Plymouth would be what you’re looking for. You’d have to find an XP theme or create one yourself.

Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine’s unstoppable force.

What case is that? I was thinking of getting the Pixel 8 and was looking for a case like you describe but didn’t find any

I never see toffeeshare mentioned. P2P, encrypted, no size limit. Only problem is you can’t send folders, only files, but that’s easily solved with tarballs or RARs.

I work at a phone repair shop (not Samsung certified), our suppliers sell us new genuine batteries. So maybe ask around at one near you. Or get one from ifixit, I replaced my Oneplus 6’s battery with their aftermarket one and it works great.

@claymore@pawb.social avatar

We get OEM Samsung batteries. Not for Oneplus last time I checked. The more popular the brand the higher the likelihood for original parts.

Not unintuitive, but thinking about it from a beginner standpoint, calamares-based systems are way easier to ‘get’. These distros don’t ask for domain names, proxies, usage surveys etc. This stuff isn’t that complicated, but they add an extra level of things you need to worry about if you’ve never used Linux before, which is the kind of person who this flow chart is made for.

I’ve used ncmpcpp and more recently Cantata to replace foobar, not as much customization but it gets a lot of stuff right for me.

AMD removes Taiwan branding from CPUs, says change wasn't made to appease China | The 'Made in Malaysia' markings will remain, though. (www.tomshardware.com)

F-Droid probably won’t accept any builds with adware/tracking in them, so probably we’ll just stay on an old version until a fork or alternative comes along. There’s also a toggle on my preferred F-Droid manager app (droid-ify) to ignore new versions

Wouldn’t say it’s impossible. I’ve done it pretty often at work (tech support) and at home with sim eject tools, pointy tweezers, knitting needles etc. 5 minutes of patience and the port is like new. Just need to avoid the centre where the contacts are.

That’s just the materials used to make it though, what about R&D, software development, etc? I dislike apple but imo the phones are overpriced for a reason. Adding RAM or storage to their computers though… that’s real price gouging.

Not necessarily in the EU though, lol

I’ve been checking out GPUs to replace my 1060 since the pandemic and still haven’t found something compelling to upgrade to, price/performance wise. I guess I got spoiled by my 1060 but low end cards are anemic and mid tier is overpriced. 7700 and 7800 will hopefully be somewhat intersting.

claymore ,
@claymore@pawb.social avatar

All of what you said is true, I’m just cheap. Don’t feel like dropping money on a low end card just to have it struggle @1080p in new games and “mid” range still feels inflated. Might also be regional pricing where I live is just more expensive. Ever since Mindfactory stopped shipping outside germany I can’t find decent online stores, local or otherwise.

Zenfone 10 got released in july this year. I’d buy it on the spot if the software support was longer. The only phone in recent memory that has good specs and also looks decent

claymore ,
@claymore@pawb.social avatar

In the article it mentions that the SoC might have been chosen because on it’s extended software support of 8 years. Industrial tier electronics also usually cost more than consumer counterparts, so unlikely a cost cutting measure

toffeeshare.com is what I usually use for big files. But both sender and receiver need to be online for the whole transfer. It doesn’t store anything you send on their servers, but that’s a feature for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe check out Void Linux as well, the creator used to work on NetBSD before starting Void

you can type anything you want in both fields to skip it. a keysmash is my preferred method

Well, Win10 Home and Pro EOL is late 2025, so it’s tecnically correct…

Modern Gnome should in theory be able to adapt to any (reasonable) display size. So anything with recent enough repos would be a good fit

[SOLVED] Question about flatpak, nvidia drivers and steam

Edit: So after an exciting evening of uninstalling drivers, rebooting, playing a round of CSGO and starting over, I can report that nothing is broken. I haven’t tried much other than a handful of games though. In the end I removed the drivers in batches, uninstalling all versions of a major version together (all 515., then...

@claymore@pawb.social avatar

I checked a few and all of them are bound to steam, nothing else, apart from the last one that’s also being used by Blender. At this point i think I’ll try uninstalling the oldest and check if steam still works. After that I’ll work my way forward. Thanks

claymore OP ,
@claymore@pawb.social avatar

Right now I’ve only removed the oldest driver, and steam opened fine. No complaints in it’s terminal output. For now I’m going to test a few games and once I remove a few more versions I’ll edit the post.

Actual Hidden Gems on Steam

I love obscure and overlooked games and want to share a bunch with all of you. Most “hidden gem” threads end up listing titles with thousands of reviews or that got some level of marketing. I aim to mostly avoid that. While you may see a few familiar games here, everything in the list below has under 1500 reviews on Steam...

Two exploration games that I found enjoyable are 廃村巡り | Haisonmeguri and Umurangi Generation.

Haisonmeguri is super short with a few alternate endings, quite janky but the atmosphere and feel of the game are really well done.

Umurangi Generations is more polished and more of an actual game with objectives. I dislike that it’s timed, but that’s the only big criticism I have.

Is there a way to directly transfer files between laptops and PCs using regular USB cables?

I’ve replaced my old laptop with a new one and I have over 350GB worth of data to move over, moving all of it to an external drive and then moving them to the new laptop doesn’t seem efficient and it seems like it’s gonna take forever...

Without buying any cables, go to toffeeshare.com, select what you need and check the “Share with nearby devices” box to transfer everything over the local network. Just put both PCs on the same wifi network.
