  • Worst keyboard layouts?

    Jump

  • AZERTY is awful and anyone who uses it is a psychopath or even worse, french (québécois are fine though).

    But jokes aside, I regularly switch between typing in French, English, and Spanish (so basically using all the accents and special characters including ñ) and even with all of it's faults, QWERTY with international layout works perfectly for me:

    • all accents are independent so you can capitalize upper and lower case and any kind of letter
    • cedilla is basically just a c with an accent and that's exactly how you type it (in Linux you might have to use a special key unless you actually mean "ć"), same for ñ
    • English apostrophe doubles as the accent key, if you want an apostrophe just press space after hitting the apostrophe key

  • Why is Green and Red the colors of Christmas?

    Jump

  • Our association between Christmas and those colors comes in part from:

    • old traditions
    • CocaCola marketing

    Basically, those colors have always been associated with this time of year and festivities of similar nature ever since ancient civilizations. And in modern times, thanks to the fizzy drink marketing campaign and the influence of the US on the rest of the world, the red and green image of Santa Claus and other decorations they became the default colors for Christmas worldwide.

    Here's an article about it. The Wikipedia page also has more info and sources on symbols of the holiday :)

  • There's a total of 3 LED on mine, I'm probably seeing an extra one cause I don't have an enclosure on it. I checked the manual and the only one that's on is the "standby" LED that's supposed to show that there's power going through the board.

    The disk usage and normal "power on/off" LED are off. And I haven't managed to get them to do anything so far.

  • Yeah I think my next attempt is gonna be to get a keyboard connected and mess around. But wouldn't the computer LED turn on too even if it just boots to bios? Or does the power on LED typically only turn on when the OS is properly rubbing?

  • I haven't tried to check for display yet, I don't have any mini HDMI cables on hand. I'll try to get it connected to a display.

    I was hoping to do the whole setup process "headless" but I guess I'll find a cable and keyboard.

  • Looking for suggestions on a phone that will last

    Jump

  • After checking out some reviews on this one in particular I think it's a pretty nice value. Good to know there's still affordable phones out there. I do have some extra budget lying around so I think I'll look into something a bit fancier this time.

  • That's not a bad strategy lol. However from my experience with buying tech from China (a paper screen tablet for handwritten note taking and stuff) is somewhat troublesome and import taxes and other shipping costs, do add a non negligible amount to the final cost.

    I don't see myself doing this anytime soon, but maybe it will give someone else an idea, thanks :)

    Jump

  • I remember a while ago I looked into this kind of phone and it did look pretty attractive to me. I might look for some more info on their performance thought.

    Thanks for the suggestion :)

  • That's great to know! Thanks

  • That's true about "fun", it's very subjective but I'd say that bloat in my case strictly refers to software and not extra hardware, something like the difference between a ringtone store app and a couple of extra LEDs on the back.

    On another note, I've seen a few reviews mentioning Pixels developing problems over time but nothing major AFAIK. Do you still use your Pixel? If not, what made you change it?

  • Holiday Giveaway - Steam Codes! - Giveaway Ended

    Jump

  • Heyyy, happy holidays! I'm interested in Elden Ring :)

    I don't have many hopeful stories this time around, but I hope next year will be a good one in spite of it all.

    Good luck everyone!

  • That looks interesting, I've got one question though, how noisy would you say that machine is? Is it louder than a small box fan on a hot summer day, or more like a blender in the next room?

  • Have you ever tried running Jellyfin on an LE Potato? Also how's the community and overall documentation on them? I've heard it's lacking in the community aspect, but if there's enough documentation I think I could pull it off.

  • I didn't know SD cards would be so bad, I'll definitely get an external drive then.

    The orange seems like a good option too, sure it's a bit pricier, but I could make it work if its worth it. And also, I'm not planning on having more than one concurrent user (just me on one device at a time) I don't need to scale it, so I guess I'll be fine with an orange or even a bit less?

    Now that you mention it, I'd rather not start an impromptu BBQ so maybe laptops are not my first option, unless I can somehow limit the battery charge or completely bypass the battery. I'll do some more research on that. As far as electricity goes, its very cheap where I am so I don't think the less efficient mini PCs would hurt.

    Thanks for the advice :)

  • Oh nice for the heads up, I'll definitely keep an eye out for transcoding capabilities. I don't understand transcoding that well yet, so I know what I'll be reading up on next.
