It’s sad that people have gotten used to just throwing away stuff instead of repairing it. Sure, some repairs really aren’t worth it - like the screen I’d gotten replaced of my LG G3 that was prone to have this defect with its screen regardless of screen swaps and whatnot - but most of the time, it’s just minor things that can actually be fixed by non-tech savvy person.

I think it should be of paramount importance that more companies are held accountable as to the amount of waste they’re producing and how much they’re contributing to pollution and waste around the globe. Unfortunately, capitalism is a thing, so that’s not gonna happen.

Having repairable options for those that do care is awesome, though. If I could afford, I’d gladly go for a Fairphone if I ever need to replace my current phone (still going strong after 5 years of use). Until their mass appeal, they’ll likely remain out of my pockets.

Amazing, thank you. I have uninstalled this bs twice now and have so far been spared by another force install. I hope this works

Nothing I could find immediately. I found an Arch Wiki entry which shows that most features work out of the box. Not sure if that’s your exact model and can’t comment on how reliable the information presented is too.

It’s a Surface Go 2, 8GB RAM, I think - maybe 4 - and a couple years old now. Haven’t tried, actually, since I rarely if ever need the cameras. However, I read that getting the cameras to work is a bit of a hassle. Not impossible but annoying

Finally, I can proudly proclaim that I’m no longer bound Microsoft’s bullshit. Been a rocky start, but I’ve been happily using Kubuntu on my Surface for a while now, and it’s going awesome

I think your joke’s not getting through to people :D

Thanks for your input. Maybe things have changed for the better? I doubt a github page with a detailed wiki and guide on how to setup the device for Linux would exist if the performance were as bad as you describe it. Then again, maybe there is a big difference between Go 1 and 2. I’ll give it a go and see if it works

According to the github page I’ve linked to, I shouldn’t need to install linux-kernel. Which Surface were you trying to install Linux onto? Thanks for the help :)

I’ve got bad news, buddy

But surely they’re losing money on this because they have to create a completely different product instead of just using already existing supply chains and SKUs. Considering that the Pro is a low-volume enthusiast console vs. the Slim which is just a slimmer regular PS5, ie. the model most people would likely gravitate to when buying into the console line, it just doesn’t make sense to me

It’s so stupid that Slim covers don’t fit the Pro. Why create a nearly identical second line of the covers with just slightly wider margins instead of making sure they’re the same?

It makes sense. It has access to select games of all PlayStation consoles except PS3 and PS4 is - with very few exceptions - completely backwards-compatible, hardware-wise it’s a lot better than base PS4, a lot of good first-party titles. The price is the only thing that would have to go down in the next few years for it to have the same longevity as PS4

Come over to lemmy.zip :)

Everyone not vegan should watch

No doubt!

You’re welcome to do so! There’s a smallish HK community I’ve been subscribed to for a while now but there’s not been too much activity there. The game’s so universally loved, though, that there’s bound to be people looking for content. So more power to you if you find something to post - I’ll be happy to see something different than only FromSoft titles. :)

You too my guy 🐧

Appreciate your enthusiasm, dude. Thanks for that initial push :)

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I made a new community and wanted to thank you for the idea. Here’s to hoping that this takes off!

I actually hadn’t thought of that before considering I don’t know a lot about other soulslikes. It does make a lot of sense to consolidate them though, that’s true. It would be a little similar to shittydarksouls but if I let my community be not about memes exclusively, I might reach a different group of people.

I’ll make a community and see what its reception is. Thanks for the idea!
