For me the iPhone 6s is the perfect size phone.

If you compare the newer iPhone physical size with the 6s it’s about the same. Which I think is best.

Now that phones abandoned the idea of a stable aspect ratio screen size has become irrelevant to me. So I look at the phones dimension. And there is still small phones on the market, they just try their best to pretend to be bigger than they are.

That said I do wish the Mini IPhones lived long enough to get USB C. Was the perfect size for it to be one handed.

I like heroic a lot and this was the last big hurdle for me. Fingers crossed when you press home on the steam deck UI the heroic UI disables input too.

The game was a physics sim designed and a game engine as a platformer. It’s wasn’t easy to run even on PS3.

I don’t think RCPS3 has a proper name. But yeah, LBP has been this games name for me for so long that I don’t think I’ve called it anything else.

LittleBigPlanet, though I can’t think of other games with the acronyms with LBP is in for PS3.

If I am right I don’t think Pebble watches has Bluetooth LE, it has the ability to broadcast itself but once connected uses Bluetooth. The OS doesn’t expose LE so I don’t think getting the signal strength is possible

Yes Pebble OS is now open source, however I think adding RSSI might only work on newer devices, since classic pebbles are just Bluetooth and Bluetooth le. Though they may have Bluetooth le as a part of pairing?

Still a fun experiment and a good way to see why Bluetooth headphones actually are as reliable as they are.

The issue is:

1. PebbleKit JS - doesn’t have access to the sound or vibration motor on iOS. Since Apple blocks that functionality unless it’s directly interacted with via the user

2. PebbleKit iOS - Might pull it off but you’ll need a separate app on the App Store, however the Pebble watches are just Bluetooth so no guarantee that you’ll get a reading.

3. iOS Apps are $100/year to keep up, and for that functionality… not worth it.

There are already apps which do this on Android and works without issue.

I blame the lack of a headphone jack.

Done get me wrong, boom boxes were a thing in the 80’s and 90’s, and there is the modern day equivalent of terrible Bluetooth speakers.

But without a convenient $5 tool to quiet your device it’s obvious most people will resort in speaker phones if they want to quickly hear something.

Scott Pilgrim EX being native isn’t surprising. Tributes previous games are also Linux native.

None the less I am happy to see it.

I grew up in the era of. PCs take forever to boot and sleep is good enough that when I turn it back on it’s still alive.

Laptop Sleep, desktop depends on when I use it last.

I feel these companies are forgetting the lessons from the mid 2000’s. When you remove the hardware features from your devices, which only the most advanced users use. It doesn’t mean you’ve locked it down, but instead invited these users to find alternative ways to bypass your security.

PS3 had Linux support. PS3 removed Linux supper. PS3 was cracked wide open.

Xbox One has a Dev mode, devs who wanted to play emulators on their Xboxes could. So the hardware was left be.

I don’t care for the medium, I just want to watch my shows. In Canada we get basically the same shows as the US, but many are not available for streaming. So I want to watch Danny Phantom for example, I can’t. It’s not on any channel not streaming services.

And the same goes for dozens of other shows ranging from obscure like Martin Mystery to the ultra popular like The Fairly Odd Parents.

Heck even Disney doesn’t have everything.

DVD does and it cost less than most of these services.

Wanna learn how to tie your shoes? It’s a very easy thing to do Just sit on down and I’ll give you the scoop What’s that? It’s called a “loop de loop”

I have the older 7640u Framework 13.

As a coders laptop it’s fantastic. Keyboard is excellent and it’s modular port design makes it’s limited 4 port extremely versatile for your needs. Plus the 2880x1440 display is perfect for text.

As a gaming laptop. Hummm. It can play games, but the display kills performance in games. The iGPU can’t handle much more than 720p for newer games. Without using a dedicated GPU I don’t know if any other laptop can do a better job and I was able to play most indi games at a solid frame rate. However a steam deck is a better way to play games.

In terms of battery life. Left in a bag there will be some juice left the next day. With light office work I was able to get 4-6 hours on it, with 2-4 if I was gaming and the fans were cranking.

I have a bulldozer CPU, though 6300 fix I think. It was dog slow and barely performed even with my GTX 760. I got a significant performance jump when I got the Ryzen 5 1600.

If you have a AM4 platform then it’s worth the upgrade. There isn’t much to pull from AM3. And heck for the price you are better off getting another steam deck and a USB C dock and use it as a Desktop.

The processor in the Steam Deck in insane and the best performing chip I’ve used. Even my AMD powered Framework 13 is slow compared to it.

I use it since the login requirements are insane for vanilla Minecraft.

I think if there was a Linux step, it would be to remove proprietary drivers if installed then enable nouveau. If there are features missing on your new card, move back to the proprietary.

For those who say “why install proprietary”, say hello to the annoying world of OpenCL.

DVD was to make a physical media of streaming content for a relative who doesn’t use technology but wanted to watch it. This would’ve been about 5 years ago ish since we don’t see them much anymore.

CD was about 3 years ago for my car since its head unit didn’t have car play. We’ve since purchased an iPod 7th gen to do the job.

I just got a 256GB steam deck. It’s do able. But you’ll want a PC nearby with your games installed. Then it’ll just download it from your PC for lightning fast installs.
