There is an open source project that already does this a bit called box86 and box64.

I think you can find videos of people running Skyrim on arm chips like phones or maybe raspberry pi 5.

They don’t run well, but with more powerful chips and valves experience and money, I’m sure they can do it.

Another commenter already gave a great example, I grew up using a crt for gaming and I turn the filter on on a game by game basis. It really does improve the quality of some games. Other games do not rely on it as much.

Mostly game with detailed art look better with it.

According to a piece in the Harvard Business Review, the $1 trillion will come due between now and 2026.

So we just have to hold out for 2 more years it seems.

As others have said it’s a government position and it’s delivering mail. I’m not sure if Canadian law, but in think that’s a pretty severe crime in the US.

What if the person didn’t want to deliver medicine because they believed that god will heal everything?

While the mail is hateful, it needs to be delivered.

Also consider that someone paid for the flyers and paid to have them mailed. So this guy is effectively robbing them of two different transactions.

To be clear, I don’t support the flyers in any way, but what the guy did was wrong.

That’s great! I’m so tired of everything being about John Connor.

Sadly, I don’t have a pixel.

If Google search to see if is a Linux thing. Sometimes streaming sites limit resolution on Linux for some reason.

I think its really cool, its just a step closer to have just one device for everything.

I’d love to fold it up and use it as a phone. Unfold it and use it as a tablet when I’m just browsing the web and then connect it to a man role or keyboard and mouse and use it as my “laptop” or desktop.

I have a steam deck for gaming, I don’t really need an entire separate computer for work.

But a device like this should offer a full desktop experience and not some locked down mobile thing.

Thanks! I don’t think this will work for me. Where I live, most of the payments are made directly through banking apps by scanning a qr-code.

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago (14 children)

Can someone give an example of an app that doesn’t work? I always hear about apps that do work, but is it mostly banking or some other category that doesn’t work typically?

I see what you did there😉

Thanks! Your right. I’m thinking of Singapore. My bad.

 

My webcam does not work. I’m sure it’s a hardware issue as it persists in windows and Linux. I already reseated the camera and it still happpens.

The other issue is that it seems the keyboard randomly ignores key presses. I’m not sure what the issue is, but it’s frustrating to type on as it happens randomly and a few times ever couple hundred characters.

Can someone give me some advice on how to self repair these problems? My goal is to sell the laptop once it’s repaired.

Other than those issues, it works really great. I just want something a bit thinner.

 

Overall the game is OK, but it seems that the environment is kind of boring compared to Metroid Prime 1. But maybe it is just nostalgia. What are your thoughts?

If you agree, do you think they did a better job in Prime 3? I'll play that next.

Xbox vs PS2? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by M500@lemmy.ml to c/emulation@lemmy.ml
 

I have a decent ps2 rom collection and started collecting Xbox.

I assume that ps2 emulation is further along than Xbox, so I’ve just been collecting Xbox exclusives.

But I know some games are better on Xbox like GTA.

What games do you think were better on Xbox than they were on ps2?

 

I’m on the latest iOS update and using an iPhone 15.

I can respond to messages in other posts, but I can’t reply to messages that are in my inbox from the app.

I have to problem replying from my desktop.

 

I think the ammo for the beam weapons is a bit stressful. I just got them and am wondering if using an infinite ammo cheat will ruin the experience or if it will make the game more enjoyable.

Maybe I will get ammo upgrades and it won’t matter.

What is your opinion on the matter? I don’t mind being stressed if it makes the game more fun overall.

 

I just plugged the steam deck in to a monitor and while I was transferring some roms and started to wonder if it would be feasible to use as a day to day computer while docked.

 

I fought with prime hack for a while trying to get it to work. I was using the GameCube Metroid prime 2 iso.

It loaded fine, but I could not get the controller mapped correctly.

I discovered that there is a Wii Metroid prime trilogy iso.

I tried this one and then suddenly everything worked perfectly.

The on screen button icons even matched the steam deck instead of showing the GameCube button.

I hope this helps as it’s a great series and it deserves to be played through primehack.

Mac Sales are Down (www.theverge.com)
 

Mac sales are down.

I’m really not surprised. They are just a bit too expensive once you start upgrading the storage and ram.

I have been holding out on buying a Mac since the M2 was rumored to come out.

I keep hoping that the base model will have a larger amount of storage and ram, but it does not.

They keep selling faster processors, but I do not need that, I need more storage and I’d like more ram.

At this point, I’m just going to buy a used M1 air. If Apple had 512 and 26 standard on the base air, I’d pickup a new one today.

Do you disagree? What can Apple do to increase Mac sales?

 

I decided to play through some of the 3d Zelda games as it’s been years and years.

First, I played through majoras mask as I have not played that since I was a kid when I last played it. I didn’t like it then and I absolutely hated it this time, too. I actually just stopped playing once I got to the moon.

After that I played, ocarina of time. I spent countless hours with this game as a kid and I enjoyed playing it again. I how much I remembered from this game. It’s pretty great and I think it holds up today. I played the ship of harkinian version of it.

I played a bit of link between worlds, the 3ds one and it was OK, but I found some of the puzzles to be a bit too confusing and I got a little frustrated with it once I made it to the dark world. I don’t plan to finish that game. I loved link to the past, but this one was just OK to me.

Before I decided to play these games again, I started with twilight princess. I got past the first temple and made it to kakiriko village. I got busy and put it down, I may pick it back up, but I’m in no rush.

The real reason I wanted to write is… Wind Waker! This game is amazing! I’ve played it on GameCube and the HD version. I forgot how much charm this game has. I used to say that OOT was the best, but I’ve completely flipped. I think WindWaker is the best of the Zelda games.

I’m not including botw and totk in this as they are a much different game. I love those games, but they are hard to compare to classic Zelda due to their differences.

 

I have played most Pokemon games, but I am deciding between Pokemon Sun/Moon/Ultra and Brilliant Diamond.

I have never played either of these games not even their original versions. What do you think?

Additionally, is Sun/Moon good or is the Ultra version better?

I feel like this has been the trend lately.

Company announces something terrible, then they get back lash, then they slightly take a step back and try to pretend to be the good guys.

Like, they knew this would happen all along.

I am DONE with Epic.
