Is… There still any ice in the Arctic?

Guess I was over thinking it? Elbows up to me says you’re going to take a body shot - elbows in is the coaching to tighten up your (boxing) guard.

Fists up or dukes up says get ready to fight (to me).

Is it not elbows in?

I like the idea of RetroDeck over EmuDeck, but a couple things hold me back.

1. When an emulator goes under (a la Yuzu) does it get removed from the RetroDeck package on the next update, or does the already installed emulator stay put?
2. Ryujinx has been declared legacy (no longer updated) as of RetroDeck 0.9b, but a fork of the project still continues to receive updates. EmuDeck’s Ryujinx pulls from this repo, where as RetroDeck’s source is dated. Is there a way to switch over within RetroDeck?

Sure, but what about when you use a laptop on your… Lap?

On a couch, bed, bus, plane, train, waiting room chair, etc.

I dunno how people can knock the option. I can’t stand using a laptop without a touchscreen.

Quick interaction with small elements at distances across the screen? Absolutely I’m preferring poking the screen over the touchpad.

I would never drop the touchpad in favour of a touchscreen, but I feel it when the touchscreen is missing.

I’d love to pick this back up

What is DoH?

I had no idea that Teksavvy passed these along. I thought they took a stance to ignore these.

I may be pulling out the wrong term, but:

The Nextcloud application on Windows shows the entire contents of your Nextcloud account in Windows Explorer, as if they were on your hard drive. They are indexed in search. When you access a file, it dynamically downloads that to your hard drive where it stays and is kept in sync with any changes on the server and the server is updated with any changes to the local file.

Maybe on demand file sync is a better term.

There are two things that hold me to Windows (10) as my daily driver: MS Office, and support for a virtual file synchronization a la Nextcloud (which I presume piggybacks off of what MS built for OneDrive.)

My secondary laptop, my 4 year old’s laptop, my gaming device (Steam deck), homelab, are all on Linux. It has been fun to learn Linux and it’s what I intend for my kid to grow up on.

Eventually, when I get a new laptop (current is 8 years old and I’m really hoping Framework gen 2 has a touchscreen) it’ll be Linux first… And I hope Nextcloud gets that virtual file sync going by then because a network share/WebDAV connection will make me sad.

What’s with some really scary companies (Anduril, Palantir) cribbing their names from LOTR?

I use a Radxa Rock 5B running an Android TV ROM. Sits in a 3D printed case and has a silent little Noctua fan keeping it cool. Could be better - the ROM has a little jank to it - but it has taken everything I’ve thrown at it so far.

Looks very nice. Also looks very pricey.

Ouch. No wonder this guy wants to defund the CBC.

Is there a reason why I see so many of the Amazon Prime free games getting posted here months after they became available?

I claimed this one mid December.

Not sure this was a Canadian win? We had to commit a billion to border security and USA had to commit to status quo for 30 days.

No, there’s a web installer than is run entirely on device.
