  • I had luck with VNC, although it's still worse than RDP. There's also some RDP implementations on Linux that are apparently better, but VNC works well enough for me.But there's no sound, I don't know if RDP has that. I've used VLC for sound forwarding. I also tried PulseAudio TCP module, but that didn't quite work. With VLC I can do lossy compression.

    What I wish would work better is X11 forwarding. That could be so awesome, just having the remote windows local-like. But from what I can find, in the past, programs used X11's drawing features which would save a lot of bandwidth, while now they just draw pixel by pixel.

    To give you some idea, I've tried it on LAN with gigabit ethernet, ping below 1ms. It would saturate the port and still be kinda slow.

  • I also found it OK-ish, at least after my usual disabling of BITS and SuperFetch (SysMain now, I think), and disabling auto-updates, I think in gpedit.msc, and using the provided BypassNRO.cmd to create local account.

    Alright, maybe not that OK, but after the initial setup it ran fine even on officially unsupported computer made in 2007. Just had to modify the installer by merging W11 image into W10 installer.

    Anyway, the Windows store or whatever isn't that used, and I got tired of updating every random program coming from .exe files. But similarly I don't like the large hops in versions like Windows 10 -> 11, or similarly with Linux Mint, so I went with Arch.

    Anyway, I'll be a smaller minority. I most liked Windows 8.1. It was really well optimized.

  • I've been trying to find it for a while now, but I can't.

    Constantly plays at Tesco supermarkets, goes like A ha a ha a ha, yuhoo yuhoo yuhoo, a ha ha haa haaa haaaa. No lyrics, just womans voice making these, I guess meant to be "happy and excited" noises made into a song that plays on repeat.

  • But underneath it's just unicast to your phone, no?

    But anyway, beamed directly it may be, it's called beamforming.

    In the world of 5G, this is the act of focusing a wireless signal in a specific direction. Compared to simply sending a signal across a wide area, beamforming requires more sophisticated antenna technology.[...] Beamforming technology, on the other hand, sends a precise and concentrated signal right to your smartphone. It is more deliberate and intentional with its delivery method.

  • What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

    Jump

  • Sometimes the headphones are just a public statement of "Don't talk to me please.", and the music is just secondary. In that case, the looks may win.

    The projector thing isn't quite new, actually. Samsung Galaxy Beam did this in 2012. Though that projector was 15 lumens, Unihertz has one with 100 lumen projector. It also has a cooling fan for that, and huge battery that makes it a bit of a brick.

    I myself have Ulefone Armor 24, and I do like the brick form-factor, but I know most people probably wouldn't.

    These are listed for the Tank 3 Pro: 2G GSM (Bands 2/3/5/8), 3G WCDMA (Bands 1/2/4/5/6/8/19), 3G CDMA2000 (Bands BC0/BC1), 4G FDD-LTE (Bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/18/19/20/25/26/28A/28B/66), 4G TDD-LTE (Bands 34/38/39/40/41/42), 5G NR (Bands N1/2/3/5/7/8/12/13/20/25/26/28/38/40/41/77/78)

    You can find band number list on Wikipedia to get the frequency.

    Checking T-Mobile US website, it seems to lack 600MHz for both "extended range" 4G and 5G as well as mmWave 5G support.

    Keep in mind the possible lack of updates with no custom ROMs available. That just sucks, and is usual with such Chinese brands.

  • Yeah, these use MediaTek SOCs, and required source code is not available. Which is why the custom ROM scene is so lacking on MediaTek side. And I wouldn't expect updates from brands like this, unfortunately.
