  • 11.37%. Now we're talking.

  • I'm being a little facetious to highlight that your "operating systems distributing Linux Kernel, therefore they are Linux distributions" comment is a bit silly.

    Yes technically Android and ChromeOS are Linux, but that's not really what people mean when they say Linux. It's not the Linux kernel specifically that they want, it's usually the freedom and openness.

  • Windows contains WSL. It's distributing the Linux kernel which makes it a Linux distro, right?

  • It's the opposite for me. Using a modern browser is a real struggle, but running old games, watching DVDs and listening to MP3s? As good as ever!

  • The Issue With Wii U Gamepads And How To Clone Them

    Jump

  • I often wondered why they didn't do a Nintendoland-style game for the Switch once they started pitching it as a per-person device rather than a per-household device, having some games which use one Switch connected to the TV and another replicating the gamepad could have made for some cool mini-games

  • The Issue With Wii U Gamepads And How To Clone Them

    Jump

  • What devices are supported?

    • Steam Deck
    • Linux (check Wi-Fi hardware compatibility)
    • Nintendo Switch (requires Broadcom firmware patch or external Wi-Fi adapter)
    • Android (currently frontend only)
    • Windows (currently frontend only)
    • Raspberry Pi (requires external Wi-Fi adapter)

    Sounds like it!

  • The Issue With Wii U Gamepads And How To Clone Them

    Jump

  • this finding was immediately turned into a GitHub project called Vanilla Wii U, that enables a Steam Deck to be used as a gamepad, as well as any Linux – and presumably BSD – system with a compatible WiFi adapter

    Look at me, I'm the gamepad now

    Seriously though, this is a really cool discovery!

  • World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles

    Jump

  • More than things like the Phillips CD-i which makes the Wikipedia list, so they're at least distinguishing between consoles and PCs

  • tough choice?

    Jump

  • it’s doing something right

    That's where the problem lies, we know it's doing something right but we don't understand what or how it works, we're too reliant on it to change it, and the workarounds we have to make to accommodate it are a pain in the arse.

    Jump

  • Wikipedia seems to think they are. I've seen "home consoles" used when you want to exclude handhelds, what makes you say that they're technically not consoles?

  • What was your Android app of 2025?

    Jump

  • Probably Street Complete, it activates the same dopamine receptors in the brain that Pokémon Go did, but it's contributing to Open Street Map in the process.

    Honourable mention to Ente Photos, recommended to me by some of you as a great Google Photos alternative.
