    Looking for dumbest of dumb phones

    Neither 4g nor 5g require GPS to my understanding, and will work fine without that extra radio... that every phone has anyway. Also, 5G-Advanced exists to make GPS et al even less necessary, though I don't know if it's in phones and networks yet.

    Next GPU releases: 2025 edition

    Has there been any talk from an OEM about raising system voltage, or is this just forum EEs spouting off?

    Fallout 4 has actually been out for quite some time now

    that depends on how much goddamn dialog I get stuck in.

    Fallout 4 has actually been out for quite some time now

    Oh, I know all about Bethesda's fondness for clown shoes. I went back and grabbed that mod; capping FPS is a fast track to motion sickness for me, and I do my best to avoid it. Though every interesting mod I've looked at was was either updated for the current release, or just doesn't care.

    Fallout 4 has actually been out for quite some time now

    God help me, I'm going to play Fallout 4 again. I've built a mod list of some basics, and some things that are new to me. Mostly what's needed for Sim Settlements 2, some sort of gear rebalance (Lunar Overhaul?), and what looks like a small expansion for the minutemen (You and What Army 2)...

    Warframe: Techrot Encore

    I still think the game would benefit from applying a square root function to player damage output. Cube root, maybe.

    Stellaris: 3.99 open beta

    I keep getting sucked back in to try the newer betas, and keep finding more outrageous problems. Having a tolerable run in 3.99.3, and I've got a one planet vassal. Time to integrate them... oh, that will take 1900 months. No thanks. Kick them free, wait ten years, attack... and I can't invade...

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is nothing but a big grind

    You can use this one. That used to be three, with the same name. PM me if you want your existing posts in this thread moved over.

    Gaming deals, half price caplets

    This week's free game at EGS is Jurassic World Evolution 2. I haven't played this one yet, but the first one was fun.

    Stellaris: 3.99 open beta

    Man, I hope 4.0 works out, but 3.99 is 100% trainwreck. I just cannot get the population management to work.

    Stellaris: 3.99 open beta

    Yeah, despite my protests, it ended up being basically the same cost to get Cosmic Storms along with the other two I didn't have compared to just ignore it, so... now I've got storms. yay. Playing with the new beta and no mods is just surreal. Completely different game than I'm used to...

    The Tabletop RPG Thread

    Busy couple of pages. For TTRPG combat, there are plenty of legitimate places to land in between "tonight, after the poetry slam, my surrealist improv comedy troupe is settling the score with a gang of rabid mimes from the fae realm - winner takes all hats!" and "Silence! I am playing SIMULATED...

    Buy a proper string retainer to stop a buzz? In this economy? (That might be the least wrong thing about this bass at the moment)

    I (professionally) killed a Core 2 Duo board with a bios update in about 2017, and nobody has done so since.

    DAC means instant blue screen of death. What to do?

    The solution is to not buy a headphone amp with a built in battery unless you explicitly need that functionality. If you're plugging it into a laptop, you probably don't.
