  • "Whew, I'm gonna need a breather after taking that last breath"

    This is absolute poetry. FFS, our bodies are such absolute half-baked hack-jobs that we can't even honk properly.

  • How do you handle backups?

    Jump

  • If you're not ready to go full self-hosted Immich then Ente Photos seems like a good replacement for Google Photos

  • YouTube on TV becomes insufferable with new unskippable 30-second ads

    Jump

  • I don't have a general opinion, but given that youtube used to be an entirely free service that people put videos on with no expectation of being paid, and then google bought it, made it an effective monopoly, and have slowly turned it into the monetisation monster it is today, I don't think anyone owes them anything.

    Also you have the right to control what content appears on your device. You are under no obligation to watch an advert just because a megacorp says so. By putting something on the internet (without a login or pay wall) they are making it freely available for anyone to download. That's how the internet works (for now!)

  • Unskippable? The fire stick I bought for £20 begs to differ.

    (Or just run in a browser, but this is for a TV solution)

  • I was surprised to find that google maps works fine on GrapheneOS without play services installed (though obviously they might have changed it since I tested that out)

  • If you're in an area where OSM doesn't have address data then you can always add the missing data yourself using something like Street Complete

  • Resolution for output to monitor?

    Jump

  • Depends entirely what you're running, I've done some simple games at 4k 60 fps without issue, but some have to go to 1080p on low settings

  • Games you've given honest tries for and just don't find fun

    Jump

  • You don’t like Zelda games lol. Botw isn’t much of a Zelda game so it stands to reason you’d like it.

    Haha maybe it's as simple as that!

    The recent Link's Awakening remake was pretty well received, reckon they'll keep making both classic and botw-style Zelda games in the way games like castlevania do?

  • Games you've given honest tries for and just don't find fun

    Jump

  • Did we play the same game? BotW was the first Zelda game that I actually enjoyed!

    As a die hard Zelda fan

    I guess this is it, it's quite a different game to all the others, and people like different things.

    I will offer counters to all your points though:

    • The story is "Ganon's doing bad, stop him", same as most of the others
    • What about all the NPCs in all the towns?
    • There are 120 shrines, 4 temples, and a big final zone, how's that no dungeons?
    • The music was great
    • Aren't there enough different enemies to fill up that huge photo album?
    • The exploration was the most fun! Finding all the shines and secret seeds was great (clearly collectathons are my thing and not yours!), and the weapons breaking didn't really seem like an issue after a while.

  • Copper

    Jump

  • I'd guess it's the anti-static bag that one of the components came in. That said, the kind of person who has a copper heatsink probably also has a load-bearing towel.

  • VPNs Can’t Make You Anonymous Online. Don’t Be Fooled by Anyone Who Says They Can

    Jump

  • Answered in the article:

    And you’re not anonymous to the VPN itself when using its services because you’re essentially swapping the visibility into your online activity from your internet provider to your VPN provider. That’s fine if your VPN has an audited no-logs policy and runs on RAM-only or full-disk encrypted servers to serve as an extra layer of protection.

  • Leak confirms GrapheneOS & Motorola partnership for non-Pixel hardware

    Jump

  • GrapheneOS has strict requirements about hardware being secure enough, so if existing Motorola phones were secure enough then they'd already be supported. This is presumably about future devices that Motorola are going to build.

  • Sorry, can't do scarves.

    Jump

  • This is great. And an excellent lesson as to why you comment your hacks!

  • Any idea

    Jump

  • Is there a way to prevent my phone from being opened using my fingerprint, even in urgent situations, without completely disabling biometric authentication?

    I think the simplest way in an urgent situation is to turn it off. I believe (at least most android) phones will always request the pin on boot.

  • Can I use a Linux laptop to connect a Mac to wifi through an Ethernet cable?

    Jump

  • I'd second this suggestion. Very simple to set up with any old android device you've got lying around.
