Depends on what you do and depends on how it's set up.
At a previous job we had thin clients set up to connect to some remote desktops, and indeed they were running an OS locally, but had barely enough resources to run the OS and the client app.
IMO the only thing the cloud is useful for in this context is maintaining and syncing saves. Other than that I want my games running locally, thank you.
This has to be rage bait. I feel like the less time I'm on there, the happier I am. Even the 30 minutes daily limit that I usually set for apps like that is time I'm never getting back.
The only reason I have an account to begin with is because I'm a photographer (even if just a hobbyist) and I like to have some presence in the circles I'm in. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be there at all.
Yeah, maybe you're right. Seems like a better idea would be to just talk to the kids and get them convinced that it's trash and/or find them something more productive to do.
I'm all for hardware remappable keyboards in laptops too - just like what you can have with an external one. I do realise though that this is a niche within a niche. From what I know only Framework (oh, and System76) is doing something like that.
I'm on one of the last versions from before the acquisition (8.1.1) and intend to use it for as long as I can while searching for alternatives. Thankfully my Prime key still works (email one, not Play Store), maybe the checks are hardcoded in some way.
What I'm thinking now is to get the APK and self-sign it as a way to prevent Play Store from auto updating it. I'm with a non-rooted device, this seems to be about the only way I have. I have already unchecked the auto update for it, but it still appears in the update list, and if I tap "Update all", it would update. Does anyone have experience with this?
