I play guitar, watch USMLR and NHL, occasionally brew beer, enjoy live music and travel, and practice sarcasm.

I could do refurb direct from manufacturer, but I don’t think I’d ever go for used. Problem is there just doesn’t seem to beany options. Lenovo US only seems to have one model with a cell antenna and it’s only LTE. Other than that it’s Samsung or an import, which I’d be wary of compatible bands.


I’m on Google Fi which lets you just add extra SIM cards to share a single data plan between devices. So just a one-time cost for the card.


True. Though I’d probably go for a new unit without the 5g and just keep tethering my phone hotspot. But like, I can get a $200 Moto phone from Lenovo with wifi and 5G (and 8G RAM), so why can’t I get a $300 tablet from them (even with only 4G memory)?

5G capable Android tablets under $300
What are some Android tablet brands in the USA other than Google, Lenovo, and Samsung? I'm looking for a #5G tablet in the sub-$300 range and it's seeming like there's one Samsung, or several hundred random Chinese Amazon sellers that don't even have a brand name on the product listing.

I don’t mind that they have 2FA features in their app. I mind that using SMS for this has been known to be bad practice for years and they’ve tried to leverage that insecurity to push users to the Steam app. It’s reckless and this current data breach is only possible because of it.


Steam is warning users to enable Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator and keep an eye on account activity.

Fuck off and let me use my own TOTP app already.


Either Witcher 3 or Baldurs Gate 3.


The first two were crackin. The 3rd one with Jean Reno and time travel was a bit odd. I don’t think I finished what came next and the series dropped off my radar until the recent Netflix series. I’m excited about the new ‘Way of The Sword’ game. Might go back and check out the 2019 Warlords remaster.


The first two for sure. The 3rd was fun but got a bit weird with Jean Reno featuring in it (it had some back and forth time jumps). If I tried Dawn of Dreams, I don’t much remember it.


Aw yisss! I believe the first Onimusha was my first PS2 game.



I saw that there is a PS5 native version in Beta now. Hoping they get around to making a PSVR2 after that has hit GA.


People have been telling me that consoles are dying and everyone will play on PC instead for over 30 years. The convenience factor of the all-in-one hardware, and the supported lifetime of the platform, can’t be understated. I can see docked phones being a replacement at some point. But I’d be surprised if PCs ever squash out consoles.


but it won’t end the blue/green bubble nonsense.



I have an Tab4 10" which I think is now the M10. The 3rd Gen M10 is around $140.




Little Big Planet. Every level’s music track brilliantly fit both the aesthetic and tempo. The sequels never cam close to capturing that same magic as the first one.



Historically, and I believe per the announcement, any content you’d already bought you will be able to download even after it’s been delisted.


Shouldn’t the same RealTone cable work?


Luke Skywalker, Biff Tannen, Caligula, Sark, Gimli, and Ginger Lynn were in Wing Commander 3.


… apparently. I had no idea.


When is the official start of Wintereenmas?


I see plenty of people on BlueSky without .bluesky.social in their @. Doesn’t mean they’re on another instance?


I like and use Tusky on my phone, and it also works as a Pixelfed client. But it’s not very good on tablets (in landscape). It not only doesn’t maximize the width of the screen, but you can’t scroll the feed from those unused sides of the screen. And one UI feature that Tusky is missing is the indented thread-depth lines that help you keep track of all the different reply sub-threads.


Best thing for discovery in Mastodon is to follow hashtags. This is algorithm-like in that you will see posts from people you don’t follow, on the topics you have an interest in.


Apparently my desired feature is already present. From the Home tab the Subscribed/Local/All button expands to let you pick which logged in account to show.


Yeah just found it today and I quite like it so far. Had been using Jerboa but the after v0.0.37 that was pushed out made it’s just crashing on startup since I was logged into lemmy.world. However I would like to see an option to not merge the feeds of all logged in accounts. I prefer a UX to switch what account I’m viewing with and see only the subscriptions of the selected account.


I’d never want to get rid of wired charging, but wireless is a really nice option. I’m never able to find a good angle/spot for my phone in my car with a wire sticking out of it. Even with a dashboard mount, I would prefer the mount itself be powered to avoid having the cable just hanging with the pull of gravity on it.
