Plugging headphones into a jack port and taking the back of to replace battery.
Plugging headphones into a jack port and taking the back of to replace battery.
Amazon kindle. It didnt let me plug it into my computer and upload books to use it without internet access. Everything needed sending through amazon. I should have expected this but it was so locked down and filled with ads to the point it was unusable. I attempted to jailbreak it and it bricked so i threw it away and went back to using calibre on my computer. I would really like an offline open source ebook reader.
Thankyou ill try this
I recently tried streamio on firestick, the app worked great in terms of ui and responsiveness but the services it connected to never worked. 5 was on it by default and each allowed me to browse movies and series but when i attempted to watch them it returned an error or buffered forever. I also tried with and without a vpn to see if that affected it. Personally the way that still works best for me is using a browser such as sideloading firefox and then visiting the websites using a vpn like you would on a laptop
Edit: while im here, sideload the newpipe apk. Amazing frontend for youtube
Im not sure ill have to check. I’ve just been using it for GOG and Epic at the moment
I had a similar issue with lutris and decided to switch to heroic game launcher which works great
Yay, newpipe is one of my favoutite apps
Im lazy and use spotify for podcasts but i do plan to stop and use RSS at some point in the future
Hopefully ublock, piped, invidious and newpipe can keep successfully working. Not had a problem with them so far
Signal is a good alternatives as you can group call and screen share (no audio), share images and videos etc. Messages are saved locally on devices unless a timer is set on the chat
Artix is light and systemd free. Some super lightweight distros are tiny core and antix
Thankyou. For locking i have i3lock but i havent got round to customising it yet so i still have the defaults and my bar is polybar which has a has some customisation. Ill see if i can find a caffeine moduke to add to it
Thankyou. I will have a look at this and possibly test it in a vm first to see how it works
Bleachbit is good for clearing up some space
Enjoy the rabbit hole, its a lot of fun.
Sweet, really cool that you decided to give linux shot. Its nice to see someone try it before dismissing it, due to thinking its too complicated.
Those was kind of jokey answers, i really like using mine as a back up for documents via syncthing to view when im out if i need it. Much prefer this than uploading to cloud storage. I also use syncthing to have my save states for emulators sync from my phone to pc so i can contiune where i left off on the other device
