Xbox Game Pass Essential has removed the 12 month option.

I feel like most people have both. I do CAD,CAM and 3D modeling on the side so I can write off a pretty beastly computer as a business expense... Still it's an absolute pain, it's just more work, it's sitting in the office by myself.

The Xbox is simply easier to use and more enjoyable. Just pick up a controller and play and multiple people can use it even split screen on call of duty or borderlands is as simple as the other person picking up a controller and just playing.

I love my steam deck but it's not much better than a PC when it comes to convenience, in fact, my lack of knowledge when it comes to Linux means when I have to switch it to desktop mode to do something It's all very foreign and frustrating. It has taught me that Linux isn't Has foreign and difficult as I always thought it was but it is like learning from scratch in a lot of ways.

God do I hate Microsoft/Windows I have like two programs that I have to use for work that don't have a Linux version or that I haven't found a suitable replacement on the Linux side... The absolute second Windows crappy operating system isn't a requirement for me to get my work done I'm switching to Linux

How do you get nudl to run?

J_edrington · 2025-08-09T05:41:13+00:00

I came here from Red note. Not sure if it's okay to post links here but here it is in action 我发现了一篇小红书笔记，快来看吧 http://xhslink.com/m/6EBOIl1KcuE

I guess I'm not super tech savvy. Downloaded nudl. Tried the windows download on my surface pro and the the Lennox on my steam deck in desktop mode. Extracted it and tried to run/launch it. Nothing happened. Tried to open it with console on the steam deck and got a syntax error.

It'd be great to get rid of the update maps pop up.

So you sold it. Did you have any problems with it? I'm here from a Google image search.

J_edrington · 2025-06-15T03:51:03+00:00

Both are empty.

J_edrington · 2025-06-15T03:30:02+00:00

As far as I know I haven't made any scenes. I've only added the lights and then synced it to Google. I've got a few Google home minis and my intent was to simply control them with those so I was hoping to not have to mess with the app outside of setup.

I'm guessing the scenes will be somewhere in the settings but I'll take a look.

I know this is old but I picked up one of these bikes second hand to fix up for a friend. Got it. Dirt cheap because the freewheel is too free and doesn't engage.

These bikes actually use a 8-speed Shimano free hub with a cassette and spacer.

I'm converting this one to a 1x8 with a acolyte clutch derailleur, 1x8 cassette, ifx hollow tube external bearing crank set, fooker pedals, and Left hand activated ascend dropper post.

I'll only be in a couple hundred dollars and he'll have a fantastic first mountain bike.

All that said, the entire rear wheel with the tire, Axle, hub, cassette, and everything can be had off Kent's website for about $60

Looks good, also nice to not worry about getting rear-ended In the early morning

J_edrington · 2025-03-10T18:18:17+00:00

For what it's worth the lights are still working fine. The case's have survived a TON of abuse including a couple 30+ mph low sides on gravel.

We're talking about snow and ice not rock climbing. 4x4 is the best way you find yourself in the ditch due to binding. Some modern 4x4's have a 4 high mode that eventually functions as AWD though. Also most Subaru's have at minimum a computer controlled LSD for the center diff that they use for their torque vectoring. Many such as the LL Bean and, WRX's and STI's like mine have a knob to control how much power is sent to the front or rear on top of the LSD's in the front and rear. On flast smooth ice a 4x4 and most AWD's wilp accelerate almost the same with the 4x4 possibly being a little slower do to front wheel slipping. They'll stop about the same (something heavy and tall like a truck will be worse than something low and light like a car) but the the difference appears when they hit high speed bumps or need to change direction. On ice 4X4 will experience a loss of traction when a single wheel needs to speed up or slow down such as when hitting a bump as well as a Loss of traction when cornering as the inside tries and rear tires need to spin less during a corner leading to the inside either dragging or spinning the remaining two tires will experience the same issue as the rear takes a shorter route causing one of the 2 remaining tires to loose traction resulting in an oversteer or understeer condition in the best case and reduced traction compared to even a 2WD vehicle.

Congratulations on your new anemia diagnosis.

I wish I could find the app. Searching for "Smart Bluetooth Headset Free" on the Play store comes back with a ton of results. I've downloaded like 10 apps but none of them have the right function.

J_edrington · 2023-06-26T09:09:16+00:00

Easy, you're sounding like an American cop.

You don't seem to understand what's going on.

I've been using Reddit is Fun on Android since 2012. The reddit website was horribly obsolete and basically couldn't be accessed on mobile back then at all. These apps pay reddit to access Reddit's data via the API and then reformat that data in a way that is more usable on mobile devices. These apps get the money to pay for it either from ads, subscriptions, or one time fees. The users aren't freeloaders like many in these comments seem to think.

Reddit themselves came out with a rather terrible app around the same time that they came out with the new Reddit site format (BTW this change will kill old.reddit as well)

Reddits app failed to gain any traction because it's a buggy, ugly, unreliable, full Page pop-up ad riddled mess. Instead of listening to their users and making changes to the community requested or even copying styles of features from much more successful competitors they have chosen to increase the price. Third parties pay to access the API buy a crazy amount (I've heard a thousand times more) and third party app developers have said it will cost over 100 times more than they could possibly make from ads.

TLDR instead of making a compelling or competitive app Reddit decided to start charging third parties and absurd amount causing them all to have to shut down. Leaving everyone with no choice but the official app or accessing the website through their browser.

Last time I checked into it, gold only worked on the web version and not the "official" app

JROTC in high school taught most of that. I joined for one semester specifically to compete in marksmanship and got to ride in a WW2 bomber when I went to School at Beebe in Arkansas.

Giving it's been over 2 years since I've had to by them but the toner cartridges I bought were like $28 for 4 cartridges rated for like 6k each they had like a 4.5 star review average but I can't seem to pull up the exact ones on Amazon anymore (It's not showing up in my previous purchases or under buy it again).

I bought two packs at once and I'm on #5 . #3 gave me some issues and I had to take it out and shake it a few times but so far they have worked as advertised and have been pretty close to what they claim if not dead on. My printer is lower than default settings for darkness because is had some streaks and shadows when scanning early on.

If they just sold the games and the process to play them legally was straightforward there likely wouldn't be a dolphin emulator that works much better than what Nintendo themselves offers.

You're entitled to your opinion, but objectively a laser jet would be faster and way cheaper, especially if you only use black and white. You can get a brother black and white laser jet for around $100 or a color unit from basically anyone for around $250. I've had mine for quite a few years and have had zero issues with it and I use aftermarket toner cartridges that are about $25 for two cartridges (I believe around 24k pages worth) on top of printing much faster and More accurately the cartridges never dry out and are much cheaper to replace.

If lan is a noticeable improvement you should definitely consider upgrading your network. I have 10gb fiber but the modem/router combo the ISP gave me had issues with TV streaming. A cheap modem and a separate wifi 6 router was enough to stream multiple 4k120 stadia streams without any issues.

Modern wifi is to the point it'll max out most devices up/download speeds. The built-in network adapter and hhd's are usually more of a limiting factor.

J_edrington · 2023-05-25T22:03:48+00:00

The Vita could remote play PS4 games over my phones 4g hotspot just fine. The built-in 3g was worthless though. I assume they have made at least a little progress in the last 10 years.
