Giving you a heads up as a Onyx Boox Nova 3 owner. These devices are poorly supported. You'd get maybe a year of "updates", meaning the bundled apps are updated. But after that you are on your own.

It's a brilliant e-reader don't get me wrong, and I'll take it over a Kobo or a Kindle any day. But go in assuming that you'd want to keep it offline.

For me, Windows 11 mandatory account, and Internet on setup. Yes there are bypasses, yes I could upgrade from 10. But where I'm from, having the internet isn't always a given.

So imagine dropping $500-$1000 on a new laptop booting it up for the first time, and learning that its now a brick since Windows refuses to let you use it since you have no internet. No Pro license can unbork you from this.

Even MacOS isn't that dumb (for now).

The account thing is a personal beef I have with windows. I.e. my PC my account, why does it need to be online, I have no reason for it.

So my plan was to migrate to FOSS or proper cross platform software for work, see if Linux works, and if it doesn't move to MacOS. So far Linux Mint has been stable.

2 systems, putting the games on my shelf with their boxes (disc games and DS games), and for cartridges games, putting their labels out, or using 3D printed stands to show the cartridge art.

I agree, though Daily appears to be much better. For the sable release I see it like GIMP to Photoshop

Not officially, but there are some github projects which help with it

Export it as a fusion file (*.f3d), you can reopen the file in Fusion and you won't loose anything

There is cad plugins for blender. That said try FreeCAD again with the next major release. From the looks of FreeCAD daily, it’s really improved

I’ve personally switched over to FreeCAD, because of Autodesk signin policy (not this one, fusion kept signing me out forcing me to keep having to log back in). I am excitingly waiting for the next major FreeCAD release since the daily builds are looking extremely promising.

Booting up Mario Kart DS and seeing 3D on a portable game system. For years it was 2d portables, 3D consoles. But now both had 3D. My mind would have exploded if I ever saw the steam deck or switch.

This is how switched, though I’d recommend properly platform agnostic software (Windows, Mac, and Linux support) since if you don’t find Linux proper works for your workflow, you could switch to a Mac.

Another thing which helped me was switching my Laptop first before my Desktop since if I had problems (which I did) I could loose my laptop and not worry about data loss.

As of now, I am 2 year with Linux on my laptop and 6 months on my desktop with no noticeable difference between my Windows experience and Linux.

PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate, while I love the games music, it’s not necessary since it’s a tower defence game.

Spyro 1-3. First game set the mood. Second game refined the formula, last game had fun with it. Still play it to this day.

That was the reason we did it, though a wirelessly earbud and a call was less headache inducing.

Na, learnt that lesson along time ago when my Dad was trying to help me and got my account banned.

Because years ago I made my PC password with Capslock on since a warning would show.

So genius 13 year old me said, "hey even if someone knew my password, they'd never know how it was inputted."

So my actual wake key is capslock.

Only my PC uses this old password method now, everything else is passphrase+uniquekey

Like google+lemmyworld

Depends the OS.

Windows its Space

On Linux shift since space will fill in the password field with spaces

Orchestral my pick is Journey, with Uncharted as a close second

Actiony my pick is Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Game. Love the band.

Retro - Chrono Trigger/Spyro 1-3/Pokemon Ruby Sapphire Emerald.

Use to sell on eBay for years, and remember a time when we shipped a Scuzzy drive to Australia only to find ourselves in eBay court. Thankfully we kept receipts and won. But as a seller you need to be extremely cautious with what you list.

I don't like eBay but for other reasons like 3d printed model resellers who rip models and pictures from thingiverse and sells it like its theres. Even if the model is under a noncommercial license.

It tracks it but since eBay uses the term "used" for all the category its hard to tell the difference between the box vs box+power+av vs box+controllers+power+av

Sometimes it comes with crappy third party controllers other times it comes with one legit and the other is a madcatz

So its a bit unreliable for exact prices, but good enough to get a feel for what bit should be worth.

It’s my go to when looking up game prices. That said I used eBay completed for consoles, since it doesn’t track hardware as well the last I checked.
