This little thing looks very interesting. What is the battery life like? Is the handwriting-to-text stuff only viable in specific apps, or can it be used in place of keyboard input?
I would probably use it just like my Kindle, keeping it in airplane mode until I actually need to download something (or in this case, upload notes).
Fair. I did stray from the “rpg” theme on… Most of my responses.
Will look up Spirit of the North though! It sounds right up my alley
For real. Its high time I replay it, too. Been long enough that I just remember general themes.
You sound a lot like me, and probably get annoyed with a lot of grindy mechanics. Especially when you have limited time to play games.
Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes will really scratch that Chronotrigger itch.
Outer Wilds is also incredible (don’t read spoilers, just go in blind). It’s mini space exploration with cartoon-arcadey newtonian physics.
Sword & Sworcery is also great, and a good point-and-click adventure with an amazing soundtrack. I’d almost argue it’s better on a tablet or largeish phone through. It’s very touch input focused, which is OK with a mouse, but I think is better with a finger (as intended)
Others I enjoy :
Just a cheap and reliable bucket to rsync my local backups to. I’m leaning toward Hetzner, but was checking out filen after your suggestion, too.
An over-complicated solution I was tossing around with some friends was to set up a cheap NAS at our respective homes, and just rsync to one another. Then we can just sneakernet the drives if we need a recovery.
I’m in the same boat, actually. I’m hosting at home, but want to set up off-site backups, and am looking for something cheap and reliable.
As for the actual process, rsync is probably the best method. I just need to find a good host
I know you can register a google account with an external/non-gmail account. However, you can’t transfer the workplace accounts, or reassign them to other things. Once you close your workspace account/subscription, they’re vapor.
If there’s a way to do it, that would be fabulous, of course!
Unfortunately, that’s not an option. I’m going to continue using the same email address, and I don’t want to continue spending the $30ish a month for services and storage I’m no longer using.
Twenty years later, I still sing this.
And I still wonder what happened to fhqwhgads.
Worked for me, too. Thanks friendly stranger :)
The new mantle I’ve been working on is finally ready to install! So, we’ll be mounting it this weekend, along with the TV (yes, “tv too high” but we don’t have an option). So excited to finally have this done!
Seconding this. Frigate is great, and I’ve been running it on an ancient Debian box with a coral tpu for a few years. The only dedicated camera I’ve had has been at the front door, but cams I’ve used for testing and “goofing off” have been great at motion detection and object recognition.
This is a pretty apt analogy, I think.
We’ve been using copilot at work, and it’s really surprised me with some slick suggestions that “mostly work”. But I don’t think it could have written anything beyond the boilerplate my team has done.
(I also spend way too much time watching Copilot and Intellisense fight, and it pisses me off to no end.)
Yeah, they’re a skip to endgame content. But they’re not any kind of “instant win.”
The couple types of pvp aren’t tied to your character level, and the most difficult raid content is best run with a group that you practice with. If you’ve never played, simply grabbing the game and one of those packages isn’t going to give you an immediate edge.
XIV is sort of a single player game with a bunch of coop boss fights.
And, not to be cliche, but you can play through the entire first two arcs (A Realm Reborn and Heavensward) completely free, with no real limitations. The only things locked out of the free tier are the more social aspects, and any content above level 60. A handful of jobs are locked, but there is a ridiculous amount of content available for free.
I’ve played a few other mmos and hated them all. XIV is something weirdly different. And the overwhelming majority of the community is chill and friendly.
This is actually a great theory. I’ve fixed several monitors and TVs that were just bad capacitors. It’s a logical conclusion with these, too.
I have my old Athlon fx lying around. Needs a case, psu, and the nic… Hmmmm
Yeah, those little micro units are what I had seen recommended. $300-400 is definitely pushing it for me. Especially when I would also want a bigger switch to accompany it.
Guess I need to stop eating avocado toast.
Edit: how is the stability/uptime for those little machines? Historically, I’ve always had problems with my routers needing to be rebooted at least once a month after they’ve been in service for 18-24 months. Even my current “business class” cisco router is crapping out on me every month.
I’m already using my own modem, none of that locked-down rental nonsense from my isp.
What hardware do you use for pf/opnSense? All of the recommended stuff I’ve seen is almost prohibitively expensive for my home networking budget.
I feel like it’s just me, but all of my devices with Open/DDWRT crap out after a couple years. Even well-reviewed prosumer-grade gear ends up becoming wildly unreliable in an unacceptably short amount of time. I had to double-check, and my order history puts me at a new router every 2-3 years. This “business class” RV260 will be hitting 2 years in the fall, and I’m already experiencing wonky behavior where it needs to be rebooted regularly. Maybe it’s just an unspoken truth that anything below true “enterprise tier” kit requires a weekly reboot. I should just put it on an outlet to cycle the power every Sunday at 2am or something…
That said, I do love DDWRT!
Awesome, thanks!
