I want several of these.
I think it’s the same reason games offer a cash shop for things you can get in-game. Sure they’re making billions but why not billions plus ad revenue? I don’t agree with the practice but the answer always comes back to money.
I too was in middle school when Columbine happened. The next year we weren’t allowed to wear trench coats… In Phoenix…
Sam didn’t spring for the ad-free tier and now has to have his time wasted?
I hopped between distros for a long time. Before writing Linux off I suggest giving MX-Linux a shot. I’ve been loving it. It’s super solid. My only issue with it is that I can’t seem to get the right power settings set for closing my laptop but it’s probably something I’m doing wrong.
I like the cut of your jib, Tex.
How would you prepare for telecom? I’ve got a background in IT and have been trying to switch to Software Engineering by learning React and TypeScript. Would the skills compare at all?
I played briefly at launch and stopped until about 2 months ago and picked it up again. I had a ton of fun. They fixed (almost) all of my gripes.
I’ve never used an Android that felt like it was out of beta testing yet and they stopped making Windows phones and BlackBerrys (BlackBerries?). I only used my phone for texting and email and my significant other talked me into an expensive-ass iPhone 8 and I’ve just kinda kept going with them. I have an 8 and a 12 and I plan on using the 12 until it falls apart and then go back to the 8 until that one dies too. If e-ink phones aren’t a thing by that time I’ll get a dumb phone and separate device for Authenticator passcodes.
As for why - I don’t need the latest and greatest features on my phone. It may be an old way of thinking but I’d rather use a computer and dumb phone over a smart phone on its own.
Got the deck dock on the living room TV and use it to both chill-game and have the kids Skype with grandma and grandpa.
I did the same recently and can’t recommend them more. They’re wonderful. I can’t imagine a world without one and I’m shocked that they didn’t become the staple in every household decades ago. Big TP really did a number on my country.
VPN is connected. I have gotten bursts of up to 180kbps downloads that slowly deteriorate to nothing. Currently sitting at 0 upload, 0 download. Collecting bonus points for seeding I guess? But I have no idea what the issue is. I tried switching to a random port and I saw some activity for a couple seconds, but it quickly went to 0 again. I’m so tilted.
Sorry, I’m on mobile and I’m not sure if the commenter removed their post so my comment lost context but I can’t see their comment in my post on mobile for some reason.
While the file is downloading I do not see any uploading happening either. I was messing around trying to set up a vpn docker container last night and couldn’t get everything playing nicely but I’m not even seeing any downloading going on anymore either.
Docker ports are 1:1 mapped. 63430:63430. I’ve mapped all the ports 1:1, added them to the firewall for tcp and udp on the device AND port forwarded them through the modem.
Separately, I’m also getting 0 upload on other devices that aren’t docker containers. Seems like my ISP is just blocking all upload traffic. I see peers connect and disconnect.
I shouldn’t be, I own a single family home. I’ll research this further though.
Yeah, I’m definitely not behind a CGNAT.
I can, yes.
Excellent questions.
I do not download and upload at the same time.
The server is exclusively wired so I can’t try it on a hotspot but I can try connecting my laptop to a hotspot and check connections between them. I don’t have friends or family or a friendly network I can try anywhere nearby, unfortunately.
I can try creating a torrent sometime soon but I need to take a break. I’m starting to see the terminal when I close my eyes.
I did some tweaking that I found online somewhere for host/client settings and since then, no not really. I’ve made sure that the host is wired in and I’m working on getting the deck dock wired in too but my house is old and not easily cat5-able. It doesn’t look GREAT most of the time but it’s pretty passable. I know you didn’t ask about undocked but with the smaller screen it definitely clears some stuff up and looks a little nicer.
Quick preface, this isn’t meant to be disrespectful or confrontational, I’m genuinely curious, but what are you playing while docked? I bought the dock and have only a tiny bit of buyer’s remorse because I feel like anything put up on the big screen is so low quality that it’s not even worth it and just either stream it from my PC to Deck or play on the PC directly. I admit I may be doing something wrong, I don’t have the time to fiddle with it to optimize.
My parents are close to 65 and completely out of touch. If you turn 65 during your next term you should be ineligible.
