Surely it’ll trickle down this time?

LGTVCompanion, probably.

This is so important, you gotta wash the print surface, not disinfect it.

Wiping it with alcohol is good and all, but it needs some dishwashing detergent and a soft sponge every now and then.

Where I work we went down to 60 days as of 01.01.2026, by end of year the plan is that no cert should be valid for more than 30 days.

I hate it please make it stop.

Oh yeah I could, I was more just interested in knowing if there was an automated selection process or something. Purely out of curiosity.

This is quite cool, but I see nothing on how the choice of cities to include was done?

In my case my city isn’t included, and the nearest city that is, is over 100km away on the other side of a mountain. The next one is about 500km away.

I also see plenty of smaller cities here in Norway than mine that are included, so this makes me think the selection of cities was probably made based on largest city within x radius. Would be neat to know how these selections were made.

Yeah, I’m not gonna buy something from outside of my country (Norway), our consumer protection laws are worth so much more to me.

And most of the savings get eaten up by import fees and VAT, it’d still be cheaper but I would lose out on 10 years of guarantee that trumps any warranty.

Harddrives too! I needed more drives for my NAS and looked at drives last week, noticed they’re all up almost 20% in price since summer… So I bought a single drive 5 days ago (18tb) for ~400 eur. That same drive is 610eur right now.

I bought a 1TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD one month ago, it has since tripled in price.

Apparently it’s a semi common thing for jewelry store workers to do.

You’re not thinking about when Microsoft bribed their way into them not switching by opening an office in the area?

There’s people running old raspberry pis with USB hard drives.

It’ll run on just about anything.

Though, you’ll only be able to stream original quality, no on the fly quality changes for low speed connections and such.

Yeah, you will have to send the dev the new trial ID for a re-activation.

That’s also why it’s costs more, because it’s more manual work for him.

It’s a chore, but really cool by the dev to offer it as an option for people with de-googled devices.

Nope. You can buy an infinite trial via the developers ko-fi!

There’s info about it on the symfonium forum.

Too bad it’s unusable if you’re like me and have huge playlists that you want to offline for shuffling due to spending long stretches of time without an Internet connection.

When I asked about this limitation, I was told that it was stupid to have such big playlists and needing to offline them because nobody is without Internet for long enough times for it to matter.

Great response from the developers that.

I’d suggest having a look into LinuxRuleZ! repacks, maybe not for lower performance devices but at least it’s like 2 clicks and you’re up and running for basically any game.

Even games that are notoriously difficult to make work pirated, like Forza Horizon 4 and 5.

At least you can play doom in a pdf.

I remember when we got a new deal with the ISP for my condo building (negotiate one deal for x amount of condos) and I could choose to have no TV channels but get gigabit for the same price.

It took about 2 weeks from when I got the gigabit before they called me asking for when a bit of downtime would be OK, as they needed to move me to a different switch at the node because I was consuming more bandwidth than the remaining 23 people connected combined, and it was messing with their QoS as they hadn’t planned for someone actually using their gigabit line lol

Great ISP though, sad they shut down their Usenet servers a couple years ago…

They talked about streaming VR games from the SteamOS based steam machine to it.

So with that I’d assume we’re finally getting some much needed progress to SteamVR on linux.

And: "cheaper than the index“ Sure that only means less than 1000usd (unless they mean the headset only price at 500…?) but that’s still better than I was assuming it’d be.

It is not
