I don’t get the arguments either way.

Buy the 512GB phone if you need it?

Yeah I’ve tried it but I kept having other UI and remote issues so had to stop. I’ve debated whether just breaking the trace on the remote. I hate hate clicking it.

I Google all sorts of shit. I can make a best guess decision or I can Google it and find a better answer…

Just before one of the largest non-nuclear explosions was detonated.

There is no reason we NEED a new switch though. Never tegra chips already exist.

I know :( But there are alternatives.

Yeah they’ve been great devices for me supporting everything they can with updates. No youtube HDR is probably my biggest bummer with it. Having to have the TV connected to the internet just for that is annoying.

giant_smeeg , 10 months ago to asklemmy in If you knew you were going to get Alzheimer’s at 65 would you have kids?

I’ve had a pretty tough time with our kid and our test has always been.

If that happened today, would I wish she wasn’t here. So far the answer is always an unresounding no.

I’ve got a 2015 model in the bedroom and the newer 2019 model on the main TV.

It’s still plenty fast for general TV app watching. In a new model I want AV1 and VP9.2 support (Future proof and to give youtube HDR).

HDMI 2.1 to gamestream 4k120hz gameplay. Other than that it still supports absolutely everything. Other enhancements that would be nice:

• New remote without a Netflix button.
• USB C ports
• Better bluetooth radio, really struggles with my xbox controller.
• Other HDMI 2.1 features like faster framerate/HDR switching.
• 2.5gig ports (not necessary at all but why not)

Im running Windows 11 on my new laptop. Every major update it’s like:

• PLZ LET EDGE BE UR BROWSER
• BRO PLZ, OFFICE SUBSCRIPTION
• LOCATION?
• Let me just install tiktok and FB apps.

My laptop officially supports Ubuntu, think I might make the switch full time. I don’t game on my laptop and most of it’s use is browser, plex and emails…

They will when forced too. Like europe and the tax on their petrol/diesel.

I’ve love a big stinking 5L v8 but fuel is so expensive.

Why duplicacy? I currently use Rsync and Rclone to and from various cloud providers.
