Honestly terrible, the Vita's WiFi chip is lousy so even with a wired PC and sitting right next to the router the lag is pretty poor.

Also the lack of additional triggers really causes problems for a game like Zelda where you're expected to use them a lot, you can use the touch pad but the lack of feedback makes it pretty unplayable.

Its a fun experiment though!

I stripped the exif data from the image... that's enough right?

No, but seriously - I posted this to /r/gaming and the mods took it down in 15 minutes...

 

Weirdly feels like its a little short on buttons though... 🤔

On behalf of my countrymen I can only apologise.

I honestly dislike him as much as you and it's worrying that we're increasingly turning into another US.

As others have mentioned though, the road tax rules (we pay very few tolls) have changed in the UK in April meaning it's now a lot more expensive to buy EVs than it has been in the past.

I expect that if you looked at other manufacturers in the same time frame their sales would have increased a lot more than Tesla's.

I will be using wanktank going forward, maybe adjusting it to "yankwanktank" for the especially egregious American monstrosities.

They're all based on others indexes to be honest so there isn't really one.

DuckDuckGo is Bing, Startpage is Google, Kagi is seemingly a mishmash of a bunch of search engines (including the Russian owned Yandex) Brave is independent but owned and run by assholes so that isn't much better.

Personally I like Kagi enough and it's independent enough for me to pay for it.

Still uses Google as an index so you're just giving them money indirectly.

Are you talking about the bookmarks bar?

If so, I had to use “customise toolbar” to drag it onto the space.

Hah! It’s funny because it’s true!

Because the “you wouldn’t steal a car” nonsense scares a lot of people off

Because some people want to support the creators of content but digital downloads from iTunes or whatever are more expensive than getting a month of a streaming service

Because there is a level of convenience of having thousands of hours of content at your fingertips without having to store content locally or finding it on a “dodgy” website. Setting up torrents / usenet is more work than giving someone your credit card number

Because a lot of people don’t know where to find content and if they did they don’t know the difference between a 480p avi vs a 2160p HDR DV MKV and get confused with torrents and file formats and how to get them on their TV.

Because - at the moment - the ads aren’t that bad, I got one ad at the start and one episode in the middle of an episode of Gen V - obviously they’ll add more until it’s as bad as cable but they’re not there yet.

I guess YMMV, I just tried a few places around me (UK) and it found them all. You can also defiantly tap on a place to select it.

Did you try it recently or a while ago? I know it was pretty woeful when it came out but it’s improved a whole lot over the years.

 

I posted this on Reddit a year or so ago but some may have missed it so I figured I’ll drop it here too :)

 

I’m having a hell of a time with my current ISP (sitting at 18 days now without a connection) and I’m having to bite my tongue every time I’m talking to them (Remember The Human and all that)

Whilst the front line support are nice people and answer the phones quickly they are honestly pretty useless and they never really sound like they know what they’re talking about, also seemingly none of the departments seem particularly good about communicating what’s going on so it’s hard to get a straight and useful answer out of them.

Have you ever lost it with a rep? What happened? and did it ever help push things along?

 

I’m not going to buy an Apple TV or a HomePod just for this.

 

Never again.

 

Just checking I’ve got them all?

 

I’ve not had a good day today. The kids have been shits, my wife has winged at me for not doing something I have already done, I’m hot, tired and stressed from work and fed up of not having a good nights sleep due to my 3 year old waking us up in the middle of the night constantly.

I want to rage at something but I can’t leave the house. I have access to a gaming PC, PS5 and all the movies the streaming services have to offer, my wife isn’t home so it’s just me and a couple of kids who should be asleep in the next hour or two.

I need some catharsis, what would you do?

 

I’m enjoying Yuzu with my PC hooked up to my TV via HDMI, however there are times I want to back out and get back into Steam Big Picture.

Is there a way to quit yuzu with just some esoteric button combination?

At the moment I’m having to Remote Desktop in to hit the Esc button and going from there, which isn’t really ideal.

 

I just checked IMDB and it has Cricket as the last episode of the season. Does anyone know if there are more episodes on the horizon or are we all done for now?
