What’s your opinion on abortion? If it’s a shitty one, would you consider leaving lemmy too? 😇

Windows security has alwaya been laughably bad, and usually just a scam to try to make it harder for users to use other operating systems.

“Vagus nerve stimulation,” new kink unlocked?

Nostalgia-bait isn’t going to make addictive social media go away, and these devices will probably end up with easily foiled workarounds to get to those services anyway.

Also, did Commodore even used to make flip phones? I had a legendary indestructible Nokia brick, Motorola flip phones, and one really shitty Samsung flip phone. I’d feel nostalgic for something from them if it had the same design (but not the shitty Samsung phone), not for a pseudo-oldschool actually-it’s-just-Android-but-less-functional phone.

I think that tagline is accurate in that the GBA did play a role in creating a pixel art renaissance. But at the same time I feel like there’s been a “flattening” of the art styles in a lot of pixel art moving from that point on, and sometimes it makes some pixel-based games feel like caricatures of their predecessors.

Apparently it’s going to be using the Qualcomm QCS8550 processor, which is functionally the same as the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 but without the 5g modem.

It will run Android, but it’s worth noting that Retroids have pretty much always been open to alternative os’s. It probably won’t be long before people can put Rocknix, Batocera, etc on it.

I’ve been wanting full fledged mobile Linux on these devices for a long time now. If I had the build skills and hardware for it, I would just see about getting Mobian, Droidian, Fedora, or PostmarketOS running on whatever devices I could.

Crazy meat lovers most certainly are that extreme. Addicts are at least a bit more likely to admit they have a problem.

True. Pretty much every time I get one, another comes out right after that makes me think I would have preferred the new one.

But part of it too is just experiencing them, finding out what does and doesn’t work so well, and narrowing down ideal ones. That is how the hoarding begins.

Yeahhh, I’ve always wanted a metal handheld anyway, so it’s fine.

I can’t wait!

Is Windows open-source yet? Then who cares?

I recently ordered an Anbernic RG 405m which occupies the same niche. Can’t decide if I’m regretting that decision yet, cause at first glance this new thing kind of looks like it might be what I was looking for. 🫠

This is how enshittification perpetuates.

If it’s not open source as much as reasonably possible, it’s ultimately no better than Android. Kind of annoyed that distinctions need to be made between “real” Linux and “fake” Linux.

I love what RetroFighters does, but I wish they would design their Dreamcast controller to fit a vmu, and add a second analog stick while they’re at it. Dreamcast still has so much homebrew potential, but the lack of dual analog inouts holds it back.

Gulikit ES Pro is easily my favorite Xbox-style controller. It’s almost identical to the Xbox Series controller, but everything about it is a little better. The dpad is as accurate and tactile, and not as loud. It uses tmr sticks.

It uses bluetooth for wireless, but it’s kind of miraculously low latency for being bluetooth, and rivals most 2.4 controllers in latency tests.

But to be fair I have never been able to bring myself to spend $200+ on a controller. This one is only $30.

It’s time to bring back this stuff!

This is also exactly my problem with minimalist systems. That, and things being hardcoded in a way I don’t like and not having any reasonable recourse to change it.

Some of these percentages are really depressing.

Came here to say something similar. Already deleted my account. This just reminds me not to browse either.
