I just bought a new 2019 Pro, will see how that goes. I’m told the Apple TV stuff is snappy, but it’s Apple.

x86 would be great but Netflix only support listed hardware so might not be wife proof


I opened it last night to blow out the dust and there wasn’t a physical drive. I know it’s old and could likely be the 2017 Pro.

It doesn’t have an AI upscaler option in settings so I think it’s 2017


I don’t mind spending money. I have been looking at building an x86 android TV and getting a mini pc. But Netflix wouldn’t be supported without hacks.

My shield is a 2017 pro model. Maybe I’d benefit from a 2019?


Alternative to Nvidia Shield
The shield is a great device, but I'm starting to notice some considerable lag at times. Before I factory reset it, is there a good alternative? I have an older Apple TV I'm going to try but I'd prefer to stay Android. Features I'd want are * Android TV * Netflix and Jellyfin support * Powerful / fast * Similar codec support, however only for compatibility. I'm not needing HDR or Atmos etc. Some of my family are deaf so we watch with subtitles and have a simple speaker setup.

Odd you cited GTA6 in relation to single payer. GTA5 single player is a great experience but it’s popularity and success is largely attributed to the multi player elements.


Lots of hate on ubisoft. I think division 2 is a great game though, not so much the rest.


I expect they tell us it can achieve that because under the hood DLSS4 gives it more performance if enabled.

But is that a fair comparison?


Yep. Even a bad game can be good when played coop.


It seems like the writing is leaning on being negative.

“These 2 games don’t work, even with FSR”

Okay, legitimate issue.

“This game doesn’t with without FSR”

That’s what FSR is for, and now you don’t want to use it. This isn’t an issue.


I enjoyed the original, what seems like decades ago now. This seems good 👍


Thanks for your reply. I understand a lot better now.


The comment said it was proprietary and uses signal and MLS.

Maybe I misunderstood.


I didn’t know MLS and Signal were Google proprietary. TIL. Thanks.


It’s a shame Apple decided not to implement e2ee like Google did.

This is an older article, but there is still no movement. https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/234352/apples-flavor-of-rcs-wont-support-googles-end-to-end-encryption-extension


Lemmy demographic feels like mostly Linux users.

Lemmy posters are on vegan level of promoting Linux, and sith level of hate on Windows.


I really like the original game, I just find it really difficult. I want to beat it at least once. After several pay throughs, I finally killed the last boss only to reveal another act! I died shortly after and haven’t got that far again. Sucks for me.


That’s odd. Has always been dependable for me and my family over the years.


In no way in hell is it worth the amount poured into it. Which leads to the only conclusion that the money is being mishandled. Put simpler: it’s a scam


BF2 will hold a special place in my heart. I had many good times in that game. BF3 and onwards only got worse at each iteration. Call of duty was a major influence on the game and it eventually fell out of favour with me.


Having a default and per app setting is actually super useful and isn’t a hassle



As long as you’re saying that in the same way as normal phone calls distract, then I agree.


Teams becomes a replacement for phones in business, so likely be more used for 1:1 calls than meetings.



But when the mods are removed from Nexus…


My phone really struggled to render the web page. Looks great though


Probably easier to tell if there were images. Why are they missing


I don’t know how impressive it is unless it gets compared to a cable with similar features, of which there are many… at a fraction of the cost. So it would be excellent to see the same scans on a £30 cable to see just how over engineered the Apple cable may or may not be.


They didn’t need to nuke it. Why not both


How would you want that to be handled? The monitor is removed from the system. Do you want a phantom monitor to remain in place, with applications and desktop, no longer accessible?


Reminds me of New World. That was full of exploits and each time the devs blocked trading, sometimes for days at a time.



It feels like an easily solvable problem. Every key is unique. It can be centrally tracked from it’s origin to the buyer. Steam should allow the easy revocation of keys if reported as bought with fraudulent means.


If you are on PC, and the right hand is your mouse hand, you just need to be able to click at least one mouse button. It normally uses 2 mouse buttons but you can remap


You just described my playstyle :) The Frostburn gloves help with mana regen, 5+% lucky shot chance to return 20%+ mana, plus a ~20% chance to freeze on any hit. Using Avalanche instead of Shatter can help with free Ice Shard casts and there is an aspect for Avalanche to proc twice. You probably know all this though as its super meta. I’m worried of nerfs :(


I think the Altar of Lilith spawns some mobs when you activate it, but its in town so they just sit there.


I am loving Ice Shards tbh, seems very meta at the moment, but its just sooooo good :)



Every interaction on Lemmy is copied to all other federated instances. There are instances all over the world with a copy of yours and my comment. They can track and use those comments for any purpose. Its both a blessing and a curse of an open federated structure.


Bitwarden is 10 a year, but only if you want the premium features. It works well completely free, which is why it’s so popular.


Then you should know that attackers don’t take your plain-text or cracked password and the start manually guessing similar codes on your other accounts

Oh they absolutely do.

You keep going back to hashing methodology. I totally agree that if the website hashes your password correctly, its unlikely to be compromised.

That said, you are trusting the website in that regard, when it has been repeatedly proven that there are sites, even large ones, have exposed passwords.

You said at the beginning of this thread that you can’t trust password managers to manage your password correctly. But you trust random websites with that password instead.

So put your hashing discussion to one side, and think of the scenerio where your passwords are not encrypted. Because you can’t guarentee that they are.

What got me into this discussion was your comment

Changing even a single letter will completely scramble your password with hash, so for all intents and purpose it is equivalent to a unique password

It is just such bad advice. Anyone who thinks changing a few letters in their password used accross multiple sites deserves to be hacked.

Edit: I’m going to stop here. I don’t think I’m getting through. Thanks for the chat.


I totally understand. I think you’re missing my point.

I am willing to bet multiple sites we both signed up store their passwords in cleartext (or unsalted hashes, or broken hashing methods).

So the attackers now have one of our passwords. They may even have a number of our passwords. In my case, using a password manager, the attacker has multiple completely random strings that I have used as passwords. In your case, the attacker has 2 passwords that look very much the same, although a little changed. You are now screwed.
