I remember that Asus did this back in the day at least, not sure if they still do. But I remember having rss feeds for at least 2 of my motherboards in my reader, back when rss was actually widely used. It’s been like 10-15 years though…

This actually sounds quite interesting. Is this controlled with DNS entries at the domain level somehow, or is the subdomain fixed/mandatory?
Yes exactly. I didn’t wanna name-drop them cause they are closed for new dynDNS signups. You can create an account to manage your own domain, but you currently can’t signup for their dynDNS service, unfortunately.
That being said, I would still highly recommend them for managing your own domain, if you’re looking for a place to host literally just the DNS part.
There are dyndns providers that support the DNS challenge that have free tiers. Those are sufficient, and you can even get wildcard certs for your subdomain that way. Perfectly sufficient for a homelab.
Basically any game that doesn’t in itself follow a story, so you are the story (or make it). For me personally it’s building and factory games, like Factorio, cities skylines (1 or 2), satisfactory, Kerbal Space program (1 only), Rim world.
This list is essentially endless.
Despite how good the steam deck is, any competition is good. With MS hardware track record I don’t have the highest hopes, but again: any competition is good.
Yeah I was just so confused when I found out that this isn’t possible. Like, it’s a file hosting and sync-ing application. That’s like absolute basics. It isn’t even “just” an open source project any more, there’s a company behind this product now. I am the last person to be angry about an open source project, run by a volunteer or three, not being feature complete.
For what it’s worth I think it works in the iOS version of the app (possibly always has?). But that’s doesn’t exactly help me either.
The native Android client just can’t do two way sync. Just put a text file or something into any folder (from the web or desktop). Now sync that folder to Android. Now edit it on the web/desktop, and look for the changes on Android (without actively telling it to “sync”). Then change the file on Android, these 2nd changes are never sent back to the server unless you explicitly tell it to “sync” again, manually. That’s what I mean with 2 way sync.
There are quite a few files where you just need that to work to use them properly, like the database of a password manager as a prime example. Mine can talk to Nextcloud natively, so I don’t need the client for that, but I was incredibly close to just switching to syncthing, if I didn’t have active users that use the web office integration of Nextcloud.
Nextcloud can’t do two-way sync on Android. At all. That’s like core functionality for the product IMHO and there’s a feature request open I think. When I found that out, I basically spit out my coffee. It’s fine if you just want to upload photos you take, that kinda works (but my god is it fragile).
Nextcloud is pretty good at quite a few things, including extensibility, but having some omissions in functionality that boggle the mind.
Another name, depending on the exact context, is “hairpin NAT”. Should make googling with the specific router OP has easier.
Heroic also supports Amazon games, doesn’t it?
Totally not needed either. Just have an additional shortcut for “safe mode” and it’s fine. No need for a full launcher just for that…
The core lesson should be “stop adding useless launchers” and even more so “stop making launchers the only way to change graphics settings”. I’m glad the steam deck has rules in place that prevent games with a forced launcher to receive a “verified”.
That’s what I’m taking away from this anyway.
There are open source implementations of their launcher. Specifically there’s “legendary”, which is the thing that can download and launch games (this is a command line tool). Fortunately there’s also “Heroic”, which will use legendary in the background and give you a normal/usable user interface, desktop shortcuts and so on. Also doesn’t work like spyware for epic on your computer, as their own store/launcher does.
Isn’t the Linux version just the windows version running with the usual compatibility layers (proton or whatever)? In other words, not an actual port?
While unfortunate, as a consumer it’s the only recourse we have. We don’t buy unity, we buy games. I won’t buy a game that might just suddenly disappear from a store where I bought it, cause the developer can’t or won’t carry install fees that may or may not come at any point.
Yes, it hurts developers. Yes, he shouldn’t have to suddenly have to pay that fee, but that is out of my control. But I’m still not taking the risk with my money. Unity clearly wants to do this, eventually they probably will.
Let’s stop buying games with unity so they have no customers left that can slam with install fees after-the-fact. All we can do.
When I bought mine on sale it was 375€ or so. I think the 512 version with the different screen surface was 650. Is that double? No, but close enough for a side note in a casual comment. Say hi to your friend for me though, he seems nice.
Just pop a non-glare screen protector on it, and it’s fine. It’s like a 5-10 $ problem.
People buying a twice as expensive model for a slightly different screen surface are just insane if you ask me. You can also install a proper 512gig SSD for like 60€ or so to get even on storage, also takes 5 minutes.
Having the sun shine through a large window is an issue, but is also an issue for a good picture on normal TVs. Picture quality with protectors is better when the room is darker (increases contrast), but a normally lit room is just fine. It also depends on how and what you’re watching. I generally do darken the room when I’m actively watching a movie, but no need for that when putting something on you’re just half watching. You can still tell just fine what’s going on even in a bright room, it just looks a bit washed out.
It also depends on the brightness/class of the projector of course, and on the screen. Don’t underestimate the visual difference a screen makes. Both having any screen over just projecting onto a white wall, and a great screen over a cheap ransom one.
The core issue is that a projector uses throwing light as bright, and not throwing light as dark. If your surface (screen or wall) is rather white and illuminated without the projector actually projecting light into it, that is as dark as a black part of the picture could possibly be. There are screens that are reflective, but more gray than white, those help with that, too.
I would say a normally lit room (with artificial light in the evening for example) is fine to use a projector. “Well lit workspace” really depends on you’re definition. For my definition of “well lit” it wouldn’t be ideal, but I’ve just installed like 49000 lumens of illumination into my 3.5 x 3.5 meter workshop, cause I like to see what I’m doing and life is too short for bad lighting.
There’s also mods in satisfactory. For example “satisfactory plus” is essentially a full rework, increasing complexity by 2-3x. Obviously needs to be updated for 1.0 first though… Just in case you need something until factorio dlc at the end of October.
Edit: if you’re familiar with factorio mods, it’s similar to and inspired by bobs+angels.
