Oh absolutely, it really upsets me that they never dropped the prices down after covid supply issues were resolved. They were really proud of being accessible price-wise once upon a time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The power constraints are more important to most than the size constraints honestly.

Sure, but the above is from a gnu humour post that’s over 30 years old: https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html

OBDII exists and is reasonably open.

No, it very much is not just a thicker back. This comes with the next generation Z2 and Z2 Extreme chips.

They pretty clearly said they liked this form factor, which is quite different from a standard ROG Ally? I strongly doubt it’s going to have a locked down bootloader, so any firmware differences should be worked out fairly quickly by the Bazzite team et. al.

To be fair, the Legion S uses the Z2 Go chip, which is basically same benchmarks as a Z1 Extreme. If this uses the Z2, that’s gonna be faster.

The performance advantage comes from the fact that there isn’t a full-fat desktop running concurrently with the game. You’re booting directly into Steam.

Just install Bazzite on it.

Your monitor always needs to be plugged into the graphics card. If you plug it in via the motherboard, then your GPU is doing nothing, as it can’t backfeed to that motherboard connector. CPUs often have their own graphics built-in, and that’s what yours would have been using instead.

I agreed with everything in your first paragraph but your second one just seems like needless ‘holier than though’ drivel. Bazzite has it’s own unique pros, and both are great options for gamers.* However, when it comes to having a OEM-like experience on a Legion Go under Linux, Bazzite, Nobara or Chimera are a better fit. That’s my usecase and why I chose Bazzite, I wanted a Steam Deck experience with a better screen and more powerful chip. It was also well before SteamOS had any support for other devices.

It is when you use a private tracker and disable DHT, Local Peer Discovery and Peer Exchange.

Yeah it’s a little strange. Swift is Apple’s own programming language, and there was an older Jellyfin app on iOS that didn’t use it and so wasn’t fully “native” in a similar way to how most social media apps are just a web browser.

There is a native Apple TV app, I didn’t migrate from plex until there was and I migrated over 18 months ago. It’s called Swiftfin.

I’m not behind a CGNAT and that’s completely free. I do pay for that IP to be static though, but that’s only ~$6.50/month (USD).

You’re right, I misspoke with the term anonymous, it’s actually pseudononymous the same as Lemmy or Reddit are. It’s not like there is a published index of names to wallet addresses.

That’s the point I was making. In Australia, wire transfers through your bank are free, attached to a phone number or email address (rather than account numbers), almost always instantaneous and 24/7.

Not really. Zelle seems to just be US banks implementing the payment and bank-to-bank transfer systems that other countries already have. Except, at least for Australia with our ‘Osko’ system it has the involvement of our Reserve Bank and is mandated to be supported universally, whereas Zelle is completely private. The traditional lack of that bank-to-bank transfer ability is why apps like Venmo and Cash App have been popular in the US, which I think explains why Zelle has had an app until last month, as consumers expect that, even though it’s owned by the major US banks.

Taler on the other hand seems to be “What if crypto but with fiat currency and also the recipients aren’t anonymous”.

Do they still support the OVA installation method?
