Watch it every year. Something of a tradition for me now!
It's your lucky day! Invest it on a lotto ticket 😂
I quite fancy giving Monk a go. Looks interesting, and different to what I tend to go for. I'm purposely skipping early access and waiting for the full release. Can't wait!
Those boys look like they've been through it! Great job!
Right front. I only carry a small card wallet so both go in together fine. Keys and other scratchy stuff in the left.
I love your comment about happiness not being a contest. I have always bought in to the idea that happiness is a choice, you decide what's important to you and if you're getting those things then be happy! Don't worry about everyone else comparing themselves to each other endlessly, that is the road to madness 🙂
I've got my own XMPP server running on a raspberry pi so that I can have a safe chat app with my kids. I didn't want to expose them to the wider world at their age, but it's great to have a chat / video calling app that's all routed through my private kit. So now when they're ignoring my messages I know that they 100% safe online 🤣
Loving the primary colour option! The default was the only thing I wasn't keen on in the app, and now I can jazz it up as I see fit. Awesome! Keep up the fine work 😎
Side by side pic here. I was quite surprised at just how small this thing is, and if the Miyoo is even smaller, I'm glad I opted for this!
Hundreds, if not thousands, across all kinds of retro consoles! Atari all the way through Gameboys, NES up to PS1. The default OS seems ok, but I only tried it briefly before switching over to GarlicOS which everyone seemed to be keen on. This guide was super helpful in getting me started.
I picked mine up from Amazon for £80 with next day delivery. Loving everything about it so far.
RG35XX - This is amazing!
Just got this bad boy yesterday and I'm like a kid at Christmas! 😄 The delight I felt firing up my old love, Desert Strike... Goosebumps! Seriously impressed with this bit of kit, and I'm enjoying exploring the options as much as the many many games! The effort put in by the community with GarlicOS and the ROM packs is simply magnificent.
I'm a RIF widower... I'm finding Liftoff to be a great mobile app. It doesn't seem to get much love but it's stable, easy to use and actively developed. I'm feeling right at home with it 🙂
Light Years Ahead | The 1969 Apollo Guidance Computer
Fascinating video for those interested in more details about the computer technology behind the moon landings :)
I was curious and so just bought a small spooll of JAYO TPU Flexible Filament form Amazon. Works fairly well on my stock Ender 3. I get usable prints, if perhaps not the highest quality. But that's with zero tuning other than bed and nozzle temps.
Open Beta Update 22-June-2023
Early Access Launch of the DCS: F-15E by RAZBAM
DCS: F-15E Top Tips Radar channels are modelled, so if in MP all are close together and on channel A, then they will see interference that looks like jamming on the radar - they need to deconflict channels. PACS - All none smart weapons have to be manually input into the jet on each in game rearm. Mic switch needs to be set to "on" to communicate with ground crew - default it is off. A/P button on the UFC keypad not only shows the autopilot menu, but also enables autopilot. If they want to just look at the menu, then use the UFC PB9 from the main menu. (This is correct behaviour) LANTIRN pod will prohibit laser use above 25kft - intended behaviour. LANTIRN Pod has only FLIR function, no CCD/TV. There is an option in F-15E special options to set how many processor cores are used for the radar - adjusting this will help with FPS issues. Cold Start - Apply the parking brake before setting INS to ALIGN, otherwise the process may fail. Avoid rearming whilst alignment is in progress.
DCS: F-15E by RAZBAM - Known Issues Bombs dropped in AUTO mode can land long of target for wings level release. It is recommended to do a dive bombing for improved accuracy. CBUs can open prematurely, specially if dropped above 1500 ft AGL HUD Repeater in MPCD sometimes not visible MFD exports not yet implemented Volume control for TEWS & TACAN WIP WSO HOTAS commands WIP AA/AG Gun piper aims high. Some items on UFC not synced between front and back cockpit - WIP Cockpit Mirrors not symmetrical Rear cockpit MFD displays cannot be programmed. It is not possible to change the GBUs laser code with the kneeboard. Sometimes PACS does not automatically recognize a weapons load. It must be manually entered. GUARD is not monitored when selected in the Presets and active mode is Manual Frequency Using AG Radar HRM mode can cause a drop in FPS during the image digitalization phase. This depends on the running computer specs. Very Rarely, when using AG Radar, DCS will freeze for a second while checking the terrain. This depends on the running computer specs. It is recommended to use the AG radar with DCS MT. AI wingmen will attack with gun only despite having more relevant ordnance. Dumping fuel will cause fuel totalizer to read 0.

Oh man, so true! Most threads got so predictable... And many threads very quickly degenerated into a slanging match not even related to the original topic. I like it here :)
Personally I've found the Lemmy experience perfectly ok. I went from never having heard of it to being up and running and having the general gist of it in about 30 minutes. Is it a commercial grade polished product? No. But it works just fine, gives me content to browse, and isn't some horrible humanity grinder in search of profit. If people keep joining the content will follow, just need to be patient and contribute (note to self, I should post something instead of lurking).
As some others have mentioned elsewhere having a slight barrier to entry might slow down the influencers migrating over too. We can but hope.
