Oh ok, thanks. Does it do homescreen icons and widgets? Last I tried it there was something I didn’t like but I can’t remember what.
I don’t understand why someone would want a “search-focused” launcher. You mean I have to bring up the on-screen keyboard and type out the name of an app instead of just scrolling & tapping an icon with 1-2 simple motions? Yuck. What am I missing?
Hm, it still looks a bit annoying that you have to go to their website and get Motorola’s blessing via a special unlock key, rather than doing it 100% on your own. But that looks more automated than in the past so maybe that’s an improvement. Thanks.
Those are some positive changes.
Is the battery easily replaceable? Have they stopped making it a pain in the ass to unlock the bootloader? Those are the things that matter for longevity of a device.
I’ll second this entirely.
Prey 2006 is a slightly gory boomer shooter with interesting topsy-turvy levels, gravity tricks, a few cool enemies and guns and powers, and a campy alien abduction / invasion story. It might be a little underrated in its genre. Definitely fun.
But Prey 2017 was more of a clever stealth action / psych horror title in the vein of Deus Ex and of course System Shock. Brilliant interconnected level design, a deep story, a good (though not super original) roster of guns and superpowers, some tricky puzzles, and a few interesting and enemies. It gets a good amount of love but I still think it deserves wider recognition as an excellent game.
It’s frankly stupid that they have the same name.
Windows 7 Ultimate for me. I still kept it as a boot option on my main PC until about a year ago because I thought I still needed it for a couple windows apps and games.
I tried Win8 at one point and hated the changes. I also tried Win10 and one of those “forced bloody updates” bricked my machine so I said ‘fuck that’ for good.
I’ve dabbled in Linux for 20 years, and run Ubuntu on my living room HTPC for at least a dozen. My main PC runs EndeavourOS now and even gaming has been pretty great.
I mean if you’re down to NetBSD as your pick you’ve probably already made some big concessions so plugging into Ethernet isn’t a huge leap at that point.
Most likely yes, as many others have said. Of course you’ll likely have to pick a very lightweight DE.
As a fallback there is always NetBSD.
But I’ve only ever been able to do from the 12nd onward…
Not yet, but it’s not a chance I’d be willing to take. They have at least one neighbor who’s supposedly been arrested for theft. He used to watch their dogs for them but when they found out they stopped talking to him and changed the locks.
No kidding! Glad someone gets it. A couple I know who Instagrammed their entire cross-Europe vacation last year couldn’t understand why I don’t want to travel at the same time as them this year even though we’re going some of the same places 🤦♂️
Damn, I really hope this isn’t true. I just started playing (even though my PC is below spec and I have to run it at potato quality) and I was having fun with the improvements over the original. I’ve followed the development and yeah initial launch was way premature but the 0.2 For Science! update looked to have turned things around.
But staff departure postings on LinkedIn are a very bad sign…
Happy birthday! I actually just started playing Journey for the first time yesterday, less than an hour I’d say (on Steam). The visuals and fluidity of controls are nice, nothing spectacular by today’s standards but I’m sure they were great back in the PS3 era. The beginning felt a little slow trudging through the sand until I understood how the scarf upgrades work. But then when I encountered another player it really started to click and go more smoothly. I like how the game encourages cooperation by pinging and refilling each other’s scarf energy, though I feel like progress might go slow again if I get stuck going solo next session. The puzzles are very simple but I was feeling sick so having a ‘cozy’ game was actually pretty nice.
I’m running Endeavour OS (KDE Plasma) and ran into a weird issue with my graphics. It’s like windows sometimes flicker and flight with each other, some fullscreen videos won’t play and just lock to a gray screen instead (e.g. in Steam, though YouTube is oddly fine), and most 3D games are super choppy and unplayable.
I’m not asking how to fix this, I just want to know how I start troubleshooting! I haven’t done anything special with my system, and I think the issue started after a normal pacman update. My GPU is a GeForce GTX 1060.
Any suggestions to get started? I don’t even know if the issue is Nvidia drivers, X, window manager, KDE, etc.
EDIT: The problem was Wayland. Fixed by logging in with X11 instead!
Pull down the shade at the top where it has your location and a basic 2-day forecast. Then if you scroll down you can see an hourly as well as a detailed 10-day forecast.
Heh. People still act like the Bible authors invented the global flood myth, as if that idea hadn’t already been around for thousands of years at that point.
Yeah MyRadar is the only app that seems to give me a reasonably accurate forecast in Ohio. I block ads and mostly look at the actual radar though.
Wunderground went to crap and I’ve really tried to like Shadow Weather but it’s wrong too often. Meteo Weather Widget is decent but not as useful to me as radar.
BuzzKill is great for wrangling your notifications. Match a word or phrase and group them, snooze them, set special vibration patterns, whatever.
Many are from a huge list (some modified) but I picked out favorites that seemed fitting for a pet and it was actually easier to just retype them. Some were my ideas (e.g. Lt. Dangle because I love Reno 911). I didn’t want duplicates so alphabetizing was the simplest way to avoid that. And yes I giggled pretty much the whole time 😁
