I’m really just looking to spend around $100 on an android.
Where I live the 4a is like $140 used.
I was hoping that GrapheneOS would have longer security updates for the phones.
Maybe you would not know, but do you have any android models you would recommend? I’ll mostly just use it for streaming and a few apps that are not in the US App Store.
So, I’ve been using an Oppo f7 as I live between two counties and need apps that are exclusive to one country or another.
It’s dumb, but that’s how it is.
Anyway, the oppo f7 is kind of dated and the touch screen is hyper sensitive. I’m only really watching Disney plus on it or occasionally using it for Lemmy or mastodon.
I was thinking about getting a google pixel used for this purpose and putting GrapheneOS on there. I don’t want to spend a lot though. So, how far back would you go? Is a 4a going to be too old and run down?
There are a surprising amount of pc games on switch. I’m not sure if all these titles have denuvo on PC but as an example.
Dragon Quest 11 Doom Eternal Divinity original sin 2 Disco Elysium Most resident Evil games There are a lot of other games that have a switch port, but I’m too tired to think about it further.
I agree that game sizes are pretty ridiculous these days. This and Baldurs Gate 3 will take up the entirety of my only space ssd. Sadly prices where I live are still decently high.
I’m sure things could be done to optimize the size. With the BTRFS filesystem, you can have things autocompress in a transparent way. So, I installed like 600gb of games, but it only took up 450gb of space because of filesystem compression. Additionally, files load like they are just a normal file.
I wonder how much space would be saved by installing this game to that filesystem.
I’ve only encountered problems with Peacock, but it’s not officially offered where I live, so I have been OK with Netflix and Disney Plus.
I have never tried VR. I have issues with balance as it is and I am pretty sure VR would trigger balance problems, but thanks for pointing it out. For those who are interested.
Windows has been a pretty garbage os for years. Linux is so much better in many ways. The only thing windows has is a few applications that have yet to release a Linux version.
If we could get office, Adobe, and autocad on Linux, we could see droves of people switch.
Gaming is basically all set on Linux at this point. Just a few games that have not setup to work due to anti-cheat, but screw it. I don’t need them.
I’m all for letting servers choose what they want to ban and allow. Its easy enough to just create a new account on a different server if you do not agree with the server admins decisions.
That’s the beauty of federation. The user can also setup his own instance to access the content if he wishes. He might have to learn how to do it, but its totally doable.
while I do not know anything about torrenting. “mullvad” is a highly recommended vpn providers with a strong emphasis on privacy.
