From personal experience, many apps work suprisingly well on Phosh. The thing keeping me from using a Droidian phone with Phosh was a seemingly device-specific issue with answering…

This a link to an article that takes place in the Fallout Universe. I hope that the year in brackets shows well enough that posting this is just a joke in connection with current e…

Droidian[0] currently supports a relatively new Motorola phone[1]. A Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 device, so the performance isn't bad, and most features seem to work, including Waydroid. I…

Thanks for this! Haven't heard of this agent yet, but it really seems promising.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I must add this: when we work and focus, especially when using digital screens, we tend to blink a lot less frequently. If tear composition is n…

I got a PSP-3000 during high school, and loved it. In addition to playing native and PS1 games, it was a very powerful media player as well. Much more versatile than most phones at…

There were some games that had a feature called game sharing. This let you send a smaller version of the game, essentially a demo, to another PSP over wifi, and this let you at lea…

Despite the limitations, many games pulled off amazing graphics. Many in the thread compare it to the PS2, but that's unfair. Doing better than PS1 graphics in a handheld was quite…

I'm impressed! Bloodlines was the only AC I've ever finished completely, and even though the story was odd at some points, I found the gameplay and the graphics to be spot on for t…

Tell us more! I still beleieve that the PSP is a killer platform, those games are beautiful with 60 fps mods at high resolutions. I never really stopped playing them, just moved th…

I can add that Linux is also pretty solid on Asus machines well, despite the company actively advocating for MS on their sites. I have an old G46, some i7-1065 Zenbook Flip, and a …

Exactly! The Minimal Phone[0] seems to be headed in a better direction in this sense, as the 'limitation' of that device is the screen being eink, but the OS is more or less vanila…

I'm really looking forward to this phone. However, their limited take on Android is very limiting, as a phone often needs to be at least a 2FA device as well. Without some support …

If you need to enter the BIOS: bring up the terminal, and write `systemctl reboot --firmware-setup` This reboots systemd-powered systems to the UEFI menu. May not work on other ini…

As others have already stated, without either actual paying users (not the celebrities) or some form of advertising costs can become very high quite fast. Even though you are again…

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I must add COSMIC here, as most comparisons seem to occur between GNOME and KDE. I've used the former for years, but slowly realized that needin…

Yes, a similar pattern can be seen in Toyotas, where the RAV4 became enormous, and the C-HR filled the gap of a similarly sized SUV. No. 1940[0] from xkcd comes to mind. [0] https:…

This is an awesome library. I've used it for multiple, mostly internal tools. The more complex one were a tool for cardiac action potential analysis and another for the evaluation …

I used to work with a cardiac electrophysiology group. The software used for acquisition and analysis was quite old, written for DOS back in the mid-1990s. At acquisition, files we…

Reminds me of an Asimov short story where the world's whole economy was managed by four supercomputers [0]. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evitable_Conflict

Exactly, came here to write this. Disclosing the contribution of ChatGPT is quite important though from a transparency standpoint. I wouldn't mind seeing it in the methods section …
