Third Secretlab, it’s still pricy but far more affordable than HM, has all the lumbar support, and whilst it looks gamer-y it lacks the awful shoulders that makes it bad for you so it’s actually comfortable.

I had to WFH at my parents for 1 day the other week, couldn’t believe how bad my back pain got from 1 day in a crappy office chair. Their support was good too, my magnet head rest kept falling down so they sent me a brand new one

A second hand NUC off eBay

I’m actually playing the 360 HD Collection on my Series S, but thought I’d mention it here as MGS3 is on switch too.

Although from what reviews I’ve seen, it seems to run mostly fine but graphically lacking compared to the others

Metal Gear Solid 3. Finding it much harder and different to 1+2 but I’m liking the story and the relationships Snake has with his team.

I find it easier. It’s also safer, backing out of a space you’re more likely to hit someone walking or driving past. If you find reversing in to a space hard then maybe you shouldn’t be driving a giant metal death machine.

If my work tried to end WFH I’d leave instantly.

2 hours drive a day is not only a waste of my time but my money on fuel.

Yeah, both are great games.

I email ePubs to my kindle, I’m told Amazon automatically converts them, I’ve had 0 issues.

But calibre can convert them anyway.

This game is as much like Vampire Survivors as Overwatch is like Team Fortress 2. Similar looking genres but the gameplay is wildly different when you get around to playing it.

It only cost me a few £ on Steam so was well worth it.

No. It’s from Special Alphabets 4. https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1683428660915625989?t=61yiSztLYwYk44zLQ1HVrw&s=19

No. Instead everyone is enjoying using Telegram far more than buggy Signal.

Totally. My setup is on a NUC8i5BEH.

Handles 4K Plex like a dream, all the *arrs, multiple website services. I have about 50 or so containers and it doesn’t get close to full CPU usage.

Yeah but it’s solidified that I won’t be doing it again. Switch emulation is brilliant, with another underpowered Switch console I don’t doubt emulation will be easy.

Pretty much, I don’t want a Switch. But I’m required to have one to play Nintendo games legally. Considering how little I play my Switch I think I’m just going to wait and see how emulation for Switch 2 goes.

I’d like it to be modern. Up to date specs that can have games that look good, rather than releasing dated hardware at launch.

I’d like a console only version without a screen, like how the PSVita had the Vita TV. I have no interest in a portable Nintendo, I only play docked.

The ability to play old games on it. Switch games at the very least, but similar to wanting a console only version, add a disc tray and let me play GCN and Wii.

Ok, good for you. That doesn’t change the fact that out of a group chat of 8 people, it happened to every one of us, it’s happened to others and they raised issues on GitHub, and no one in my group wants to use Signal anymore.

Or should I tell them “Xengi on Lemmy said it doesn’t happen to him so we must move back to Signal”?

I started on PiHole, but when I found AdGuard Home I tried it and it’s so much better. My group chat that self hosts ended up swapping too.

The interface is so much cleaner and easier to use, anecdotally it’s so much more reliable. And have more features built in from the get go.

Plus you can edit it without having to refresh Gravity like in PiHole. Nothing major but it saves me a few seconds of time.

Pictures and videos. Memes.

It’s not just me, everyone in the group chat of 8 people had the same issues. I won’t be giving Signal another chance.

Issues have been raised for years with no fixes

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/4387 - closed but not fixed https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/9747 - 3 years old and not fixed

There’s more but I cba to find the issues.

Our group chat sends a lot of video memes. If they don’t play correctly then they don’t want to use Signal. We moved away from Signal 2 weeks ago. We’re in no rush to try it again.

My friends and I tried Signal after the whole WhatsApp privacy issue thing arose.

Signal has been nothing but issues for us, plagued full of bugs. Images half the time would refuse to send. Videos would send but the audio would be slow even though the video itself was fine. Chat would load 200 messages prior then scroll down to the bottom on its own. The app doesn’t have a good way of handling media so it’d grow to be 50GB in size, then if you backup Signal messages that’d double in size again.

Our group chat recently moved away from Signal, it’s not perfect but at least are media is sending fine.
