The native Android client just can't do two way sync. Just put a text file or something into any folder (from the web or desktop). Now sync that folder to Android. Now edit it on the web/desktop, and look for the changes on Android (without actively telling it to "sync"). Then change the file on Android, these 2nd changes are never sent back to the server unless you explicitly tell it to "sync" again, manually. That's what I mean with 2 way sync.

There are quite a few files where you just need that to work to use them properly, like the database of a password manager as a prime example. Mine can talk to Nextcloud natively, so I don't need the client for that, but I was incredibly close to just switching to syncthing, if I didn't have active users that use the web office integration of Nextcloud.

Yeah I was just so confused when I found out that this isn't possible. Like, it's a file hosting and sync-ing application. That's like absolute basics. It isn't even "just" an open source project any more, there's a company behind this product now. I am the last person to be angry about an open source project, run by a volunteer or three, not being feature complete.

For what it's worth I think it works in the iOS version of the app (possibly always has?). But that's doesn't exactly help me either.

Nextcloud can't do two-way sync on Android. At all. That's like core functionality for the product IMHO and there's a feature request open I think. When I found that out, I basically spit out my coffee. It's fine if you just want to upload photos you take, that kinda works (but my god is it fragile).

Nextcloud is pretty good at quite a few things, including extensibility, but having some omissions in functionality that boggle the mind.

The core lesson should be "stop adding useless launchers" and even more so "stop making launchers the only way to change graphics settings". I'm glad the steam deck has rules in place that prevent games with a forced launcher to receive a "verified".

That's what I'm taking away from this anyway.

Literally never heard of it, which is probably the reason and kinda makes it a good call?

This also makes it easy to block Win 10 from upgrading to 11, just disable tpm in BIOS. From where I'm sitting, that's kinda convenient.

Much simpler and more direct than the other suggestions: LocalSend.

Also fully open source, local only, cross platform. Only works in the same network, obviously. That's the point.

What low voltage though? Unless it's 5V like USB (non-PD and non-QC), they should and need to be incompatible.

I have multiple dozens of headphones that have a normal headphone plug.

I can charge my phone while I listen to headphones without carrying multiple adapters.

We can maybe talk once we get more than 1 USB c connector on a phone. Maybe.

The point is to avoid left turns when merging onto or leaving from the smaller road above. Keeps the traffic on it flowing.

Just pop a non-glare screen protector on it, and it's fine. It's like a 5-10 $ problem.

People buying a twice as expensive model for a slightly different screen surface are just insane if you ask me. You can also install a proper 512gig SSD for like 60€ or so to get even on storage, also takes 5 minutes.

I have solved this by not buying a TV in the last two decades. I just own projectors. Larger screen, cheaper, no "smart" nonsense. Depending on mounting, essentially invisible when not in use and not a large black rectangle in your living room. Do recommend.

There are open source implementations of their launcher. Specifically there's "legendary", which is the thing that can download and launch games (this is a command line tool). Fortunately there's also "Heroic", which will use legendary in the background and give you a normal/usable user interface, desktop shortcuts and so on. Also doesn't work like spyware for epic on your computer, as their own store/launcher does.

While unfortunate, as a consumer it's the only recourse we have. We don't buy unity, we buy games. I won't buy a game that might just suddenly disappear from a store where I bought it, cause the developer can't or won't carry install fees that may or may not come at any point.

Yes, it hurts developers. Yes, he shouldn't have to suddenly have to pay that fee, but that is out of my control. But I'm still not taking the risk with my money. Unity clearly wants to do this, eventually they probably will.

Let's stop buying games with unity so they have no customers left that can slam with install fees after-the-fact. All we can do.

In Europe packs are required to have medical photos of their long term effects on the front (black lungs, people hooked up to machines while getting cancer treatment looking like death, that sort of thing). I kinda like that it's displayed prominently in that case. I have no clue if it works, but over all I think there are less smokers now in general, at least in my personal experience. So it might? Who knows...

You know you can turn off the music, right? Just play your own or none at all.

I think you overestimate how large the percentage of people leaving actually was. Wish it was, but don't think the number actually leaving made a still visible dent in their traffic graph. surely some toric specific knowledge did leave though.

didn't she resign cause she got caught, and likely was given no actual choice? Like "resign or be disbarred" or whatever the equivalent would be?

That's pretty slow for terabyte sized storage. And slow compared to the alternatives, too (600 MB/s or Gabs/s).

Spinning hard disks are faster than this, too. Have been for decade(s).

More like 4x, not 8x, but that's still very good, especially compared to normal/resistive heating.

