  1. I was waiting for Linus to mention the CDI from the moment I saw the video Shame he did not talk about the early age of ""PONG"" clone consoles Like the DICK SMITH X-1160
  2. LTT distro.... Feature suggestion: When moving a app/icon it randomly drops to the bottom of the screen
  3. They must have forgotten about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrowserChoice.eu This is also a clear violation of the DSA regulations, so they WILL get fined for it and forced to revert the changes.
  4. Indeed. maybe not software updates, but security updates still come in, Fun fact, I still have a Galaxy Xcover [1st model] that I use for a alarm. its battery last roughly a month [after I ROOTED it, and removed most junk apps that I don't need]
  5. I am a Zenfone 8 user myself, and when I try to look for the unlocker, I can only find threads of users asking where the bootloader went. I might unlock the bootloader later if there are no more security patches. [Though at that time, the phone might be old enough to warrant a replacement]
  6. I have a powercolor red devil RX7900XT. Not sure if that series also has issues, If so I haven't seen them myself, Mosly because I underclocked my GPU instead of overclocked. This saved roughly 200W in total PC power-consumption, and I barely took a hit of 5% in performance. [note PC build in signature is outdated]
  7. Shame linus didn't go to Keiths store with a obvious fake mustache.
  8. I hope they make a version with 12+ Sata M.2 slots. then you can have tons of storage.
  9. Would love to see more like this as well. where they build and test weird and slightly unknown projects like this. With Aliexpress their Anniversary sale going on, getting most parts now will give you a even better bargain.
  10. I have been looking for a product like DEEJ for years now, will 100% make my own. SO thank you for finding it Jordan.
  11. Is it just me or does apple love getting fined by the EU for breaking DSA regulations. This is a clear "F-U" where they try to squeeze as much power as they can, hoping the EU won't notice, and let them have their way.
  12. I think this is to force providers to upgrade their network, especially in area's where they only give dial-up internet
  13. If only this case was sold in the EU. I would have gotten one myself. it has about everything I want in a case and slightly more.
  14. Sadly many bad actors will also rebrand it and include malware into the sourcecode. then promote it as a functional emulator that is just as good as YUZU. Since it works. you won't notice the malware running in the background. Especially when it is programmed to give a generic error, making you restart/close it, but you won't notice the hidden program running in the background that has a identical process-ID to the emulator, You will only notice it if you check taskmanager, and know what to look for.
  15. One of the downsides of the Chuwi herobox. is that it can't be powered by USB-C. which is possible with the UN100C
  16. At MAX 300$ even something like a minisforum UN100L https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-un100l-1 Which cost 180$ is a much billion times of a better deal than that E-waste PC. {I have the UN100C, which is near identical in specs} and it is quite decent for windows/basic office usage/light gaming. Though with a TDP of at most 15W under normal use, and max 9W when underclocked, its perfect for a home-assistant server. Please note for some strange reason the UN100C is discontinued. not sure what the reason is. Especially with it being smaller and taking up less space than the Un100L. it would be a better bang for the buck system.
  17. Not forgetting they often want you to buy at least 1000+ pieces, and get a expensive service contract as well. essentially locking out the end-user from ever getting these drives NEW. Most of these cardridges are also made to be written once or twice, then put in a climate controlled storage room, only accessed when you need the data. which then it is faster to copy everything than to look for that 1 specific 1GB image you created XXX years ago.
  18. This is yet another reason why you shouldn't use cloudbased devices for smarthome/home security
  19. You mean trash like High-guardian spice. Which is one of their most hated "Crunchyroll originals". hated from the moment it was announced, because its not anime, and not what their customerbase wants. The show that was soo bad it had to resort to stealing STOCK-photo's just to meet the "budget". https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2239829-high-guardian-spice
  20. And here I expected a powerbutton like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005937149992.html? That way you still have some front-IO on your desk for quick and easy access when you need a flashdrive/usb-stick
  21. Anyone else wondering which employee "steals" this from the office, which is revealed in their 5000$ AMD tech upgrade
  22. UPDATE new response from Haier, https://github.com/Andre0512/hon/issues/147#issuecomment-1902075829
  23. One benefit with smart-plugs when using it with 3D printers, is that when you put a Camera on the printer you can remote shut-down the printer in case it goes wrong, and it starts printing in the air/creating a GLOPTOP.
  24. True, I will NOT get any Haier products in the upcoming years, as long as they do not use a standard like zigbee, threads, or matter. When it comes to 3rd party support by chinese companies, even a company like Tuya is more open with addons like "local tuya" "YES you do need to update/request a renewal roughly every 6 months for your dev-account/project, if you use tuya products, but its less of a headache than having to use 5+ apps, with a shitty halfbaked official plugin" Not forgetting most tuya products can be flashed by either Tasmota, Openbeken or ESPHome.
  25. Summary Appliances giant Haier issued a takedown notice to a software developer for creating Home Assistant integration plugins for the company's home appliances and releasing them on GitHub. Quotes My thoughts This is nothing but a scummy move from a company that doesn't like local integrations for devices, and wants users to pay a large monthly fee, to use their devices they legally bought and own. They want FULL control, and want to milk as much data from their consumers as they can. not forgetting that if you offend them in any way they can remote shut down your devices you legally own There is a reason why open standards like Matter, threads or Zigbee should exist, and manufacturers are forced to use them. its to prevent hundreds of walled garden apps for each smarthome device. Like with homeassistant you have 1 app for all your devices, not 100 because the manufacturer couldn't be bothered to combine it into one app. and that it does not force a always online DRM cloud subscription to use your device trough your smartphone.
