    Pay $60 for a cleaner browser with less features? Yes, it's a thing.

    The chromium/google internet monopoly is even scarier than a lot of people think. The team over at GrapheneOS have a great blog post about it. The TLDR is that Google is requiring an approved device in order to pass some reCAPTCHA tests. This could expand and would lock users out of a large...

    Pay $60 for a cleaner browser with less features? Yes, it's a thing.

    I admittedly haven't looked too deeply into this but it seems like a cool move from brave. You pay a one time fee for a browser with good built in adblocking from what I've heard and it will stay out of your way with the crypto crap regular brave has. Personally I would rather take that $60 and...

    Misc Steam account help.

    I would recommend that you reach out to steam customer support. I'm afraid there isn't much that people can do here to help you. It sounds like to me that someone is trying to login to your steam account by brute forcing the password.

    Linux mint/Window dual-boot. Question about NTFS format

    Didn't know Cachyos was used for servers but if its working well for you that is pretty cool. Usually rolling release distros are not recommended compared to something considered more stable like Ubuntu server. I would love to see some comparison of distros to see how much of a real world...

    Linux mint/Window dual-boot. Question about NTFS format

    My recommendation for this would be to find alternatives that work on Linux. AlternativeTo is a good resource for this. Most of the time it will be challenging to get software to run on Linux in wine. It simply isn't there yet for an end user to just install Windows programs and have them...

    Linux mint/Window dual-boot. Question about NTFS format

    There is a way to allow permissions to read an NTFS drive on Linux. There is an official guide from Valve for gaming that explicitly says it is not recommended but it is technically possible. You can read the same NTFS formatted data from both OSes from what I know. Can't say I have any...

    Give-away A controller for your thoughts - win a free controller!

    Upcoming game: Light No Fire by Hello Games. No Man's Sky was a fascinating concept for a game that I put around 20 hours into. I also appreciate how much work they have put into making that game special over the past decade. I think something that had a bigger focus on multiplayer from the...

    Hacking Homebrew Misc LoRa and Spotpass/Streetpass, can the 3DS be a Meshtastic communicator/node?

    I know that Reticulum and Meshtastic can technically run off WiFi and Bluetooth, but it is seemingly not very practical unless you are very close or there are a lot of other devices that are part of the network nearby that could relay the data. While you are correct in saying that we don't know...

    Hacking Homebrew Misc LoRa and Spotpass/Streetpass, can the 3DS be a Meshtastic communicator/node?

    According to the Wikipedia page for StreetPass, it used a local WiFi connection between devices to exchange data. The distance that data can travel would depend on the frequencies used and the power of the antenna. Based off the age of the 2DSXL I would assume it would be 2.4 GHz. LoRa uses a...

    Could Intel save PC building? Project ZAM (Z-Angle Memory)

    From what I have been able to gather, this is still a type of DRAM and would still be using the same silicon dies as RAM. The silicon dies are, I believe, what is specifically in high demand right now, so I highly doubt it would have an impact on commodity RAM prices. The only thing is that it...

    Xbox announces "Project Helix", their next generation console for Xbox and PC games

    i am curious to see whether it will lean more into being a console, like having a disk drive, longer hardware life cycle, and locked down software, or lean more into being a pc, like being all digital, more hardware iterations and possibly being upgradable, and more open software. if i were to...

    Nintendo Switch back plastic getting very hot

    That was very helpful thank you so much for the reply. I am going to look at my switch some more and hope there is no damage then I will try to use those tools. I think I could run cfw on sysmmc as long as it is offline and restored from a backup before I used cfw right?
