Nintendo Switch hacked to run Windows 11 on Arm, and it's just about as awful as you can imagine
  • Safe values will hardly make any significant temps increase, and still give you a better experience.

    What is wrong with the OLED version BTW?

    I have the original Switch and that thing can be hacked with a paperclip lol and after many years of usage and OC my battery and unit still performs well, according to some homebrew tools the battery is like at 90% of its lifespan, granted most of its usage is docked, but the "additional heat" is there yet.

  • Nintendo Switch hacked to run Windows 11 on Arm, and it's just about as awful as you can imagine
  • The performance is adequate for the typical Nintendo games but you can’t tell me the recent pokemon games or Zelda TodK run great, barely hitting 30fps.

    I think you might know this, but a hacked Switch can be overclocked (to both safe and unsafe values) and you can pretty much fix most of the bad performing games (you can't fix ass broken games such as Batman Arkham Knight though).

    So yeah, still many games will look and behave better somewhere else, but OC the Switch can lead you to good results, if you have any over there and wanna give it a try (newer models require hardmod, which sucks, but once this annoyance is sorted out, a new true era will begin for the Switch lol).

  • iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air
  • It is, but it would be like saying Android is just another Linux variant.

    What I want to stress in my initial comment is that the OS is so heavily modified and focused on optimization and RAM management, that it can't hardly work for power users when multitasking is on the board.

  • Best Lemmy App in 2024
  • Yep, nothing beats Sync, although the other existing apps are great, and have been great since the beginning if you ask me.

    If you wanna know why I chose Sync instead of any other app is because the damn app can survive even the worse ROM you use and it doesn't matter how atrocious your RAM management is, you are likely never gonna miss the position you left when you minimize and open other apps.

    The app basically saves the state where you were and it is highly unlikely that you lose the track of it, even on aggressive RAM management ROMs like MIUI, it still stands better than the others, I experienced the same with Sync for Reddit.

  • iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air
  • Perhaps with a more robust OS, such as Linux or macOS the battery and thermals would just not suffice?

    I mean, an iPad is basically a larger phone, which I think can get hot enough if pushing it to its limit

    Also I don't think the RAM would be enough for intensive tasks, the device as it is could be pretty good for gaming though, if only the title list wouldn't be a shit for the most part.

    But at the same time, a MacBook Air doesn't seem much bigger compared to the biggest iPad available.

  • Apple Will Revamp Siri to Catch Up to Its Chatbot Competitors [using generative AI]
  • This makes sense, now that I think about it, there used to be a tweak that mimics Siri for devices that didn't support it, it was called Sara lol.

    And yeah Siri was better but still Sara shipped some interesting ideas like keyboard support, like any ideas that Apple took from old tweaks.

    Interesting that they ranked Phantom Hourglass as number 1, nowadays it is considered one of the worst Zelda games... And I don't agree at all.

    Does anyone else also "hoard" Stremio add-ons?

    Long time Kodi and Plex user, it was a matter of time that I started messing around with this.

    PSA you can use Scaled and Controversial sort types in Sync for Lemmy even if it hasn't been integrated in the app if you set them as your default sort type in the web page settings.

    Hi, as soon as I noticed this was a thing I headed to this community to let anyone else know that you can use the newest sort types in the Sync for Lemmy app with that nice workaround... But I just found a lot of "Sink and Sync threads" here that I actually thought the sort bugged my app/feed lol, what a good timing.

    Anyway I hope this is useful for you guys until the new update arrives... Soon ^TM

    It kinda sucks that my favorite format, handheld is so low compared with the other hardware (yeah, I'm not considering mobile as handheld lol).

    Is Lemm.ee a bit slow for you guys?

    I have been noticing it taking longer loads times since today...

    Tested using Sync for Lemmy mostly, but also happened with Voyager.

    Is anyone experiencing this high background usage with Sync?

    3 hours in the background seems a lot to me.

    I started the app clean and configured it from the start (it was a pain in the ass because I migrated my settings from Sync for Reddit lol) and the issue still remains, having this huge background usage prevents my phone from going to deep sleep properly which lends to a bigger battery drain.

    EDIT: BTW the issue is gone when I set the app to restricted battery mode instead of optimized... But I'd rather keep it in optimized as it closes less often in the background, that is how I had it with Sync for Reddit, which on average its active background was several minutes only.

    EDIT 2:

    This is the process that Battery Guru/BBS says shows

    Remember guys, this is why we don't pay for the apps.

    This is the app called Franco Kernel Manager, one of the best kernel managers that are out there... Even when it was outdated (which I think that's the cause it got booted from the PlayStore?).

    I used it to check the process of my phone and monitor the active and idle drain mostly, I paid for it a long time ago, but now it just fails to check the licence and it doesn't let me use it fully... I think there must be a cracked APK over there...

    EDIT:

    Fortunately the app is back in the store and hopefully that update version comes soon enough!

    Are there any people who hates music?

    I'm not saying particular genres, we all have our less desired musical genres, I mean music in general.

    When I was a child I was very confident to say that I hated music, all kinds, and my cousin used to say that was not possible.

    Turns out he was right, and I only hated the teenage music my sister from the 90s used to listen to.

    Secretly I enjoyed soundtracks and OSTs from several media, such as animes (digimon openings and battle themes for example) and some TV shows or even videogames.

    Then my taste "evolved" and pretty much stayed at rock, heavy metal and alike.

    So that little memory lane inspired me to ask about this.
