Listing off what I remember currently having on my deck:
pizza tower
Antonblast
pikuniku
toem
cassette beasts
turnip boy commits tax evasion
turnip boy robs a bank
The first two are inspired by wario land 4. So they are more frenetic. The rest are pretty chill games. If I remember correctly they should all fit in 20 gigs
Specifically with gadgetbridge. It's the main reason why I got this one. At the time it was the cheapest watch that gadgetbridge supported.
Other than notifications it's mainly used as an alarm clock. Anything on the nightstand would wake up the rest of the house before it manages to wake me up. While since I sleep with my arm under my head. I basically have the watch up against my ear...
Also. While it's still notifications in the end. I have a small script running on my homeserver/pi that checks when there are issues with the train I use to commute to work (delays. Reroutes cancellations. Etc...) If there are any issues. It just uses ntfy.sh to send notification on my phone. Which I rarely pull out at work since I work up on scaffoldings most of the time. (Unfortunately the national train service's app lacks this kind of notifications built-in. But at least they make train data easily accessible)
Aw thank you :-)
But to be honest. I ain't that good at this. All I know is mostly from reading wikis and following work already done by others.
The real beasts are the ones that actually discover that this is possibile. Eg. The console modding community. (I'm still impressed at how dumb of a way they managed to mod the switch: it literally shorts the CPU to make it skip checks) or the guys at win-raid forums. Where I think the whole research about this upgrade being possibile started in the first place.
English isn't my first language. So I'm not sure if I managed to get my point across. But essentially I'm saying: in the sea there is always a bigger fish. And in this world you never finish learning. There will always be someone that knows more than us.
Also if you do have a lot of these machines... They really aren't bad ones. Win 10 ltsc runs like a dream on these. And linux is right at home on them. It's only really a bottleneck for me because I literally use my machine for fluid simulation for my studies. But even for games. An half height gpu like the RX 6400 gives you a decently stout pc. If you aren't aiming for full res upscaled AAA games. Hell. The steam deck has shown just how much we can do with more modest specs.
A little bit of both. I generally like to mess with this kind of thing. Plus if I manage to save those 40-50€. It's money I can invest to buy a decent HDD. And move away from the WD green from 2009 I'm currently using in there.
Plus. If I do manage to find enough info. I may try to implement a rudimentary version of coffeetime. So at least the community has an open source variant to do this. Since especially with B0 chips like the one I'm trying to use. It's not that difficult of a process and is mostly drop in hardware wise. The only hiccup I've found is that the software side is lacking. Barring a sketchy binary that roams around some forums.
I’d recommend the MSI Afterburner's curve optimizer on Windows, and a pyNVML script on Linux.
In the end I managed to half ass a solution using LACT to make the fans stay off for most of the thermal excursion. And fire at max as soon as 65°C is reached. It's a dumb and loud way to do it. But it currently. Works.
I'm not sure if pyNVML is what is used inside of LACT. But from what I remember undervolting on linux is a bit messy. Since you have to set a maximum clock and then shift it upwards with nvmlDeviceSetGpcClkVfOffset. I've yet to do that though since exams started hammering me. Plus I was a bit hesitant to mess with clocks because of the card's warranty. I don't know if it could affect it.
On the thermal side there was also the problem of my desk suffocating the card. So I've cut a pair of holes in the desk and added two pwm controlled fans. And i'm currently building a PCB with a pi pico to allow the pc to make them spin faster when the card is under load. Through a fancontrol module. (I'll have to polish it up and share the code eventually. I bet there is another madman that'll find such a custom fan controller useful)
May I recommend a duct too? I have my 3090 “sealed” against the edge of the case with weather sealing strip foam, and it pulls in ambient air from a different spot where everything is exhausted.
Yeah. Unfortunately that isn't really applicable to my case. Right now the card pulls fresh air from the top of the case. That is refreshed by the desk fans. And it exhausts to the back and front of the case. I can't really make a proper forced path since the panel is fragile and the back is fully open. Though i'm planning to put an extra fan in that gap between the psu and GPU to force it to pull more air from the top. While exhausting the hot air towards the desk fans.
(Sorry if I made no sense. My English isn't that good unfortunately)
Hopefully when i'm free enough I can try to get an under lock going though.
Liking computers in general and switching to Linux at 15 out of desperation.
After that all it took was getting an shitbox pc as a hand me down to make me go "Linux is also used on servers right? Shouldn't be too difficult to setup something." And that's how I got the bug.
I once wired my whole ass house for ethernet. (Before realizing I was colorblind nonetheless.) Instead of studying.
Never underestimate how you can use study procrastination as a push force for other shit.
(Unless you're a dipshit like me and do it with an imminent exam)
Crunching like mad for an exam currently. So justice and femtanyl to hype myself up while studying. (For me they work well since they don't have lyrics/they aren't easily comprehensible)
And before going to sleep. Either caravan palace or Jamie Berry to calm back down. + a couple of songs from Mina Celentano.
I still remember when my cousin's cat chewed through the pellet stove's power cord... I don't think I've ever heard a sound that so perfectly matched the expression "screams from hell".
Luckily the RCD tripped so the poor bastard survived. But he sure as hell isn't touching wires again.
Acer travelmate 4070. Used as a control unit for a cut and bend machine. (Don't ask me why)... Holy shit that bastard has outlived around three of the machines that began work with it.
What I'm saying is. Acer was good. But like all things enshittification ruined it.
HP though... I don't think I've ever seen a good hp. Even the ancient ones.
I feel like the only HP stuff that saves itself are calculators and some of the old testing equipment
The last two books i've read are my Aerodynamics book for an exam. And Harry Potter and the philosopher stone to help my sibling make a review for English class.
Sooo... Potter will see how his magic fares against a rocket.
I started a game review blog here on Lemmy, but I'm having trouble finding games I want to discuss lately
Ooh I remember you! It was fun seeing people having takes on some older games I had actually played while on the train. Mainly kona and Pacific drive.
My 2¢ when you also manage to get out of this purgatory is valley, parkour/puzzle based for the sake of exploring what happened to the place. Story driven and pretty good from what I remember. I played it back when it came out.
The other one is ultrakill. Frenetic as fuck boomer shooter. Most of the fun comes with learning tricks and acing levels and challenges. Not everyone's cup of tea.
Still. Hakita's a musician and it shows a lot. The soundtrack is great. And the game was originally made to promote an album iirc. Played before the last round of exams sucked all will from me.
anything in particular that's also stuck in your list?
I genuinely haven't touched a game in three months due to exams. I've just now got more free time and managed to will myself to set it up one day. And then the will died again.
Could also be me going into standby in the evening from work/classes.

Just coming from a 2wk exam crunch. Hits way too close than I'm comfortable to admit
A summer night yes... But a night nonetheless.

Well. Sub-zero is a range. 0K, or absolute zero, is sub 0°C. So sub zero can be equal to absolute zero in one instance of the range.

TBF it's not that bad of an idea... The first game I've ever finished was Wario ware after all.
I'll look into this.
This hits a little closer to home than I'm willing to admit.
I genuinely haven't touched a game in three months due to exams. I've just now got more free time and managed to will myself to set it up one day. And then the will died again.

Remembering long passwords. We're talking in the 30-40 character ballpark. And I still can't remember people's names.
Fuck drones and UAV. grandma's slippers could snipe you like intercontinental missiles ffs.
And then. The immediate follow up message.
