Welp I will once again try for Hogwarts Legacy.

As for a meme, this isn't mine and it's kinda old but it really managed to stick in my head:

Thank You very much for this giveaway and your work moderating this community!

From reading the Magic Earth FAQ, I believe the user data actually isn't used for traffic at all (at least the manually reported events certainly aren't).

Edit: never mind I missed a later part in the FAQ:

Do you share data with third parties?

We send position data to our traffic provider to generate real-time traffic information. The data is anonymized on the phone, using a changing key (so it's not linked to you), and it is deleted after 5 minutes.

The first quote is taken out of context:

Not only are privacy and data protection founding principles for both Mobifree and F-Droid, the use of tracking-based in-app advertising poses a moral dilemma as well. If someone wants to gain access to an app, but does not have the financial means to purchase it, they can use it at a different kind of price - their user data.

For me this reads as them explaining and condemning that dilemma, instead of considering it as an option for F-Droid.

Yes definitely, here's my Steam 'Local Multiplayer' collection:

• Biped
• Move or Die
• Overcooked! 2
• Party Animals
• (Portal 2)
• Rayman Legends
• Screencheat
• Stick Fight: The Game
• Tetris Effect: Connected
• Ultimate Chicken Horse
• Unrailed!

Nintendo also has some great couch co-op games,for example:

• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
• Nintendo Switch Sports
• Super Mario Party

I also very much agree with the other commenter here, it's such a shame that couch co-op is dying. The only ones still believing in it seem to be Nintendo.

Another game that's fun to play is Unravel 2, but for me the Steam version had all sorts of problems so I ultimately ended up refunding it again.

If the main battery isn't "meant to be replaced", it will often act as the CMOS battery (e.g. MacBooks have been doing this since roughly 2008).

I find it even more puzzling as surely it has to be a decent increase in server demand to constantly be streaming video. How can that be worth it??

Push Notifications don't really exist for Lemmy yet, as they aren't supported in the backend currently:

As someone else here said, your best bet is probably monitoring your Inbox RSS feed.

+1 on OnlyOffice, it has 1:1 formatting compatibility with Microsoft Office. Unlike LibreOffice, it doesn't have to translate documents between odt and docx in the background.

In the same vein, OnlyOffice has poor compatibility with odt files etc.

Quite a few cars also still have a SIM card hidden somewhere, which can be removed. The location of it varies widely though and they're usually pretty hard to find.

That's incorrect, Graphene OS has Android Auto support.

I was very disappointed with the (default) Camera after switching to Graphene, luckily you can just download the Pixel Camera (including all the Pixel optimizations) from Play Store on Graphene OS or download it as an APK bundle from some other sites (downloading the normal APK won't work, it has to be the bundle).

Yesss fcast looks incredibly promising. Sadly the only app implementing it seems to be GrayJay, I really hope it will catch on more.

Not OP, but this instantly made me think of the worst-case scenario PDFs I stumbled upon on Lemmy recently.

TVHeadend is the way, I've been running it with a USB satellite tuner for 5+ years. Setting it up can be a little confusing, but once it's running you pretty much never have to touch it again.

As for clients, there's a Jellyfin plugin, however it seems to not work for me right now.

My client of choice is Kodi with the TVHeadend plugin, and that works great. If you still want Jellyfin integration, you could just add your recordings folder as a library in Jellyfin.

Could I purchase two different brand drives and use them with btrfs?

I don't quite remember the source for this, but I believe I read some time ago that it's actually a good thing to have separate drives. The reasoning is, if you buy two identical drives (at the same time), the likelyhood of both drives failing around the same time is severely higher.

This is then amplified by the fact that rebuilding a RAID puts a lot of strain on the non-dead drive, so if ie. drive 1 dies and drive 2 is about to die, the strain you put on drive 2 in order to rebuild your RAID onto drive 3 might kill drive 2 before you even finish rebuilding your RAID.

Again, this is just from my memory, it might be worth doing some more research on.

The reason Signal does this is that they consider your deivce storage 'unsafe', as it can be more easily accessible by other apps. AFAIK not providing the option to let you do it anyway is purely because the Signal devs don't want to.

Threema for example has an option to save all received media to normal storage, similar to WhatsApp.

The Pixel 8 and onwards technically support DP alt mode again. I'm not sure about stock, but I believe I read about some people having it just work in Graphene OS.

Incase you're still searching, chech my other comment here.

Slightly old post, but hopefully still helpful to someone:

I managed to read out my analog water meter using the following ESP32 image: https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device

It uses an ESP32-CAM module that actively reads your meter, using machine vision. The data is then published via MQTT. There are even some stl files for cases/mounts for common energy meters.

Once setup properly (with a 3D printed case from the provided stl files), I found it to work quite well. I have a pretty clean standard German water meter though.

I'd assume it won't, you can always just test it out though. There might be some setting for those timeouts in the Steam-steamdeck settings.
