Not just that, imagine having to have invasive brain surgery every few years when it’s time to upgrade, or malware that you literally can’t escape from. Or even just the usual software bugs would be a lot more annoying if it’s physically plugged into your brain

I would if I had one, I use a lightning adapter with wired headphones

You can also just say it’s the 12th since basically everyone knows what month it is when they ask the date!

Wow I didn’t realise it had been over a year already

With the oh no song playing in the background

It wasn’t much better before. Even before chatGPT blew up most of the results would be the same useless article that shoved as many key words in as possible but didn’t actually tell you anything useful

I misread the headline as AI chat bot for wankers but that probably still works tbh

Looks pretty good!

I’ll have to give that a try! Is there noticeable input delay? With game stream it was fine even over WiFi

That does sound better!

What’s the difference?

I’m sure I’ve made worse purchases but tbh I’m struggling to think of any truly bad purchases I’ve made at the moment, even this I don’t consider bad as it still does pretty much everything I want. I just don’t appreciate paying to be treated like shit by a company. And the main reasons I chose the shield over cheaper devices was the lack of ads and game stream, both of which have been taken away (yes the ads can be bypassed with a bit of tweaking but I shouldn’t have to)

This is probably one of the purchases I regret the most. First they updated it and put shitty banner ads in the launcher so I had to install a custom one to get round that. Then they disabled game stream which I’ll admit I only used a few times, but it was still one of the reasons I went with the shield over another device. And now this…

I think when I replace it I’ll just get a mini PC instead

Not sure if that’s wrong or not tbh, I use snapper instead of timeshift and I wanted /home included in the snapshots anyway (I think it let me set them up as 2 separate jobs). The reason I went with subvolumes instead of separate partitions is that I didn’t have to worry about sizing. I also know I can reinstall to my root subvolume without affecting the others, depending on the installer for your distro I don’t know how easy that is vs just having separate partitions. I played around with it in a VM for a while to see what the backup and restore process is like before I actually committed to anything!

Why do you have a btrfs volume and an ext4 volume? I went btrfs and used sub volumes to split up my root and home but I’m not sure if that’s the best way to do it or not

Can’t run viruses if you can’t run anything /s

This is how they came up with the plot for quantumania

Neither of them look particularly happy about it lol

I can kind of see the advantage to disabling it, we started using Windows Hello recently and while it’s mostly been good we have seen an increase in the amount of people forgetting their Microsoft password since they no longer need to use it to sign in every day.

I love how not killing civilians is now considered controversial
