I have been playing videogames since 1992. Went through almost every controller design possible. From the modern ones, I never liked the layout from the playstation so sticked to Xbox. At the moment I’m using a GameSir T4 Kaleid and absolutely loving it. Mechanical buttons and hall effect joystick are very nice. Since I’ve had it only for a year I can’t say anything about reliability. Most reliable Xbox controllers in order are Xbox classic controller S, 360, One. After that every single one is bad IMO. Series controller start to drift pretty fast, same as both elites. So at the moment my most favourite is the Xbox One controller 2nd revision (1708) also known as Xbox one S controller but if the GameSir won’t break for the next couple of years it will be the top one for me.

I hope more first party controllers will get a proper higher tier version with real reliable parts like everything hall effect and mechanical buttons…

Just a small heads-up, don’t post the full code as a whole. Bots these day are cancer…

Double triple check everything and let a friend try to dig around… Befor posting your Infos make a post and chose a random comment or so. This way you can verify it’s not a bot

Sunk 2000hrs into Warframe without paying a dime. Also Path of Exile is a nice fair free 2 play game. For total conversions try Fallout new Vegas and mount and blade

You need to download an apk… Yeah…

It’s totally a scam!

Series X only

AFAIK only credit card, PayPal and sepa/debit card

Yepp, 1 ipv4 is included and domains are optional. Seems like ionos.com offers it for 2$ while .de is at 1€. https://www.ionos.com/servers/vps

Had this topic today with a friend. ionos offers 1 vCore, 1GB Ram and 10GB SSD for 1€ a month.

The response: we will repsond in 60 days…

“In its response, Tropic Haze has confirmed it has retained the services of an attorney from Pierce Atwood LLP, and committed to responding to the motion within 60 days of the date the paperwork was filed, which was 27th February, 2024.”

I prefer older used flagships. It’s hardly depends on the use case though. I don’t care about camera, games or what so ever. Phone, messenger and maybe a handful of apps for social and homelab. So for me it’s max 100€

This may be truth but I down voted because addiction and gaming were thrown into the same pot. You have to differentiate this topics a little… It’s the same like: car drivers don’t give a crap about the environment and drive like a*holes or people interested in football are drunken hooligans…

Too much of something is literally almost bad for a person.

Edit: plus it’s posted in a gaming community too

AFAIK the FritzBox switchs mainly to the faster DNS Server. I tried to use Quad9 with cloudfare as the second DNS server, most of the time cloudfare was the used since it was a bit faster.

Portal Revolution for me. I’m at chapter 4 and the Mod feels like a whole complete game. Totally worth trying and if you don’t have portal 2, 1+2 are on discount right now.

Is it custom build NAS or something like Synology?

As already mentioned for proper backups you should locate the NAS somewhere else.

I’m not an expert by any means so don’t take my word for it. I’ve tinkerd with some pies befor but this was my proper first project: a NAS for my family (multiple households).

If it’s for personal use, you can use a VPN to your local network. It’s by far the safest option and easier to setup.

I went with OMV (openmediavault) for local sharing as OS + Docker + portainer. For the backups and access I went with Docker Nextcloud and Docker Swag (letsencrypt) and a reserve proxy with duckdns since I don’t have a fixed IP. Nextcloud setup was the easiest part and not really a hassle. With a VPN you won’t need to tinker with the “access from net” stuff.

For syncing files on Android I would recommend Autosync since it’s the most reliable one IMO. No other OS tested so far.

Nextcloud can handle a lot on its own and for something special you will find a proper plugin. For the download needs you may find some docker containers.

Update: I got an reply from GameSir with this link.: https://www.bigeyes.com/dl-list.html

Your CPU should be more than enough: link

AFAIK Sega did it twice on the Saturn and the Dreamcast controllers… I think the problem grew over the time… Companies try to cheap out on parts as much as possible, try to limit the lifetime of said parts to about 2 years so people will have to buy new controllers…

“GameSir G7 SE” is pretty new on the market. The SE version has hall effect joysticks but lacks the mechanical buttons from the previous G7 model. Both of them are wired. Looked up reviews of them and they seem to be pretty solid for this price range. Can’t tell anything about quality myself since mine hasn’t arrived yet. When ordering, put it in your cart and fill out your adress and email but dont pay/checkout. After some time you will get an email with 10% off, later another one with 15^^

Right direction but wtf?! 35$ for the joystick PCB… nah thanks I gonna go and buy a whole hall effect controller for this price…
