I mean, the 6a still has 3 years of support left so whilst it is older it is hardly at the end of its supported life.

Not everyone can change a battery in a phone, I can but I would still rather not do it on a phone that isn't really anything special and whilst yes they could feasibly last that long I think in practical everyday use application by the time you are getting to three years of daily use it will be beaten up and physically not in great shape any more for your average user.

What relevance does that have to what I said? If the physical phone isn't going to last that long then I'd argue it is of little importance.

These devices aren't even constructed to last 7 years. I don't see that either of those things are worth £600 personally.

Fuck all that noise, Pixel 6a + graphene £130. Why waste so much money!?

Meh. Skate made THPS feel like trash.

Each book is between around 5 and 7 hours sort of time so yeh, they are relatively short books and I am audio book only so i guess the speed of reading is average?

Sometimes I can listen to a whole one in a day at work.

As the other commenter mentioned you can add games to steam as a non steam game to launch it via that. With pirated games I'm more than happy to launch from an icon though, it isn't the actual method of launching that bothers me as much as it does making different bs accounts from these shitty companies.

Rockstar forces its own launcher if you want a legit copy but I'm guessing a pirate version will circumvent this.

Seen as they are adding a proper offline option, does anyone know if I can launch this straight from steam or do I need another shitty launcher with another account?

edit never mind it says requires 3rd party account, in which case even for such a price you can get fucked

Enjoy Lovecraft! I wish I could go back and read them for the first time again!

I've got a few more Deathlands books under my belt since last I posted, I think I'm up to number 11 now, still enjoying it quite a lot.

As a break however I started Gideon Sable: The Best Thing you can Steal by Simon R Green today. Haven't got very far in yet but have enjoyed the introduction to it.

Bird - Zero AM (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/bicycling@lemmy.world

After a conversation in this community and people showing off their bikes I wanted to share mine too. My Zero AM made by Bird.

Started like this in October -

Over the winter I stripped it down and painted it all myself in pink with a yellow pearl. Replaced a few bits that needed it like headset and BB and serviced everything else.

Current spec is:

XT group set with Raceface Aeffect cranks and Raceface Chester pedals.

DMR wingbars, grips and stem with a nukeproof headset and Rockshox Revelation upfront

Halo Vapour 50 rims with Maxxis Minion DHF 2.8 on the Front and Vittoria Mazza 2.6 on the rear

Generic dropper post and saddle.

I even colour coded my brake levers -

I'll post my commuter / training bike after I've given it a good clean next, if anyone is interested :)

383

Community about says mainly bird pictures so not sure if this is welcome or not but I don't have a more appropriate community saved and relevant content whilst the communities are still small I would imagine is welcome?

If not please remove or suggest somewhere it would be better posted :)

Personally I love to see someone downloading a shit load of stuff from me. Someone recently got a whole labels releases from me of over 30gb but that just tells me they have good taste in music as far as I'm concerned so I then explored their files and ended up getting a lot of interesting stuff in return.

I think these people with all their locked files asking for shit like gift vouchers in return for the privaledge of downloading a file from them are scummy, so the way you've approached it sounds great to me, you are sharing so grab whatever you need from people. Hopefully they will then explore your files and the cycle repeats!

If it is running over Wi-Fi it isn't really security, it is a toy. At the very best a visual deterrent for opportunistic people.
