This… is intriguing

Super interesting!

I don’t remember which app it was (Maybe PayPal?) but whenever I opened it I would suddenly get Instagram notifications. Always found that odd/assumed there was some sort data sharing going on there.

Hot damn

Now we just need PictoChat

Oh very cool! Even easier then

When I opened it to swap the SSD I preemptively changed the joysticks with electromagnetic ones from Gulistick. (LCD Model)

It was really quite straightforward, but I would suggest being familiar with some soldering prior (if you want the capacitive touching function). Otherwise, they have great instructions. The case is great for holding it screen down while you work.

They’ve been great, no complaints.

Very nice, picked this up a while ago on Windows and it’s been very useful

Me learning Linux:

I have no idea what the difference between systemd-boot and grub.

Also, I’m not going to check which one is being used, I’ll just remove the one I don’t like

Linux:

Get after it chief

Why did I have both installed? No idea. Did I have to make and use a recovery USB? Absolutely.

😂 oh no, I’ve doxed myself

Oh that’s nice, I didn’t realize the plate swap had new buttons with it. I’ve been tempted to look into it more but it felt daunting - even with a decent amount of experience pulling stuff apart

Back button “enhancement set”.

Hated the stock back buttons and just never used them because they lined up exactly with the joint on my finger.

These just stick on with some 3M tape (definitely clean prior to application) and my fingers rest on the buttons now - and they’re way easier to click.

I also grabbed some thumb stick cover things, but those aren’t as “game changing”

Always appreciate updated and current videos on the process, even if I can’t mimic on Linux.

Something that has always frustrated me about the editing process is that every program has its own unique features

Some you get wavlets

Some you get stacking and aligning

Some you get level adjustments and curves

All while most of the programs are deprecated and/or abandonware

I think currently I have Registax, Auto Stakkar, Siril, PiPP, and Gimp installed for processing just because some programs perform features better than others.

Looks interesting - how is the game loop since it’s a rogue-like? Tedious, or does it feel pretty rewarding?

I’m not sure they’re really comparable.

That phones 2nd display was: 1040x160 pixels

The main display was: 2560x1440

~4%

The 2nd display also couldn’t display another app, but was limited to:

• Quick Tools (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)
• App shortcuts (specific apps)
• Recent apps
• Quick contacts
• Music controls
• Signature (By default your name)
• Upcoming plans

And didn’t allow inline replies or ‘normal’ notification features (at that time it was Android 7).

The one perk that phone did have was that the 2nd display could be on while the main screen was off.

You definitely can - might not hurt to have a little Star Wars knowledge prior to watching it, but it’s a good standalone.

If you do watch Andor (and enjoy it), you should check out Rogue One afterwards as the two very much tie together and have a similar ‘vibe’.

The only ‘downside’ of having Andor (and Rogue One if you watch it) be your only exposure to Star Wars is that the rest of the media is very different and might not be as enjoyable.

Game informer is back‽ Exciting

I went from Emby -> Plex -> Jellyfin in the past few years.

It comes down to user preference really. I swapped from Plex to Jellyfin for two reasons:

- Didn't want to pay for hardware transcoding
- Didn't like the route Plex was heading with their opt-out free "Plex TV"

Major difference is that Jellyfin is free for everything, nothing locked behind a paywall. Plex definitely supports more devices though (ex: officially supporting Synology NAS) and a lot of people like the design better.

Both support plugins, custom themes, etc.

Also, while Plex can be configured for offline/LAN use, by default I believe it requires an online account.

Edit: Plex announced (2/25/25) that they’re killing the ‘Watch Together’ feature

Edit2: Plex announced (3/01/25) that they’re placing remote play behind a paywall

Edit3: Plex and your personal information 5/29/25

God dammit, LaFleur

Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely take a look!

Nice!! I don’t have any equipment to do any of this myself, but did see a video SaveItForParts on this. Cool to see some images!

Leave it off for a few days and stick it near a dehumidifier if you have one. As long as it stays off until it’s completely dry it should be okay.

Agree with the other commenter that rice isn’t the best bet. Even if nothing ‘bad’ happens, it can get stuck in the heat sink and/or get moldy if you don’t get it all out.

If you’re really worried, you could take the shell off the deck off and dry the inside.
