I’ll admit I’ve not looked into this yet, but does anyone know if any of these can be installed on Galaxy Watch (7) or do Samsung lock down their watches (boot) the same way they do their phones?

Expensive and slow. I don’t mind waiting for the food to be cooked if it reduces waste, but the “restaurant” experience is now awful in the UK. Most of the offers on the app are for delivery only. Then have to wait alongside a queue of uber drivers with giant boxes.

I feel Mcdonalds have given up on the restaurant sit down experience. I believe they may end up with a subscription based home delivery service, where they don’t need to worry about front of house staff and can just send out like warm boxes while raising the monthly price. We seen what happened when Disney gave up everything and tried to go all in with Disney Plus.

Mcdonalds was never about quality, but a fun cheap fast place to grab a bite. It’s a shame because I do have some fun memories, yet another example of late stage capitalism.

Decent list, but I’d recommend Threema instead of Signal

Another top post.

I’ve pre-ordered the switch 2 (never owned the original) but already concerned about the reception its receiving. Seems Nintendo keep making mistakes with this one, similar to the wiiu… The only plus is I’ve already paid in full for it (UK Curry’s brick and mortar store) so hopefully no price increases for me plus got Mario kart world bundle so didn’t need a 2nd mortgage.

Huge congrats mate! Takes a special commitment to spend so long turning a vision into reality.

Also, pretty sure most AA games are also held together with tape and glue.

I’ve luckily pre-ordered one with Mario kart World bundle for £430 - which I agree (with a inflation) is not ridiculous in itself. I’ve been waiting for 2 years as I never got the original switch and thought I’d wait for the all new model with backward compatibility…

However I am concerned about future game costs and controllers/accessories. Likely will be looking for preowneed/sale/3rd party. The £10 demo is also a big red flag and I hope doesn’t set the tone for a Wiiu like story.

For me, its not the console price thats the problem. £395.99 in the UK but if we consider inflation, the switch 1 would be around £360-365 today. An extra £30ish for a bigger screen and more power is not too unreasonable. Plus ending in 95.99 rather than 99.99 suggests Nintendo have tried to trim the headline price down.

The real problem is the accessories and games. £75 for new pro controller, £50 for new microSD Express (only ones compatible) £50 for webcam and £67-75 for physical games, £59-£67 for digital.

Ouch.

I’ve recently installed ZorinOS on my Surface Go 2 as part of my migration away from US software. Had a great experience too so far, way faster than Windows 11 like 2-3x faster which is crucial as my base model only has 4GB RAM.

Only issue is my camera isn’t working, but I rarely used it (unfortunately still have a work laptop for teams calls). Now just need to migrate rest of services away from Microsoft account and close it.

Thanks once again - these series of posts are the best thing on Lemmy at the moment. Wish the Internet had stayed like this rather than what it has become. Your content and the fediverse gives me hope…

Really hope Aldi and Lidl in the UK do this 🤞 (Tesco is no1 supermarket but sadly can’t see them following)

Yes exactly, its the convenience of being able to play on the sofa when I get a spare hour at the weekends or evenings that’s really appealing. Thanks, will check Decky Loader out 👍

I wanna get back into gaming this year and have been looking into getting a stream deck, so timing of this post couldn’t have been better. Not sure where you managed to find all this info but big thanks - looking forward to the next post…
