You can if you add to playlist from the search screen.

I keep expecting them to break that workaround, but it keeps working for me

Fair enough

I had good luck with quad swap but I’d easily believe the ease of operation depended on exact version of the console etc

A lot of people never got the swap trick message it seems. Especially the quad-swap that worked on later consoles.

It was my main method, but I’ve talked to a surprising number of people who told me it didn’t exist/work

Watching the video this cheat code method seems more complex

We need to find a new way to hate on stupid vehicles without body shaming.

The guys with small dicks never did anything wrong. I’m sure some of those truck drivers have massive cannons the diameter of a coke can, but that doesn’t excuse their stupid wasteful vanity machines.

They weren’t cheap but I got my sennheiser Hd650s around 2004 and still use them daily.

I’ve replaced the ear pads and cord once each, otherwise they’re original.

Yep. Half my ram as level one, and then a 500gb SSD as L2.

Definitely more than I need for the L2 as the hit rate is only 15% (vs 99% for ARC), but I don’t think there’s much of a downside to slightly over-sizing it these days (there used to be, but L2 is more ram-efficient now).

Not who you responded to, but I have a similar setup using ZFS.

6 drives in raid 6, and then an SSD cache.

There are sites like ratemds.com, depending on your area.

But like most internet reviews, people tend to only post negative experiences or astroturfing.

That’s not universally true. My thinkpad has the most colour accurate screen in my house. Much better then my apple laptops or pretty decent dell screens.

The issue is Lenovo will also sell absolute garbage screens, so you need to pay attention when ordering. Iirc mine was a $500 upgrade or something equally shocking.

Exactly what my name promises, no story.

Complete opposite here. Typing this on an iPhone 8, and I’ve never retired a phone sooner than 4 years. Usually I give up around 6 due to lack of updates becoming a problem.

A longer support cycle would definitely sway my purchase decision.

Edit: though I am the type to replace batteries, buttons and screens myself as necessary

For sure. Nothing will ever be as reliable as writing the image to usb/cd/floppy.

The cheaper option would be to set up an ad-hoc tv-to-tv network. You might not let your TV talk to the internet, but I bet your neighbour does, or if not, then their neighbour will.

Monitors are effectively always in ‘filmmaker mode’, as they don’t do frame interpolation and colour grading and over-scanning and all the stuff that filmmaker mode disables.

Have you tried in the past few years? They basically don’t exist anymore in the consumer space.

Not to be argumentative, but in case you’re interested:

According to the ventoy site it supports those images, though openwrt requires a plugin and freedos seems to require using memdisk mode, though I’m less clear on the limitations there.

Ventoy is the easier answer these days IMO. Just drop ISOs on your Ventoy’d usb key and choose them from a menu at boot time.

Correction: Using NVidia GPU on openSUSE experience

How are you installing apps?

Can you give an example of the issues you had with a specific app?

How is that in any way related to whether or not they use ARM chips, which was the only thing I responded to?
