  • Star Labs reveal their new StarLite, a Surface-like Linux tablet

    Jump

  • The problem is that tablets like this generally can't take advantage of the turbo boost on the CPU due to thermal throttling. I'll wait and see, but I expect it to perform worse than an N5100 laptop.

  • Looking at the uBlock Origin subreddit and reading the struggles people have with Youtube's new anti-adblock measures

  • Then you should stop using YouTube.

  • Google search is over

  • What are you browsing in? I use Firefox and never get any of those popups when I use Google.

  • Bluetooth headphones are solid now, as long as you have something that supports aptx HD and LL (HD for music, LL for movies/games). But yeah they're not cheap.

  • Firefox to become first mobile browser to support desktop extensions later this year

    Jump

  • The reason was they completely rewrote the mobile browser.

  • Steam Deck VS rivals

    Jump

  • I have a Steam Deck and was considering "upgrading" to something that has more power.

    But then I wanted to play Torchlight 2, an action-rpg designed for mouse and keyboard that does not have controller support. I wasn't even going to try it, but saw that Runic Games had an input profile for it. The left stick controls your character like it supporter controllers, but it's all using the mouse. The touchpads work for precise targeting. And I'm able to use all 10 skill buttons using modifier keys and adding the back buttons. Plus I was able to easily adapt this to Diablo 3, a non-steam game without controller support.

    If you want to be limited to games designed with controllers in mind, go for one of the alternatives. But if you want to be able to play mouse and keyboard games, there's nothing that competes with the Steam Deck.

  • The era of cheap streaming is officially over

    Jump

  • Music services are almost a necessity to me because of the amount of music I listen to, but it's also a different animal. They all have mostly the same library, so you won't typically be subscribing to more than one.

    The problem with streaming video services is that most people watch a couple genres, and there's content in every genre on every streaming platform. I watch a lot of scifi, for example. So I would need to subscribe to Apple TV for Silo and Foundation, Paramount+ for Star Trek, etc...

  • Because I'm not a six sigma whatever belt and all those things you listed are things that are just common sense.

  • Firefox to become first mobile browser to support desktop extensions later this year

    Jump

  • I do find it funny when people talk about how few extensions are supported, when it has the best extension support of any mobile browser.

  • Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why?

    Jump

  • It sounds like you haven't used a user friendly Linux distro in the last decade. Mint and Ubuntu will install any proprietary driver you need, but even beyond that most WiFi cards are supported out of the box by the Linux kernel now.

  • Anon uses arch btw

    Jump

  • You could replace Windows with Ubuntu/Mint/Debian/openSUSE/Fedora for even better effect.

  • Your choice of browser matters — Google's Web DRM and the open internet

  • I remember WaterFox but this is getting ridiculous.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

    Jump

  • GTFO with your Hawaiian pizza propaganda.

  • 80% of bosses say they regret earlier return-to-office plans: ‘A lot of executives have egg on their faces’

    Jump

  • No, they knew exactly what employees wanted. They just didn't expect them to actually leave over it.
