The laptop is a Dell G15 5515 Ryzen Edition 3050-4GB | 5600H | 16GB 3200Mhz

The laptop has a 120Hz panel which is okay, but too small and awkward, I generally play on my mechanical keyboard in front of the monitor for better neck/joint support. I am happy with my overall setup, I would just like a full 120+ on the monitor and I have been watching HDR content scaled down via Plex to 8bit.

Both Bethesda & Blizzard needed some kind of change, I'm sure that in a decade we'll be regretting Microsoft's control of the market, but in the meantime at least those two companies might avoid ending up like Bungie.

The new 7840U AMD laptop processor has integrated graphics at a total 15W.

Our rollout was severely impacted by political interests, but the Australian government tackled this at a national level with building a National Broadband Wholesale network for all the ISP retailers to resell.

It was a lot easier however given how underfunded our existing monopoly telco left the old network.

Unfortunately Rupert Murdoch stated in New York to shareholders that the network would undercut their Australian business, they then used their 67% newspaper market share to back the opposing party and have them downgrade the rollout of the network from fibre to copper.

Now half the country can't get a full 100mbps and the upload isn't synchronous for 99% of households.

I meant in the case where it would be hurtful, obviously it wouldn't be reasonably hurtful to say it in a context which it isn't, that was the point of what I was saying.

I would say the same words if I had a reason to discuss whichever word, neither of us are directing it to a person with an explicit intent to cause harm.

It's a frequent occurrence in Reddit that I read a typed out "Letter-word", not knowing what swear/slur as the same letter could mean multiple different words in my regional English dialect.

What frustrates me is that words that could harm require effort to ensure the context is clear and respectful, people who just swap it with a Letter-word don't care enough to treat what they are saying with importance.

I've previously asked what a comments letter-word was referring to as I couldn't even find it via Google, the responses where downvotes and being told I should know what it means.

Hurtful words either shouldn't be said at all, or if being referred to need to be treated with delicacy and respect as if their harm matters, saying them while not saying them is the laziest and most disrespectful way of handling that.

I think there is more room with another Android based OS akin to FireOS, a fully Microsoft version of Android, with their desig language over top of what wouldn't need porting outside of Google based dependencies.

If your gaming is eSports, your battery life would benefit from an AMD iGPU rather than an NVIDIA GPU.

7840U for the CPU which is integrated graphics.

v2.0 is all well and good, but it's still 3 years after I bought it, not giving them the benefit of the doubt next time.

I've found Usenet backbone+indexer to be the same price as VPN while being significantly faster to download, no seeding required.

It allows more complicated setups like radarr+sonarr which download episodes as they come out, at around your internet speed.

Given the decline in service quality and the increase of 8.8 million subs in a quarter, they can continue being worse for more and the general public will support it.

The only thing I care about is quality shows being made from good networks, still getting their funding, but streamers are turning into trash TV from the 2000's.

It’s a great game and I’m so glad I finally got to play it.

I’m running a RTX 2070 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600 with 32 gigs of RAM. Using Xenia-Canary I could run the game at 1080p with decent framerate, but that caused some really unpleasant brightness issues at night, so I stuck with 720p and honestly stopped noticing the low resolution after a while. The game ran at a stable 60 all the way to the end and I encountered absolutely no issues besides some flickering shadows once or twice.

If you have a decent gaming PC and have never played the original RDR I strongly recommend you try this. It can be a bit of a faff to find what emulator settings work for you, but once you get it working properly, it’s an absolute blast. RDR still holds up really well in my opinion.

 

Let everyone know below a game (6+ months old), that you have played recently, are currently playing or intend to play soon. If it's currently on sale, a link to the sale & price would be great.

 
 
 
 

I'm looking for a a manga that came out in April 2009, It contains 4 different Star Trek TNG stories called;


  • Changeling

Picard assigns newly commissioned Ensign Wesley Crusher to his first away mission. What follows is an amusing lesson in humility for a newbie ensign who's just a little too full of himself. Stardate 43903.2 Trade paperback anthology of manga-style Star Trek: The Next Generation tales. Edited by Luis Reyes and Bryce P. Coleman. ISBN 9781427812728, 5 in X 7.5 in, 192pp, b&w.

  • Sensation

Answering a distress call from an archeological expedition, Crusher and Troi must find the cause of a disease affecting expedition staff that ultimately begins to spread among the crew of the Enterprise. Stardate 44389.2

  • The Picardian Knot

The captain's emotional state is in question following an aborted assassination attempt by a Romulan officer. Stardate 43920.9

  • Loyalty

While Picard is recuperating from his assimilation by the Borg, Riker is called to a secret meeting. Senior Starfleet officers want to sideline Picard and put Riker in command of the Enterprise. The first officer mounts an emotional defense of his captain, with some surprising help from Commander Shelby. Stardate 44012.3


There was also an October 2020 reprint called Star Trek: The Manga - Boukenshin.

Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection Volume 135. Hardcover reprint published in the UK.

More information about it is here & here here.


I have looked at GetComics & LibGen, neither have it, libgen has only a single 2006 TOS manga. I have a usenet subscription if that is helpful. As per the instance rules, I'm not looking for a specific link, I should be able to figure what direction to look next with a point in the right direction.

 

Another week, another recommendations thread.

Does this apply at all to Lemmy users, or is this just internal?

 

Currently I have my services accessible through subdomains, with account password protection, my only experiences building websites is Google Pages and Geocities (20 years ago).

All I really need is a single linktree style landing page for my root domain, to hyperlink each of my subdomain services.

Each of my rr web ui has their own account/password setup, but I would like my landing page to also be behind a login form, preferably were I make the user/password manually.

I'm happy to either self-host the page or run it off something free like github pages.

My domain is registered via porkbun, with cloudflare managing the DNS, cloudflared tunnel routing the subdomains to their respective local ports.

I haven't been able to use my root domain via this method, which is why I am open to something like github pages to host the single page securely.

I've been looking up articles and reddit posts for weeks, but I'm not experienced enough in the matter to know where I should be looking or what I should be looking for.
