After a screening of The man who stare at goats, me and my friend were walking out of the theater silently, and as we approached a corner, we both had the same idea. Without a word, we both walked into the wall. It was pretty hilarious - for us.
Even though I really want to support them, I don’t think I could get used to it. I really hate large phones, I tried to get used to them but eventually I always switched back. That is the dealbreaker for me, but I also don’t like that it has a slower processor, worse cameras, and worse battery life than my 3 year old phone.
Good. Have fun uploading any information about me without wifi or an ethernet cable. Smart TVs were a mistake, even the most expensive ones are slow and trash.
While I agree, it is important to note that Valve is a private company. When you don’t have to please shareholders and do absolutely everything to increase revenue, there is possibility for a level-headed leader that keeps the company customer friendly.
But if anything changes (greed takes over or leadership changes), it could still turn.
Most people doesn’t have a choice when to wake up, as they need to get to work.
Even though I hate that it gets dark sooner, I think we should stay in winter time because AFAIK morning light is important for our health.
I guess you’re right.
I admit I haven’t thought about storage space on my phone for many years now, but that’s just my personal experience.
That’s fine. While it still takes space, it does not run in the background or at all. You can literally disable everything and softbrick the phone.
You can uninstall everything with this easily: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater
But can you completely copy the UX of a shield pro with raspberry pi?
I mean, I can grab the TV’s remote, or the shields remote, and whichever I turn on, both of them turn on. It also wakes up from sleep faster than the TV turns on. I can use the TV’s remote to control the shield. Basically it works completely transparently.
It also makes it work really nice with android phones. I can cast spotify, youtube, google photos, or the screen onto the TV, and it works better than the TV’s cast with the apps.
I used Plex and while it worked nice for most of the time, I got fed up with it trying to steer me away from local streaming, and having a hard time finding my way back to it in the therrible UI. I set up Jellyfin and couldn’t be happier, HDR, Dolby Vision, 4K streaming just works perfectly.
The UI is much faster than a flagship LG TV too…
What I’m asking is… is it possible to set up an RPi to work this seamlessly and user friendly? With apps like netflix, hbo max, jellyfin, etc, with a remote and nice and easy UI so anyone can use it on their first try?
I just checked, there is no simple DNS settings in firefox…
I have no idea what you were doing, maybe you tried to set up a Proxy?
There is DNS over HTTPS setting under Privacy & Security, where you can set up Cloudflare, NextDNS or Custom DNS. This works for me, but if you set this to “Max Protection”, a lot of sites will not work, which is not firefox’s fault.
You really should set the primary DNS in your router’s settings, but if that’s not possible (sometimes it’s not an option), then the second best is to set it in your device’s network settings.
I don’t know about browsers DNS settings as I’ve never used them before (I didn’t even realoze that’s a thing).
If your ISP’s DNS server is bad though, I suggest you modify the DNS settings in your network adapter. That way, every applocation will work better, not just one browser.
After a couple of free weekends, I was on the verge of buying it but then I saw that they separated squadron 42…
We should not let google take over the internet
It works just as well as chrome
It has proper vertical tab extensions, like tree style tabs
It’s measurable.
In my country we have a central test for kids at various age, and reading comprehension is also measured. Every age group is doing worse and worse every time.
It’s mind blowing to me, as a kis I didn’t understand the point of the test, like you read an A4 page or two and answer questions about the text, that is literally in the text right there, it felt pointless. Well as it turns out it’s not.
We are literally getting worse and worse understanding what we read. The future is scary.
Couldn’t you use a raspberry pi or something? My point was that a $50 android tv box beats the absolute top TVs both in terms of speed and compatibility with apps.