Very short answer: Get any of the opentx/edgetx transmitters (like radiomaster, jumper). go for expressLRS as a protocol for transmitter/receivers (2.4g). The default firmware for flying yourself is betaflight (racing, acro, some camera drones like cinewhoops). If you want the drone to fly itself (gps missions) it's probably ardupilot, but check legality in your area first. I have no direct recommendation for video for you, sorry.

Because they don't want you to host things at your house, even though that's perfectly fine from a technical standpoint. They might want to sell you a "business" line for this, or they just don't want the traffic (since at least in my area, traffic is always included in any home Internet connection).

I watch a lot of twitch, probably more than I should honestly, and while the platform has problems it's really not that bad. I rarely ever have issues with 1080p streams, honestly basically never. They don't really ever buffer or stutter at all. So I don't know where that issue is coming from for you. I can watch multiple 1080p60 streams in parallel just fine. Typically watching multiple perspectives of the same game, none of them buffer.

As for the usability issues you mentioned to switch from live to vod, and back, that's kinda fair. I also don't think it's all that bad, but it is somewhat inconvenient. You don't need to type in '/videos' though as you seem to suggest, you can just click on the channel name, then the videos-tab is right there that contains all 'past broadcasts'.

What the platform does right is discoverability and user interaction. If I wanted to watch live gameplay of some game, and I went to YouTube, I wouldn't even know how to find streams of it at all. Also when following someone on twitch, I can be informed that he's going live (notification or even mail), wifi im pretty sure it's impossible on YouTube. User interaction is also just not there. I really wish other platforms were viable, cause competition eventually causes everyone to just do better, but nobody else seems to even tryn to take a share of their market...

Surprisingly, I don't think Terraria has been mentioned yet. Dedicated server can be downloaded for free and fun on Windows or Linux. I'm relatively sure that even spontaneous hosted games (from inside the game) are LAN accessible directly.

Another name, depending on the exact context, is "hairpin NAT". Should make googling with the specific router OP has easier.

Or you just runs the ps script provided by Microsoft. 1 line. No clue why they can't do that themselves for affected systems...

A Ryzen 5 is a pretty large span of processors, ranging from "old and mostly obsolete" to "modern and highly capable for gaming". Which one exactly would be helpful for others to help judge their own.

And this is why I refuse to buy devices that depend on "the cloud" to essentially work at all. Getting harder though...

People said that about Windows 7 EoL too, which was much more of a paradigm shift. Absolutely nothing happened. The dial for "market share" barely moved, let alone Linux increasing substantially.

Just not gonna happen. I really wish it would, but it's just wishful thinking. Most people either don't care (they just "use a PC") or wouldn't know how to switch anyway.

"Auto tab discard" is the name of the add-on I use that also uses this functionality. Highly configurable for automatic discarding (based on total count for example), and also allows manually discarding with a click (or shortcut, I think).

Isn't the Linux version just the windows version running with the usual compatibility layers (proton or whatever)? In other words, not an actual port?

I would put the price of an mp3 player as additional budget for a phone, like more storage (or pop in an SD card, if it has a slot). having another thing to log around (and keep charged, and so on) would be annoying to me. not being able to take calls with the same headphones I listen to music would be as well (as rare as that is these days). there are great apps for playing local music files, with high quality output if the source material permits it.

I miss mostly small details. example: an option only have the fingerprint reader activate if the power button is pressed (when screen is off). why? cause the fingerprint sensor is the power button, and it's the place I happen to hold the phone at when putting it IN my pocket, often unlocking it. it also keeps vibrating with 'negative detection' haptic feedback when just handling the phone, and any part of the hand touches the sensor.

there are quite a few options like this missing that area common on other phones.

do you do this regularly? and if so, why?

don't get me wrong, plenty of things need troubleshooting in Windows, too. but a one time upgrade taking a bit too long isn't exactly a persistent problem.

The coolers work well, but at the cost of noise. under any gaming load they are exceedingly noticeable. The classic use case for this form factor is often servers, where noise doesn't matter. you also see these on more professional cards, but their whole power budget is often under 100W, so remotely the same category.

All SSD and NVMe are also "just flash", and reach 5GB/s and more, often limited by the available interface bandwidth until very recently.

Totally not needed either. Just have an additional shortcut for "safe mode" and it's fine. No need for a full launcher just for that...

Also having this issue. When I place my finger on the screen to scroll, it initially kinda "stick" a bit as if it wanted to act like a tap, not a swipe. But then it does start the scroll. And yes, the scrolling action is hard to describe, but certainly not smooth. No other app feels like this.

I'm on a OnePlus 6.

Maybe she worked in the shipping department or a larger company, and took the money for sending everything for herself and just made her own stamps/labels instead?

Or she just sold them openly, like others suggested.

You're not payingg for just the hardware. You're paying for it being sustainably sourced (as much as possible, or at least as best as available to consumers), and the people manufacturing then getting a fair wage.
