    Who uses the blog section of GBATemp, and which was the last logged blog so that I can watch their thoughts (similar to how I do on my website?)

    IC_ wait what do you mean by that? Was it something more significant back then?

    Before GBAtemp had an upgrade to XenForo 2 the blog section was way more visible. Comments appeared in the recent content box, not only new entries.

    I didn't even know that the blogging system had been broken! I hope that it eventually gets fixed since I honeslty like reading other people's blogs on this site.

    Looks like my HP Elitebook 840 g1 is going back to Windows 11 after having so many problems with Linux. I guess I really can't get used to it personally. But don't worry, PeppermintOS is on two other PCs of mine (that I don't use much)

    Nahh this is just standard Windows 11 Home. Last time I tried to do a Tiny11 fork using that, I used one that had this weird time limit to that

    My phone lost the ability to wipe the cache partition. Can I get some suggestions on alternative phones to the S24 Ultra?

    Samsung deserves a place on the no-buy list.
    * Killing bootloader unlock worldwide <-- (repeating fake news in this regard),
    * Imposing questionable rules for third-party repair
    * Getting rid of testpoint based rescue methods (Emergency USB Booting).
    * Now baseless restrictions in standard recovery

    You mentioned using DeX if I remember correctly. Some screenshots look impressive. Desktop mode as part of standard Android is in eternal "planned", "alpha" and "developer options only" state. If Desktop mode worked I would be using GrapheneOS as my main OS for online activities.

    KleinesSinchen I don't understand why everything has always have to be a security measure when in reality, it's limiting our abillity to customize Android to our liking. For 23 years, Android was the better alternative to iOS for developers, and the push to basically making it Apple is unnessasary. I don't even use DeX anymore cause I find it impractical.

    Wow, taking off animations makes scrcpy much faster on the long run. I don't understand why on some cables it's borderline unusable sometimes, but without animations it makes it a lot better to control and whatnot.

    if there's one streaming application that I'm glad about having on Linux it would have to be this one since that's one that I wished from my times using Windows to have on my eventual Linux machine.

    Even though nobody is using it much, the Linux Mint HP Elitebook 840 g1 still holds up with it being on there but...

    for some reason in the BIOS,it's adding so many entries to various Linux Distros that I added into the system with no way to take them down and whatnot. I know this PCs old but damn. Also, I appreciate the Linux community for having Wii/PS3 Bluetooth Functionality come out of the box

    I swear I don't think I would be interested into keeping into this Linux realm for a while. Until a bunch of circumstances occur, I can't find any practical use of me sticking to Linux even for college reasons. I just find it nothing but a hindrence seeing how there's some specific features from Windows that I use on there that can't easily be done on Linux and stuff.

    Especially for the use case of this college laptop. One thing I wish I never discovered was CrystalDiskInfo since that tells me a rough percentage of the integrity of the SSD/HDD inside of my PC. I think because I've done something wrong on Windows where it used a bunch of unnecessary data to check if my PC is in good shape, it gotten the SSD in here from the 90s to the 80s

    Flatpaks are, for all intents and purposes, native Linux applications. There are instances where I actually prefer them over something installed from say Pacman or the AUR.

    That being said, Linux is definitely daunting. Especially with its varied flavors and distros. I'm kind of in the same boat, I find myself bouncing between Endeavour and Fedora at least a couple of times a year. Can't see myself going back to Windows full time, though. It's become such a shit show.

    I tried searching through google on bing search and it tried mocking the Google search in an attempt for me to think I'm actually using Google.... I can't believe they're able to get away with this everywhere but not in the European Uniion. I wish I can move there I swear

    Here's a comment I left about the Ace3DS+ no longer being made on the Ace3DS+ review.

    Wait is the Pico one the one that's completely open source and makes playing DSI and GBA games on Native DS hardware possible with the flash art alone?
    SylverReZ
    SylverReZ
    Yes. The DSpico is the flashcart that's open-source and can play DSi exclusive games & HB natively on the hardware. It only works this way if the flashcart has the WRFUXXED exploit flashed into the firmware.

    I just had to witness someone in a comments section of a YouTube video I've watched say that they had to use AI to detect their specs in their PC.

    I literally know a website that does exactly this without using AI LOL

    Decided to change my system from Windows 11 to Fedora Cinnamon/KDE to KDE Neon because for my college laptop, I want to make use of how debian is more supported by everyone more than fedora/arch. hopefully I don't need to abandon this in the future for when I get to the Game Design portions of my degre!

    I finally modded the vWii of my Modded WiiU and I can't even use the same HDD with my Wii contents on there. This is sad.

    You could use an SD card instead if it's big enough, there are possible compatibility issues but I haven't run into any. It even works with SDUSB Minute plugin, so you could use one SD card instead of any HDDs at all, either for Wii U or Wii mode.

    As for HDD issues, you either need a FAT32 or ExFAT partition, you may need to edit some settings in USB Loader GX or another loader of your choice.

    in another fourm, having profile posts set to one hour is troublesome and their reason is to "prevent spam." meanwhile I am here and the rate limit is feasible and there isn't any spam. I don't understand why the other can't have a more tangible rate limit like this one.

    Question: Is there a blog site that I can use other than BearBlog to embed images? I've been meaning to make one because it seems like less hassle to do it all on one side without being tied to GBAtemp.

    BearBlog would be great if it wasn't for the fact that I cannot have images on the page, but instead as links, and I want to show people what they're looking at to get an idea about the post's contents.

    I don't know personally. In fact, Bear Blog is the only one I found when I was on the great search for finding Blogging sites afterards. Bear Blog does have a lifetime subscription though of around 100 dollars, and considering the person who owns the site, I wouldn't mind giving them all I got.
