Lol of course, but I have also briefly tried it on an s22 ultra, and it still wasn’t a great experience. Still not a new-new phone, but it still had similar stuttering/lagginess issues that just killed the experience for me.

But it probably depends on what each individual can tolerate.

Dont take this as an endorsement, I have 2 semi broken ones, but nexdock/uperfect make lapdocks. The touchpads are pretty awful though.

Having used dex on a Samsung s10, I think 1 still applies to some extent. But maybe new phones are better?

Single universal cable is pretty good though, definitely required.

Motorola have been doing desktop modes since the Atrix 4g. Samsung have had it for a long time as well (s8 or s9?). Its kinda crazy how slow google is at getting this out for stock android.

If your firewall is restricting outbound, that’s unusually strict. Unless you have a really good reason for doing so, your probably making it harder for yourself unnecessarily.

And you’d only need to do it briefly while doing the install, you can turn it back on right after.

If I am understanding correctly, your installers are failing because they can’t reach out and download the install files?

Have you done something to your firewall to make it more strict on outgoing connections? Standard firewalls normally allow all processes to connect outwards, and only block incoming, which wouldnt cause you any problems with installers.

If you have made it more strict, perhaps relax it while doing the install, and then re-strict it afterwards?

Alternatively, look for offline installers, and you won’t need to worry about firewall issues: https://support.bluestacks.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402611273485-BlueStacks-5-offline-installer

In the past, I used to deal with DLL errors

Can you elaborate on that? You weren’t downloading DLLs from the internet were you?

Edit:

To elaborate on my question, if you were getting DLLs from non-official sources, you could have collected an infected DLL, which might be tripping up the anticheat. Your best bet, if thats the case is to wipe the disk and reinstall windows from scratch, so hopefully its not that.

To be fair, I wouldnt be that shocked to find out thats how the maintainer of some core library exists. Permanently on life support, because no one else can understand their code.

You really got dogpiled hard there, as if being corrected half a dozen times wasn’t enough, they had to downvote you to oblivion as well :(

Old kernels still run on it, it just won’t get new versions.

The reason Linux (and BSD) is perfect for old machines is that the source code is available, so anyone can maintain it if they want to. It doesn’t mean the core Linux team has to maintain it for them though.

It’ll be filled to the brim with closeted gay men. Not allies, but not hetero either.

Fair point, they could accumulate grime or dust on the sensor. I have hardwired smoke alarms, no idea if they expire :/

Do optical smoke detectors decline? They dont have radioisotopes anymore, so should work reliably for years?

Alphonso is listening for TV sound signatures, which while definitely intrusive and privacy invading, is not the same as 24/7 listening for voice-to-text-to-ad purposes.

They would only need to listen for a second or so to determine what channel you are on, instead of all the time, so there is a massive difference in scope.

They are effectively shazaming your TV.

Still creepy and invasive, but not 24/7 recording invasive.

The myaddress+shop@gmail.com should be trivial to defeat by a spammer. Its a very simple string remove/replace to get back to a stock email address, or change it to impersonate another service, eg. myaddress+netflix@gmail.com.

It’s only useful for the actual service, after that, you can’t rely on it.

Is this not just vscode? Its definitely not eclipse, although from memory that could be served as a webapp through some fancy java to html thing.

Wonder whose responsible for the policies that created that? :D

One way or another, the server that hosts a resource can track who is requesting what. You as the server owner can just as easily track who is accessing what, but if you avoid using a CDN, then it limits the tracker to just yourself. The cost is that you’ll have increased traffic, and there is always the suspicion that you may have tampered with the lightbox.js file to do something malicious.

On the self include side, the instructions you linked seem pretty straightforward, so it should be possible to use it that way. What is issue your facing?

I could have sworn that went through, thank you for correcting me. I’ll delete the comment so no one else gets mislead
