If anything this reflects badly upon Microsoft’s cloud business. Dynamically spinning up enough servers shouldn’t be an issue nowadays.

Around that time we had the Nokia N900. For me it was the perfect phone. Debian as a base with Nokia’s (unfortunately proprietary) apps on top of X11. You could just recompile Linux apps like Gimp and it worked. Apps that were made for Palm’s WebOS worked.

Pidgin’s libpurple was used for all the instant messaging so just about any protocol just worked without any need for extra apps. You could easily hack the underlying system. People added functionality like using the light sensor as a button. Angry Bird’s first release was on that phone.

I miss it dearly. It was killed by Microsoft. Nothing ever managed to come close. That little 128 MB RAM machine had better multitasking than modern 8 GB phones.

I put off the switch so long because I didn’t know what udev was but I understood that it was important.

From an outside perspective it’s so strange that this thing doesn’t work with Xbox live and other cloud providers. Or does it?

Until then Bazzite seems to be what you’re looking for. Although any other Linux Distribution should work as well. I put OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my Deck to have more customisation options.

That’s a Steam Machine. The idea didn’t take off because it’s just a pre-built PC (and because they trusted other companies to do it for them). It’s a highly competitive market with very low margins.

When they announced the Deck they did recommend one particular small box as a development machine as it matched the Deck’s performance very closely. You might try looking for that. Although by now there are probably more powerful ones available for the same price.

You don’t even need that. I have switched between several distros and always kept the same filesystem and just deleted everything but the /home folder. No problems. Every installer supported that.

Doesn’t Pop!OS do that already?

The first one that came to mind was fli4l (Floppy ISDN for Linux). Originally a distro of German origin that fit on a single floppy disk to turn a 386 or 486 PC into a router for ISDN connections. Last I looked it’s still actively worked on.

There are probably tons of more obsuce ones. But this is one I actually used.

The only reason I’m not playing more VR is that it’s more involved than playing without. You have to make space to play. If you’re playing from PC (which I would recommend) you have to set that and the games up. And then it’s usually more fun to play standing for which I don’t always have the energy.

My Quest 1 is not logged in to Meta so I only play free games from Sidequest or whatever free games I used to get from Meta. Plenty to play with that and PCVR.

“Smaller” games like Moon Rider are usually more fun. At least in the long run. Full games like Alyx are few and far between. But ports of older games work well. I dare say that VR is the best way to play Doom 3.

I love Did I take my meds? to remind me take my pills but also show me if I already took them that day.

Yeah, back then Valve was just a shitty publisher insisting on their own shitty DRM infested launcher.

Huh? I wanted to see whether Portal 1 and 2 are free as well to recommend them to family and friends but for the life of me I can’t figure it out. They don’t show any info on purchasing them whether I’m logged in or not.

My cousin programmed a simple labyrinth game on my C64 by randomly placing symbols on the screen and you had to get the cursor from the upper left corner to the lower right without bumping into a symbol.

I was so impressed.

If this isn’t cyberpunk dystopia I don’t know what is. I’ll crosspost to !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world.

As far as I know RetroPie also has x64 images.

Fuck.

I kinda want this.

$ 39.99

LOL, nope, the classics play just fine as they are.

Nextcloud as the server and DAVx⁵ with Fossify Calendar as the client on my phone. On my laptop Kontact, but I haven’t looked at that in ages, so it could be in shambles for all I know. I think I’ve also used Thunderbird with some plugin.

And my Fritzbox router uses CardDAV to populate the phonebook of all connected phones.

Holy shit, that’s awesome! Finally Epic is doing some good. Let’s hope Sweeney doesn’t swoop in to stop it.

Aiming in MP3 is done through the IR pointer. I loved that game. It has the best FPS controls on the Wii. But it has absolutely nothing to do with gyro aiming.

With gyro aiming you do the large movements traditionally with the right joystick and only make micro adjustments with very small natural tilting of the controller. I thought I wasn’t using it until I deactivated it. It has nothing to do with picking up the controller and pointing it at the screen. It has nothing to do with making any gestures. An outside observer might not even notice that you’re using it.
