The best place to buy Samsung cards is from Samsung's site, the best place to buy Sandisk cards is from … Western Digital. Sometimes they even have sales that approximate Amazon.

It's pretty safe to assume that you will get a real card from the horse's mouth.

Apple's solution is to integrate a heating strip with the glue. Put some power into it, and the glue warms up and releases.

I wouldn't condemn Anker after whatever IoT camera thing, everything in that space sucks. As far as I know Anker makes good power bricks, and I'll trust their stuff as long as it isn't in The Cloud.

For such a "stripped down" OS to fit in a 5GB / partition, it is very funny that they included printing but just left it turned off.

I picked up a cheap Lumia as the whole WinPhone thing was winding up. They were actually quite nice. The whole winphone project must have been too low-key for the usual Microsoft Management to stick their noses into, and left competent people running the show.

If WinPhone had actually caught on, I'm sure that some asshole manager would have taken over and turned it into yet another Windows 11. But for a brief moment, MS made a good OS. With no apps.

If an iPad ran SteamOS, it would choke on running out of memory before Steam was done loading.

If you want to read within Linux, Papers is touchscreen-friendly. KOreader is probably the best touchscreen experience, once you get past its awkward but incredibly configurable interface.

My eyes are too old to read on the Deck's screen, personally.

Either the battery is toast, or some component like "the chip responsible for rapidly cutting power over to the battery" is toast.

I wonder if connecting to a < 30w power supply would also result in your deck crapping out under load.

I heard that some people even have phones nowadays without a single SFP port. Madness.

I would definitely go for that, if it wasn't a whole world of pain to tear down the Deck to do a screen change.

Castlevania Dominus Collection. I don't know how I ever beat the games way back when, now I have to rewind during boss fights a lot. Got bored with Dawn of Sorrow as it dragged on towards the True Ending, really enjoying Portrait of Ruin. Johnathan's mobility combined with Charlotte's "fuck you and everyone around you" make such a great team.
