Opening bananas.

Watch a nature documentary showing me a monkey knew better.

All aboard

Interesting.

Still waiting for this care in New Hampshire for all the forever chemicals in the waterways and ground water…

In the US at least, I haven’t heard of a provider not allowing you to bring your own hardware. For example, on Comcast, you can bring your own DOCSIS 3.1 modem that isn’t as full of software and doesn’t allow neighbors to use an Xfinity public network. Comcast even has a page for compatible devices. Save on stupid rental fees.

Yep. My sub expired recently and I didn’t renew. Inflated bs. Now I’ll just cycle streaming services. So dumb. Doing the same with Disney and their awful pricing.

You can purchase a non Google phone and put graphene OS on it…

Nice experience doesn’t pay the bills for a store owner who has more overhead than an online store.

Have you heard of graphene OS? Because this decouples Google and you still have an android phone.

Marketing texts are treated differently from transactional texts.

Yup, at 2.65% myself. Can’t imagine ever moving at this rate.

Yes, speaking from experience building ads on Google.

You’re tracked with an anonymized id. If they’re able to remotely tell any of your past activity or similar searches by others searching for the same term, then they will alter results.

This is especially true for any paid ads that appear since companies can bid to appear higher on competitor terms or names.

I can even say “if someone downloaded x-z specific apps on their phones, then consider them interested in my ad”.

Make sure all your apps are up to date. Then:

sudo apt install steamlink

Then type steamlink

Then when you want to launch steamlink, press alt+ctrl+F1

Then type steamlink

Acknowledge the warnings for low video memory (doesn’t matter)

Press enter the few times it prompts you

Then it will launch steam link

Connect your computer as you normally would

Then when you’re done with steamlink, stop streaming using the menu in steam.

Then press alt+ctrl+F7 to get back to your OS.

I’m doing this on Raspbian on both my 3b and 4 pi.

The subsequent times you launch, you will only have to type alt+ctrl+F1 and then Steamlink, followed by 1 extra “enter”. Use the F7 method above to get back out.

It took like 2 hours of random internet forum sleuthing to piece all this together. Hope it helps some of you!

Pro tip - Connect your Xbox controller to Raspbian and Steamlink will automatically recognize it. I have better luck with that than trying to connect using Steam settings.

For anyone wanting a console / steam link hardware replacement - get a raspberry pi. I run steam link on a 3b and a 4 and it’s amazing on both. I still have 2 steam link boxes from back in the day, but they have slower WiFi, are less stable, and still only work in 1080p. I have none of these issues streaming to the Raspberry Pis. Crispy 4k 60fps streaming.

You have to use a workaround due to some strange bug that Steam hasn’t fixed on linux, but it just means you need to launch it in a little of an abnormal way. After that, it’s ez peasy.

Goooood luck!

Everyone is currently poor as shit.

Thanks!

So what is that in total if you were nearly depleted?
