Nice! With both Bancamp and 7digital being sold to some licensing company, apparently the same one even, I've been looking for a new place to get my digital music. Hope this works out for them!

There's also web push. You can send push notifications straight to someone's browser, no need for a dedicated app anymore. Not sure if patreon has implemented this, but they could if they wanted to.

That's not the only issue, fat32 also has a hard limit on single file size. The largest a single file can be is 4GiB, and afaik you just can't get around that with fat.

iirc, the way windows deals with this in its media creation tool is that it strips out locales and other things you don't need, based on the options you selected previously, so the file ends up being small enough to fit.

Wait why was iso not intended to be used like this? As far as I can see, it was always meant as a digital image of a CD, which is how it was used, and pretty much still is right?

iirc there was a reason you should use dd instead of directly copying the data, I think something to do with device block alignment or something?

No, the drive needs a boot partition for the bios to know there is something to be booted on the drive.

Most Linux ISO's do properly include the partitions in the ISO, so you can clone the iso to a drive and that should work, using dd for example. But just copying the files won't work.

iirc windows iso's did use to support just creating a fat32 partition and moving all the files over, not sure how they managed that. But now the international ISO for win 11 has a file that's more than the max 4Gb allowed by fat32, so you can't do that anymore either.

Minecraft has been running fine on mobile, even as far back as like 2012 or something when it came out.

I remember playing it on an iPad 2, which is surely way more underpowered than the switch, and it ran perfectly fine. So it is possible. Guess they just didn't really try hard enough?

The product images do include an ALICE layout model, I guess they just used blank shift keys? hmm maybe i can use it

I haven't used them, but wouldn't those be way heavier than PBT keycaps? I'd imagine they would actually affect the actuation force, but I wonder if it's enough to be noticeable.

They look pretty nice, but looks like they don't include a split spacebar, so not for me unfortunately.

So what's the best android tv box nowadays? Still the Shield TV?

I have the latest chromecast with android tv (i think, who knows with these garbage model names), and it's always been quite sluggish to use, and I can't replace the home screen on it to one without ads since they locked down the bootloader.

So I'm looking for one that's a bit snappier, and preferably with an unlockable bootloader, or at least the ability to replace the default launcher.

Can't you just install openbox on any other distro? Looks like it's available for all the major ones at least.

Oh absolutely. I kinda feel like preventing the default action on a tag like that should just not be allowed, or browsers should not display the target link thing if it has an event listener attached or something.
