Pretty sure space is something we have in abundance.

Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

[–] root@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Very interesting. Are those custom maps on the Steam Workshop?

What do we do when all the crts are gone? in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

I think early generation CRTs had mercury and lead in them, which made them not enviromentally friendly. Not too sure if there are any modern materials which can replace the hazardous ones.

Google can gargle my LineageOS (Just managed to install LineageOS after waiting nearly a week for Motorola to allow bootloader unlocking) in c/android@lemmy.world

I'm still sad that ASUS no longer allows bootloader unlocking for their Zenfones.

I remember back in the day when i was muckimg around with my HTC Desire Z, there were loada of custom ROMs out there and I don't think there were device blobs back then? If that could be done back in the day, it should still be do-able now? Unless Android has become so much more complicated now that it is a very big task?

Murena's HIROH Phone is a premium smartphone that runs de-Googled Android & has privacy kill switches in c/android@lemdro.id

LOL.

It would be great if there were more options for phone sizes. Not everyone wants a device they needs ro use both hands just to type message or even the most basic task of reaching the top of the screen without adjusting the grip.

So yeah, most phones are phablet sized. :p

Ender 3 v2 and new to 3D printing in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

[–] root@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago (6 children)

I have and still use an Ender 3 V2.

One of the many upgrades which i think makes the most improvent / quality of life upgrade is the Z level probe. Either a BL touch or a CR touch will work. It helped me tram the bed as well as built a mesh of the bed.

"Professional firmware" is also a good upgrade. Lots of improvements over the stock Creality firmware.

Once you have been printing with it for some time and feel like tinkering a bit more, "Belted Z" mod for the Ender 3 v2 is another upgrade I did which was really great. It replaces 1 lead screw for 2 belts on each end of the X gantry to prevent sagging.

I also recently upgraded from the stock ender glass beds and replaced it with PEI sheets. I get the choice of either textured or smooth beds and the prints pop right off. No need to wait for it to cool down or having to pop it in the freezer. LOL

What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

[–] root@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Rebel Galaxy - country rock genre? Very unique and different sort of music.

Trine 1 & 2 + Transport Fever 1 - instrumental background music good for concentration, working, studying or just relaxing.

Poll: Which abandoned Android phone features do you miss the most? in c/android@lemdro.id

[–] root@aussie.zone 12 points 5 months ago

Sub 5" screen, 3.5mm jack, removable battery, 2-stage camera shutter button.

My old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact had all of those, except for the removable battery.
