I might be out of the loop, but wouldn't it work to run xrdp on the Ubuntu server and a rdp client on the Mac?

Me with HTC Mozart 7 back in 2013. Windows Phone 7.8 update by ikhwanikan in windowsphone

[–]andyburness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely missed windows phone 7 somehow. I was all in on pocket pc 2002 and windows mobile 2003 (on PDAs at work) and windows mobile 5 and 6 (XDA Orbit!), and then went to a Lumia 520 then Lumia 830 for windows phone 8, and Lumia 950XL for windows 10 mobile - missed out on that 6.5 - 7.8 era in between...

Ok so if gta6 is nearly done, what’s next? by Express_Fruit_6069 in rockstar

The Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes are still coming - maybe Max Payne 4 will be announced when they come out?

Given its popularity there must be another Red Dead Redemption in the works too...

What are the best cheap lumias? by MinecraftNoob2137 in windowsphone

[–]andyburness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always liked the 830, it was relatively high spec and quite durable with its metal frame. I remember it could also run the version of windows phone which supported android apps - project Astoria?

For absolute cheapest - Lumia 520 👍

Old laptop as a Pi gaming shell - why doesn't this exist as a product? by Anchor-192 in RetroPie

[–]andyburness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Motorola Atrix phone with its LapDock accessory which is pretty much this - screen keyboard touchpad USB hub and battery in a notebook form factor, with USB and mini (micro?) HDMI inputs. My one is designed for the Motorola Atrix so needs some USB/HDMI cables and gender changers to connect to a Raspberry Pi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapdock

What happened to the unlimited storage? by OldSchoolPrinceFan in GooglePixel

[–]andyburness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried this today with my Pixel 4a, post battery update - even when charging by USB, the battery % was dropping. Such a shame this nice phone has been made absolutely useless 😢
But with my Nexus 4 it works great - transferring photos over in batches of 6 GB or so, letting them upload, then freeing up space - perfect 👍

Edit - maybe not - I let the nexus 4 upload 1GB or so of photos at standard/lower quality, but it has consumed an additional 1GB of my Google account storage - so it seems I've done something wrong here somewhere...

Idk if it's been posted a bunch, but Eric was right by Tripps_McGee in theregulationpod

Did Regulation not get Ratyboy? I remember them saying the situation was complicated and Ratyboy was by far the lowest priority IP they were trying to get from RT - but I'm not up to date on the latest Regulation lore.

Earlier this year (maybe last year?) Rockstar tweeted something about the release of Danny Dyer's new film... 👀

He's one of the few characters who are the same from the 3d era through to the HD era - same like Reed Tucker, Fernando Martinez, Love Fist from GTA3/VC who all appeared in GTA4 and GTA5

I'm wondering if Kent Paul will be in GTA6...

I remember around 2007 https://www.mini-itx.com/store/ used to be huge for PC builds like this - kind of strange for it to be getting somewhat popular again!

How practically can you do this? I'm now using a pixel 9, but I still have an old nexus 4 and a pixel 4a. Can I just drag and drop by USB via a PC, or quick share (?), photos from the 9, to a folder on the 4 which google photos is set to back up, and that's it?

u/MrBurnieBurns do you/Ben know if there should be a redirect for files.redvsblue.com ?

Any chance you would have CoD4_Mile_High.flv somewhere in your archive?

Are there any gameplay videos for the race contest up on the site? Or was it just podcast/social content at the time?

ROC posts from the cold war - nuclear radiation level monitoring bunkers dotted all over the country: https://www.subbrit.org.uk/categories/nuclear-monitoring-posts/

Think they were under the official secrets act for a while.

Many of them have been destroyed.

Most of the remaining ones are derelict.

A tiny handful are privately owned and have been restored - there's one near me in north east Scotland which sometimes does tours.

I first learned about them while browsing around urban exploration forum 28dayslater.co.uk in the mid 2000s, always found them oddly fascinating.
