I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.

It was already discovered that that was a big and game devs need to fix it manually for now.

Isn’t the web version a full client that works without a phone nearby nowadays?

Looks great, but I get a lot of SSL errors without real tine downloading and one every 5 or so songs with it.

It’ll take a week or two to download 3000 songs, but running it periodically after that should be fine.

This isn’t about influencers, it’s about basic privacy rights being taken away.

Now there’s grayjay as well, which is a universal media streaming client that respects your privacy.

What a weird way to say “We don’t like french people”

Does it change the screen’s contrast depending on what’s being displayed? Because my work laptop does that. If there’s a white window on screen, contrast is great. But if I minimize that and just have something dark on screen, it slowly reduces the contrast until I can barely read anything.

For linux clients maybe, but definitely not for windows clients. Microsoft practically killed Virtualbox, so we have to use Hyper-V at work now. And unlike virtualbox, it doesn’t let me install my keyboard layout in the VM via MSKLC, which is literally made by microsoft. I had to convert my virtualbox VM where it was installed already and guess what, it works perfectly now.

I also have to disable the keyboard manager in powertoys, another microsoft product, whenever I use the VM because capslock gets stuck on inside the VM if I don’t. That also happens on VMs without my keyboard layout, so it’s a separate issue.

The VM also feels much slower and glitchier than the virtualbox one I used on an older computer.

You literally need a third party application to install an APK. At that point you might as well get an android emulator instead of using this spyware.

There is nothing about windows 11 that’s better than on windows 10. Why would anyone switch voluntarily?

Windows 10 at least had better automatic driver installation, touchscreen and multi-monitor support compared to 7, but came with a shitload of ads built right into it. Windows 11 has even more ads, but what does it give you?

What a shame, I wish they had some spare money to pour into elite. It’s a great game that deserves some love.

No idea how to do this properly, but it’s definitely possible. Maybe a USB to IDE adapter makes more sense than going through SATA as it can just expose the floppy drive as a USB stick.

But then again CD drives have been around for ages as well and work properly on linux, so do your research.

The steps will probably look like this:

• Autodetect when a floppy is inserted
• mount it (possibly combined with the first step)
• automatically run a script after mounting
• writing the script, which will read the contents of the drive and control your player (chatGPT should be able to do that for you with a bit of trial&error)

There are people who make backups and people who will.

It’s the same thing with this: Even if it goes nicely most of the time, it’ll eventually screw up everything and you’ll be spending at least an hour figuring out what went wrong.

Sounds like there’s something wrong with your windows EFI partition in that case.

I don’t know how to fix that short of a reinstall. If you do reinstall, make sure to unplug (yes, that’s actually neccessary) all drives except the one you want to install windows on, otherwise the installer is almost guaranteed to fiddle around with them despite you not selecting them.

Because their algorithm is pretty damn good at recommending relevant stuff. For example, titanfall 2 got revived and I found a lot of small youtubers (<20k subs) making some incredibly good content through it. The secret is to click “not interested” on all the clickbait crap often enough and at some point it’ll learn.

Though I do use on an android TV and block out crap like shorts altogether because google’s youtube app is unusable.

The issue is that grub, the bootloader, doesn’t know about windows and can’t boot it. You can go into BIOS and change the boot order to boot windows without figuring this out as a stopgap.

I had to create /etc/default/grub as well on arch, so do that and rerun grub-mkconfig.

As usual, the arch wiki has a great but short guide on that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Detecting_other_operating_systems Read the entire article to get an idea of how to work with grub, then follow the windows section exactly.

given that the lawmakers who enact crap like that are usually tech-illiterate, we at least have high chances of loopholes.

At this point, I instinctively disagree with anyone who tries to “protect the children” or “fight terrorism”. I tried challenging that prejudice many times, but never had any success.

I don’t have any hope for any of this improving.

The EU is currently working on legislation to search through all chat messages sent by everyone ever, so the only way to keep any privacy is to take it into your own hands.

They shouldn’t be required to keep selling it, but they should be required to strip it of any DRM when they do stop selling it.

That way everyone wins. They can get out of the market at minimal effort and players can still enjoy their games.
