I think not being dockable killed it for most people, that and it not being a pocket system. I think if either of those changes the for the better it would sell well. If it doesn’t fit in my pocket I might as well get the big one that docks so I can play on the TV when I’m in the mood.
I have a feeling that a Switch 2 Lite is on the horizon, Nintendo loves a console variant. Not that the S1 lite is pocketable, but maybe they will shrink it more this time. I went down a somewhat similar path, only for me it was GBA and emulation on my Steam Deck that really made me realize I missed having pocket games that are real games and not mobile bullshit. I modded my old GBA with a modern screen and battery and it’s been my goto device for portable games. The OG DS dropped as I was graduating highschool and going into college, and the 3DS completely passed me by. I keep thinking about getting a used one but their prices are still a little high for me.
How do we murder it quickly
Ok, fair point about it being in Snow Crash. I can forgive it a little bit now. I still don’t love the name, and I think we should come up with something better for the eventual fediverse version of the same idea.
Let’s stop giving meta credit. Metaverse is a shit name anyway. Cyberspace is cooler and it’s still not that cool.
I had this issue at work, I was able to fix it by using the windows media creation tool instead of just writing the iso to the drive. Not sure why that worked, but it has every time so far.
A thin client for a NAS? That’s a hard no for me. Take the GPU out if you don’t need it, put a more efficient PSU and it will sip power as long as you aren’t running 27 virtual machines on it. I guess it’s more space than a thin client, but I have no idea how you are getting multiple HDDs or SSDs in a tc. USB is trash at long term data storage, and having a bunch of external drives and cables isn’t superior to a slightly bigger box. Not to mention anything that’s actually sold as a thin client probably won’t run ZFS very well if at all. If it’s not ZFS and it’s not hardware raid what the hell is the point of having network storage? Save the TC for a docker host or host a VM on your NAS that it can connect to instead.
TrueNAS. More control for slightly more work up front. Hardware will be easier to maintain. Lots of gamer desktops that won’t run Win11 available that probably have enough SATA ports to get the job done.
Have you ever scanned a book? It’s an arduous process and I don’t think most people would go through all the hassle. The files will also never look as clean as an ebook that was made from scratch. There are plenty of other readers and book stores that aren’t at this level of greed, and most libraries have some way to borrow ebooks these days.
I’ve been playing since August and it’s a great game. It helps keep me exercising too, sometimes you just gotta go for a walk to chop some logs or something.
How do you feel about trying Virtual Machine Manager instead? I really prefer it over virtual box, personally. It uses the KVM virtualization built into the Linux kernel instead of needing a module like vbox. If you want to stick with virtual box for some reason, I would make sure that all the drivers are installed on the windows guest, you should really always do that with a VM.
https://sysguides.com/install-a-windows-11-virtual-machine-on-kvm is a pretty good guide I have followed for VirtManager.
Every time I try to use Gnome boxes I walk away frustrated and confused. I thought it was just an alternative GUI that did the same thing as VirtManager. It’s doing something behind the scenes that is very different and not perfermant. I use spice with VirtManager daily and I don’t have issues, but I’m not using the spice webdav stuff either, just display I think.
$60 per month (if you sign a 1 year agreement) is sky high for software subscriptions. Sounds like Stockholm syndrome.
darktable.org Darktable is like Adobe Lightroom but open source, and I honestly think it’s better at this point.
Right? This just makes me want to emulate every Nintendo everything from now on.
It’s really only canon until both Wolfenstein and Doom changed their timelines, but the original Doomguy was B.J. Blazkowicz III
According to John Romero and Tom Hall, Billy is also the ancestor of B.J. Blazkowicz, AKA Doomguy. It’s Blazkowicz all the way down.
If it was actually pocketable I would have bought a second switch for on the go. But it’s not small enough for that, and it drops functionality from the slightly larger model. If either changed I think it would have sold better.
