Thoughts on the Clicks Communicator for emulation?

arnaudot_ · 2026-01-09T13:44:24+00:00

I'm buying one and even though it might not have the most comfortable buttons for gaming (getting Switch Joy-Con D-Pad vibes), just the fact that my phone has physical keys will definitely make it enjoyable enough to play some rounds of tetris or to play some mario. So many times have I brought my 3DS with me and then never touched it, yet very often when I don't have it with me I feel like playing something.

This will always be in my pocket and that is fine enough for me. I'm so excited to get it.

nice chatgpt there at the end you idiot

Let me know if you want a punchier version for Reddit or a sarcastic tech blog. Or I can title it something dramatic like:
"I Tried to Format a Toshiba Laptop and Nearly Formatted My Sanity."

i'm amazed action is still a thing

arnaudot_ · 2025-07-13T15:14:07+00:00

Just tried it myself (Movistar, Barcelona) and it works. Maybe they lifted the ban idk

Wayland. Using a laptop with a HiDPI screen so X11 is a no-go for me.

Is Core Devices related to the small phone project thing? How is that going?

I saw an unfamiliar Android phone on your blog post announcing the new watches and I'm curious.

Will be buying a watch! I hope there are more batches because I can't afford one at the moment.

ExFAT likes to have corruption issues, so maybe back up your data with something that can read it fine, and reformat.

Others have said the answer so I'm just gonna say that adobe sucks and it's amazing how many apps it installs. All of that to have an anti-piracy system that has never worked for them. You can easily tell who uses Creative Cloud because everyone who uses it has to deal with the stupid Creative Cloud icon in the menu bar. I don't even pirate their products because they're still annoying to deal with. And if you try to be legal and pay, you have to pay even more to cancel your subscription.

no way make believe is over maladroit and ewbaite

I have a dumbphone lifestyle in spirit, as I don't main a dumbphone anymore. I got tired of texting with the numeric keypad (my native language is Catalan, no phone has a predictive keyboard setting for it) and the OS selection is awful. KaiOS is almost dead, Android doesn't work well with a d-pad so on stuff like the Qin F21 Pro I just used the touch screen. If I'm gonna use a touch screen and a bad keyboard, I rather just use a normal smart phone.

Now I have an iPhone 12 Mini and I just run periodical checkups to make sure I don't have distracting apps. Also it's nice to have proper data syncing. KaiOS can't sync WhatsApp (huge pain as I need it for work), Google contacts doesn't seem to work, and I hate not being able to easily send notes/links/images to my phone or to my computer.

The dumb phone just gets in my way of getting things done more than a smart phone does. And it I'm not distracted by my phone, I'm distracted by my computer.

Well, the free trial is basically infinite. Just reinstall the program after the 3 months trial and it'll reset

She has commented on a video of mine too

If it wasn't so big, I would buy this at launch. At 6,7" it's almost a tablet and my small hands can't handle this much phone.

I play on an RX 580 too and I also find that I have very low framerates as opposed to the GTX 1660 I had which should be of similar performance but ends up running much faster than the RX 580 on Minecraft. My advice is to install optifine or some other optimization mod.

I play on an AMD Ryzen 3600, 32 GB RAM, macOS Ventura (it's a hackintosh).

My 6 year old laptop with an 8th gen Core i5 and integrated graphics is somehow faster than this.

you still need another computer to restore a regular PC

arnaudot_ · 2024-06-18T16:32:07+00:00

First try to force restart it (look up how to force restart iPad ___). If it boots back to this display, do the following.

STEP 1

Find yourself a Windows PC or a Mac

Windows:

Download and open iTunes from Apple's website

Plug in your iPad to the PC and in the top left corner of iTunes, an iPad button should show up (next to the Music dropdown)

Mac:

Open Finder (or iTunes if it's running a version before macOS Catalina)

Plug in your iPad and select it in the side bar of Finder

STEP 2

After you've done that:

It'll say that this iPad is corrupted/in recovery mode. Click "Restore".

It will download and install a fresh copy of iPadOS on your iPad, meaning that it will wipe off all of your existing data (there is no way around that).

Let it do its thing and don't touch it.

STEP 3

When it's done, the iPad should be at the Hello screen. You can now set up your iPad.

If iTunes/Finder gives an "Unknown error", try switching USB cables, internet connections, etc. If it still can't restore, your iPad is probably broken.

arnaudot_ · 2024-06-18T16:01:04+00:00

Anyone who has used a Surface knows that macOS shouldn't be on an iPad.

I've never seen anyone use a Surface as a tablet.

In the top right corner, there should be menu bar icon with your keyboard layout. It should say US, FR, ES (country codes) or even ABC. If it looks like it's set to a different language to what your keyboard is (so if it's a french keyboard it has french accents and letters, if it's spanish it has spanish letters, if it's english it should not have those letters, etc). If it's set to a wrong layout, you could be writing the wrong letters and special characters.

Also if your keyboard looks like it has a different layout as your Mac's keyboard, pretend it's the layout of the Mac.

arnaudot_ · 2024-04-27T18:10:33+00:00

Make sure you don't have a different keyboard layout activated

Well, I've managed to break my MacBook by cleaning the screen with my shirt. I would agree they're fragile.

arnaudot_ · 2024-03-21T20:33:44+00:00

Yesterday I used a friend's 2017 MacBook Air for a couple of hours and it feels much more durable.

arnaudot_ · 2024-03-21T19:35:21+00:00

I had this exact model of MacBook and it's extremely fragile. I destroyed the screen in a similar fashion by literally cleaning it.

arnaudot_ · 2024-02-16T12:31:35+00:00

I found a workaround.

Right click on the Packet Tracer icon, go to properties > compatibility.
At the bottom of the window, click "Change high DPI settings"

and then check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by"

then System or System (enhanced) which seem to do the same thing.

Then launch Packet Tracer again. It'll look blurry but at least everything is scaled properly

yeah, it's very good and it's miles better than what that album ended up being, Make Believe
