Just upgraded my hardware so I can play Starfield. And I bought an extra SSD just to dual boot linux. My video card is so new I can’t get the live usb to show any video.
Everyone else in my situation has to use the onboard graphics to install, but I have none. So I tried this time. But I’ve gotta use windows. it just works
You can get ReVanced which is a modification of the original YouTube app. It has pretty much everything except DeArrow.
https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager
You’ll need a YouTube APK file and it will patch the app directly on your phone, it will also let you select what “patches” you want. So you can customize your YT experience, but it works exactly like the official app in every other way.
I have every *arr in existence, I don’t pay for anything. But I have YT Premium Family. I still use ReVanced for sponsor block and other customization preferences, but I have it for my family so they can be bullshit free on every device.
It is the best Discord alternative, and it can be self hosted. But there’s no interconnectivity between instances. So not really a fediverse alternative
Every Larian game so far was exactly like this, they always did early access for cheaper then went full price when it came out of early access.
BG3 was full price from the start, probably because of the money they had to pay WotC for licensing
Gamepass ultimate has the same thing, you can play games on their cloud servers, some are natively controlled, but for the good ones you need a controller.
My wife wanted to spend more time together, got the 8BitDo controller that holds my phone and I play games while she watches her stories. Works well.
It’s Starfield I’m worried about. My system is below minimum specs. Helluva time to upgrade too
What I meant in this case was spyware. My father in law no matter how much protection I put in place always manages to install SOMETHING. He’ll even override the antivirus telling him the app is suspicious. He only goes on stock sites and business crap and sees no ads. Its always a casino game or something stupid like that. No idea where it comes from
But it is, it’s very reliable. So long as users don’t install anything, and there’s a quality paid antivirus solution and windows 11 gets blocked then very little will affect these installs.
As for security? Who cares. They’re checking email and using Facebook. They’re not running critical software, and as for reliability… Let me tell ya from an admin standpoint Linux is far from reliable, there’s a very good reason companies pay money for support.
I love Linux, but it’s my job. When I go home I just want the simplicity of Windows. Thanks to tons of useless certifications it does exactly what I tell it to do.
When family wants a new OS install I don’t suggest Linux or even mention it’s existence. They get a version of Windows 10 with the bloat ripped out and the inability to upgrade to Windows 11. 90% of tech support calls have been stopped.
What friends I have attempted to convert usually go back to Windows due to Nvidia driver issues but as we move forward and gaming becomes less of a hurdle maybe we’ll see more converts. Especially if Windows keeps pushing their whole cloud OS thing.
RelayForReddit but they’re all similar in experience I think, it just depends which app you found first.
Got an 8BitDo controller off Amazon, you can get a little clip for it that holds your phone. Best $20 ever. Kinda heavy to be gaming on the go but in bed it’s great
It has pretty good configuration options, I’ve managed to make it function like RelayForReddit the app I’ve used forever
I used Liftoff for a bit, but Connect has been the closest to the Reddit app I’ve used for a decade.
You can do it via VPN. Just a quick Google search found something but the link keeps getting edited for some reason. Just google it yourself
Tip: Don’t use Nord VPN. Try Mullvad if you’re going this route.
I doubt Apple would allow anything like the ReVanced manager to exist in their ecosystem. I’m sure someone will do something but you’ll probably need to be jailbroken (not sure if this is true, don’t use Apple)
Jerboa was ok, but things started to irritate me so I found Liftoff, which was a much more polished app. Currently using Connect for Lemmy as it’s the closest to my original Reddit app
I know everyone has made the switch, but the ReVanced team have stolen the API keys out of the real Reddit app and have made patchers available for multiple Reddit apps including RiF.
You’ll need a fresh copy of the APK and:

Obviously NSFW is a no go but everything else should work.
The ReVanced team have made patchers available for a number of Reddit apps including Sync
I priced it out recently and protonmail is more expensive than paying for Google business email and extra space. I thought about switching but I can’t think of a way it will significantly make my life better. I’d rather pay some money so hopefully I’m not the product anymore.
