Yeah, bullshit patents.

I tried running the games that I need Windork for some time ago, but got fed up tweaking the stuff. I’ll give it a try soon.

Btw, I only do PC gaming, no consoles or mobile.

Easiest way to dual boot is 2 disks, with Linux and grub installed on 2nd disk, and BIOS set to boot to 2nd disk. That way Winblows thinks it is alone in the 1st disk of the system.

Even so had an issue a couple years back that Winblows messed up its own loader, by not placing the boot files in the reserved hidden partition but then configuring the boot as if it did… facepalm Took me a morning of trial and error figuring how Winblows boot to fix it…

Winblows is a cancer, but unfortunately it still is necessary for some gaming.

The RPi 5 SoC does not have VP9 hardware decoding which is necessary for YouTube videos. Anything above 1080p30 inside a window will suck.

Weird part is that RPi4 SoC has it.

Edit: confirmed by Raspberry Pi Foundation themselves, only hardware video decoder is HEVC.

Glad I don’t use Xitter.

The problem is that that hardware, and older, is still perfectly capable of preforming modern desktop tasks. I have a 12 year old Athlon FX 8320 with 32GB RAM that works great, not the most efficient processor in terms of energy but runs everything well, yet it’s not supported. Honestly I don’t give a shit about Winblows, I work with Linux (system administrator) and I only use Win10 for some gaming. That said, I have a newer Ryzen 9 5950X with 128GB RAM to work with virtualization, and it will stay on Win10 till no longer being sustainable.

Ah, the WIntel cartel is at it again. Planned obsolescence.

And now instead of stopping producing them, we will continue with the excuse ‘we have the cure for the disease!’

Windows guests also run fine on KVM, use the Virtio drivers from Fedora project.

Politicians being stupid and thick, as usual.

This can be replicated with off-the-shelf components and readily available software. The real issue is the low security of cars.

Also, a similar device with better capabilities is about to hit the market.

When the criminals wear badges.

There are several solutions but will be above the budget. Best solution is the Argon Eon case for the RPi 4. I’m waiting for a version for the RPi 5.

Can house the Pi and either 4x 2.5" drives or 2x 2.5" and 2x 3.5" drives, all SATA.

It’s called Parental Control software.

My Note 11 sits in a drawer waiting for a new ROM, probably Pixel Experience. Had it for 6 months, upgraded it to MIUI 14 and got so much fed up with the intrusiveness of the Xiaomi apps that I decided I had enough. Just to change the ringtone to a sound file I had to install a 3rd party app?! Default Xiaomi app wouldn’t give me option, kept pushing to use their sounds and download more with the Mi account… eff that! Kept trying to open web links with Mi Navigator, etc… got really fed up to the point I won’t buy another Xiaomi phone again. Experience got really worse from MIUI 12 I had in my Poco F1 to MIUI 14, really doing everything to bind you to their ecosystem. No, thank you!

Got a Moto G23 really cheap, with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, and despite the Google shit I’m happy. One of the best phones for the price you can get. Was 152€ delivered, decent performance and screen, only gripe I have with it is the brightness control under certain lighting conditions (eg, under a street lamp it tends to get dark if the phone is not exactly perpendicular to the light). Pratically stock Android, I can deal with the Google crap. Installed alternative apps for calendar, SMS, etc, working great now.

And neo-nazis, it seems. That’s what the PDs are filled with.

All your tracks are belong to us. /s

What a load of bullshit.

And this kind of shenanigans are why I don’t use any kind of paid streaming service… This and the crap that Sony pulled on buyers of content. Fuck 'em.

Have you read the Terms of Service of Google Drive for regular users?? You will give Google irrevocable and total rights on everything that is placed there for them to use as they see fit. It bewilders me how people still use that ‘service’…

Have a look at NewPipe app, might be of interest.
