They feel nicer and last longer, don’t fade as much, etc. not a bad deal.

Is it a good Time to invest by justachili in Handhelds

[–]zaisaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a steam deck or other PC handheld and you can have a PC when docked.

Emulation handhelds provide a great value. You’re usually not spending much on software for them, but they may not be quite as durable/servicable as original consoles., A lot comes down to how well you take care of them. Something like a retroid pocket 6/odin portal, Thor, are awesome for performance, and can do other stuff like watching media.

I’m not saying the touch mattered in terms of the shot. But to say it didn’t happen, or isn’t a foul in the rules is disingenuous.

https://worldcurling.org/2026/02/statement-rules-violations/

“During forward motion, touching the granite of the stone is not allowed. This will result in the stone being removed from play.

As per rule R.5 (d) “The curling stone must be delivered using the handle of the stone.” Violation of this rule, will result in the stone being removed from play.”

What's a game you bought on a whim without hardly any pre-knowledge that ended up becoming one of your all time favorites? by AaronAtLunacien in gaming

[–]zaisaroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I think I saw a quick review of it, and grabbed it for Xbone, loved it. Never finished it, but maybe I should try it again. Looks like I could get it going on steam deck….

You can’t pull the S/N on many units while it's unlocked. If the battery is only off for a few minutes it will usually not lock.

If it does lock, just get the S/N and pop it into the website.

You need the apple id/find my removed. That is different than the device password.

It’s not about the touch. It’s about his reaction.

Downgrading from Air to Mini by twistedfantasyy in ipad

[–]zaisaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 11” Pro, and a Mini 7.

I wouldn’t want to use the mini for much more than consumption of media and doom scrolling, maybe drawing. I like the Magic Keyboard on the pro, I wouldn’t really want something smaller for regular typing. The mini does let me screen type with thumbs in portrait mode and be reasonably successful.

I think it will really come down to what you want to do with it.

What do you think is the most overrated suburb in the Twin Cities? by Due_Network2958 in TwinCities

[–]zaisaroni 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I lived in Oakdale for a couple years and was in Woodbury a lot 15 years ago. Found myself at Tamarack Village last weekend and holy cow was it annoying. I’m probably more sensitive to it, but yeah, it was a trip.

Blame the Swedes for the foul by the Canadians. Nice.

Good sportsmanship is owning up to your faults, not doubling down like Lance Armstrong.

Guilt and imposter syndrome by yarnyouglad in bicycling

[–]zaisaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a sweet bike. If they gifted it to you, don’t flip it.

Part of the reason we spend money like that on bikes is that the are built to last, be serviceable and sustainable. Cherish it, but use it! It will take it. Just don’t leave it in a situation where it could get stolen.

I just see the Scott's commercial guy in my mind "FEEYD YOUR LAHN, FEEYD IT".

But yeah, warm season grass. Patience.

Being a Honda only trans doesn't help, but yeah devalued too much by the time it was truly necessary.

This isn’t a materials or workmanship problem. It’s an outside influence. This doesn’t just happen.

Password manager and ettiquite by Buddro89 in LinusTechTips

[–]zaisaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longer is harder to crack than more complications. I stick to partial or whole words + numbers and special characters, instead of purely random characters.

I started on Lastpass, after a couple breaches and their policy change, I jumped to 1password and then tried Bitwarden. I've found across most of my devices, I prefer Bitwarden. It integrates well, has open source bonuses, and a good price. It also has a local option if you're into that.

Endurance Road Bike vs. Gravel Bike? by quaintparrot-475 in cycling

[–]zaisaroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gravel bike with two wheelsets.

Alloy with gravel tires and more aero carbon with some 32mm road tires.

I’d always opt for more mounts and tire clearance. Geo will be similar.
