Had some fun trying to find an email app in the play store .

Searched for some reccos on the web, got some to test.

Searched for blue mail, got two pages of ads on the playstore. Never found the email app at all.

Changed the search to EXACT NAME in Google play.

Couldn't find the app.

Exactly the same failure for proton mail, and Samsung email.

Had to install via the web interface because the search is completely focused on getting me to install Edison fast email or outlook lite.

@arstechnica too late. Copilot being the focus of all of your development for the forseeable future was bad.

The fact that you even have this nightmare as part of your OS has made Win11 being on anything that connects to my network a complete no go.

Thank you and for putting me all the way into "if it doesn't work on linux directly or in a bottle I don't need it" mode.

2025 will officially be the year of linux on the desktop and microsoft has forced it to happen.

Booting Microsoft completely due to #AI bullshit moves.

#fedora, buddy, why do I download a 4gb iso for install then have to do 4gb of updates on first boot?

There's gotta be a more efficient way to do this.

@vwbusguy I evaluated those a few weeks ago and use them on my VR machine and my rog ally (via ).

I do too much oddball crap and container/VMware specific junk on my main workstation for them to be workable yet.

I do love the direction they're going in tho.

@jake4480 without eye tracking or any of the other features that make it compelling.

Do not buy this until Sony releases real drivers or the hackers work out how to make it function properly.

8 days later the has some 22T temp disks running my 55T of "stuff" while the 15 8T's get a full scan. Once that's done the zfs pool will be re-created with better parity and a hot spare.

Thank goodness for ddrescue tho. Thought I lost it all there for a few days.

It looks like the only real option for a fully functional DEX (and other things) dock is a Lenovo Tab Extreme eh?

Well, I'm gonna find out!

I hear it has actual video in so it can be a travel monitor, passes the keyboard/trackpad and touchscreen properly to the USBC input too.

I tried the Dopesplay things but the pixel density sux.

I may sell my Tab s6 LTE and Zeph G14 and move all of my travel work to the ROG Ally.

Less stuff, same or better functionality...

WagesOf,
@WagesOf@gamepad.club avatar

Well, that was quick.

The keyboard and mouse on the dock don't pass thru to the usbc dock connection.

Back in the box, for what looks like the fifth time according to the "inspected" tape being layers thick.

Amazon Prime now comes with free Grubhub food delivery

Amazon now offers restaurant food delivery. And if you pay for Amazon Prime, the delivery part is free.

Amazon says the ordering experience is “identical” to ordering from Grubhub’s website or app and is accessible to all customers, even without Prime.

@gtbarry Give it a month, grubhub will be used only by prime users because the fees are being passed on the the restaurant and they have to set the prices 20% higher to absorb those fees.

Just like every restaurant's menu is already 20-40% higher priced online because they get shafted by all the delivery services.
