Do we think it’ll be ready when they can give it specs to match the steam machine so there’s a single target for developers, or the more exciting option of building something arm-based using whatever fex wizardry is going on in the frame?

I’ve started using Ente and it seems pretty good. Reckon they just copied Google Photos to make it more compatible for importing/exporting?

Ente definitely looks like the first thing to try out as I’ve not got much of a self-hosting setup at the moment, thanks!

Tailscale the VPN for accessing it on the go?

It’s a good start for them but I find it too clunky to use

I’ll add it to the list of things to self-host one day!

Oh this actually looks great, thanks

The pope approves

Odyssey wasn’t a launch title and BotW was a WiiU game, but I get your point. Plenty of consoles don’t have many unique games at launch.

Since I started !freegames@feddit.uk I’ve not bought a single game but my backlog is growing way faster than I can play through it. Not a bad first-world problem to have, really!

I loved that game. It’s been a while since I played but I remember the only way I could reliably do the max-difficulty missions quickly was by using the brick spaceship to smash directly into the room where the target was or something insane like that!

Any beginner’s guides for this? I hadn’t thought about it until now but my fans do seem louder since I switched from Windows!

It’s basically an Android TV box (which as far as I can tell is just an Android device specifically for use as a smart TV) in the shape of a Chromecast dongle. I think you can probably use it almost exactly the same way you do with an old Chromecast and ignore all the apps (or at least install them once and then forget about them).

The hard part might be finding one, they’ve replaced it with a newer, more expensive 4K one so you might not still be able to buy the old (1080p) one from official sources anymore, but have a look and you might get lucky.

I was in a similar situation and asked Lemmy a couple of years ago, the TLDR is that I got a cheap (and confusingly-named) “Chromecast with Google TV” which you can install custom apps like SmartTube on and keep casting

Is it? I’m no security expert but doesn’t that go against things like the principle of least privilege? Even obsessive security people like GrapheneOS say root access breaks the Android security model.

A rooted phone is as secure as you make it, because you are in control of your device’s security.

I agree in theory, but you’re never completely in control of what’s running on Android because there are still proprietary bits (like device firmware) that we can’t replace, right?

Because unfortunately rooting makes the device significantly less secure. It was fine back in the day when a smartphone was a cool new thing to tinker with but now it’s got all my personal information and more on it I value security a little more.
