I was able to run SimTower on Linux. I haven’t tried SimCoopter, but there are so many bugs in that game it likely won’t work lol

Still have my CD copy, but wonder if I can download the patches still… Maybe time to dust it off, just to find it has suffered rot… 😭

Facebook is the only way for me to keep up with what’s happening in my town. Lots of the older generation of people are on it and always post what’s the best repair people, events or other news worthy things. Basically local news feed.

Since it’s not active, it looks to just be geo based as changing my VPN location makes it work… This was my first time visiting the website and it was showing someone opening an egg he boiled for 2 hours… 💀

I stopped with the NHL updates back with NHL 99 even they were basically just roster updates over NHL 97

Towards the end you could easily load custom kernels to try and make the os less laggy. Ahh those were the days …

The pre 2 was the sweet version, but webos is all I ever wanted. 😭

I loved playing simcopter, but for my racing needs midtown madness was plenty of fun.

With removable batteries, you can swap in a fresh pair. Not ideal, but a possibility now.

It’s fine, I’m totally unfazed by your comment. 👍

It’s interesting that they gather so much information that it takes over an hour for them to report back what you purchased.

I would agree that I do not have a degree in journalism.

I’ve been to the Amazon fresh a few times and it’s alright.

I miss the radio stations in SimCopter.

I’m running a pixel 7 with out a protector, but a basic phone case. Run fine and it’s going to be supported by 3rd party roms for that extra security/os longevity.

Yeah, I think you need to do it after any update. I do this on my OG Pixel XL

Android uses a Just-in-Time (JIT) compile of applications. You can compile everything Ahead-of-Time (AOT) via adb. It would in theory improve performance when starting applications.

I think the play store update always breaks something which is why it’s always months behind for pixels. I’m also on November Pixel 7.

How does it work? Have you also tried the AOT for all your apps to help with performance.

Yeah it really does lol.

I have my pixel 7 and it has been great except the speakers kind of suck compared to the 6 pro and 6a

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 no rush, it’s your project go at your pace.

I care🤗

Woah woah, are there steps for doing this?

Might be something I do on my older pixel one

Does this need root?

I use the slowest charger on all my phones. Slow charging is just me showing my age.
