You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

Jump

  • Civilization 4, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White just to name a few. See you next year. :p

    • Why I refuse to upgrade - 8 minutes video explaining why it's not that interesting to upgrade phones nowadays

    Jump

  • I wish Sony will bring back the XZ1C but with updated internals. Everything else can remain, even the 720p screen.

    • Linux Switch advice?

    Jump

  • Trial by combat. May the last OS standing win. :p

    • Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?

    Jump

  • Daily drove wayland back in November when I finally built my new desktop and installed Nobara. It's the default and it juat worked out of the box. Have always been a windows user until now.

    Games workost of the time. Good enough for me. Full team Red build inside the case.

    • If you could send a book back in time for a person to read, what book would it be and who would be the recipient?

    Jump

  • Permament Record by Edward Snowden to George Orwell.

    • Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone

    Jump

  • Asus Zenfone 8 purchased outright in Australia. App does not exist on my phone.

    • Exclusive: Google Pixel 8a boasts 120Hz display, Tensor G3, DisplayPort output, better availability

    Jump

  • The fact that there exists a solution to protect against accidental edge touch means that having the digitiser/screen all the way to the edge of the device is a flaw in the design. 🤣

    • What's something you wish would "come back" but you feel like you're the only one that cares?

    Jump

  • Yeah, the price is a big turn off for me.

    • Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them

    Jump

  • I find for me it is half about the usability of thw phone one handed and the other half being pocketability. I don't want to have to carry a man-purse just to be able to have my phone with me at all times. Front pocket of jeans is where i keep my phone and the pockets are not deep enough to contain the phone without pressing into my hips when i sit. Keeping the phone in the back pocket is just inviting theft.

    I just want another Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with updated specifications.

    • What's something you wish would "come back" but you feel like you're the only one that cares?

    Jump

  • Proper Compact phones. Think Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact or iphone mini size. Screen size of less than 5", none of this phablet sized monstrocity. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S24 or the Zenfone 8 - 10 exist (I'm typing this on a Zenfone 8), but I personally bo not consider them compact in any way.

    Rant over. :p

    • How to sign up to services that require sms authentication?

    Jump

    • Minimal Phone: Low-priced smartphone with E Ink display and complete keyboard

    Jump

  • I switched from a Pebble Time to a Gaemin Vivoactive 4s. I think it's as close to an eink smart watch as it gets.

    • Why Are You Still Rooting Your Android Phone?

    Jump

  • I used to, but ever since I started using a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact followed by the XZ1 Compact and now the Zenfone 8, ive never rooted it since it's not as easy to do so compared to my old Nexus 4.

    • You can only pick 2 games from steam to play for the rest of your life, what games are they?

    Jump

  • Civilization 5 and Space Engineers

    • What's the best Anime watching app available for android currently ?

    Jump

  • Anime Cast works for me. Sometimes I have to try different servers but I cn deal with that.

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • I've just started deleting my stuff. Their mass delete doesn't seem to work and it looks like i need to do it one at a time manually. Argh.

    • Top comment gets to choose my hostname

    Jump

  • I'm a PC 😉

    • Fossil is quitting smartwatches

    Jump

  • Yes but I'm sad they are moving away from MIP and switching to AMOLED. That said, I recently discovered Coros smartwatches and they are still using "memory LCD". Only time will tell if they'll stick to it or transition to AMOLED as many others have.

    • Fossil is quitting smartwatches

    Jump

  • I upgraded from a Pebble Time to a Garmin Vivoactive 4. Quite a bit more expensive but I'm really liking it.

    I'm just sad that Garmin is slowly replacing their Memory-in-pixel display in favor of AMOLED screens. MIP displays seemed to me to be the next best thing to e-ink type displays - always on with minimal battery drain.

    I'll just need to keep my watch for as long as I can.
