I’ve actually been using it for years but I’ve never messed with the launch gestures before. That’s a super useful feature.

KISS launcher is exactly what I was looking for in a launcher. 5 always used apps at the bottom calendar and weather widgets on the home screen, search for everything else. It seems like it used to have a lot of problems with custom icons but lately it’s been pretty much perfect.

Local repair shop wants $229 to replace it. Better then the 569 Motorola wanted to fix it. Right to repair for the win.

I think you accidentally put a hex on me. Just this morning I dropped my phone and smashed the front display :(

I don’t have YouTube Pro or whatever its called now and when I listen to music on my Google home it plays an ad after ever song. Since I have switched to Pihole and blocked googles DNS servers the only ads I get are to buy premium YouTube which I assume are hardcoded into something somewhere.

We better be careful, with Googles track record they will be getting rid of YouTube soon and rolling it into whatever they are calling their Skype clone nowadays.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give it a shot.

You pick them yourself. Search for an app, long press and then add to favorites

When that first happened I switched to KISS Launcher. Fully search based. really simple and really fast.

I’ve got 110-130 dollars that says people will buy it anyway and the publisher will make a fortune.

I think a lot of enthusiasts miss out on this point. Its trivial for me to install a Linux distro or custom windows software that’s fully managed my controller input but my buddies that have PlayStation s would panic if they encountered a bios screen or a config file.

There’s a market for steam machines but they need to be basically a steam deck with a power supply, an HDMI output and a controller or it will be a non-starter for most people.

Whew! Add in someone from Raytheon and Elon Musk and we have ourselves a real-life Legion of Doom.

Well as long as we are joking about Tegra powered devices…

The Nintendo Switch: Am I a joke to you?

Hey at least you won’t have to sign in anymore just to get automatic driver update checking.

The latest round of AMD apus generated a fair amount of debate about how for the same money you could get a cheap CPU and GPU and best it in most tests.

I think Intel would really shine there especially the A750 since it has a lot of quality hardware features including AV1 encoding.

Wow! Spoilers much?! I can’t believe they spoiled the “Beer Ending” in the trailer…

I will say though that even though I know it will just be a text adventure, I kid of want to play it now.

No! Not our MSI! Not the same folks who strongarmed reviewers to prevent them publishing a bad review, or scalping video cards during the pandemic or the ones that released defective AIO coolers and then half-assed the recall.

Say it isn’t so!

Y’all know that Ready Player One was a DYS-topia right guys?

Analogue is doing the lord’s work. Software is easy to copy infinite times but hardware isn’t prevalent or going to last forever.

I hope someday things like this will end up at a more commodity price

So Ascended is a remake of the official release but still “Early Access” and you can’t upgrade from the edition you already have, and they won’t be cross compatible for multiplayer. And it runs like warmed-over ass. Also ARK 2 is supposed to be out next year?

Sounds good to me!

But are the updates still going to be 250gb each? Because if not, can this truly be called ARK?

I have the Razr+ as well. I was just looking for an option that rather than split between 2 apps, have only one app running on the top half of the screen.

I’ve always liked the idea of running a set of parks like 6 flags or something. Parks your friends can visit and ride the rides like RCT3. Amazing. Heck even proper multiplayer could be fun on a game like this. Yet another feature or OpenRCT2. Especially when Parkitect and Planet Coaster exist, why even bother if you aren’t at least going to try?

As someone with literally thousands of hours in RCT 1 2 and 3 combined this looks genuinely awful to me.

OpenRCT2 (RCT2 Mod) has better animations and most likely more quality of life features. Really RCT1 looks better and smoother than this and it did so on a pentium 4 CPU in 2003.

I don’t understand how a 24 year old game is making this new one look so awful. To be fair, Chris Sawyer captured lightning in a bottle for the first game, but come on! You’re telling me a huge studio with millions of dollars and tops of personnel can’t do better than this?

Yeesh.

Found this app. Does more or less what I’m looking for.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Must be Samsung only. I’m not able to get this to work on my Motorola RAZR+.

I see the freeform option and I have tested that out. It’s the closest to what I want to do.

I just wish I could click the split screen mode and only choose 1 app to run in the top 50% of the screen and have the other half just be black.

I am able to do split screen in this way. What I am looking for is to run only 1 app but just in the top 50% of the screen.

I was actually looking at my first all touch screen cell phone the LG Dare from like 2008 and the front screen is bigger than that one was.````

Let them fight.

Pretty neat idea. It’d be cool to see other implementations of this like a bulit in capture card or 10G network card or something.

Or even cooler a 2 way sli card with dual 4060tis. Don’t see that ever happening though. I’m pretty sure SLI is not a thing anymore.
