When I look back at pictures of my kids when they were newborn, they look like little rats. Still were genuinely cute at the time. They just don’t photograph well.
I don’t know about iPods specifically, but Bluetooth transmitters (that connect to 3.5mm audio jack) are cheap.
Or if you’re willing, you could surgically mod your iPod.
I’ll still play with this when I go to pick up my kid from nursery.
We are the breakers of the wind.
Big up Chris Rock for keeping composure and reacting well.
So if he loses control of his car and is heading at a tree, he can shoot the tree in self defense.
Everyone can draw that. The money is in drawing really well.
You’re in the picture. You are seen.
It’s a strength check. It takes the might of Thor to squeeze the plug enough, in a tight space, at an odd angle, behind the computer.
For anyone who might find this useful:
Kodi is great for normalising volume and I try to use Kodi for Plex and YouTube on the TV:
Try adjusting the Volume to about -20 dB and the Volume Amplification to +30 dB. The latter will compress the audio as it increases volume to avoid peaks, and will effectively “flatten” the volume contour a bit. Adjust the values to your taste.
The other thing that has really helped is having a good Bluetooth speaker. If the kids are playing and being noisy in the room while I’m trying to watch TV, then sound is much clearer if the speaker is right next to me rather than trying to turn up the volume to drown out other noises.
Have a look through this list. There are so many great games that hold up really well today.
PSP has such a great games library and emulates so well on phones. I owned a PSP back in the day and played it constantly, but still I feel like I’m getting so much out of the games I didn’t play back then.
Try China Town Wars. It’s disappointing that top down games like that don’t get made more often.
Agree with all that. “The year of Linux” will be built up to incrementally; and the fact that gaming is so good on Linux pushes that a long way.
The Steam Deck is what pushed me to change to full-time PC Linux myself. Having hardware with pre-installed Linux that works flawlessly has been great.
Mine was a pre-release preorder as well.
I wouldn’t upgrade it now. Knowing me, I’ll probably end up waiting till 2027 and buy a secondhand device from 2026.
I mostly play indie 2D games, so games I want still work fine. The revised Deck has a bunch of improvements I would have liked (OLED, WiFi 6, etc). If there are enough improvements in usability (screen, WiFi, size, battery, hardware power), then I’ll upgrade and give the old device to my kids (who currently use it for more than 75% of the time anyway).
I hope so too, but I don’t think a shift that big is coming any time soon.
Linux users are still a tiny proportion of the online player base. Steam Deck sales are negligible compared to Switch or console sales.
I hope it happens eventually,but I think it’s going to take much longer for AAA gaming corps to take Linux seriously.
Hyped about the devices we’re going to see over the next year or so. Should be just in time to replace my first release Steam Deck as a noticeable upgrade.
This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.
@Anyone: please let me know if I’m wrong about these and if there’s a solution, but as far as I can see:
