What's wrong with "cp -r"?

As far as "having a second SD slot to facilitate the copy" goes, Anker makes decent card readers.

Try messing with ~/.var/app/io.treetubeapp.FreeTube/config/FreeTube/settings.db , in the "bounds" line.

It doesn't look like Freetube had a --fullscreen option, so you can't tell steam to just do that.

My SO got a steamdeck today, and it's a lot better than I imagined it to be in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

Steam's "immutable" system isn't that bad. It will revert a lot of stuff during OS updates, but Stable doesn't go through that very often. I put all of my changes into a shell script and reapply it when that happens.

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.

Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

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.
