If you pirated it you could have played it offline though. Paying customers get a worse experience than pirates

Going by core count alone is a pretty shitty metric for CPU performance. The 4 core APU in the steam deck will outperform an 8 core bulldozer cpu by any metric

I’m gonna blow your mind by telling you there are already working PS4 and Xbox One emulators, although both only support a small number of games so far

PS3 and Xbox 360 can be emulated very well by a modern PC, the majority of games work without glitches

If this gets decent standby battery life on 4g I would seriously consider it as my secondary phone

Torrenting only works if the peers can connect to each other. If you dont have a port forwarded, then you can only connect to other peers that have a forwarded port. At least one of the 2 parties connecting to each other needs an open port for the connection to happen.

If you are on a public tracker it can happen that a torrent is shown to have multiple seeders, but if you try downloading it without having an open port it won’t work unless at least one of those seeders has their port open. This is mostly a problem on public trackers, since many private trackers enforce their members to have working port forwarding.

So it is technically possible to download torrents without working port forwarding, but only if enough other other peers have port forwarding set up on their end and your tracker doesn’t (rightly) ban you for it.

Does the client automatically do it?

If you aren’t using a VPN then most torrent clients will automatically set up port forwarding on your router using Upnp. Unless Upnp is disabled in your routers settings. If you are using a VPN you usually need to set up port forwarding manually, but there are some vpn clients that do it automatically

Edit: this article explains it better than me: https://protonvpn.com/blog/port-forwarding/

You need port forwarding for peer-to-peer protocols like Bittorrent

Mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding so it’s useless for most people that actually have a need for a VPN and aren’t just victims of influencer marketing making them believe they need a VPN

Some phones have UWB. Zero phones have Bluetooth 6.0

Or you could just get a Moto tag, which already supports Google FindMy and has centimeter accuracy thanks to UWB

If a kinda niche hobby becomes more popular temporarily, there’s also the chance that waiting it out will score you some good barely-used gear for cheap as those that buy and try decide it’s not for them.

Thats exactly what’s happening in Germany with indoor weed growtents at the moment. We legalized homegrown weed in April, which caused a huge wave of people buying new equipment for double the regular price because of such high demand, and now suddenly people realize how much work it is and that small mistakes can easily ruin your harvest. So now the marked is slowly starting to be overflow with used equipment

Step 1. Vote Merkel in for 20 years

16 years, but you are essentially right

Given how ebikes are becoming more popular every year, and all manufacturers are locking them down with canbus, you’re gonna hear that phrase a lot in the future

It looks like gated communities can’t be accessed using your app. I tried opening /r/steroids and just got a blank page

Were not going back!

There are still some niche subreddits I can’t live without, that either don’t exist on Lemmy or are so small here they might as well not exist

I dualboot Linux and hackintosh, mostly for Affinity and Fusion360

Onshape and Fusion360 both have tons of great tutorials available, and they are completely free for non-commercial use. There is a reason those are used by almost everyone in the 3d printing community.

No, it wouldn’t. The same thing happened when 3G was shut off here and there was no recourse for consumers.

No, it was entirely Nvidias fault

That’s such an americentric statement. There are other countries in the world, you know?

In Germany we have such a small amount of stray dogs, or ones getting surrendered to shelters, that shelters have to import dogs from other countries to fulfill demand. And there have been tons of cases where those turned out to come from puppy mills abroad.

So yes, there are cases where buying from a reputable breeder is a much more ethical option than getting a dog from a shelter

It’s just an android device, someone will make a bootloader unlock and custom rom for it if it comes to that
