- Comment on Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News 4 months ago:
I have a Dell Laptop (Latitude 7390) where I changed the bios some option to maximize battery longevity and 6 years later it still lasts quite a lot.
- Comment on BitLocker encryption broken in less than 43 seconds with sub-$10 Raspberry Pi Pico — key can be sniffed when using an external TPM 4 months ago:
So offline bitlocker drives
And online bitlocker drives used with AMD fTPM are excluded from this exploit?
- Comment on Why OLED monitor burn-in isn’t a huge problem anymore 7 months ago:
One thing that I also noticed is that my monitor (which has i think 350 nits / LG 27GL850-B) it is much easier and clear to see at direct sunlight because of the anti-glare screen.
But I doubt that antiglare/matte displays is a thing you find on TVs.
- Comment on Why OLED monitor burn-in isn’t a huge problem anymore 7 months ago:
Thanks for the hints. So that means that in a bright room 1500+ nits is ideal for HDR right?
But even with a 1500 nits TV, HDR will be still much better in a dark room?
- Comment on Sony PS5 "Slim" Teardown + Thoughts - Dave2D 7 months ago:
Aesthetically I prefer the old one.
But if you have to move your PS5 from time to time. (Example going to a second home for a week or so) I’d totally go with the new one as it fits better on a backpack.
- Comment on Why OLED monitor burn-in isn’t a huge problem anymore 7 months ago:
I have a budget Samsung 55 NU7400 and I can’t see shit while playing a PS5 game with HDR during the day. I need to close the blackout curtains otherwise I see my face.
Next TV I buy I need to do some research, 120Hz, more nits, VRR, etc.
- Comment on This airBNB was supposed to be a "relaxing retreat" but now I need therapy after this shit. 7 months ago:
Indeed. I have my TV on a TV desk and behind it there is a mess of cables, all kind of hidden.
On my desk I have:
- ISP modem,
- personal router
- gigalan powered switch
- VPN server (edgerouter X)
- Toslink hifi dac
- passive preamp with IR receiver to control the volume
- The TV
- x2 powered monitors (KRK RP6G3).
- PS5 console
- One headphone amp that lately I’m not using (Lyr 2) and I think I’ll reallocate.
- Comment on Sony Defends PS Plus Price Rises - IGN 7 months ago:
I recently got a PS5 and I only buy offline games because of this.
They should release maybe some 20€ annual plan just including online gaming and maybe 500MB of cloud storage for saves.
But having to pay for this is a disadvantage Vs PC games and having to pay like 74€ per year is even worse.
- Comment on Brilliant visuals and growing pains: examining the first generation of Unreal Engine 5 games 8 months ago:
Yeah and on the living room with a big screen (I got a PS5 recently) I think the PS5 is doing lot of 1440p FSR upscaling.
And it still looks nice.
- Comment on Brilliant visuals and growing pains: examining the first generation of Unreal Engine 5 games 8 months ago:
I’m never ditching 27" 1440p!
- Comment on Lords of the Fallen reaches 1m sold in 10 days 8 months ago:
I read this post (without knowing the game yet but having it on a future wishlist) and can’t stop thinking how much lucky we were with Dark Souls, Elden Ring, BB and Sekiro.
- Comment on Google Pixel 8's Tensor G3 GPU tests show weak performance but decent efficiency 8 months ago:
Yeah so for Pixel 8 you just need a bit more for 120Hz instead of 90Hz
A different story is for gaming. But for mobile gaming I’m more a fan of Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.
- Comment on Google Pixel 8's Tensor G3 GPU tests show weak performance but decent efficiency 8 months ago:
Performance I don’t give a shit.
But efficiency I care a lot especially in a laptop. Much more on the phone.
Pixel 5 with a 3 year old mid range SoC can run android 14 UI at 90 FPS pretty much fine.

I play these games with DualSense even on PC.
- Comment on Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN 8 months ago:
Some prices are crazy in my opinion.
I generally buy 2 year old games except in some cases.
And in the consoles they are even more expensive. Game price could be higher than on PC and then you also need to pay an expensive subscription (because they charge you for a lot more things than just the multiplayer costs) to be allowed to play in multiplayer.
- Comment on Google extends Chromebook lifespan to ten years 9 months ago:
My dad has one expiring this year. I told him next time to get some regular laptop with AMD Zen and use it in Windows and if he misses Chrome OS I can just install some light Linux distribution.
- Comment on Unity Claims PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Will Pay Its New Runtime Fee On Behalf Of Devs 9 months ago:
Also valid. Yeah
- Comment on Unity Claims PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Will Pay Its New Runtime Fee On Behalf Of Devs 9 months ago:
Actually…consumers end up paying for it. Companies will just increase prices as when the Government taxes them.
- Comment on iPhone 15's USB-C Port Remains Limited to Lightning Speeds 9 months ago:
Well I don’t have an original quality cloud backup. So eventually I move the DCIM folder back to my PC.
That being said. I haven’t tried “Nearby” to move a 30GB folder with a lot of items. Maybe that works fine already. (For few items it’s very fast).
- Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore 9 months ago:
It freezes the app preventing background usage.
It’s like the “disable” option that you have in system apps. But for user apps. In fact, once you disable them if you search them in play store they appear with an “enable” button.
- Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore 9 months ago:
I have Instagram installed but frozen with “Ice Box” android app.
I open once per day or 2 days to catch up with some friends status. But I don’t see those neverending reels anymore.
- Comment on Eternity v0.1.0 released! Formerly Infinity for Lemmy 10 months ago:
This is my favourite Lemmy app. (And Infinity for Reddit my favourite app for Reddit).
I liked the older name more but the new name is still good. It’s just a name.
- Comment on The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won. 10 months ago:
My old time allocated to Reddit is now allocated to Lemmy (65%) Reddit (35%).
And Infinity for Lemmy is making Lemmy even more familiar than ever.

I use this one to transfer big and small files and works very well.
