lemmy.world has had some issues over the last few days though, I’ve had to log out and log back in again a few times.

itchy_lizard , to linux in Are packages from flathub always safe?

On the contrary, downloading files from flathub are never safe because it does not verify signatures, unlike secure package manager like apt

Aegis all the way, but I’m curious about Bitwarden’s offering. May check it out one of these days.

Empyreus , to showerthoughts in If someone built an anti spam AI bot to answer spam calls the phone lines would just be call centre bots talking to AI bots

Google has a call screening functionality on phones already

All stock pixels have this and I also heard that samsungs also have it too. Also, I think Apple will have it in the next update.

The stock Pixel phone app has this. If you don’t use the stock phone app, you can’t use this feature.

Samsung does not have this

greatley ,

It does, Bixby can answer a call, ask what this is about and transcribe it for the owner so he can the decide if he wants to anwser

dtxer ,

I use it and it’s called Bixby. Thought most spam callers don’t make it after the first phrases.

luthis , to asklemmy in What's the worst company ever. Period.

Bayer. They knowingly sold HIV infected blood to Latin America after the blood was rejected in Europe. This still blows my mind. Some corporate waste of oxygen actually decided to do this. It wasn’t an accident. That guy needs to get stabbed with thousands ten fucking thousand of AIDS needles.
