  • Fairphone teaser about upcoming launch event on August 30, 2023

  • If they add wireless charging I'm sold. I'm willing to give up a lot of other stuff but I really want an SD card slot and wireless charging.

  • I find this mildly infuriating, so I think it fits here.

  • TIL that the album "Songs for the Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age has a hidden track before Track #1

  • What games have you played in the last 365 days that stand out to you as the most memorable experiences?

    Jump

  • I failed a handful of times before I made it through. It's really about keeping am eye on your numbers in the top bar. If any of them aren't looking right pause the game and find out why.

    Just a heads up there are some bugs still and you'll need to hit some things with a hammer.

  • I can't hype The Outer Wilds enough. It's such a fun exploration game that evolves into a big mystery.

    I also just finished Ixion for the second time. It's a city builder but with stress. I enjoyed it a lot because it scratched my particular brain itch, but I can see it not being for everyone though. IXION soundtrack is a banger though.

  • I finally got fed up with Windows 11 when an update broke itself during an update. Apparently it was a pretty widespread issue. Defender got disabled because the update renamed several files.

    I moved to PopOS and have been happy ever since. I couldn't believe that almost everything on my Lenovo Flex 5 just worked, including the touchscreen, pen, and 360 degree hinge. The only thing that doesn't work is the finger print sensor apparently due to lack of available drivers.

    I really like how modern PopOS feels.

  • Thanks. It's just weird. I have tons of old friends on Steam that have been offline for years.... I have no idea what happened to them or what's going on in their lives... But this one guy I know for sure and it just hits hard. Part of me wishes I didn't know.

  • Not to be morbid, but I found out a friend/former co-worker of mine passed away via Steam. He had been offline for a super long time and one day I saw his account pop up as in game. I decided to say hi, only to find out it was his son. The son told me that my friend has passed about a year prior and he had taken over his father's account.

    It was such a shock I had to sit and contemplate it for a while. I still don't quite believe it to this day.

  • What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

    Jump

  • So back in the day you could hold home to pull up Google assistant and tell it to translate whatever was on your screen. No matter what app, browser, etc it just worked. I have no idea why they ever got rid of it. Now with the modern version of tap to translate text has to be highlight-able in order to be translated, which is a bone headed decision. It's like they never use the stuff they make.

  • Microsoft to force migrate Windows 11 Mail & Calendar app to Outlook PWA

    Jump

  • And I decided to force my laptop to migrate to PopOS and I haven't looked back.

  • Are there any sites similar to what Massdrop used to be?

    Jump

  • They do but it's very limited in their "interests." They used to have a much more broad selection of hobbies.

  • I got so much stuff from Massdrop!Belts, speakers, knives, my first ultrawide monitor, backpacks, outdoor gear.I found brands and stuff I really like from there and it was just a great resource.

  • Sorry it took me so long.

  • I think you're right, I didn't notice it initially. Maybe I can find or make a better video.

  • I can't speak to the design. I've just worked with this type of knife for years and I thought it was a fairly standard design.

    I'm not advocating for one design over another, I'm just trying to spread awareness.

  • This is true, everyone has an option, however education is helpful. The more people that understand how things work, the less likely they are to hurt themselves if they encounter it.

  • Lemmy, what are your "missed flight" stories?

    Jump

  • So you would think so, but no. I asked about a gate change and they said "The left from this gate, on time."

  • Lemmy, what are your "missed flight" stories?

    Jump

  • Somehow I missed a flight while I was at the gate. Mind you it was a small plane. I still don't understand it to this day. I was sitting at the gate waiting for them to announce boarding or watch the sign change. Nothing the whole time I was there.

    Finally about 20 minutes after we were supposed to leave I get up and ask the desk staff and they tell me the plane left.

    I didn't understand how this had happened and apparently neither did they. I didn't see anyone board the plane, there were no announcements or notifications.
