As a non-user I’m now intrigued by it!

Eugh I’m overdue donating to them. I’ve done Wikipedia as I use it way more but this site is important and I think it’s time.

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting back into Linux for a while now. While I’m still on W10 I’m not rushing, and haven’t installed a TPM Module so Windows doesn’t force W11 on me yet, but when I have no choice that may push my hand. There’s some stuff I find easier on Windows but Linux has really caught up in the past 20 years and I reckon I could daily it in the coming years.

Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Normality all have vivid memories in my brain.

I ended up getting a Stadia Premiere Edition (Controller and a Chromecast Ultra) for £20 down from £70 and tried it for essentially free (Stadia Pro 12 months free).

The got £20 refunded when they wound down - announced 3/4 of the way through my Stadia trial.

So all free and got a long cabled USB-C charger, a newer Chromecast than my old one, which ended up on the 2nd TV, and a controller I can repurpose.

Wild.

I’ve been using Podcast Addict for years now. Dunno why people think they are bound to one thing when Android offers so many choices.

Now this would be useful.

Doubt it will ever get back to how it was with how easily they could be removed but there may be steps towards it https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/06/22/new-eu-law-to-force-smartphone-makers-to-build-easily-replaceable-batteries

Apparently just don’t cover it in foil.

EDIT: just realised that’s for turkey, so YMMV with chicken I dunno, I usually do a rack of lamb anyway lel

uBlock Origins should still be fine for me because I barely allow sites on a permanent basis (temp usually). And it just means more frequent extension updates rather than background filter list updates happening daily. I only really use Chrome Portable for one laptop. My main home desktop PC is running Firefox with Chrome and Edge as fallbacks if some sites struggle.

Ahh yes I remember it.

Have you tried Thorium? I’ve heard about it but not tried it.

Probably Dragon Dictate?

Did you find it…?

I love working from home. But I do go in more because it’s partly mandated but I take great flexibility with it. It genuinely helps me to be in a couple of days a week, but I’d like that to be my decision, not management. It isn’t the same for everyone either. Many roles are better off remote tbh. Our employer assesses category of work done and applies some full wfh where it makes sense, but some I feel get mischaracterised.

I only get 30gb (doubled to 60 due to my isp being in the same group as my mobile provider) but I get 75 country roaming. Been using it in Aus and NZ. Very handy.

I also get unlimited SMS and call minutes.

Interesting but should be baked in.
