Tachij2kfriends, I saw the mihon dev post somewhere that tachij2k shouldn’t be used anymore. Is there a reason for that? Everything is still working on my end, and until it doesn’t I intend to just keep using tachij2k unless there’s a good reason not to. I also read somewhere that the Dev for j2k said he was gonna make some changes, but I wasn’t able to verify that… Anyone know anything more? Thanks

Where are you guys sourcing your manga? I’ve bought a few on Amazon and converted them to epub. I also have some raws from bookwalker but as far as I can tell their stuff is super locked down. Where else could I acquire manga?

I remember my dad telling me about an article he read about the new Nintendo device that was going to have TWO screens. My 8 year old brain could not even fathom what that would be like… I do remember playing my gba sp and at one point closing the screen and then upon opening it up again later that it had died. I remember wishing that if there was only a way to turn the screen off when it was closed so you could save battery life… Imagine my surprise when I found out about sleep mode on the DS!

Now that I’m grown up and understand the anti consumer practices that Nintendo implements on its products enrages me, but fuck man, growing up I could not get enough of my Gameboy color, advance, sp, DS, Wii, 3ds… It’s so hard to hate them.

Green/blue bubbles is just a simple way to say sms sucks. Besides those stories about teens getting social pressured, all anyone cares about is basically just sending photos that don’t look like they were taken 20 years ago.

The issue with the fold is that it opens into a tablet from factor that Android has notoriously been awful at supporting. Even after the release of their new tablet and now the fold their support is severely lacking. Ive owned both the pixel and Galaxy fold and experience wise the Galaxy fold is vastly superior. Just the fact that whenever you open the phone it’s defaults to a portrait mode means 99% of apps “just work” and the ones that support a tablet ui get 10x better. As cool as the passport form factor is and how bad (to some, not me) the Galaxy’s super thin design is, the pixel fold just cannot compete due to Google’s failings in gathering support for tablets. I ditched my pixel fold for my old Galaxy fold and couldn’t be happier.

I don’t think there’s not an audience however; old people who want a bigger screen, people addicted to their phone, kids for big screen gaming, all great examples of how foldables succeed. I honestly think most of the hate for them comes from the fact that they’re big and bulky, especially from a userbase like Lemmy, which from what I’ve seen are predisposed to small phones. I think if every carrier just gave out a Galaxy fold then everyone who didn’t care about a small form factor would fall in love. I sincerely believe that they are the future and am dying for apple to release one, since that’ll be the nail in the coffin for traditional slabs.

A solid standard issue cat. Mine says hello

Damn, that looks great. Love the watchface and the fact it has gmt markings. Wish it was easily available stateside.

I honestly thought the same for a little bit, buying a phone with no camera bump is literally all I want… And comboing it with a foldable is a dream scenario for me. This moment @ 2:44 kinda kills the dream though. You can see it’s kind of cocked and it rocks during the video. I just hope one day people realize cameras nowadays are all so similar that we don’t need to keep making bumps 10x the depth of the phone.

Wow, based. It looks like her documentary is good too, I’ll check it out.

I was always under the impression that they are who we thought they were?

Cool to see they managed to incorporate it. I like the idea of face unlock but for me it’s not convenient enough. Hard to use like if I’m sitting at my desk and phones sitting on top, I need to hover my face over it awkwardly until it sees me, and if I’m laying in bed or on the couch, it won’t recognize me either. I’ll always be loyal to the trusty fingerprint reader.

Well, it’s marketed as an emulation machine, not a steam deck killer. In the niche it’s aiming for, it’s a pretty knock out device.

Nah yeah, they definitely can, I was just saying for me that’s what I like doing. The Odin 2 specifically can play up to PS2/gc upscaled to like 1080p pretty much perfectly, 3ds, Wii, and some switch as well, however the android switch emulator still isn’t fully optimized. I play smash melee or a match of Mario strikers on mine from time to time just when I have some time to kill.

You can stream games from your PC, if that helps.

I play mostly handheld emulators on mine, with some other systems sprinkled in. Handhelds have always been my favorite systems, so it’s lots of Pokemon, jrpgs on the Vita/psp, and whatever else games I missed growing up. If you want to buy one device that’ll do everything, it seems like the Odin 2 is it. It really is awesome having a dedicated device for emulation.

Yeah, it’s pretty terrible. For me a smartwatch should be complementary to the phone, reducing the amount of times I need to pull out my phone to do things. Google seems content on making you do everything you do on your phone twice, by making you repeat steps on your watch. With the pixel watch you’ve essentially strapped a standalone smartphone to your wrist.

For you, I guess free is free but there are a lot of design decisions that make me question google. Maybe one day they can match apple in the astronomical technical know-how required for alarm sync.

The pixel watch is pretty much the worst smart watch I’ve tried. I’ve used the apple watch s3/4/7 and the galaxy watch 4 classic and the 5 regular and the pixel watch is pretty useless in comparison to either, with the apple watch leagues above either. Basically every nicety I expect to be there isn’t. Alarms don’t sync with your phone, notifications go off on your phone then your watch as opposed to one or the other, do not disturb doesn’t sync with your phone, theater mode only affects your watch, the battery life is atrocious.

I get that it’s Google’s first go but I can’t in good conscience recommend it to someone else. Maybe with the 2 they’ve resolved these issues but what I stated to me I feel like are pretty basic features to include. Using my apple watch for the first time was great, it felt like an extension of my phone. Turning one setting on my watch affected my phone so I didn’t need to touch it. Setting alarms on my phone turned them on my watch so I didn’t need to do it again on my watch. Every time I use my pixel watch I have to remind myself to do it on my phone too so they don’t conflict. The health tracking is neat I guess but you need a subscription for Fitbit once your free one expires… pretty terrible. Look elsewhere imo.

This is one of those, “if you have to ask” scenarios. If the little voice in your head is saying maybe this isn’t such a good idea, maybe it’s not such a good idea.

I do it with everything. The only people who have my real email address are my family. Everything else is a masked email. It’s especially nice because if I start getting spam on one email I can immediately tell which site sold my info and I never use that site again.
