I have a gigabit internet plan with Comcast , cost me $80 a month. And yes there is a 1.2tb data cap each month. Every 50gb that you go over, you are automatically charged an additional $10. Oh I'll just choose another ISP...nope Comcast is the only option in my town. Not unless I want 5G cell Internet or satellite which is not super reliable or fast.

Yes SearXNG is awesome. You can even self host your own instance for added security/privacy. I have my own instance running on a free tier Oracle cloud 1core/1GB ram and it works great.

I got an 5800x3d and 64gb of ddr4. I see no need to jump up to a new CPU and invest in ddr5 memory yet. The performance benefit is only a few percent just isn't worth the upgrade in my opinion

The Dreamcast version of Ep1 Racer has better graphics, cutscenes, and hacks to get 60fps. Redream works on Linux

I have a brother b&w laser printer with scanner (hl-l2390dw) that I got after years of grief from an awful canon inkjet that would clog after 2 weeks of no use. Went through so many ink cartridges on that thing.

I love the brother now. It can sit around for weeks and when I do occasionally need to print something it comes out great. Sure I do miss printing color but I can always send a print job over to Walgreen or Staples and they'll have it printed out in an hour with better quality than a consumer inkjet printer can put out

Mine works with Linux so no issues there

Me too. Yea it looks like a European Starling. The juveniles are brown and adults are black with speckles. We get tons of them this time of year. They are very loud and bully the smaller birds. If he can't fly yet, you can try and put him back in his nest.

Thank you for everything you do. I appreciate the visibility into the technical aspects of the instance. That's what makes Lemmy unique. It's built for users by users. I'm glad I picked this instance back when this all started. Keep up the good work!

I have some tp link deco mesh units I got refurbished from the official tp link eBay store. They work great and have good coverage. But it's not open source and you need to use their phone app the manage them - but their app isn't too bad. It does everything I need it to do

Download another launcher, set it as default home, and forget about google's excessive ads. Depending on your model, you may need to run an ADB command. You may need to get a remote remapper app to remap the home button to open the launcher

I am using this one for my android tv https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.projengmenu
