Don’t forget that it’s riding heavily on the cinematic style of The Matrix. Doesn’t matter though, still an excellent movie, especially if you watched it as a teenager!


Very useful for the people who send out phishing scam emails




A couple of years ago I set up an old iPhone as a Spotify connect device (as in it sits in a speaker dock and I play music through it controlled by my phone). It was similarly unsupported but I found a not-too-hacky way of installing an older compatible version of the Spotify app via iTunes on a PC (which involved having to install iTunes and find an apple account). I imagine there are instructions both official and amateur available for you to follow, but hopefully you should still be able to install stuff on it. Just don’t do anything involving sensitive info as you’ll be out several years of security updates!



Depends what you want to do, really. I’ve got a proper PC for serious tinkering, my phone has all my private data on so I’d rather have the security that comes with blocking root access.


Strange that the focus point of this article is rooting, you can modify your device to install custom firmware etc without needing root exploits anymore!


…doesn’t have anything to do with warranty violation


Hopefully it’ll get a bit more traffic than !futurology@lemmy.world has


You’re still using fire for your torches? My condolences Uncle Sam, I didn’t realise how bad things had got over there!


So what actually is calckey/firefish? Is it just trying to be Twitter? Is it meaningfully different to Mastodon?



You can block users/bots on Lemmy too


I’d definitely recommend WSL, wasn’t to hard to set up on my own machine so unless you’ve got a locked down work machine then probably worth the effort


I find the audio quality to be pretty irrelevant when all I can hear is the bump bump bump of the wires bouncing against me with every step I take!


Workaround is to buy a DisplayLink dock which can run three monitors, insane that you have to use a third party solution though


Depending on your Linux distro you can manage entirely without using the terminal, there are plenty of graphical package managers. My point is that if you do need to do command line stuff then a bash terminal is much more user-friendly than the horrors of cmd or powershell!


It’s also not cheaper when you consider the cost and limited choice of console games compared to the almost limitless choice of things to play on a PC, many of which are free or can often be heavily discounted. Also I hear your can use your PC for other things too!


The command window uses all the little archaic squiggles around the edge of the keyboard

Are you telling me that cmd/powershell is preferable‽
