Good news is that there are alternative ways to download these books from Amazon for backup purposes. It’s not as straightforward but it’s doable.

That said I will be refusing to buy from any storefront that doesn’t offer a way to download my books. Even adobe digital editions is a viable alternative.

From the sounds of it, better collaboration and sharing of projects.

Cloud storage for Autodesk Fusion 360 from the looks of it. TBH it’s hard to even google.

My solution to this was to back up all my projects so I have a local copy, and move to FreeCAD. I’m tired of Autodesk changing the deal every year or so.

I agree, however if the price is making your nervous try a Factory Seconds Framework. We noticed no issues with on our end and it’s cheaper.

Sure you get a 11th gen Intel, but the performance is still good enough for indi games and more than enough for surfing the web

Nope, but if you resub you’ll get the games back.

I read the manual for my cars radio. It has a max file size limit of like 256 songs or so per folder. But it can also accept 256 folders.

So if your cars is anything like mine you can probably play your songs just by splitting them up into more folders.

Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I don’t know what the buttons are, by my muscle memory is so ingrained that if I start it I can usually get it after 1/2 attempts. Even if I haven’t touched the games in years.

Live ISO FTW

I had this discussion (read argument) back on reddit a while back. And it’s about 15 to 20 years or at the time people were calling PS1/N64 Retro during the PS3 era.

By my math systems like the PS3 and Xbox 360 are now “retro”, at least for some kids. I defiantly feel dated when some kid shows up on a PSP thread going on about their Dad’s old PSP. And it’s weird to think that the Vita and 3DS are about to fall into that camp.

You can I just wish it was accessible on the GUI.

We both switch years ago on our laptops when Windows 11 became the default windows. Linux Mint ftw

The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening

Hyper Stone Heist FTW

Honestly I like the convenience and not having to mess around with fan patches and mods to just get the game to run well. Especially on Linux running these versions of the games is painless.

Ummm… no. Outside of the Ikea DLC for Sims 2, they include all the DLC with the price.

Just going to add, flatpaks have a hard time picking up controllers at least if you are using remote play. Would strongly recommend the deb

So I have a Framework 13 AMD with Mint. Framework on older firmware isn’t the best, but with Mint 22 and by extension 24.04 it’s fine.

Got mine back in December and had no issues with the installation process. Games play fine though the fan goes to 100% after a bit. But with power profile in 22.1 it can quiet the machine down.

Other than that and the occasional hiccup. Compared to other laptops it’s the best machine I’ve used. So far no issues with only a few times of opening the terminal to fix minor issues.

I like collecting games for 2 reasons

1. I like the games. Just having a physical copy is nice to have for the box and game art alone.

2. so that I own a licensed and can backup the game before it dies. Since even if the game dies I still legally have a playable copy of the game.

I’ve been using smart watches since the Pebble Time Steel. The reason I use a smart watch is to get off my phone more.

I use it to screen important notifications, read messages, and to tell the time.

It’s a niche use case but I find it helpful especially at work to see what’s happening without pulling it out.

That said my poor pebble isn’t used much these days, and I’ve moved to Garmin. These have always on reflective displays like e-paper that sips batteries. Plus I’ve been using my garmin to track my exercise which is nice.

Definitely cant recommend the more battery sensitive Apple Watch or the Samsung or google equivalent. But if it lasts 1-2 weeks on a single charge with the screen always showing the time, it’s better than a contemporary watch.
