I agree. I ordered mine the day preorders went live. Waited all the time for it to arrive and was underwhelmed as well. No info on when the cool interface will be available. I asked to split my SuperDock order, assuming it wouldn't take much longer, and I STILL don't have it. I think my SS1 arrived in February.
Also, my SD card got randomly corrupted somehow and the SS1 just wouldn't boot. I grabbed a different SD card and flashed it. The instructions for this are not great - documentation is poor in general. They're probably focusing on mass production instead of software dev, but the lack of regular (and meaningful) updates makes this purchase hard to recommend. Hopefully they keep working on it and it gets better.
Edit: Also, they need to pick a platform. I only use Lemmy but for some reason I need to check YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and Discord to maybe find a post about what's going on. Then there are also the email newsletter and shipping dashboard on their website.
I don't think they would have had the reception they did if they didn't release it for older gen hardware.
You're probably right. I'm sure that factored in. Who knows how much dev time went to old console hardware that was never going to run the game well.
I had a similar experience playing on PC with what was a nearly brand new PC build. I ran into a few bugs but nothing broke the game. It was a lot of fun.
I think many people took issue with the launch features CDPR promised that weren't delivered until much later. I haven't kept track but maybe some weren't delivered at all.
I recently switched to BasicSync as well. I had Syncthing-Fork from the F-Droid. Then I switched to the Play Store version. For whatever reason, it wouldn't keep connection to my server. BasicSync is always able to reconnect and I was easily able to reuse my previous Syncthing-Fork config.
I finally moved to Octopi Launcher a few days ago. I used Nova Prime for so many years. But the AI stuff - I'm done. I tried Octopi before but it didn't work out since some settings didn't translate well. This time I was able to replicate most of my settings I enjoyed from Nova. I appreciate there being a viable alternative launcher for my needs now, so I also bought Pro to support them. 👍
That may be true. But I'm still optimistic about the Motorola partnership. Hopefully it'll fill a gap in the market to provide a prebuilt phone with less spyware. Maybe it'll even start a trend with other manufacturers. https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/
Not surprising considering Google strong armed their own app as the only option for RCS. I didn't love Samsung Messages, but I hate Google Messages so much. All the dumb shit they add, like the banana remix button on photos, an emoji focused mode for photos, and recently adding @ mentioning. This isn't Teams. I don't want this shit in my text messages. I just want read receipts. That's it. Sorry, rant over.
I've read through most of the drama, but it still isn't clear, or maybe I missed it: does this also impact the Google Play version of SyncThing from nel0x (https://github.com/nel0x/syncthing-android)?
I don't think so. Their comment seems over-generalized. Sure, most modern cars are too "sporty" now which translates to being more uncomfortable in my experience. But that doesn't mean I'd lump Japanese cars in the same quality category as American cars.
Do you have a domain? If you do, maybe try Nginx Proxy Manager and SFTPGo. I previously used File Browser but the developers made some fairly large breaking changes and I never went back. SFTPGo lets you add accounts easily and I have specific folder setup for sharing with friends. It has a clean interface too. If you don't have a domain, maybe try Tailscale?
This is really disappointing, but not unexpected. I've been using Nova for more than a decade and can't get used to any other launcher I've tried so far. Everyone thought Nova would turn into an ad infested shell of itself once it was bought a few years ago. I guess this is worse since it will cease to function soon (maybe).
Believe his name is Mat. Check out the Techmoan Patreon where he has a few videos about what happened (these videos are free). Seems like he got a bad case of the flu and is slowly recovering.
This was an interesting video. I'm tempted to try something like this one day. But I found it funny how different the methods were compared to Clawhammer Supply. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSShSpM2VF4
I'm not currently in the market for headphones but I wanted to say this project looks awesome.
I'm super excited for this. One of the best AS shows in years, IMO.

I guess I may not. Been using uBO and will have to see how it is when it's gone.
Work forces Edge. Cannot install other browsers. I already have AdGuard Home running on my network. What else can I do?

I tried a bunch of alternatives and also landed on Joplin. Been using it for a couple years and it works great!
Can confirm. I've played the first one on Steam Deck and it plays great. The new launcher is super easy to use as well.

This is awesome. I'm definitely going to use this to try out various distros even though I'm happy with Linux Mint. Thanks for sharing!

I did not know about Warehouse. Thank you.
