It's not "irregular", and it's been done before as protest. A Buddhist monk did it in the past to protest the slaughter of cattle.

They do like money, but Valve also loves providing a service to people.

Nobody uses Epic Games, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or Battle.net because they want to, they use it because they have to.

Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.

Does anyone know yet if long COVID is an auto-immune disease? I only assume it is but otherwise don't know.

That's what the 'Lockdown' feature on Pixel phones does.

Impossible to force a fingerprint or face scan because it asks the phone to only accept passcodes.

I do see it as a potential problem with moderation on Lemmy's end. You have all of the users from Threads interacting with Lemmy and Kbin users. It's possible there's an influx of accounts on here that are trolling, and it becomes unmanageable to moderate everything on Lemmy's side.

But Threads will have no problems with content moderation.

I travelled recently, and was filled with disgust when I was told to scan my boarding pass and look into the camera to get in line. I would have asked to go through an alternative line but didn't want to miss my flight.

What the fuck is wrong with people

I read somewhere that they will still be green. It's confirmed by Apple as well.

[–] hackitfast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah but it doesn't work on macOS, only Surface Pro and Raspberry Pi, and a few others I think.

The M2 chip is ARM, it just adds some hurdles. I think there's some work being done for dual-booting Linux on the M2 chip, but as for Windows you have to use Parallels in macOS.

Older Macs with Intel processors will of course run any OS no problem.

I just worry about driver support as I do for Lenovo. They're probably fine, but again, I haven't used a Dell in a while.

[–] hackitfast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Dell XPS might be good but I'm not sure, somehow I doubt it.

Macs of course will work properly, at the expense of having to use macOS.

My trio used to be Apple, Dell and Lenovo. But now it's Framework and Apple.

[–] hackitfast@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (18 children)

Lenovo is shit. They really aren't worth a damn anymore.

I've had fingerprint driver issues with my expensive Lenovo Yoga, and AHCI driver issues with an expensive Lenovo ThinkPad. Support is non existent, and if you do manage to find any help through their channels, they don't help and don't care.

My next laptop will be with Framework or some other company that doesn't try to screw me.

 

Hey guys!

It's almost time again for the latest and greatest iterations of Pixel devices, where Google will show off their newest hardware and software upgrades to the masses.

The event will debut on October 4th at 10 AM EST (https://dateful.com/convert/est-edt-eastern-time?t=10am&d=2023-10-04), showcasing what's to be the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and likely the Pixel Watch 2.

Rumors indicate signs pointing to a new Tensor chip in the Pixel devices, temperature sensors, Magic Audio removal features for video clips, and even a Qualcomm-based chip in the Pixel Watch 2.

Feel free to watch the event and sign up to be notified when it's live, at the following YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxlaUCJZ27E

See you all soon!

Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.::With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.

 

Looks like Google falls further behind as they fail to properly design and update newer iterations of Pixel phones. Rather than have a superior TSMC chip within the next 13 months, which would have a higher quality manufacturing process and significantly reduce power consumption, it looks like it'll be closer to 25 months if we're lucky.

 

Samsung phones have DeX widely available across their flagship devices, allowing users to plug their phones into a screen, connect a mouse and keyboard, and work as if it was a laptop or desktop PC.

Do you find features like this fitting into your workflow? How would you feel about a Google equivalent?

 

The Pixel 8 Pro includes generative AI features which allow it to do things like "SGE" and "Help me write" for apps such as Gmail.

The Pixel Watch 2 looks identical, with slightly different external features such as a modified crown, and potentially a slimmer build.
