    Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?
  • If you still have your game disk to rip you can use this to play it on pc.

    I have an old pc with an i7-6700 cpu and older graphics card using a ps5 controller I bought from a pawn shop. Been playing OG God of war and Shadow of the Colossus on it. Plays just as good if not better than real ps2 hardware.

    I would let you custom map keyboard keys to controller keys too

    How much of what you self-host do you keep LAN only over making accessible across the internet?
  • Sorry, haven't logged on in a bit. I use OPNSense on an old PC for my firewall with the wireguard packet installed.

    Then use the wireguard client on my familys phones/laptops that is set to auto connect when NOT on my home wifi. That way media payback, adguard-home dns and everything acts as seamless as possible even when away while still keeping all ports blocked.

    What’s the tiniest thing about iOS / iPadOS / macOS that really bugs you?
  • Sorry, my mistake. I just thought that a multi trillion dollar company that makes the hardware and OS for my tablet could install the calculator program from their other similar architecture hardware with an OS that shares a very large amount of the same code base (that actually used to be the code base).

    You are correct I should just do this other round about way that requires more steps to get the search bar opened each time to do what should be a very simple operation.

    HP raising Instant Ink subscription pricing significantly
  • Go into a store like Walmart and you will have 6 different HP printers, 1 epson, and empty spots where the 1 Lexmark sits. Once you get to rural areas you don’t have much of an option to specially when the point of purchase already limits your purchase options.

    Most people will not drive 1-2+ hours to get more options.

    Tom Emmer withdraws from House speaker race hours after GOP nomination
  • If they cannot figure out how to be a functioning working government I think we all need to strongly consider who we vote for next time around. Get people that are there to do their job, not fight amongst themselves.

    Has HP printers always been this bad?
  • I didn’t have the chance to try on Linux. Good to hear it worked for you Since it was for my in-laws it had to work on Windows 10 laptop and a Chromebook. I learned a few years ago I cannot guide them onto a Linux install as much as I want to.

    Has HP printers always been this bad?
  • Just wait till you run into one of the HP printers that will not work until you sign up for the HP subscription service, and only use HP subscription ink cartridges, and only if it’s allowed to access the internet to report back that it’s printing. The subscription actually set the number of pages per month you are allowed to print, on the hardware you have them money for.

    And it only works for a device with the HP app installed. Total garbage.

  • I agree. Pay the people a livable wage and price the product accordingly, with taxes included.

    But I do want to still know how much of the cost is tax. Basically an all in cost, but as transparent as possible
