A friend gave me their old gaming laptop, it was mid-range when she bought it, and she didn't use it anymore. I stuck bazzite on it, and I really like the experience! I'm no stranger to Silverblue, so some of the atomic host stuff was already old hat to me, but I was impressed by how much worked straight out of the box. It's kinda become my retro gaming go-to device.
I tried a couple of years ago, but it kept crashing after a day or two. Not sure if I set it up wrong or something?
Currently running searx-ng, which I quite like.
So, I never had to try, it just always worked for me. But, a friend of mine once said that she got it to work by holding her finger up in front of her face, like a foot away, and then looking past the finger at something farther away. Then, back to the finger. Looking past her finger, she'd see two of the finger, but as soon as she was thinking about the finger, she'd focus again on it and start just seeing the one finger. The trick to the magic eye is basically getting to where you can deliberately focus past the finger and still look at it?
I don't know, I just look and see the image. Once, someone made a fake one that had no image to try to mess with me.
There's also a neat trick where you can immediately see the difference in side by side images by "magic eye-ing" them. The differences kinda flicker or glow, it's hard to explain.
There are some games that run anti-cheat that just don't run. I don't play any of those at the moment, but other than that, no.
The odd thing has quirks, but between Steam and Lutris, I'm good. Not a heavy duty gamer though.
I really like self -hosting, and some great concepts are coming out of containerization, but I also feel like the next generation are being fed a steady stream of "Rent, lease, stream" to such an extent that kids I know literally don't understand files on their computer, only cloud connected apps and content. I kind of wish there was a philosophy of tech course that made people carefully consider some of the trade-offs we're constantly making with the big five.
My library: Tech Mentors! People bring in their laptops, cell phones, whatever, and we show them how to install programs, create accounts, surf, write resumes, fill out government forms, you name it.
If you can Lemmy, you can volunteer at the library to help people from being lost online.
Oh, it's awful!
I mean, I knew it was going to be a bit heavier, with the dual screens, but I figured for media and stuff I could use it like a laptop. What I didn't know? No keyboard on the e-ink. If you have it in landscape, you have a giant, unusable keyboard on the LCD part. No backlight on the e-ink. No way to move apps from one screen to the other without closing them out completely. But this is the part that really bakes my bacon... No portrait mode on the e-ink side. None. The good eReader review seems to have missed that it's absolutely, 100%, stuck in landscape!
Also, the battery is awful. I listened to a podcast for 10 minutes, display off, and burnt 10% of the battery. I have 10-year-old laptops with better battery life.
I asked for a return/refund, but of course, crickets.
Their only support is apparently on a Facebook page. I won't be getting Facebook any time soon, but I am told that they are ignoring support requests anyways.
I run each of them separately in containers!
