    TempestCatto got a reaction from TopHatProductions115 in Helldivers 2 requires PSN account linking and creates a lot of backlash   
    We live in an age where you need an account for your "smart" toaster. There's no reason to need to link an account to play a game on a different platform. That'd be like having to link our LTT Forum accounts to Discord in order to use the LTT Discord server.
     
    I hate it here.

    I wonder if the Floatplane app is included in this metric xD
    (Actually wasn't it the Apple app store they had issues with? It's hard to remember which tech giant was more of an asshole this year.)

    She's doing you a favour, for the love of hygiene please don't share earbuds, that's disgusting.

    TempestCatto reacted to Electronics Wizardy in Best Linux Distros in 2024 for PCs with Slow HDD and low RAM (1-4GB RAM)?   
    I think the big issue with linux on low performance PCs is the browser. Light distros and DEs will run fine on a slow system, but when you try using a browser or other newer intensive programs its gonna get too slow to be usable for most uses. And with how cheap SSDs and a bit bettter systems are now, I think it doesn't make sense to do this for most of these old systems.

    None of the above:  Spend 15-20 bucks on a 250gb SATA SSD, replace the hdd, and get 1000x better performance.

    TempestCatto got a reaction from mr moose in Apple Opens up parts swapping between devices   
    Maybe I'm just used to really old tech, but this doesn't need to be a thing. I've replaced the screen, battery, and charge port assembly on my iPhone 6s. The parts were all from iFixit (not a sponsor) but I don't know if when I powered the phone back on it synced to said servers. I doubt it, nor is it necessary when you're replacing something like a battery. Apple just like using buzzwords to trick most people into thinking they need new muffler bearings every third oil change.

    TempestCatto reacted to manikyath in Apple Opens up parts swapping between devices   
    let me translate that for you:
     
    apple has stopped binding components to devices by serial number, using some false pretense about calibration profiles to avoid facing regulatory backlash for actively blocking any sort of repairability of their devices.
     
    you cannot get legitimate parts to repair apple devices without agreeing to horrendous agreements designed to put repair shops out of business.
     
    on top of that, the stolen phones argument is complete BS here. no one is stealing phones to harvest their battery and display.

    No thanks Apple. I'll stick to my 6s until it stops working on AT&T's network.
