https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil is a good option for de-bloating and disabling a lot of the crap. Includes a nice installer similar to Ninite that uses chocolatey or winget. Or just nuke it and throw Windows 10 on it. You can use it unregistered with a few caveats.

Hey now. Some of us may get sick or die, but at least we’ll have an overpriced yet somehow super cheaply made satellite security system operated by a ketamine addict.

Wait…

“Welcome to Destruction Junction!”

This almost feels like a Mitch Hedberg joke.

Yes. Yes they are. It’s the same talking points just in a handheld form factor this time. You can get access to a library spanning decades, you can tinker if you want to but don’t have to, online multiplayer is free for most games, etc. I was considering picking up a Steam Deck at one point just to have a handheld linux machine that I could game on if I wanted to. Same reason I have a PC instead of an Xbox or PlayStation.

Consoles will always have their place, too. Particularly Nintendo with their exclusive games. And I totally get why some people might prefer a console for the relative ease of use and the plug and play nature of things. I still get frustrated with some things on PC and I’ve been gaming on one for over 20 years at this point. But PC is still a competitor to traditional consoles and the platform as a whole, not necessarily one handheld, are going to competition for the Switch 2.

Even Spock would lose it at that dog when it laughs at you for missing.

I had an iPod Touch for years. It wasn’t really a smart ‘phone’ though. My first real smartphone was a Nokia Lumia 640 with Windows Phone 8 (later Windows Phone 10). My family got four of them for $25 a piece on AT&T Go and I unlocked them all. I HATED Windows 8 on desktop, but I still appreciate how different Windows Phone was from the boring iOS and Android designs.

Any indication on whether this has or will have XNA Framework support for XBLA Indie titles?

More likely that “Burnsing” is an involuntary evil reflex.

If you’re using the flatpak version of heroic, try installing mangohud flatpak 23.08. There’s a github issue on heroic that the latest version wasn’t working and that seems to be the work around.

“When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).”

Also a good idea to keep an eye on places like Bluesky, Lemmy, Pixelfed and (I know, but larger user base still) Reddit for civilian footage. Democracy dies in silence and the administration knows that. We can’t necessarily rely on traditional media to be allowed to cover this stuff. We need to rely on each other in whatever side channels we can communicate freely on.

Intel took their stapler.

Focussing… Focussing…

The fact that Windows still doesn’t have a shortcut to move windows between Virtual Desktops is mind boggling to me. I had to download an AHK script just to replicate basic features included in KDE, Gnome and probably most of the tiling WMs.

The Incredibles

Huzzah!

And all it takes is an… Ice cream sandwich with a caramel drizzle?
