iMessage on android as in android users would have blue bubbles on someone’s iPhone?
If that’s the case then it’s relaying the messages through an iMac or Mac mini somewhere which would require signing into an Apple ID so some third party would have access to all of your chats 💀💀💀
Wonder if they’ll release the OLED screen as it’s own part so previous owners can upgrade themselves.
I’ve no interest in the third party 1200p screen since I don’t need the hardware to struggle even more more resolution but a 90hz refresh rate would be great
They’ve seemed rather committed to replaceable parts. I think they’ll keep supporting it. Guess I’ll have to keep hoping a third party higher refresh rate screen comes out sometime. Im sure higher capacity batteries will eventually too
I take nothing for granted with this clown. The fact that he’s still a free man in the first place makes me weary of his impact on the future.
I hope he loses. Or better gets hit by a car before election time. But if he makes it to the ballot and his name is on the paper in November. He’s a threat.
Hey guys, I’ve never used Plex before but am looking to set up a server this week for me and my family as streaming bills are getting out of control. I have a small library of legally acquired media that will work as a good test before I go sailing for the rest....
I’m a PC gaming enthusiast and work in IT support so I’m very comfortable working on PC’s etc but just have never gotten into media encoding/decoding so I really am unfamiliar with the capabilities of UHD 630 and if it can handle the load
Using the external HDD mounts I could give it several terabytes of storage (though many more on the TD340 of course)
Seems from some rudimentary googling here that I may have drastically overestimated the hardware requirements for 2 or 3 4k streams. Seems the UHD 630 may be the move so I can save on power
I’m 8 years into the IT space and got my start at a help desk as well. Now I’m running a team for a large international company.
I’m not sure if Lemmy supports DM’s as I haven’t explored it much but please feel free to reach out to me with any questions etc and I’d be happy to give you some tips! You got this boss. 💪

Holy shit Thrawns Night Troopers were fucking wild. I never knew the imperial Aesthetic would mesh so well with like dark fantasy Roman Empire like wtf haha
Kenobi would have been an excellent 2.5-3 hour movie
The Leia plot was ok but double rescue was silly and also they barely introduce the Inquisitors and then essentially did nothing with them and also how tf does someone survive being run through with a blade by Vader twice? smh
Cut the Inquistor stuff and give me a focused rescue story with a face off between Kenobi and Vader and it’s perfect. I love the Inquistors. But the show didn’t do them Justice at all
Boba Fett was a gigantic L. No idea what they were thinking with that one. Mando S3 wasn’t exciting at all. I like the Bo content but it just had to much filler and Gideons story disappointed me
Andor was the fucking GOAT tho lol
I’ve enjoyed Ahsoka so far. Let’s see how it pans out.
I hope we atleast get a full episode of Thrawn. If they want to tease a potentially dark Ezra to end the season I wouldn’t be to mad.
He was towing the line with the dark side in Rebels. And although he fully embodied what it means to be a Jedi on the rebels finale he’s also still young and fresh off of roughly a decade of hanging out in another galaxy (with?) Thrawn
I’m taking it upon myself to post these discussion threads now.
That was a hype episode. Though I must admit I am mildly disappointed we didn’t get a tease of Sabine and crew and what they were up to.
Live action siege of Mandalore (no matter how smoky and low budget) was a fucking treat to see. Really fantastic seeing Hayden don the clown wars era attire.
Not sure how much of a LoTR fan Filoni is but does anyone else find it interesting that she’s been wearing gray this whole show but came back from the WBW and is in white now?
Order 66 is roughly 30ish years ago. Babylon is far to old to have been a youngling then.
My guess is he was on some far off remote world after having taken the Barash Vow after having committed some kind of transgression against the light. So he was off in exile when order 66 came down and would have been hard to locate. Obviously at some point he will have left that exile and continued on as a dark Jedi.
If you’re not familiar with the Barash Vow I would encourage you to read the canon Vader comics that take place right after revenge of the sith!
Having no one here to talk about the episode with tempted me to return to Reddit for the first time since June!
I thought todays episode was awesome. Fantastic duel content. Baylin seeming genuinely frustrated that Ahsoka defaults to violence was interesting. He may be one of the most exciting characters we’ve been given in the Disney era
Man is a fucking refrigerator of a knight and moves like a brick shit house while also dropping some mad persuasion skills lol
Rest in peace to his actor. He was doing phenomenal work with the character.
I definitely agree. Practically it’s likely due to the limitations moving from animation to live action. But my headcanon is just that she’s a bit older and that’s visible in her style.
Imagine if anytime she “dies” she gets pulled into the WBW and has to clutch up gulag style to return lmao
Like some sort of test. Hence the Vader music at the end of the episode. I bet we’ll see her have to come to terms with her anger or trauma with Anakin becoming/Vader
I think she looks the part great, Rosario is a good actress. I think she’s getting directed to be very wooden and I don’t love that. You can be stoic without being a one liner spamming wooden block.
Her and Sabine have virtually no chemistry on screen together and I think it’s the instructions they’re being given making them seem that way
I think the WBW is about to test Ahsoka and so that’s why Anakin is there but there’s a few things wrong. He has the wrong hilt (a clue for Ahsoka) and Vaders theme played (a hint for viewers)
I think she’s going to have to come to terms with the fact that this was Anakins destiny all along and even her staying in the order wouldn’t have saved him.
When she accepts that and accepts that she is not responsible for what he became and what happened she’ll be able to leave the WBW and it’ll likely make her a less apprehensive master to Sabine.
I typed a long comment and accidentally deleted it
Short version
Sabine and Ahsoka lack chemistry and that sucks. It’s like two rocks running lines together. They’re both talented so frustratingly this likely means they’re being directed to behave this way. Ugh
I’ve been loving this show but I can understand your gripes.
Without fail around 1.5 years the battery was almost useless and the usability would slow to a grind and it would get super warm. I had to upgrade often.
Eventually decided to try iPhone. I’m on a 12 pro that I got at launch still. Never used a case or screen protector. Dropped more times than I can count. I’ve even been swimming with it several times by accident. (Twice over an hour before realizing)
Battery life is greater than 80% of its launch life still. The phone still fucking works great, I have zero issues with it. I have saved money by using iPhone because I’m not replacing it all the time.
I LOVE Android for its flexibility and freedom of choice etc. those things can’t be taken away from that platform. But a phone that’s built like a brick shit house that just fucking works? I found that in an iPhone.
The rise of far right politicians and fascists is directly related to the dramatic drop in assassinations of political figures.
The solution? Start murdering fascist and far right politicians that exploit the working class and the environment to add to their already endless coffers. This is the only viable answer.
One that seems to have fallen out of favor the last few decades with these ultra rich fascist assholes being more prominent all over the globe the last decade or two
