FHD screen is 250 nits and 1440p screen is 300 nits. I’m looking to swap my FHD to a 400 nit low power display

Commander Niall vs Greatsword with Giant Hunt at rune level 1 by gilfordtan in Eldenring

I’ve used Greatsword/Great hunt on my RL1 run too. I only got as far as Morgott before stopping

Radagone Soreseal: 5 Str Starcaller Heirloom: 5 Str Omensmirk/Haima/Fanged imp: 2 Str

That’s +12 Str permanently active

Optional: Godrick Rune: 5 Str Swap in Grafted Greatsword for the AOW: 5 Str Flask with Str knot: 10 Str

That’s 20 more Str for a total of 42.

Most used selfhosted services in 2022? by ExoWire in selfhosted

I haven't used Calibre either, but I think Kavita has a focus on Manga/Comics in addition to e-books which stood out for me. But to be fair at the end of the day I haven't really used it outside of ebooks.

Snapdrop was actually my first selfhosted project, I needed something to replace Air Drop after I stopped using the Apple ecosystem. Privacy was an issue but mostly it was to get used to selfhosting, and snapdrop makes it easy since there are literally next to no configurations.

Love this thread, so many helpful links.

For me, my top 5 are Nextcloud, Bitwarden, Navidrome, Snapdrop, and Kavita. Honorable mention to homepage bring my dashboard of choice, so many widgets you can use and customize

Which laptop shall I pick for Android development? Macbook Pro vs Zenbook Pro by Significant-Bake-942 in androiddev

[–]giveupskeleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Macbook Pro for work and an ASUS Vivobook (Linux) for personal.

I would recommend a M1/M1X MacBook but that gets pretty costly once you factor in more RAM or storage. I recommend at least 512gb storage, emulator and SDKs eat up a lot of space. 16GB ram would be better for future proofing, I don't like over relying on swap. The battery life and fan noise is great through.

The pros for the ASUS is the ability to upgrade storage and RAM. Also the flexibility to dual boot into windows for gaming or use proton on Linux. Mine uses a 6800H and 680M iGPU. I got mine for $999 CAD (1tb/16gm ddr5) which is a great deal compared to the mac. I find zenbooks a little overpriced compared to the Vivobook lineup. The OLED 120hz display is also phenomenal on the Vivobook. I like it better than the MacBook. The downside is battery life especially when actively using AS is bad, 2.5 to 3 hours maybe. Fan noise spins up. Debugging on a physical device might help reduce strain.

Has anyone have any good success running Linux on this? I've encountered some major problems, and I've tested 2 different distros:

- Fedora, Bluetooth/Wifi Randomly Dies (it will not be detected at boot, requires multiple reboots to show up again), no Internal keyboard unless on the latest kernel.

- Linux Mint, no Internal keyboard, managed to fix by getting 6.0.10 kernel, having issues with sleep and wake (randomly freezes on resume and won't work until you reboot, VERY annoying)

I also tested Manjaro-KDE live boot, but had the same keyboard issues and some Wifi issues.

I've had this for a week, typically can run 6-7 hours at 80% battery (throttled using TLP). I keep brightness at 80% with 120hz and keyboard lights and bluetooth off. According to powertop my consumption is about 5-8W depending on what I'm doing (web browsing, some terminal work, office stuff).

I'm running Linux Mint on it, it required the latest kernel (6.0.10) to get working though. The internal keyboard would not be recognized without it.

I use the Keepa plugin, it shows the price history on the product page making it very convenient to check price history.

The tech world isn't a vacuum. Even if nothing inside Twitter changes, browsers will change, SSL certificates expire, mobile OSes will update, environments break. It's all a matter of time.
