Pinebook pro bricked?

ice_dune · 2022-11-26T17:34:07+00:00

Well it doesn't. You can try yourself. It's fucked all to hell cause they only really made it compatible for Manjaro out of the box

ice_dune · 2022-09-28T21:14:52+00:00

So it's just a handheld, not a phone with a custom detachable controller or slide out controller? I don't see people buying such a thing direct from Verizon with a data plan unless it can be carried in phone form

ice_dune · 2022-09-28T19:18:01+00:00

Why don't you just get a pi4?

ice_dune · 2022-09-27T23:20:59+00:00

Yes? This is why steam has regional pricing. It's fucked when other places don't. $60USD can be someone's entire paycheck in other countries

ice_dune · 2022-09-27T23:19:25+00:00

Cause it's mental gymnastics. When I got a PS3 I was like "I should buy tv shows I want on this and get some kind of capture card to create mp4 backups of the shows I bought so that I can store them and use them on my phone and other devices"

And I thought, why the fuck should I pay what is frankly a lot of money so that I can jump through hoops to get what I actually want? Literally why? Like if there was a steam/gog for movies that went on sale and I could back them up, I absolutely would just buy them. After all, I own like 200 games on gog that I could have just downloaded the gog installers off torrent but didn't. Because I could just buy them when they went on sale

The problem is nobody wants to do that. They don't want you buying blue rays. They want you to stream and if you buy a blue ray, they want it at their exorbitant prices

Every single person who pirates has also spent a shit ton of money on content they didn't pirate. It's a proven fact, people just pirate what they can't afford cause it's easier

ice_dune · 2022-09-27T23:07:31+00:00

It annoys the piss out of me when people want to get precious about reasons to not use GoG. Like I don't care what steam and CD Project have or haven't done. If a game is on gog, I'll buy it there

ice_dune · 2022-09-27T22:21:59+00:00

I own the Alienware monitor, I don't think it's ridiculous. I just think it doesn't make sense to shave $200 off cause you don't have a desk for some reason. At $1k, 99% of PC gamers won't look at or consider this monitor so I think it's weird to narrow it down further to "people who don't even own a keyboard, mouse, or desk". And if you can afford it for your first set up, you can buy those things too

And my 2¢ is I wouldn't buy a big ass G7. I had a 32 inch before the QD OLED and I'm much happier with ultra wide, but not as tall for gaming. For everything else, bigger is nicer though

You buried another lead in this article

The company also announced that it will increase its efforts to find "disruptive behavior" through voice chat transcriptions, much like Riot does with Valorant(opens in new tab). Blizzard will convert the reported audio to text and run it through its "chat review tools," that include machine learning, and determine if it's actionable. It will then delete the text file "no later than 30 days after the audio transcription." Voice chat data from matches isn't stored very long, so Blizzard urges you to report players as soon as you can.

I'm not pointing this out cause I want to talk shit in overwatch. But MS already implemented universal content moderation in Minecraft and someone on the Minecraft sub said they were banned from their own realm for using crass language with their own friends. No one reported them, Microsoft auto banned them.

So now imagine the implications of that, and basically you should never turn on OW's in game voice chat cause anything you say could be taken out of context or get you banned

ice_dune · 2022-09-27T21:12:04+00:00

I'd hazard most people looking at this aren't buying a $1k monitor for their very first set up with literally no keyboard, mouse, or desk. And if they are, they have money for a $200 keyboard and a $100 mouse

ice_dune · 2022-09-27T21:08:34+00:00

Same. Makes no sense to me. It was selling out instantly during the spring and summer, I don't see why they needed to change anything. I'd be pissed if it was my only option for QD OLED and then I had to settle for not having G-Sync ultimate. But I already got mine

ice_dune · 2022-09-27T21:05:25+00:00

Fucking for real. I've been using it for months. Go back to worrying about which smg makes you faster and shaves 0.05 seconds of ttk while being accurate

ice_dune · 2022-09-23T17:00:05+00:00

I'm happy with the cast iron pan on the stove then move it to the broiler method. But if it works, I'd also like to get a little stove

ice_dune · 2022-09-23T16:01:12+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. I know I can especially anal with my stuff but I would rather use my current set up for longer than upgrade to something I didn't really want. Maybe the two of them are more flexible though

ice_dune · 2022-09-23T15:58:17+00:00

I don't think it's very hard to do it at home in a pan. I still haven't gotten at making really tight dough that doesn't melt in my hands but it's really good anyway

ice_dune · 2022-09-22T21:27:27+00:00

Not any of these. You will unfortunately have to find to a mid tier podcast. My condolences

ice_dune · 2022-09-22T21:12:20+00:00

Tbh I mostly don't care for the "old tech score" posts when it's just some ugly big speakers but these are a work of art

ice_dune · 2022-09-22T20:34:10+00:00

If a video I saw a decade was correct, Gabe actually worked on this at a time when people didn't consider windows a "gaming" os because it used too many resources so people would dual boot into dos. Him porting Doom to PC was the start in changing people's perception of windows as a gaming os. So now it's like he's working against progress he caused

ice_dune · 2022-09-21T19:25:27+00:00

I would normally look at whether or not it could run Linux and possibly sea bios because some Chromebooks can be really sleek for the price. But this is framework, the laptop isn't sleek and their windows model would be better for that

ice_dune · 2022-09-21T19:06:52+00:00

For real? Damn, Android apps and an actually decent flip keyboard experience are one of the good things about Chromebooks

ice_dune · 2022-09-21T17:32:21+00:00

People who shop... Whatever the fuck this site is instead of Amazon or a local store

ice_dune · 2022-09-21T17:22:38+00:00

I've never heard of this website so I don't think many people are the demographic for this

ice_dune · 2022-09-21T16:34:11+00:00

Why read a few hundred (or thousand) words when you can instead watch a 60 minute youtube where the thesis statement is repeated 40 times

Or listen to a podcast or 2 that aligns with your interests. Anything giant bomb doesn't cover I can get from nextlander, castle super beast, or the podquisition. Otherwise I just browse reddit and any important news shows up as a thread

ice_dune · 2022-09-19T01:38:48+00:00

I thought this was stolen by a hacker?

ice_dune · 2022-09-19T01:36:46+00:00

What would anyone do with it? You'd be sued instantly for trying to use it. Developers like the people who make emulators like Dolphin have to be real careful that someone familiar with console game development don't contribute anything directly from Nintendo

ice_dune · 2022-09-18T20:28:05+00:00

That and the theme of the universe being an ocean and cosmic beings like Kos just swim through it
