I’m older than you my friend, and it’s acurallt only something that I came to terms with in my 40s. When I was younger I did feel that pressure and expectation to complete stuff. Now I have no issue switching a movie off after an hour or stopping a book before the end. Life’s too short! And sure a story game I’m really enjoying, why wouldn’t i finish it? And play the sequel! But if I’ve played 100+ hours of skyrim without geting close to the end, and I don’t think it reduced my enjoyment. And if I’m getting bored of a metrovania I don’t see the point in grinding til it’s done.
Nah, finishing games is overrated. By the time you’re halfway through a game, you’ve seen a lot of what it’s going to offer in terms of style and gameplay. For sure, you’ll miss some amazing stuff if you don’t get to the end, but it’s hard to believe you miss as much as the new other game you could have half-completed in the same time.
There are exceptions, and I defintely think completing at least a few games is important. But if I had the choice of only having fully played 20 games in my entire life, or 40 halfway, I’d defintely have learned more, experienced more and enjoyed myself more with the half-assed approach.
I’m not criticising Linux gaming - I know basically nothing about it. Just my own experience over the last year, where I’ve tried buying and playing a couple of games and had difficulty getting them working, tried different Proton versions etc. But maybe I should be trying the window versions? My question was just innocent curiosity, but looking at my downvoters I’ve obviously touched a nerve!
I’m not very experienced with Linux gaming, and the last game I tried (xcom) crashed consistently, and reading forums people were suggesting using certain Proton versions and other stuff. I eventually gave up. I also got uncharted:LOT refunded because I couldn’t get it working in Linux. So if it’s “click install and click play” the great! It is straightfoward.
Yeah, they’re cheap Tuya devices, and I regret buying them for many reasons. Good to hear that shelley has more flexibility, once I have saved some money I want to replace the tuyas.
These comments have confirmed what is found from googlin, it’s not possible. I’m just kinda surprised? Is there a technical reason? And it’s not just these switches, I’ve had the same problem with trying to setup a chromecast in rented accommodation where I can’t change the WiFi router settings.
It just seems like a simple option to include. I can choose whether my sim connects to 3g or rg or 5g, but not for WiFi. And from my the posts I’ve found im not alone. Can rooted phones do it?

I’ve recently started using IP Webcam to turn an old handset into a camera. It’s not open source, but it doesn’t seem to be too annoying, and so far it seems to work surprisingly smoothly and has been up & stable for a couple of weeks.
Migration isn’t as smooth as it should be. Generally it’s good at transferring Google accounts, messages and phone logs, reinstalling apps, etc. But it doesn’t automatically log you back in to everything, so there’s usually a period where you keep opening an app for the first time since the move and have to set some things up (although I heard that was changing?). No idea about the home screen layout, as I use Lawnchair, and most custom launchers have options to save and back up layouts. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it didn’t…
Not only on tape, but some radio shows would transmit computer programs that you could record and use. I know of the UK and Finland, but I think other European countries did it too.
