I got the Unihertz Titan 2 in December and I absolutely love it. 12GB of RAM are amazing. The camera isn’t good, I hope they’ll improve that with the next model.
Clicks is very quiet about the amount of RAM in their device, it seems like they haven’t finalized that yet. Given current RAM pricing, I fear a 6GB model coming… :(
At least we still have very powerful netbooks. GPD makes some.
I am really grateful that Microsoft removed Windows Mixed Reality from Windows 11 and turned a lot of good headsets into trash for a while. Got an HP Reverb G2 for 120 bucks and now that works better than ever thanks to the Oasis driver that came out a few months ago.
It’s 2160p per eye and I played Half-Life: Alyx on it, which is an absolute masterpiece. And I got Virtual Home Theater and watched all of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies in full 3D SBS. Better quality than my local cinema.
The Steam frame is supposed to have the same resolution and might be 600+. I’m not paying that much for VR.
And the Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro joystick. Came out in 1998 and people still build USB adapters today to make it work in modern racing games and flight simulators.
Using light sensors was wild back then, the successor didn’t use them anymore because they cheaped out.
I wish we’d still use them. Typing this on a Unihertz Titan 2.
What’s even shittier about this is that one major supermarket chain (LIDL) was sued by our consumer protection agency (“Verbraucherzentrale”) but the case was dismissed by the courts.
They have at least allowed a revision, so this will go to a higher court now which has to decide about it. I really hope all of those app discounts will be stopped.
I do admit that I run Win10 IOT in VirtualBox for a few small programs that won’t run under Wine.
I work in an ad agency and I have to use it, too, sometimes. Mainly for Adobe XD and Illustrator. I export their shitty proprietary formats to PDF and SVG, shut down the VM and continue working with native Linux tools.
This guy assassinates.
I like having to put “site:reddit.com” at the end of my search query before I can even begin to scratch the surface of the issue.
kagi.com solved this problem for me.
Ungrouped buttons with titles is very efficient for me, too. I grew up with Windows 95 (that was the default behaviour back then) and my brain can handle this really well. I despise grouped buttons I have to hover over to see the actual windows and the icons only mode makes the clickable area too small and annoying to navigate to.
digikam, it’s a really great alternative to Adobe Lightroom.
But it is kinda funny a propaganda post gets titled “So easily fooled”. How ironic.
Well, it’s really easy to play DVD’s and pretty much every video file format on earth (including relatively modern Dolby Vision .mkv’s) if you use the rpmfusion repos and follow the Multimedia tutorial.
But you have to know that it even exists and have to actively download two packages to enable rpmfusion on Fedora, which always felt extra unneccessary. Flathub is at least included by default now and can be ticked with a checkbox.
Apart from that fuckery, I never had any problems with dnf. It just works, and it’s pretty fast. Especially compared to Windows Update. Low bar, I know. :D
I’ll go to the cinema, The Physician II comes out on the 25th.
I’m the IT admin, so I can run whatever I want. As long as the work gets done, I could even run TempleOS on my machine. 😀
I stay off the internet more and only try to read terrible news about the world once a week. There’s always a war somewhere on the world that I can’t do anything about, so I don’t have to read about it every day.
I also bought an eBook-Reader without WiFi and I started reading books again.
It’s good.
struthless’ video about suicide was absolutely amazing.
The BIOS on some old Thinkpads has a bird flapping its wings as a mouse cursor.
My 560X from 1998 has one of those BIOSes, too.
Oh, absolutely! I loved Aero on Windows Vista and 7. :)
I don’t think it’ll be shit, but they don’t talk about RAM at all while revealing all other specs. Given current RAM pricing it seems like they’re still trying to make a good deal on that, which will ultimately decide how much RAM customers get. It probably won’t be a lot.
Unihertz put in 12GB into the Titan 2, good luck trying to match that now.
