Almost always digital on my tablet or phone these days (I have a Kindle too but just can't get used to the display), but I'll buy physical copies to keep and/or give away if I really like them.

...there's an "AITA" bot

That's ridiculous. Wonder if there's a r/roastme bot somewhere.

nods I used to sleep with the door shut and locked, and the home alarm on whenever I was out. That's no longer true ever since the queen demanded that I do neither.

Just finished Death Stranding. It's mostly great but somehow crashed a fair bit halfway through the game. No issues or whatsoever in early and late to end game.

I've spent enough time on GR to see how it's held together by duct tape and inertia

GR has always felt like this to me, a legacy app that barely changes with time. I still use it simply for checking general ratings and keeping track of what I've read, but I'm old school I guess. What do people actually use them for other than these purposes? I had been using Reddit for book recommendations for as long I can remember.

Hmmm I've never used Fen so I'm not sure if it works without premium services, but it sounds like RD isn't working. Did you check if the files that are showing are from RD? It's highly unlikely that the latest John Wick only comes in 4K. I recommend trying Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid, the UI is just so much better and addons a lot easier to install than Kodi. Also I'm using my old laptop instead of Android boxes. It's a lot faster plus it circumvents the issue of sharing Netflix with someone not from the same household.

This is the second time JSAUX backplate gets recommended here. I'm definitely checking it out. Thanks for that!

Thanks for the input. What do you think of something like this?

I just got the dock for it, I am a little concerned I'll notice any performance issues more when hooked up to a large screen.

I've been using it predominantly docked and the performance is quite decent. A few tips:

  • You can use the streaming function if you have a decent PC.
  • Set device resolution to the resolution you want the game to be playing in. E.g. 1080p or 4k, then set the native in game resolution to something lower. Next, set your scaling filter to FSR instead of Linear. This will scale up the in game resolution to device resolution without sacrificing the internal memory and heating up the hardware.
  • Make sure you set your TV to game mode to reduce input lag for controllers.

Aussie here. They have the right to go through all your devices if they suspect you of smuggling or working or wanting to work illegally in Australia. They will read through all your private messages and have them translated if not in English. Even then I've never heard of airport security giving a rat's ass about pirated stuff.

The spirit of Reddit lives on

!holup@lemmy.world I believe. Hardly any content though. Guess it's time I do my part again.
