Which is fine for their store. But one of the things that used to make Android a more free ecosystem was that you could load apps from 3rd-party sites or stores, including stuff like F-Droid. Some of these apps do things that Google in particular won’t like - i.e. circumventing ads/analytics - so having them control who gets signing keys is not good

Hmmm. I was thinking since sort of flat screen that masquerades as a picture frame. Maybe an AIO device for game streaming.

I saw somebody who did a similar project except the games were actually stored locally, and then the “carts” were 3D printed gameart “boxes” with RFID chips that it would read and use to determine what to load.

My TODO lost includes something similar but with 3D barcodes on the boxes which can be read by a small camera

Ok… well we are discussing the fictive ability to speak with somebody who is dead. I’m assuming that whatever necromancy/chronomancy is involved included some sort of translation.

Hell, if it’s necromancy then the only thing we might get out of poor Leo is a “cerveeeeeeelli” before he lunges across the table :-)

I’d go for Leonardo. The others - while I understand things at a basic level - I’d likely not be able to understand most of their fields.

Maybe Tesla but I’m not sure if the conversation would end up centered around some of the neat science stuff I could grasp or pigeons with laser-eyes …

As far as ones who actually did things there I’m not sure that Hawking would have even been physically capable at a point where he was famous.

Arch has a bit of a steeper learning curve. Ubuntu is probably the most “mainstream”, but I prefer Mint (based on Ubuntu) for some user-friendly changes. PopOS (already based on Ubuntu) is also supposed to be a bit more gaming centric if you’ve got an Nvidia card.

I’ve got an AMD kit in my main machine and Nvidia/Intel in my laptop and both work fine with most Steam games using Proton.

Makes sense.

When I spend a lot of time doing 3D design work I find myself looking at the world afterwards in terms of underlying mathematics, angles and shapes. Like I’ll look at a cabinet and see rectangles and cylindrical cuts that could reproduce it in 3d, or a lamp-post as a circle extruded along a path.

People who are really into rocks probably notice more about that stuff because their brains are hyper-focused on such

Ha. I really wanted to play BF2+Project Reality back in the day but it never quite ran right on my PC (more the fault of the PC than the game or mod I think).

I’ll check Squad out

Fair. It can still be a good game but I was so miss the old BF games

Looks more like Fortnite than BF.

I want another game like BF1942+Desert combat, or possibly BF2142

Yeah I’d say capitalism ruined the Internet, rather than the other way around. Early Internet was janky but amazing

Yeah Prodigy is definitely kids-Trek but ultimately it’s also kinda forgettable.

I let my young’ns watch a curated selection of Lower Decks - Sans certain episodes - and they love it

Meanwhile Chihuahuas: “I am small and full of spite, don’t get close unless you want a bite”

And figured out parallax a long time ago

From another article, this seems to be what happened. The cart was purchased via FB Marketplace from somebody who had also cloned it to a multi-cart. Detection likely occurred due to the same cart ID showing active at two places.

I’ve been migrating to Soverin and like it thus far. I’ve only done email and my calendaring though.

It’s not free but it’s also not overly costly.

Be funny to see a spoof of this where he messes up and tries to hook up with an alien who has Vagina Dentata or something.

Enterprise doesn’t get a lot of love, but I really enjoyed it and was sad when it got cut short.

I’d watch it
