I got a NexiGo portable gaming monitor that I'm pretty happy with. It is a 16 inch 2560x1600 display, 144Hz, and supports FreeSync. I got a bidirectional DisplayPort to USB C cable so that I could use it with my desktop for LAN parties and it's great. It has a built in flip-out kickstand, a folding magnetic cover, OK built in speakers (good enough to game with anyways), and can be powered via a second USB C port with an A to C cable. On a device that supports USB C video output like a laptop or Steam Deck it can run off a single cable but I mostly wanted it for my desktop.

When it first came out it had double steak, when it became a permanent item it was made smaller.

You can view WiFi passwords for saved networks on pretty much every OS. There's no reason to be secretive about entering WiFi passwords, at least to the people whose devices you're entering the password on.

LibreWolf on everything that supports it (Windows/Mac/Linux) and Fennec F Droid on Android.

Some of my favorites:

  • Chicken flatbread melt (like a taco but with a fluffy flatbread instead of a tortilla)
  • Beefy 5 layer burrito
  • Cantina Chicken Quesadilla
  • Breakfast Crunchwrap (preferably steak)

The Cantina Chicken Quesadilla is one of my favorite items lately. The new green sauce is pretty good too.

Please, get this garbage out of the kernel. If it isn't there to talk to hardware, third party code has no place in the kernel. The same shit that Crowdstrike did could easily happen with any of these useless anticheats.

The only mistake Billy made is giving anything to AdBlock Plus, the people who have sided WITH the ads, instead of uBlock Origin, the true MVPs of the ad blocking world. I guess uBlock doesn't accept donations unfortunately, but still, ABP is shady and I would not support them.

Recommendations and App Promotions sound an awful lot like ads to me. Showing me things I didn't ask for that you wish to sell me....that's called advertising and I don't care what dumb name you call it, they're still ads. Show me only what I actually want to see - the stuff I explicitly choose to pin to my personalized Start menu.

Fuck Riot. Never playing their games again. If you're going to have a shitty anticheat at least give people the option to play in anticheat disabled lobbies. Besides, they should be doing anticheat at the server level not spying on the boot sequence of client PCs. That shit is unnecessary for a fucking banking app let alone a goddamn game. It's just a game, let us enjoy it rather than making such a ridiculously over the top response to cheating.

Why support closed source software that hassles you when 7-zip is open source and works great?

Unlockable bootloader, removable battery, headphone jack, being assembled with SCREWS rather than GLUE.

I made this video discussing my thoughts on the OpenPleb initiative by Wendell of Level1Techs and Steve of Gamers Nexus. As the developer of OpenRGB, the OpenPleb initiative, which aims to work with hardware vendors to open up documentation for proprietary protocols used for consumer PC hardware, could be a massive boon for OpenRGB development as at the moment almost everything we add is reverse engineered. Having access to protocol documentation would improve the quality of our code and the efficiency in which we can release it.

For reference, I'd recommend watching Steve's original video here:

I posted this on /r/hardware because Steve's video got a lot of traction there, but I wasn't necessarily happy about posting on Reddit, so here it is for Lemmy.
