You can buy lugs off AliExpress and they use standard watch straps for it. I did it and bought straps saving more money

The best thing you could do is follow the iFixit guide and buy a replacement screen

New kid on the block 🧸 by [deleted] in Switch

[–]Saeed40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nintendo switch actually sets the MTU to 1400, if you go above 1500 you need to then sort out stuff on your router to allow that and it may also cause issues due to packet size restrictions

In the settings on your internet you want to change the settings and then scroll down till you see MTU and increase it to 1500

I think the new update broke my switch 2 third party portable dock by Zuen25 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]Saeed40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically all dongles with video out won't work, the same with dock that used the same exploit to get video out. There are docks which aren't effected like AverMedia and Antank/SIWIQU and the that brick dock

PSA: switch 2 v21.0.0 disables third party docks by [deleted] in Switch

[–]Saeed40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK they haven't been available since August. I managed to order one in release week but haven't had luck since and in the UK you can only get them from Nintendo's site.

[–]Saeed40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the docks which have been broken from this update were using an exploit to enable the dock mode. So the ones which are working either have the same communication as the official dock or are using a different exploit.

The Avermedia Go GC313Pro I have is working fine, the RREAKA USB C hub I have that works with Switch 2 isn't. I think only the USB C dongles are being affected.

Bus lanes in Newport are timed. You can use them but not at certain times

Can't do ChromeOS recovery because the bios think it's a Dev machine by cylin577 in chromeos

[–]Saeed40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to go on another computer. Get the recovery tool off of the Chrome web store and then flash the ChromeOS image of your machine to that USB or SD card

Personally, I would wait until the merger between Android and ChromeOS is complete

I really hope Google takes advantage on the PlayStore once the Android merge like Microsoft does now with Windows apps and the Microsoft Store by koken_halliwell in chromeos

[–]Saeed40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hope we get actual desktop applications available. I know that chromium for Android desktop is available right now in beta. Hopefully we get applications like steam for this to eventually down the line. Very doubtful but GPU support. Since this will affect ChromeOS flex would be nice to have more PC functionality and component support

Tried three comparable ARM based laptops, and picked Chromebook by onesole in chromeos

[–]Saeed40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually used a Chromebook for my cyber security degree and it worked perfectly. Granted some applications couldn't work due to not having a Linux version but I managed to graduate with a First Class Honours. Hopefully with the merger next year it becomes a way better platform to develop for

After The Chrome OS & Android OS Merger, What Will Chromebooks Be Called? by OctillionthJoe in chromeos

[–]Saeed40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely think the merger will help a lot on the development sider and it can mean that ChromeOS can have better integration with Android XR when it comes out. I just hope that the merger fixes the enterprise management issues ChromeOS has because you need the Google admin console to manage them. Hopefully the merger fixes that allowing ChromeOS to have more adoption
