Maybe I'm in the minority (doubtful since the switch is super popular) but I don't need the Switch2 to be better than current/next gen as far as hardware goes. It's portability, flexibility and funativity are what sells the thing for me. I've got a PC if I want to play fancy pants AAA games. One day, I'll probably have a Steam Deck. I like playing Zelda and Mario, etc. on my Switch like it's a the Super-Mega-Gameboy that I dreamed about as a youth. I sometimes play it docked, but probably 80+% of my game time on it is in handheld mode.

If the Switch 2 was basically a PS5-esque console (non-mobile, regular console), I'm sure I'll eventually pick one up to play Nintendo exclusives, but mostly that would just hasten my purchase of a Steam Deck.

My wife was a bone conduction earphone candidate for multiple reasons and I convinced her to try some. Her first pair from Shokz died relatively quickly, but they sent her a replacement without much hassle. She likes them a lot. Every now and then I steal them for a bit. I call it the "voice of god" because when you play something through them it's like telepathy. You can hear the outside unimpeded, but there's also this extra sound being injected into your head. Would recommend.

TLDR: do memtest on your RAM

I recently had an issue for quite some time where my computer would occasionally just hard crash. When it first started happening I tried many of the common tests including memcheck but found nothing. For a while it wasnt super common so I just lived through it. I thought it was an OS thing but it occurred on a different Linux distro and even on the ancient Windows 10 install I have but rarely use. I was just about to pull the trigger on replacing mobo and maybe even CPU+RAM. Before I did that I followed someone's suggestion to do a mem test. I could have at least sworn that I already did that and it came clean but it was an easy enough test to run, so why not.

Sure enough, found an error. I isolated the faulted DIMM, pulled it out and I haven't had a crash since. Crazy since I'm all but certain I did both memtest from a Linux live iso and the Windows memory checking utility.

In short, test your RAM. Do multiple passes. Maybe even just try swapping out single DIMMs and running on that for a reasonable ammount of time to see if you can isolate a culprit. It was my first thought when the issue first occurred because it's usually what causes stuff like that. When the tests came up clean originally I assumed it had to be something else. I was wrong.

You're on the same wavelength as me. My ideal product is an e-ink display to stick in the kitchen or some other high traffic area to display relevant family information and with touch controls to do some fairly basic things like toggle digital switches/dials or just switch to alternative dashboards. If I could find a touch-enabled e-ink display that's a good size but not stupid expensive (keeping in mind this is absolutely a luxury item so I'm not looking to shell out any significant volume of monies on the thing), I could attach one to a Pi and make one myself.

...I used to be cruel to my woman and beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved...

I'm assuming it's that one. I'm not a Beatles historian so maybe I've missed the mark. But hey, gotta admit it's getting better

As someone who has beaten that game probably in the double digits, I'm pretty sure the next few words are "out of it". The start of the game/intro you're unconscious from a shipwreck.

I would just append that judging people is a good thing, often blanket misinterpreted as a bad thing. You should make an initial judgement upon meeting someone (it doesn't really matter, your subconscious will anyway). The important part is being willing to update that judgement based on learning more.

Subbed. Just curious as to how (or if) you intend to differentiate yourself from the Jupiter Broadcasting team's Selfhosted.show podcast?

in fstab, there's a nofail option that I started using when mounting NFS and other disks that may be missing and I don't want to kill my bootup

Plex probably isn't the best example, but yes, you can use Tailscale to create a sort of mesh network to access devices within private networks. Essentially any device that's connected to tailscale can be contacted by other clients connected to tailscale. There are extra routing things you can do to use a tailscale device as a sort of "exit node", but that's the basic gist.

Not OP, but I have two because there was too much contention on a single household switch. My household collectively also owns/owned 2xWii and 1xWiiU.

I too hope that lots of refugees seek shelter here. That sub was one of the biggest lures for me to reddit. Or at least the most useful. The niche system subs will be hard or at least take longer to replicate here, but this community is an important start.

Pinetime isn't the most robust of smartwatches, but I would say it fits the bill.

This is an interesting tool that I'm going to back pocket, so thanks for that. That being said, any trackers and such on Bitwarden.com root page isn't really indicative of the real product, though I'll say it reflects poorly. That page basically is a sales pitch put together by probably a completely separate marketing team.

I happened to launch steam yesterday (had a hankering to play portal) and noticed some UI changes. Didn't look too hard but seems nice. Will have to dig into the hardware acceleration options.

Pretty much. I'm not going to pretend I'll never use/view reddit again, but it'll be little more than something like stackoverflow, where if they have the specific information I'm looking for I'll visit, but I'll likely not return to the "homepage", or not with any frequency.

It's only been around for less than a year as far as I'm aware and from what I gather still seems to be finding its sea legs as far as balancing between what rolls in immediately(ish) and what comes in through the big "tumbles"

The science is neat, but (at least anecdotally) I can usually get the water out by doing the side head jumping. I suspect they're not really taking into account that the water is probably usually right near the entrance/exit of the canal and not deep inside
