  • I'll give it a try, thanks :)

  • It was nothing to do with the phone. I tried to find one for my father to use for his computer, as he only used the internet now and then, but the SIM only plans had data restrictions on tethering.

    They started off as unlimited pay as you go with prices charged by the megabyte then gigabyte, then once high data plans came in, they started to get restricted.

    As I said, it's been changing, but as far as I know, there are still plans with tethering restrictions.

  • The Steam Deck works so well because the screen is only 720p, and even then people have complained about low framerates on some games. Scaling it up to 4k for a modern TV would drop the performance even more.

    It looks like a great handheld, but I think trying to use it as a console wouldn't work.

  • The Steak Link app doesn't recognise controllers reliably on Android. I've got a few controllers that work in other games, are recognised as being connected in Steam Link, but just don't work. Connecting them with a cable lets them work straight away.

  • I don't think it would ever fly in Europe.

    It does, or at least did. I'm in the UK, and it used to be fairly common. Over the last few years, maybe the last decade, more and more providers used the lack of tethering restrictions as an advertised feature to show that they were better than the competition.

    Now that we've left the EU though, I wouldn't be surprised to see the restrictions come back. We've already lost free EU roaming on a lot of tariffs.

  • Fantastic, thank you :)

  • Sorry, off topic, but do you have a link to the photo deduplication conversation please? I need to get mine sorted :)

  • If you're looking to start with Usenet, DrunkenSlug currently has open registrations. I don't know much about it yet, but it's got a very good reputation 👍

  • Do it. Doooo iiiit...

  • Amazon Photos daily memories is terrible though. With Google Photos, I get photos, slideshows, and others every day, usually with photos from several years. On Amazon Photos, I'm lucky if I get half a dozen plain photos in a day, usually from the same set.

  • Apparently that's in the US. Before you try it, check that it's a thing in your region 👍

  • I'll look into it, thanks :)

  • Looks great, thanks :)

  • That looks very nice, thanks :)

  • Yeah, that would be my luck. I'm going to dig through the specs and try to find the difference, and go from there.

  • Unfortunately it doesn't clear anything up. It's a m2007j17g, and some sites label it with the 5G, while some label it without. Xiaomi UK doesn't have any results for the model number, and lists both versions. The specs are pretty vague for both, saying things like one supports lpddr4 vs lpddr5

  • I'll look into it, thanks :)

  • It's not even good hardware.

    I've got a Mi 10t Lite, and the camera is useless. It randomly blurs patches of photos when it takes them, especially if you dare to use the zoom
