at the time I was a PC gamer and for some weird reason, none of my friends owned a GameCube which, in hindsight makes me a bit sad. Great console, great games.
KDE Connect is an app to connect your phone and computer. It works on most OS (windows, Linux, etc.), and it works extremely well (better than the solution developed by Microsoft).
Yep, the shared clipboard and file sharing options are things I can’t live without now. No more sending stuff to yourself using messenger apps or stupid workarounds like that.
In my experience, windows store server apps (like Plex) are sometimes broken if your os updates are due. It causes some interesting headaches. When in doubt exe it from the trusted site
Yes. I’ve been using almost daily and it’s great! My only issue is that it sometimes (like once every one or two months), it has some trouble connecting back to my phone.
I’m listening (if that counts?) to Lord of the rings (i’m on Return of the King - book 5). Been really enjoying it so far, there are many more significant differences to the movies than I was expecting.
At the moment it’s easier to get time in for audio books (during late night toddler wakes and car journeys etc)
Hmm. In the old days, pretty much every ISP ran a Usenet server. The cost was covered as part of your internet connection bill, it was just part of the service.
I could see a potential future where running a Lemmy instance became table-stakes for ISPs, like Usenet used to be.
Oh absolutely! That’s the killer app for the Gameboy Player IMHO. Properly felt like a return to the SNES days of 2D platforming, but with improved tech and quality of life. Love it.
yeah, WL4 felt like it was designed more for the GBP than the actual GBA! haahaha, and i remember how excited i was when i discovered i could play it on the TV and just put it back in my GBA when I had to go somewhere. Now that’s what the switch is all about, but the jankiness of the GBP just made it more special to me
brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.
It cannot be overstated just how massive of an improvement GBI is. If you’re using the stock Nintendo Gameboy Player disc/software, you’re playing with an enormous handicap.
I mainly want to be able to adjust the split of the picture-by-picture mode. By the default, the monitor splits the display 50-50 between the two inputs. It can, or at least should according to the official documentation that I currently have open in another tab, change that ratio but apparently that can only be done through the control software.
edit: nvm, turns out it can only adjust that ratio when connected to the same computer. And only on windows and mac. Meh.
It sounds like this software was made to address a problem that exists in Windows, poor window management options. Although with Win11 it’s been significantly improved.
Have a look into tiling window managers, or tiling add-ons for major desktop environments. You can split windows in all different arrangements without any extra software or splitting inputs.
Personally I’m using KDE and it’s built in tiling options work very well.
But what I’m trying to do is beyond any window manager. I was trying to play with the “tiling” of different display inputs from different sources. One input from my desktop and one from my work laptop. The monitor can display those two inputs side by side just fine, but I wanted it to split the screen 80-20 between the inputs instead of the default 50-50, which can only be done by the monitor firmware. Some monitors have that feature, but apparently mine can only do that when both inputs are coming from the same source, which is… meh. Why mess around with 2 inputs coming from the same computer when any major OS in 2023 has decent tiling capabilities already?
Oh I see your use case now. Yeah agreed, bit of a useless feature. My monitor supports PiP but not in way that makes it feasible to get work done on both, it’s only really good for a full screen video.
Someone else mentioned RDP/VNC which could work well, if your work computer allows it.
considering the offers facebook were making, it wouldn’t be very surprising if some instances caved. It’s a good thing that anyone can make their own instance for that reason.
