I've been toying with the idea of getting back into Linux for a while now. While I'm still on W10 I'm not rushing, and haven't installed a TPM Module so Windows doesn't force W11 on me yet, but when I have no choice that may push my hand. There's some stuff I find easier on Windows but Linux has really caught up in the past 20 years and I reckon I could daily it in the coming years.

Oof I'm circa -10/-11 and that's rough enough. I'd say an inch vision not a centimeter for me.

Yeah I'm in my 40s now and could barely see aged 5. I had glasses that were so thick even getting them in high index the lens sticks out of a chunky frame.

Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Normality all have vivid memories in my brain.

I ended up getting a Stadia Premiere Edition (Controller and a Chromecast Ultra) for £20 down from £70 and tried it for essentially free (Stadia Pro 12 months free).

The got £20 refunded when they wound down - announced 3/4 of the way through my Stadia trial.

So all free and got a long cabled USB-C charger, a newer Chromecast than my old one, which ended up on the 2nd TV, and a controller I can repurpose.

Wild.

I've been using Podcast Addict for years now. Dunno why people think they are bound to one thing when Android offers so many choices.

Now this would be useful.

Samsung have been trying to dodge honouring under warranty for years - check the comments for how much work had to be put in to get them to honour it. It pays to fight sometimes.

Doubt it will ever get back to how it was with how easily they could be removed but there may be steps towards it https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/06/22/new-eu-law-to-force-smartphone-makers-to-build-easily-replaceable-batteries

Nice try winRAR / mIRC

I ran it on a mid range business machine from 2014 with mostly mild upgrades and a 1060 6GB. I've since upgraded everything but the GPU, need to have another stab but I keep playing CS2 instead. When I'm not playing that it's TOTK on the Switch.

Now my migration to Lemmy feels complete.
