$450. Its a pixel 8. Admittedly I have also considered a case just to streamline the shape, I really really hate how the camera bumps out the back. It really was designed with the expectation people would use a case.
I have been scolded by my SO for going caseless, but I also hate how rubber ones turn my pocket inside out as I retrieve my phone sometimes, and I dont drop it. If I was prone to being more clumsy I might concede
I dont even use a case. The very idea that phones are sold in a state of fragility that I am required to add another layer to it is bullshit. There are some very minor scratches as a result but nothing noteworthy. The real reason I go caseless is this shit is too bulky already, phones keep getting bigger and I want them smaller.
You may also want to run non-steam games. I’m still new to linux and haven’t tried that yet but I think I will need to for my GoG library.
Starcraft - alt and ctrl are frequently used, easy slip to make in a rush. Pretty sure there was an override in the options menu specifically for preventing this.
A Bethesda game not optimized?? Unheard of. I expect a completely bug free experience with no jank whatsoever.
Duly noted, will look into it, thanks!
I just switched to linux and totally forgot about this. Do I really not need one? 99% of what I do is steam gaming anyway so I’m not too worried, worst case I just format and reinstall, but still…
Might be driver issues. Current nvidia drivers are apparently pretty fucked. On Bazzite myself, Lies of P started having all kinds of issues after updating the distro. I had to rollback to a version from the beginning of the year and it seems to have fixed it. The hangs I get were pretty random so I need to play more to be sure. Might be worth trying as a last resort.
I gotta say its shocking that powerpoint is your go to for image editing like that. Like, its kind of impressive but wow that seems like a super difficult way to do it.
Its sort of a thing. Pine phones use open source linux. I think the main problem is development of apps to run on a linux phone isn’t popular so its pretty bare bones as a system. Havent used one myself though.
Accuracy. When the slightest twitch makes me spin its way harder to consistently hit targets, especially small ones at a distance. Slower is better for sniping, faster works if you’re rocking shotties. A buddy of mine plays so much quake he has macros that adjust his mouse speed upon switching weapons so it adjusts accordingly, and it really makes a huge difference.
Its weird to me how every viral hit looks janky as fuck. Suddenly a bunch of people on my friends list were playing this and I was confused when I looked at what it is. Now reading that its a youtuber thing somehow sort of explains it, I guess?
Different industry for me, but we just call this professional development. As long as whatever is being read or studied can be related to improving your value to the company, performance at the job, or even learning to perform another job at the company, its not only allowed but encouraged. This of course comes with the caveat that you still need to get all your work done, which it sounds like you do. If anyone hassled me I would just say “this is part of my professional development” and that would be the end of it. I even enter this stuff in my performance reviews, and at my prior job it was expected to have something (and they would budget for me to take a training or class, typically of my choosing).
As I recall the powers combined with shooting was really new to the genre, along with the ways you combine them. Lighting enemies on fire who would run to water to put themselves out, then hitting water with electricity to zap a group was creative stuff. The way big daddies acted like a boss fight you could tackle in a bunch of different ways was significant too. The options there and with many other obstacles gave player agency for how to navigate most non-linear levels that was a real rarity. For instance, those turrets - have you shcoked them and hacked them? What about freezing them and hacking them? Or using hypnosis on enemies to make them fight the turret? But hacking all those turrets makes for a great distraction in a big daddy fight. And breaking the turrets gives you more ammo.
At the time most shooter were “go here shoot this, go there shoot that” and hell, thats still really common. This game really shook it up, even if it drew inspiration from thief and system shock, it did a lot to improve and advance them. Combined with the unique environment, smart story line, and interesting characters there’s plenty of reason it sticks in people’s memories as an all time classic.
Dammit but I thought I was as young as I feel!
Wait… That’s still old. Shit.
So I feel like it should be possible for a popular browser like firefox to obfuscate these finger printing results by reporting and requesting standard readouts. For example, requesting layouts for all common phone resolutions, then filtering on the user end and giving the user their actual layout. If every instance of firefox gave the same bogus info it would camouflage a large number of users. I’m sure this would use a little more processing power and data, but would probably be worth having a privacy toggle for.
I am not a tech pro, I assume I am missing something that prevents the feasibility of this idea.
I thought I did, they had a drop down menu to select based on my card. Maybe I screwed that up, will double check, thanks
Works great on my main PC. I have some legacy hardware, a 12 year old PC I shoved a gtx970 into, and I cannot seem to get Bazzite running on it. It would run Win10 and most modern titles well enough to let the kiddo play on it, so this is disappointing. Maybe I need a different distro for something so old?
Been using Bazzite. Super simple install, been working really well.
Thats fair. When I had a smaller phone I did use a case. It took me awhile to get used to not using one, I have to grip it differently to prevent slipping.
