Kinda feel like they’re burying the lede on the whole Hitler shitstache situation. That seems worse than any toilet bowl and brush licking.

The framework 13 is around a grand pre built and around 900 if you have a spare SSD and SODIMM modules laying around.

I feel like an i3 or Celeron is not really a fair comparison. The framework machines are quite powerful and they’re targeting the prosumer/workstation market.

In the case of sustainability you do not have to trash the parts on upgrade. Framework sells cases to repurpose the main board as a PC/server. You could also buy a shell and create a second laptop. When it comes to throwing out parts on repair or upgrade you are throwing out less overall.

It’s also a fairly new company so between that and the market they’re targeting the products are fairly expensive. Further down the line they could become much more affordable as the company scales. But yeah it does not sound like Framework laptops are a good fit for you right now.

I know I went back to some older lighter titles on the steamdeck. People might just be wanting to experience Hades and Isaac on a handheld.

There’s a degree of meta progression to the enjoyable part of the game which is creating crazy joker combos, unlocking interesting decks, and watching the numbers go up. It only happens a little while into the game after what is essentially an extended tutorial. At first I thought it was too hard and kinda sucked until I unlocked more stuff and it clicked, now I have 60 hours in the game.

The SSD is super easy to replace if you ever feel like 64gb is too small.

Watch porn. But seriously what do you need that much storage for.

As a nevernude I prefer no holes bared

I currently use gandi but I’m planning on moving to cloudflare. Not in too much of a rush since I did a 10 year lease.

Yeah the big issue I’ve had lately is remote play together, but I can’t tell if it’s the Internet connection or buggy software. It just keeps dropping out and the streaming option doesn’t work; which would be nice because discord doesn’t stream well in gamescope mode. Some of the recent updates were targeting it but no luck.

I use the SD daily and dock it from time to time to play with my family with knockoff pro controllers. I haven’t experienced any drops and I had the straight at the ground issue maybe like a year ago but haven’t had any issues with it in a long time. Can’t speak to any performance issues but I can confirm that the product has been getting refined.

I’ll second this. Swapping out the SSD took me like 30 minutes.

• Backpack battles
• Noita
• Broforce
• Baba is you
• Shattered pixel dungeon
• Caves of Qud
• Barony (maybe)
• Snake farm
• Snood

Yeah, shutdown /s /t $time_seconds

Even if they didn’t block it is it worth the risk? Sending mystery traffic home over a government network is always gonna be sus.

Your best bet is getting a platform your can sideload apps onto and running SmartTube

AdGuard Home and blocky are other popular options. I switched over to AdGuard Home a while back because it supported DNS over HTTPS although I’m not sure if that’s still a relevant reason. I run AGH as a docker container but it is easy to run in a LXC or VM. There’s also a tool to sync configs if you need multiple instances. Notice: AGH block lists are formatted like uBlock Origin lists so you will not be able to use PiHole style lists.

DNS based ad blockers won’t work when ads are served from the same place as the content. Which is why DNS based ad blockers don’t work against Twitch or YouTube. So YMMV.

If you’re looking to block interface ads and select streaming service ads there are block lists available like this one. The game with smart TVs is blocking the ads breaks the TV a little because sometimes it calls back to the same servers for updates and misc info like weather.

Get screwed choom

It’s not very expandable and very underpowered but I’ve been using an Odroid HC-4 with Armbian and a separate compute server for a while. It’s a decent budget option.

This is an aside, but I also want to give Proton points for their calendar app. I used to use Gsuite and Google calendar and no matter what I did it always opened in agenda mode. The Proton calendar has all the features of Google calendar (as far as I can tell) but their app has an option for default display mode. That brought me incredible joy.
