Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !reisen)
I disabled my DNS block-list for 5 minutes to test something, and my Samsung TV used its newfound freedom to immediately go and automatically install the TikTok app from its app store. It no longer gets the privilege of an internet connection.
My Samsung TV has never pulled this shit. It used to have free Internet access, now it’s behind a DNS blocker because it wants to do phone home a LOT, but even when I unblocked it to download an app I wanted, it didn’t do shit that it shouldn’t have.
It’s still likely the last Samsung TV I’ll ever own - I don’t like the app availability on Tizen much - but I just don’t see all this adware that everyone keeps talking about. Mine’s a 2019 model though, maybe it’s only newer ones?
@ComeHereOrIHookYou I have the first generation of 8bitdo controller of the old NES styled pad. Unfortunately a button does not work correctly anymore. What I use nowadays are 3 gamepads, one of them the SNES "inspired" Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad. I want to up the game soon with additional gamepads too. Especially the Genesis/Mega Drive styled one. Let's not forget the N64 pad with its unique button placement. For arcade games I play with an arcade stick. A trackball will follow too, for arcade games that are usually played with one. And maybe an Atari 2600 style old stick too. And I need Wii controllers too... oh well, its a chaos then.
But having so many controllers makes it complicated. Especially whenever I unplug and plugin a controller, it is then registered in different order. That's a nightmare! At least using RetroArch, this is a bit problematic.
I just took a look with the Buffalo Classic USB and certainly it is an interesting SNES inspired controller, to think it has a built in turbo button too.
Agreed having multiple controllers is a pain, especially I have to plug them in and out from time to time.
Mapping controllers on Retroarch is indeed a pain as well, especially trying to map N64 controls.
Last week I bought a N64 inspired controller from SAFFUN, tried mapping it on Retroarch. After a good 10 minutes, I gave up and went with Mupen64plus with Rosalie’s Mupen GUI
I use an SNES style controller and a USB GameCube controller for their respective games. I have used a couple N64 replica controllers, but they usually had terrible sticks and I just use the GC controller for them now.
Cerumen is a good thing if it’s not causing complications. Lubricates the skin to stop drying, antimicrobial/anti fungal for certain things, helps maintain acidity.
Ear canal is like a conveyor belt and keeps carrying it out, a lot of the earwax is actually dead skin. For most people, being conservative and mostly cleaning the outer ear entrance is just fine.
It’s a problem if it’s blocking the ear, trapping water in the ear after showers, on the eardrum, affecting hearing aids etc.
Qtips suck for ears and often make things worse. Many times a day I see a wall of earwax blocking the ear with a qtip indent in it. I also see bruises from qtips in the canal all the time. Very rarely people that have shoved the qtip through the eardrums (very bad).
Just for reference, Voyager is the new name for the app that used to be called wefwef. As such, wefwef.app and vger.app are both pointing to the same thing.
It looks like that’s a Voyager instance. Voyager is open source, so Lemmy instances are free to host a Voyager instance as an alternate frontend. The main Voyager instance can support any Lemmy instance, but here it’s only for lemmy.world.
I really wanted to get that one but the price tag was a bit prohibitive. In .au I was looking at ~$150 for each attachment, and I’d need one for each roller - laminator, spaghetti, fettuccini.
I ended up getting a manual one which does the trick - I’m never making pasta for more than 4 people.
