[–] dudesss@piefed.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I use the web app for Qobuz, and it looks and feels like a regular Qobuz app.

PCI-E, Wifi / Bluetooth Card is missing both antennas (piefed.ca)
 

Can I interchange them with antennas from other cards? What should I look for? I have a Wifi 6e card if that helps. I'm not sure of the Bluetooth version.

My Playstation controllers on Linux are having connection drift when my in-game character will sometimes not stop moving for a bit when I move in a direction.

Question: Is buying second hand repaired PS5 controllers a good idea? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

The seller said he replaced the Joystick with hall effect sticks so it might be fine. I think I'm going to buy it and try it out. I'm curious anyways how this will run, and it's cheap from seller that repairs them.

Darn Tough sock alternative? in c/buycanadian@lemmy.ca

Side note, I like to keep ripped socks and use them for dusting the house, or as rags for cleaning.

I worried about potential stick drift or other broken components. Sellers advertise that there is no stick drift, but I'm not sure know how easy that is to fix, and whether to trust them.

I did not retail stores can do this with cards. I'm not even sure how knowledgeable the employees know how to do this.

Question: How to max out prepaid credit cards? (piefed.ca)
 

If I have a Vanilla prepaid Visa for example, how can I max out the money I use on it. I have a $50 one for example, but when I try put $50 on my mobile service provider account, the card gets rejected.

Canada is hungry for alternatives.

The Postmarket OS Project Has Been Partially Ported to 10 iPhone models in c/linuxphones@lemmy.ca

My relatives have a throwaway iPhone 13 with a cracked screen I can use for testing! I'm not sure who to contact or where to start if I wanted to offer it for testing.

We need to set the ground work now before google closes up android in c/linuxphones@lemmy.ca
[–] dudesss@piefed.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Google is becoming more and more a pain the as releasing AOSP. And they're migrating towards more and more proprietary. I think the worry here is having the work power to keep it updated and maintained.

I'm guessing the idea is that with this effort, it makes more sense to migrate to Linux phones instead.
