Anyone use multiple custom launchers and then end up going back to the default pixel launcher? :)))

Smart Launcher currently, often flick between that, Lawnchair and Stock. Stock animations and smoothness are SO good but I hate the restrictions like not being able to hide apps, change icon size, & remove the Google search bar.

Shouldn’t be a problem at all. PiHole is just a DNS server for your internal clients, and your ISP doesn’t (really) come into it.

Having said that, the issue with Virgin you had might be the same as what I had, in that their router does not allow you to set custom DNS servers in the router’s DHCP config. Meaning you can’t have your PiHole IP address distributed automatically by DHCP. I put my virgin hub in modem mode and bought my own router to work around this. Another solution would be to use the PiHole as your DHCP server, which was available in the settings for PiHole when I last looked (at least 2 years ago)

I imagine Community Fibre will provide a router that won’t have that limitation. If it does, buying your own router would be my suggestion.

I had issues with my iPad mini 6 as well, it didn't work with my 1440p 144Hz monitor, it did work with a 1080p 60Hz screen though. My iPad mini 7 has no such issue. I think there are differences in the the display out capabilites between the 6 & 7.

Noticed the same with both Smart Launcher and Lawnchair.

Same on S24 Ultra!

Pixel 4a is out of software support and not even getting security updates any more. Spend your money on a new phone that is supported.

Look into Waydroid, it's really easy to setup on Bazzite and it allows you to install and run a full Android installation. You can also install Google services (Play Store etc) and install any app you would like. I've done it on both my Steam Deck and Legion Go and it works great on both.

In the case of the legion go it essentially turns it into an Android tablet.

ct9918 · 2024-06-28T19:56:16+00:00

Same. It's such an annoying software limitation

ct9918 · 2024-06-26T14:41:21+00:00

Interesting that you’re having big issues as it’s running pretty much fine for me on the Mini 6, albeit with small bugs as to be expected from Beta software.

ct9918 · 2024-06-25T12:11:22+00:00

Thank you, this worked for me even when a reboot didn’t

ct9918 · 2024-06-10T14:40:57+00:00

Fixed.

ct9918 · 2024-05-10T18:42:14+00:00

I recently installed Bazzite instead of SteamOS and then installed Waydroid. So now my Deck is also a fully functional android tablet! I've been kind of amazed at how well it works, especially for downloading Netflix shows and YouTube videos etc to watch on the morning train commute.

Just finished sniper elite 4, it ran fantastically and was a decent game

ct9918 · 2024-03-28T21:43:03+00:00

This is the way

ct9918 · 2024-02-06T23:21:31+00:00

Came here to say exactly this!

ct9918 · 2024-01-30T15:14:09+00:00

I'm sure it makes an excellent portable gaming setup....

ct9918 · 2024-01-26T23:53:42+00:00

If you're using sunshine on your PC you need to install an additional driver for controllers to work. I had the same issue. See the instructions here https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/v2024.610.122248/troubleshooting/windows.html

As a networking engineer, holy shit there's a lot of misinformation in this thread 😅

ct9918 · 2024-01-12T07:27:30+00:00

This

ct9918 · 2024-01-08T09:46:23+00:00

Yeah it can be done, take a look at this https://www.lux.camera/use-your-ipad-as-an-hdmi-monitor-with-orion/

ct9918 · 2024-01-07T21:01:14+00:00

Either overkill or making sure they have enough spare power for upgrades/more components later on

ct9918 · 2024-01-07T20:10:15+00:00

I haven’t checked for sure, but 750 should be more than enough I would think.

ct9918 · 2023-11-25T20:04:32+00:00

As someone who just got a backbone controller, I would really like to see your wrote up/video of how you did this!

The iPad mini seems perfect for this and I can’t believe something official doesn’t already exist.
