Well this looks awesome.

I have a sound joke but you can’t hear it

Well it’s a little complicated. Tolkien wrote it as one novel, which contained 6 books + appendices. But the publisher didn’t want to publish a 1200 page (iirc) book, so they made him divide it into 3 volumes, each containing 2 books, and then they titled them to be what we know them as.

Fun fact, the only title he wasn’t happy with was The Return of the King, because it gave away what happens in the book.

I’m partial to The Two Towers because Helms Deep is amazing and it blew my 9 year old mind when I saw it in theaters. But they’re all fantastic movies.

Oh I know, I’m talking about the same thing. It usually happens to me when I’m sitting in my simracing rig which is next to my PC and a window. I’ll be worried thinking my GPU or wheelbase has started burning when in reality it’s an overheated car radiator or something right out my window.

Happens to me once every few months. It always turns out to be a smell from outside that’s made its way into my apartment. Usually someone’s beat-up, overheating car being parked under my window.

Spectrum? I’ve got the same plan. Sucks because I have trouble streaming my Plex server outside of my apartment. And when I work from home uploads take forever.

Is this a reputable brand? Never heard of them before. I’m thinking about replacing my 10" Kindle Fire because it lags a bit and struggles with the Crunchyroll app. I mostly use it for reading manga, and it’s great for that, but I’d like to be able to watch shows without any hiccups too. Wonder if the 11" of these would be a good replacement.

The only downside to using Firefox on Android is that Google search results can take forever to load unless you clear site cookies. And Google Image search is awful.

However that’s all fixed if you use Duck Duck Go instead.

The GPD Win isn’t really the same as these though. It’s trying to provide the most gaming performance possible in a tiny package. It’s a premium device, rather than a tiny, budget oriented laptop.

Very fun write-up! I love seeing comparisons between ports of older games. There was so much variation back then.

The PUBG strat

From what streamers have said, turn off V-Sync and all of the depth of field options and your FPS should vastly improve.

Got mine right after it released and I get the notification. As far as I remember I’ve always gotten it. But it doesn’t appear on your phone, just on the watch.

I agree that the battery life isn’t great, but that’s the only issue I have with it.

It won’t notify you when it’s getting close to dying (Why would you need that on a watch last lasts a day and a half?)

Mine vibrates and gives a notification when the battery hits 15% or something. Might be 10%. I largely get by with just charging it when I get ready in the morning. And the battery life has also gotten way better since release, some of the updates made a big difference. It’s gone from maybe getting a full workday to easily getting a day and a half now if I put it in night mode overnight.

Wear OS 4 also introduces the ability to transfer your Pixel Watch data to a new phone without a factory reset as well as a way to back up your data and settings from your Pixel Watch when you’re ready to upgrade to a new one.

Well that would have been really nice to have when I got a new phone last month. It was a huge pain to factory reset it and then set it all up again.

According to that link, more countries use MDY in some capacity than I thought. Magenta, Red, Dark Blue, and Grey on the map are all listed as using it in the table below.

I remember in high school a friend waited until 10/10/10 to ask a girl out so he’d never forget their anniversary. I think they dated for like a month lol

The negative reviews on Steam are hilarious. Most of them have 0.5 hours on record and are complaining that they can’t beat the first boss. Which means they most likely spent no more than 10 minutes trying.

Looks kind of like a mix between Dead Space and Death Stranding. I’m interested.
