Re:Latest build of Windows 11 has ads inside File Explorer on Tuesday March 15, 2022 @04:05PM (#30690805)
Preferring MacOS and Linux at workand for most home computing, I went with windows10 for my gaming desktop. I just wanted everything to work for the few hours/month I wanted to game. When I tried to use steam link I found out windows won’t let you boot into a desktop anymore, so I had to rdp into the box so steam can launch. WTF! As longtime poweruser all the dark patterns and user hostile behavior was astonishing.

After installing windows11 I gave up on it and installed Ubuntu/popos, almost everything works perfectly (steam+proton); positive side effect is I gave up on PUBG, not supported because of aggressive/intrusive anti cheat. One Chinese botnet less :P

Re:Ask HN: What are you favourite games? on Saturday February 26, 2022 @04:25PM (#30482112)
Absolute fantastic games, I’m a really huge fan. Those 2 games are jump’n’run puzzlers at first look, deep experiences when playing.

Different games but also spectacular:

N++ is a minimal but challenging jump and run, very barebones style but flawless game

Hotline Miami I+II Brutal top-down Action Game, Great Game Play, Stories and Music. Nice 80ies style, like old gta vs drive/nightcrawler

Look at this thread, a perfect example: We’re now not talking about the go developer survey, lost focus on the topic. Why? I want tech, enough social problems everywhere else I look.

Congratulations! Around 2004 maybe I guess I switched from mpc+k-lite, VLC is still unbelievably good and never gave me a reason to look for a alternative, that’s half my life. If vlc can’t play it I delete the file. I love to drop torrented movies to my iPad via Browser, or converting and streaming from iPad to tv in real-time. Before Christmas I used it for something very nice and spent 25€ on a donation and you can too.

I own the xm3, i own the Beyerdynamic DT770 which is way more popular with studios and drummers; passive isolation vs ANC is not even a discussion
