2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Also funny how they keep adding shit no one needs that just makes battery life worse

    Yes let me drop $700 on a handheld so I can play it plugged in on the couch

    Remember Game Gear? Pepperidge farm remembers

    [–] LetterboxPancake@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

    The battery drainer? That thing was epi...

    Sorry, ran out of batteries.

    [–] FordPrefect@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I knew people with NiMh batteries for their RC cars\planes\boats, but the first time I ever saw NiMh AAs, was in a GameGear.

    [–] chalupapocalypse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Man that shit sucked. I only had one set so drive for 15 minutes then charge it till tomorrow

    [–] FordPrefect@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

    Yes! I had three NiCd to every one NiMH, & the NiCd would all be flat within minutes; then I'd switch to the NiMH for some actual fun & within 30 minutes they're all spent for the day. Sometimes I stripped the single-use flat cells out of used Polaroid film packs, for just a few minutes of superior power:weight ratio on my littlest RCs

    Then there were the flashlights we'd use for hours but if you put the same cells in the GameGear, dead in no time.

    LiPo cells were like a revelation...

    Come to think of it, the PSP had an optical drive which was a battery hog too; I remember a friend being elated that I'd found an aftermarket pack with more mAh.

    Adding what exactly?

    [–] Lurking_Eye@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    I think the rog ally had Microsoft word (maybe even just office) come with it.

    [–] dawa@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

    Cool, so now it's a "work laptop" and I can justify expensing it !!

    Only reason why they'd put Word on it IMO

    [–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

    Oh yeah not very usefull there. But at least it can be uninstalled I guess...

    [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

    According to the totally impartial LTT review of the Ally it’s worse than the Deck in every way but if it’s plugged in and you’re using a kb+m then it’s only a slightly underpowered laptop and you should totally buy it over the Deck

    So I guess the “power modes” that can’t run on battery

    [–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    Some people want that. I've never played my switch as a handheld. Not once.

    [–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

    Me neither. Maybe because I don't own a switch, donno.

    [–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

    I've played mine on the TV like a half dozen times maybe. I mostly play it while I watch TV.... why yes I do have rather severe ADHD.

    [–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

    What, are you saying this 7", 1600p, 120Hz display is a stupid choice for a handheld? How dare you!
