My wife loves it, I hate it with passion.

Unless your kink is failure and incompetence I would not recommend

Does it give you multiple options for a route? Like fastest/using least petrol/no tolls, etc?

I am currently using Google maps and waze most of the time and tried Organic maps for a while for a more privacy focused option, but it only gives you one option, no alternatives of similar length/time.

Edit: nevermind, just downloaded it and it does offer alternatives. Looking good as well, will definitely test it, thank you!

Same with IKEA, even though you can look up the exact box sizes online there are still people trying to fit sofas into a Fiat 500.

Agree, also the franchise fatigue is strong with this one.

Still saving up for a sperm shaped helmet, to look extra ridiculous. I'm such a classic cyclist....

Sure thing, didn't mean to attack you. I was referring to the original poster as well, just saw your interpretation what the OP comment meant.

Thats the minority, also bike specific clothes make riding comfortable, and they are not more expensive then other specielized gear for any other sport. In the same time they are not mandatory, there are countless tests showing you can ride just as good in street clothes as in a bike kit. The issue comes when you want to go for a 1+ hour ride, especially in windy conditions and it gets uncomfortable.

Where you draw the line what sport gear is acceptable? Some people go to bars in football shirts or wear basketball gear as streatwear, skateboarding shoes, etc.

If someone openly hates a group of people, because they wear tight elastic clothing there are other problems in my opinion.

I can confirm that the majority if the cyclist community doesn't give a flying fuck about your opinion.

That title is not easy to decipher

 

This is just to share my experience with everyone, especially the people still undecided.

I was planning the switch for months, and finally had a couple hours undisturbed from the wife and the kids :)

It was a slightly rocky start, as my USB wifi receiver did not have native drivers, but with wired internet and the official Mint tutorial the rest of the transition was super smooth.

The OS install went flawlessly and within an hour I had all the basic programs, browser and utilities up and running. I love that I just download the app from the dedicated place, no pointless web surfing for the latest versions.

I backed up my steam folder (with the rest of my files of course), so after installing the steam client and some quick synchronization I had my installed games library back in minutes. I did some testing and everything works great. As I own a steam deck I already had some experience with games not running natively on Linux, but a saw many great tutorials for beginners. I cant wait to test out some more games!

Edit: thank you for all the positivity and great feedback! I know Lemmy users love Linux and I have to admit I feel a little bit more included :D

Who knows, maybe I will start warching Star Trek next...

 

I'm getting an android tablet soon (will be a present and a little birdie told it to me). Nothing fancy, just some mid-range 10 inch one with basic features. I'm planning to mainly use it for comic books, but while I'm at it might as well watch movies on it.

So my question is: any good setup/apps/guides for movie streaming or downloading I should know about? I don't have a home server, or anything, usually just torrent what I want on my desktop PC and watch it there, but I have zero experience with pirating movies on android.

I will definitely not use the tablet for social media, google services, etc so I can do with it whatever I want, it's purely for comics/ebooks/movies.

 

Hi Lemmings!

I have my Deck since March 2022. I was one of the fortunate ones to receive it quite soon.

Lately I noticed two things: The right joysticks movement is not as smooth as it was before and sometimes it makes a creaking noise.

The "A" button lost some of its resistance and become super sensitive in some games registering twice per button push. For example in a text heavy game I often skip dialogues because of this.

The device is in a perfect working order, no abuse, no damage, screen protector since day 1, protective skin applied, etc.

My question: Should I contact Valve and ask for a repair..

...or maybe try to get some nice replacement parts and upgrade the buttons and joysticks?

How does the available replacements compare to original parts? Are they an improvement? Or should I go the safe route and let Valve repair it for me?
