I can't directly compare, but I really like my Boox Go6. It runs Android, so you can install regular Android apps on it. I use Koreader as my ebook app, and I manage my library manually. I buy all my ebooks DRM-free so I just drop them into a folder (and I sync that folder to my computer and phone using Syncthing, which took a lot of manual setup but works great).

The rear scanner on my old Pixel 2 was so much faster and more reliable than any under-screen sensor I've ever used.

I don't know why they can't just stick with what works. It's been over 5 years since under-screen sensors hit the market and they're still worse than their predecessors.

Are those odd choices? My knowledge of emulators is more outdated than OP's hardware.

Y'all muthafuckas need Leonard.

Agreed, seems weird. But I'm optimistic when a series ending is announced well in advance. It means they'll have time to finish it properly instead of hedging their bets, uncertain if they'll be renewed.

They actually want to increase what can be done in user mode, to reduce reliance on kernel mode code.

That's basically what Apple did with macOS 11. They deprecated kernel extensions and replaced them with "system extensions", and created new APIs so security tools, VPNs and such could function without kernel-level privileges.

Yeah, I don't need 1440p in handheld mode. It supports 4K in docked mode and that's good enough for me.

I'm still skeptical of the overall performance but we'll see. The Switch aged poorly and I'm afraid the Switch 2 will be similar. I don't want to see first-party games throttling to 20fps in 5 years.

Absolutely wild that this is not included with the console. Especially after Sony included Astro's Playroom on every PS5.

mpv still works.

I love this font. I set my web browser to use it and prevent sites from choosing their own fonts. Some poorly-designed sites have layout issues without their preferred fonts but I don't care. I do too much technical work to tolerate glyph ambiguity. I use the mono version in my terminal as well.

If anyone knows a similar font with serifs, I'd love to hear. I tried this on my e-reader but wound up reverting to serifs. It just didn't feel right.

To add to this, it is literally impossible to capture 100% of wind power, even in theory, because that would mean bringing the air to a full stop, halting flow. The air must retain some of its energy to continue moving through the system. The theoretical maximum is a little under 60% according to Betz's Law. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz%27s_law

Let me put it this way: I audit open source software more than I audit closed source software.

Edit: This appears to have been fixed already with another backend update. Leaving the post below as-is.

Current version in the footer: UI: 0.19.0-rc.11 BE: 0.19.0-rc.10

Starting today, most image thumbnails and pictrs links will not load. I tried clearing cookies and I tried in three different browser engines (Firefox, Chromium, Safari).

If I try to open one of the image URLs directly in my browser, it shows {"error":"auth_cookie_insecure"}.

Interestingly, images will load correctly if I am NOT logged in. Why are the pictrs URLs even checking cookies when they do not require auth? Is that new behavior in this version of Lemmy?

Here is an example post: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/8482278

And an example direct image URL from that post: https://lemmy.sdf.org/pictrs/image/c8556f4f-d33c-4cac-86f3-975726ea69ec.png

I am interested to know if others are seeing the same issue. I have not exhaustively tested different cookies settings in my browsers, so it's possible some anti-tracking privacy settings are interfering with this behavior.

Worth noting is that the Eternity app on my phone continues to work. I did not even need to log out and back in today, like I did in my browsers.

 

That is all.
