I've always wondered, since we only have front-load washers here in the UK, is there some sort of advantage to it, aside from space, which seems to be the obvious one, does gravity help with battering the clothes around when the drum s

I can't argue with that!

I have to agree, simply not buying LG isn't an option, we'd have to rule out just about everyone for the same reason. I have a slightly older WebOS LG TV, it has PS5, Switch 2, and FireStick 4K Max and an Onkyo receiver plugged in

This piece of news follows that of Copilot being added in an "update" to LG TVs with no option to disable or opt out. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46268844

Can also confirm, I have used the config modification to sync my Kobo Forma with Calibre Web since new. A quick config change to the store URL to point to Calibre Web, and some setup in Calibre Web and you're good to go. This is the gu

I'm a Linux user myself, and into hardware and self-hosting, so I have hardware coming out of my ears, but I wouldn't dare try and use a Linux box in the living room. My wife and kids use the living room TV most, I barely use it,

That's the one I tried on the Fire Stick, it doesn't always launch, sometimes launches a few minutes after start, and when pressing home it would go back to the default launcher. I think it's related to the accessibility sett

Unfortunately not possible on the Fire Stick (4K Max), Amazon have modified it to disallow other launchers; there are some "hacks" but none have worked for me and the closest one I did get to working was too much of a pain for the

I've been aware of the Shield devices for some years now, as an Android user, but something always put me off them. I lrecently bought the FireTV 4K in a last-ditched effort to find something I could at least have some control over; if

Thank you, that's exactly what I'm after. A quick search, suggests the latest is 3rd gen (2022), am I looking at the right device?

Maybe this is what I need to do. I disconnected our living room LG TV from the internet and got a Fire Stick 4K Max, but I hate it; 90% of the screen is advert, and you get a tiny sliver for the 5 apps it lets you see, and you have to go di

Last time I used Arduino was probably the late 2000s, as a kid/teenager,student their prices always felt too high to me, so I moved to "compatibles" or "clones" for a while. Once ESP8266 and ESP32 came along (with a

Agreed. I saw the Steam Frame announcement, and plan to get one as soon as it's available. I saw the mention of Fex then too, but absolutely nowhere, before now have I seen any information that they'd been working on this for the

We've all been there Jeff. In this case, I don't think it was forgetfulness; unlike us, they have an excuse and they were trying to optimise for disk seek times. Anyway, I've got a half-dozen cloud accounts I need to go check

I mean yes, it's a very nice looking game with fairly sizeable worlds and lots of different enemies, biomes, etc. It's currently over 100GB because of duplicated assets, so this is a game-changer (pun intended). EDIT: Just checked

I'm not entirely clear what you're trying to say, but, my understanding is that they simply put lots of copies of files in lots of places like games have done for a long time, in the hopes it would lower seek times on HDDs for tho

I don't think the addition of cloud-init deprecates anything or creates any issues with existing tutorials. What does concern me, is that the image I tried to customise and flash with RPi Imager yesterday to a Pi Zero 2 W, failed to pe

Exactly this. I'd been planning to upgrade my desktop as a christmas present for myself. Now I have the cash and was looking at buying my PCPartPicker list, the cost of the 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM I planned to buy has gone from £300-400 to
