I’ve heard that the brand new Nvidia 555 drivers actually work with Wayland. I was ready to switch my gaming laptop to Linux but I may wait a few weeks for the driver to release out of beta. (Arch users shut up, lol.)
No, sadly, it shipped with windows 8.1. Chrome OS would have at least made sense.
I mentioned this elsewhere but this hyfetch isn’t actually fair to the crapbook. I had Firefox open as well, with Lemmy as the only open tab (so it’s totally usable, who needs to do anything other than post on Lemmy?). It was actually 1.03 Gb ram consumption on the terminal after closing Firefox.
Glados the crapbook is now running bunsenlabs and it’s sitting at 745M on the desktop according to conky.
Nah, I actually really liked bunsenlabs when I tried running it live, so I’m going to install that, at least for a bit. I might try a different DE with Debian, XFCE was fine but not amazing.
It’s Bazzite on wildly impractical hardware. I had the installer on my ventoy USB and decided to try and install it on my crapbook for shits and giggles.
No, it doesn’t run well. But to be fair, I also had Firefox open on another desktop with the only open tab being Lemmy.
I once saw a webcomic many years ago with a straight couple in kink gear in front of a computer, and the guy was saying something like “You’ve been a bad girl, I’m installing Windows ME on your computer.”
I tried searching for it, but I can’t find it. :/
I’ve seen a few YouTubers buy AliExpress 3ds consoles, and all of those have been refurbished, often with after market shells which, while often not terrible, aren’t Nintendo quality. If the console shows up, it’ll probably be fine, but you’re still not necessarily getting an amazing deal. I got my New 3ds LL (Japanese version) in excellent condition from a seller on eBay based in Japan for about $25 less and I got one with an upper IPS screen - but mine is in black. If you really want a special 3ds and you’re okay with a decent reshell, buying through AliExpress might be an alright option.
My brother was assigned that in school and we had it in the RV on a camping trip, so I picked it up and read it one evening. Both the info on citrus growing, and the violence, are things I still remember. Fucked up.
Was it assigned reading? Where did you go to school? I’ve always wondered if that book made it into reading lists anywhere outside of Florida.
I have played quidditch, with the broom.
I spent more time trying not to trip over said broom than actually playing. And I’m somewhat athletic. It wasn’t great.
I think your tech suggestion is neat. I think your hope of a thriving Cleveland community on Lemmy is a bit too ambitious at the moment. I’m slightly active in the Minnesota and Twin Cities communities on here, but… they’re pretty quiet communities. The problem you run into is that most users on social media sites like this don’t post. Or they only comment. You need enough people to post so it’s not just one or two people feeling like they’re yelling into a void. The Twin Cities may be slightly smaller than Cleveland, but we’re actually interesting, lol.
Funny enough, I stopped mixing up my left and right after I broke my arm roller blading (on another occasion I broke my arm while biking). I didn’t have a way to mentally keep track until the doctor set the arm slightly off with the bone bowing out a bit - it feels slightly different now, but visually you can’t tell.
I’ve got the tools, I just need to get some oxyclean so that I can avoid disassembling the device multiple times, lol. I’m kinda busy and I’m hoping to get to it next week during my weekend.
Hexbear has some awesome emojis, lol. I haven’t seen the flag burning one yet.
If you’ve got a modded 3ds, Red Viper works extremely well to emulate Virtual Boy games, if you’re curious about them. Arguably it’s a better experience than playing them on a Virtual Boy.
Thanks for all of the advice! I’ll have to try and get my gbc working again too. I knew I needed some specialty bits to disassemble but wasn’t completely sure what.
Congrats!
I recently found my game boy color with my copy of Pokemon Red in it - a fresh set of batteries and it started the game just fine, but most of the buttons are non functional. Did you need to replace the buttons, or did they just work after cleaning with alcohol?
I wonder if oxyclean will work for my lime green gbc or if something else would be better?
Have there been any video games that have done this for an idle animation?
I wasn’t able to find one. Which, if anyone saw my shitpost, is the real reason I installed it on my crapbook. I found out that the installer is pretty great, it just worked out of the box (at least on that computer, my gaming machine has an Nvidia graphics card…), and that GMOME isn’t really for me.
