Just nostalgia more than anything else it was my introduction to worms but your probably right. Certainly anything with a more modern look and play style.

I would pay for this for Worms 2 so I can play forever on my steam deck.

Me too

Mine has always been and still is far left of recents, stock pixel 6

Would love to see the Goldeneye XBLA leaked game get this treatment.

I set up a tasker intent that launches the pixel launcher then my kills it after 1 second followed by a restart of total launcher. This works well Got it as a quick settings tile. I use total launcher but it does it with lawn chair as well. Factory reset didn't help.

There is a 3rd party launcher issue on Pixels that will some times freeze the UI. It has to do with the use of the recents menu. It has been the bane of my existence on my pixel 6 for 18 months. Didn't used to do it. It could be easily fixed by Google but they won't.

No problem

Check this the update 8 is what I used and changed some configuration to suit my tastes

Satisfactory runs great on the deck, takes a bit of doing to get the control scheme working well. It's a serious time sink though. Loads to do. Currently moving from my starter factory to my first mega factory.

I just want 3rd party launchers to work properly.

Warranty expired

No I specifically bought a Sony for my parents for ease of use and it is one of the worst purchases I have ever made.

I picked this specific model after looking for 3 months.

No where in any of the documentation or reviews did it say by plugging in a HDD I can only record a channel if I'm watching it and not record one channel while watching another which is a total deal breaker.

Also it has developed a fault where it basically shits its self every couple of weeks and the picture pixelates. It needs to be unplugged for a week and plugged back in. I've tried a new power pack but it doesn't really help. The only other thing I could do is get a new main board but can't source one with 6 months of searching eBay.

Do yourself a favour and buy a cheap LG panel and stick a streaming stick in it and never connect it to the internet.

I bought an almost new note 9 from Amazon 6 months ago for £150 to use as a dedicated audiobook, music and podcast player. The note 9 is the last one with the Bixby button. This was a requirement to set as a play pause button.

I rooted it, installed lineage OS with android 13 and exposed edge pro, mapped the Bixby button to play pause and rear fingerprint sensor to skip forward on up swipe and skip backwards on down swipe, froze all the unnecessary apps and the cell services.

Battery lasts for 4 or 5 days because it doesn't search for cell signal. I only use WiFi on it.

I hope to get many years of use out it.

I had done this with an old S10 as a test base.

Great phone worth every penny.

Acer are middle of the pack with hp at the bottom, dell and Lenovo are probably the best. Golden rule, never ever ever buy anything made by hp, problems after problems especially their printers.

I prefer Lenovo to be honest but dell are good as well.

I have been repairing computers for 20 years.

Pixel 6 owner, third party launchers and gestures started screwing up for me about 6 months ago, I've never got round to a factory reset but I think that's my only hope, happens with every launcher I try.

It was explained like this in a thread somewhere.

The recents menu, the one where you swipe up, hold, and get a card view of all your recent apps, used to be in a file called systemUI.apk. The systemUI holds files for lots of things. The bottom 3 buttons, the top bar icons the pull down shade, and tons of other things, as well as the recents list. All of the things in systemUI are accessible from pretty much any app, like 3rd party launchers. It’s a safe place for Android to hold things that any dev can have access too. The launchers would just invoke the function to show the recents with no lag at all, just like the stock launcher did.

Google, being Google, moved the recents list into the stock launcher.apk. Now, when a 3rd party launcher has to call the function to show the recents, it now has to use an api to invoke it from the stock launcher. Call api function. Function asks the stock launcher to show the recents. Stock launcher returns call to 3rd party launcher. Recents are then shown. Now there is a slight lag, because now there is a middle man. This is also why sometimes you get a blank screen for a millisecond and also why you cannot click another app immediately after returning to the home screen when closing an app, or from the recents list using a 3rd party launcher.

Before this, you could actually delete the stock launcher and use any launcher you wanted. Now, the stock launcher HAS to be installed in order to show the recents list. If the launcher has been dormant for a bit, the launcher then has to reload into memory in order to call that api method. It’s a cluster fuck.

The solution would actually be very simple, but has some security implications.

Android has a property for the package name that is responsible for the recents menu. This value is usually hard-coded to the default launcher of the OS.

A Magisk module called QuickSwitch can switch this value to any package name of your choice, including third-party launchers that implement the new recents menu system. When you change it, smooth animations just work with third-party launchers.

If Google would make it so that this recents menu provider value would update as you changed your default launcher, smooth animations would work.

Bronze age axe head, one of my friends who has sadly past away found 4 or 5 and also half a bronze age sword. The more time you put in and more ground you cover the more likely you are to find something good.

Seen hammered coins, Roman coins, gold coins, sword pomells, viking silver, a Hitler youth dagger, Roman sling shots, lots of different stuff.

I use an Xp Deus based in the UK.

I'm sure it's legacy thing from back in the day, flashing means it's sending or receiving, solid means it's idle.
