  • Amazon announces first Kindle ever with color screen, retailing for $279

  • Giving you a heads up as a Onyx Boox Nova 3 owner. These devices are poorly supported. You'd get maybe a year of "updates", meaning the bundled apps are updated. But after that you are on your own.

    It's a brilliant e-reader don't get me wrong, and I'll take it over a Kobo or a Kindle any day. But go in assuming that you'd want to keep it offline.

  • For me, Windows 11 mandatory account, and Internet on setup. Yes there are bypasses, yes I could upgrade from 10. But where I'm from, having the internet isn't always a given.

    So imagine dropping $500-$1000 on a new laptop booting it up for the first time, and learning that its now a brick since Windows refuses to let you use it since you have no internet. No Pro license can unbork you from this.

    Even MacOS isn't that dumb (for now).

    The account thing is a personal beef I have with windows. I.e. my PC my account, why does it need to be online, I have no reason for it.

    So my plan was to migrate to FOSS or proper cross platform software for work, see if Linux works, and if it doesn't move to MacOS. So far Linux Mint has been stable.

  • There is cad plugins for blender. That said try FreeCAD again with the next major release. From the looks of FreeCAD daily, it’s really improved

    Jump

  • I’ve personally switched over to FreeCAD, because of Autodesk signin policy (not this one, fusion kept signing me out forcing me to keep having to log back in). I am excitingly waiting for the next major FreeCAD release since the daily builds are looking extremely promising.

  • What were your (now retro, but not at the time) gaming wow moments?

    Jump

  • Booting up Mario Kart DS and seeing 3D on a portable game system. For years it was 2d portables, 3D consoles. But now both had 3D. My mind would have exploded if I ever saw the steam deck or switch.

  • The Best way to switch to Linux is to NOT

    Jump

  • This is how switched, though I’d recommend properly platform agnostic software (Windows, Mac, and Linux support) since if you don’t find Linux proper works for your workflow, you could switch to a Mac.

    Another thing which helped me was switching my Laptop first before my Desktop since if I had problems (which I did) I could loose my laptop and not worry about data loss.

    As of now, I am 2 year with Linux on my laptop and 6 months on my desktop with no noticeable difference between my Windows experience and Linux.

  • Recommendations for games to listen to audiobooks to?

    Jump

  • PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate, while I love the games music, it’s not necessary since it’s a tower defence game.

  • What's a perfect trilogy, Video Game, Movies, books, whatever.

  • Spyro 1-3. First game set the mood. Second game refined the formula, last game had fun with it. Still play it to this day.

  • Forget star signs, what key do you press to wake up your computer from sleep?

    Jump

  • Because years ago I made my PC password with Capslock on since a warning would show.

    So genius 13 year old me said, "hey even if someone knew my password, they'd never know how it was inputted."

    So my actual wake key is capslock.

    Only my PC uses this old password method now, everything else is passphrase+uniquekey

    Like google+lemmyworld

  • Depends the OS.

    Windows its Space

    On Linux shift since space will fill in the password field with spaces

  • Orchestral my pick is Journey, with Uncharted as a close second

  • This ^

    Use to sell on eBay for years, and remember a time when we shipped a Scuzzy drive to Australia only to find ourselves in eBay court. Thankfully we kept receipts and won. But as a seller you need to be extremely cautious with what you list.

    I don't like eBay but for other reasons like 3d printed model resellers who rip models and pictures from thingiverse and sells it like its theres. Even if the model is under a noncommercial license.
