If that is the case then it’s better but I’d still shut it off and err on the side of caution. The Apple demo video does not mention needing Air Drop enabled, only that both users need to be signed into iCloud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZL5D1k-4aI

Except if there is the possibility of it happening without their knowledge/consent, the other person could use even the name for further social engineering. It’s better to not give out any information automatically. Granted the user has to approve a Name Drop share but the screen does display the user’s contact info that would be shared either way, so if the phone is visible to the person trying to obtain the info, they’d still be able to see it even if the target doesn’t approve the share.

It is a bit overhyped since it’s not like someone shady can go around sniffing everyone’s contacts automatically, but it’s still worth tuning off for anyone who is privacy or security conscious.

Hopefully they do a PC port of this one, too, eventually. The first game (and Miles Morales) worked great on Steam Deck.

I have 5 different Orange Pi devices of varying types and they all work well. I don’t have the higher end one that was competing with the Pi 4 and such, but some of the smaller/low end ones. They all run Armbian and do what they need to do for me without any fuss. Given my experience with the smaller ones if I needed something faster now I wouldn’t have any reservations about buying the bigger ones.

The main problem I had was finding reputable sellers, even when I did find one it only shipped from China. Took them a while to get here but otherwise it was fine. I think the more popular/faster models may have some resellers on Amazon that ship from the US now.

Stray. There were lots of times I’d perch up high and look around at everything going on below.

Inertia was carrying me as well. First it was $35 for premium, then $70 for several years, and then last month they announced it was going up to $130 and that’s when I bailed.

At $70 it wasn’t too bad and I stayed the last year or so also because they actually published a native Linux app that worked on par with the Windows and macOS app. I won’t say it worked great because since they moved it all to Electron or whatever it’s been slow/clunky all around. But at least it was available and consistent.

They still have a free tier but it’s locked way down (2 devices only, and accessing the web site counts as a different “device” from each system).

There is a recent thread discussing Evernote alternatives at https://beehaw.org/post/986939

Personally I exported my notes from Evernote, imported them to Joplin, and setup Syncthing to handle synchronization of note content between my devices. Not exactly a trivial setup but not difficult either. Also fully open source and much more secure.

I agree, it’s great on the Steam Deck. I played for a bit on my laptop and it was fine there but it was a much better experience on the Deck.

I’ve been looking into Logseq and Joplin over the last week or so, trying to figure out how I want to migrate away from Evernote since they are massively increasing their prices.

What I like about Logseq and Joplin both is that at their core it’s just Markdown files and you can sync them around in a number of different ways however you feel like, including self-hosting, various cloud providers, or locally and securely via syncthing (which is what I chose). With syncthing the content of the notes is never exposed during transit and it’s never stored anywhere I don’t control.

At the moment I’ve moved almost entirely over to Joplin since it’s pretty close to Evernote, but I do plan on trying to use Logseq and see how I like its journaling/block tagging type approach.

I went around and unlocked all the towers and found all the stables before I did 3/4 of the regional quests and ended up with it pretty early on. I haven’t needed it that many times, but it’s been invaluable the few times I needed it.

I like them both for different reasons and in different ways. In BOTW I liked the champions better, felt more of a connection to them. Also Revali’s Gale was the best. In TOTK, I am really loving the device building and fusing in general. I miss some of the weapons from BOTW but it’s great being able to fuse different objects for different effects.

You can cheese both in various ways if you want (Revali’s Gale, or a Hover Bike, can get you pretty much anywhere).

TOTK seems to have a lot more stuff around everywhere, on the ground, in the depths, and the sky. It’s even more fun to explore than it was in BOTW in some cases. Also Tears of the Kingdom / Tiers of the Kingdom is a great pun/double meaning.

Also the froggy suit finally lets you climb wet surfaces (and ice) without slipping.

I don’t like the grinding materials to upgrade armor in either one, though. So TOTK wins because I’m a cheating cheater who refuses to update the game so I can keep duping materials as I don’t have months to spend hunting down and killing monsters.
