Yeah stopped bothering with setting up the hour manually for these things… Every rainy or windy season my electricity is quite erratic.

I barely use YT on the desktop (mostly used with Smart Tube then YT Revanced) to even face these issues…

Glad to know the Ublock team is still fighting this as soon as possible.

They went to a subscription model for using the desktop app… If we could buy it at once as it was possible before I wouldn’t even be looking for alternatives, but I despise subscriptions.

Funnily enough (although I haven’t looked thoroughly) I couldn’t find a way for this yet 🏴‍☠️

This seems like a good solution, but I also see it is missing iOS in its supported devices so it would affect my setup.

macOS/Win10, iPad, Android mobile, Shield TV, Alexa.

I use the casting/BT audio workaround yeah, oh and the subpar Alexa Skill.

I wonder when they’ll have clients for desktop or other OS, that way I could ditch Pocket Casts.

What board games do you recommend?

Do you use voice chat with your friends playing online?

I know I fucking hate that, and they all follow that trend for views and shit, before it was genuine, now everything feels so fake, if you are gonna speak rude works do it, if you won’t don’t then, but don’t do lame censoring which does not help anyone but the algorithm.

I like to use Pluto TV m3u in Tivimate and my own curated content from Plex in there too with DizqueTV.

Ah, how to forget the first obstacle in my hobby self hosting projects, the damn CGNAT…

“Just open the wireguard port bruh”

No my friend, I don’t think that is gonna cut it.

(Thankfully Zerotier and Tailscale work for me).

Brand new word (well not actually, I read it before in another similar post, but you know what I mean).

Anything for Android/iOS?

I can’t recall the last time I used Spotify on desktop lol.

Wait, so we all hate, or should hate Spotify for the low support for artists, but now that I think about it, there is nothing stopping artists from putting their work in the other platforms as well, are they becoming more rich because of it and we just should go with whichever offers the best service for us?

Don’t be harsh on me, I am not defending Spotify at all, just a dumb realization while seeing this graph 😆

but Windows is so astonishingly terrible on handhelds

The way you are telling me this reminds me of the old HP windows laptops I used to use that their battery life did not even last 2 hours lol (I eventually got a MacBook Pro and that was a massive upgrade).

I still don’t picture windows doing that great with laptops (as in optimization), but I don’t know, I have seen very good laptops with good specs very recently that it could maybe make up for Windows being not optimized for anything.

I’m not sure what else they’d need to do. Other than still produce it, I suppose 😅

Yeah this is the part I’d be worried about if I get a Steam Deck and it has no successor 😅

often have worse frame pacing and battery life especially compared to the OLED model.

Yeah, honestly the fact that the Deck with less raw power leaves similar results is a huge positive point I guess, I honestly haven’t seen anyone complaining that much because of the performance issues.

And yeah, better battery life is always good in my book, I think other handhelds have a joke of battery life.

Huh, TIL the Pi had competition.

and will have the longest support.

I thought Valve wasn’t known for a long support for handheld, at least that is one comment a friend of mine said (that the Deck would be forgotten as the Steam controller).

I have neither and still find the Steam Deck more appealing for me.

Whiiiich, lends me to the next question, is the Steam Deck an inferior product compared to all the other existing PC handhelds? I mean we all know we have seen the Steam Deck basically created this new sector (inspired by the Switch), but I have seen lots of hate, or lots of praise towards it, by different users and I can’t exactly pinpoint which is the truth (it seems like the console wars of nowadays lol), at the point that all the praise the Steam Deck gets is a meme (I see this behavior on YT especially where this handhelds really show).

I still think the Steam Deck has the best price, but at the time I have enough income for getting one (and putting aside they don’t ship to Mexico) I think the market will have newer alternatives lol.

Which is pretty stupid because you’d think that it would be really logical to have a way to have plenty of storage for those flagship cameras which would fill that lame ass basic storage… I mean do those flagships have more than a TB of storage? I’d think not most models.

Ugh, I would not even use Android if I could not root…

I see what you mean, and this could be easily fixable with a toggle.
