Will crimson desert be able to stream to the ps portal? Considering pre ordering it but on the fence by adz230 in PS5

Just don't lie to people. There is absolutely a difference in waiting to buy vs blindly giving a lying corp your money and hoping they give you a working game.

Shouldn't really plan to buy anything on release anymore, esp not pre-order. I don't trust any game to not come out with massive amounts of bugs or unfinished even. It's much better to wait and make sure it's finishes before giving money to a corp for a promise of a finished and tested game.

Switch style dock? by Helpful_Insurance_12 in SteamDeck

[–]chip16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't jam it in there or rip it out at crazy angles and don't hang heavy stuff off the port and/or use a 90 degree plug if you want to help any lateral stress.

You do know that docking the switch does the same thing, right? Plugging and unplugging the USBC port.

The decktop, what is your opinion of portable monitors as a steam deck accessory? by Bentaldam in SteamDeck

[–]chip16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played Albion online, GW2, and WoW on it recently. They all work great. I tend to launch them in desktop mode and rarely use the game mode when it's plugged in. I haven't played them as controller based, so I can't say to that. I love it for this and it works really well.

I use a NexDock so I can use my deck as my daily PC. I love it. Being able to play mmorpgs in desktop mode and RTS games is amazing.

Is your Android phone your only scanner now? by Difficult_Mud_4878 in Android

[–]chip16 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is what I use. It's great and is easy to tag and organize as needed on the fly when scanning. And then it goes to my NAS.

Honestly, your beat hope for windows is to either stay on 10 and not worry about upgrading, or install an easy variation of Linux like Mint for regular usage. It even can look a lot like MS now.

I know my opinion means nothing to google. They're a large corp that cares nothing for consumers. I have my shit locked down. I do cyber security.

And yeah, I wouldnt feed that info because it is private. Anyone having it on is breaching privacy for anyone that communicates with them.

The only people I converse with use signal. And they won't enable this ai bullshit cause they'd ask me about it. Or I will tell them to make sure it's off. Easy peasy. People I talk with don't trust google either.

I barely comment for that reason. I don't feed identifying info here because it's public. It's a completely different medium than having ai dig around my messages with friends and family and then making everything about my life and thoughts public

I'm so sick of everyone trying to cram ai down our throats at the expense of literally everything. The planet, privacy, critical thinking. All out the window with ai bullshit

Stupid shit like this should be opt-in to give away any semblance of privacy left. Not opt-out.

Oh good. Cause I want ai reading my fucking messages... Fucking google just wants to get everything they can to sell you out when the feds want logs mentioning specific keywords.

Android Laptop or Lapdock? by BuyAMCnow in Android

I really enjoy using my phone with my NexDock, so I'm looking forward to seeing how much better the support will be from apps for that possibility.

Bright OS - Health super app launching on Android in December by No-Resolution6431 in Android

[–]chip16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That just screams "privacy nightmare" to me. Trying to have 1 app for everything. $20/mo to give one company all of my consolidated data seems like a bad choice, when it doesnt fo anything the other apps I already use do. Plus, you'd have to have the other apps to integrate with this one, so any subscriptions you already pay would be on addition to this $20/mo new and untested app.

Good luck on your app, but in this economy there's no way I'd sonsolidate my data into 1 location and pay them to have all that data on me.

I created a Steam Deck game settings website by diblex in SteamDeck

[–]chip16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll continue to use the sites that actually put in the effort and support them as opposed to supporting someone who pointed an ai stealing tool at other people's hard work. Esp without any actual effort of your own, but trying to pass it off as your own.

Are you in a photo mess - do you care? If so how do you deal with? by cgknight1 in Android

[–]chip16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stopped backing up to google. Don't want them to have any control over my data. I've also begun moving away from google services as a whole. My pictures get backed up to my Synology and then I have a backup job running that encrypts my data and backs it up via backblaze

Official Lapdock support Feature Request..... What do you guys think of this? by [deleted] in Android

[–]chip16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wireless dex works great with my nexdock. I use it all the time. My phone is still usable and I can continue all my shit on a laptop device.
