USA still has 2G, but 3G is definitely no longer around. Those frequencies have been portioned out for 4G LTE and 5G.

PC gamers are finally embracing the controller, as usage triples [increase to 15% from 5% over the last six years] in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

I just played through Portal again, using a DualShock 4... up until Test Chamber 18. It was simply not possible to look left/right without ever-so-slightly moving, enough to miss falling back into the portal. Mouse and keyboard- cleared it instantly.

Edit: I may try again, using a controller that has 8-way detents on the analog sticks (i.e. GameCube gamepad)

Thanks for replying, everyone! This project is temporarily on hold; downloading and sha256sum-ming some different isos led me to discover that my main system has a RAM issue. 🤦

I just learned to not trust motherboards' automatic RAM voltage setting; only one of four sticks seems to be sensitive to the apparent undervoltage that it was running on.

Edit: I hope that whoever designed the style of RAM slot that has a latch on only one side stubs their toe every day for the rest of their life.

If you uninstall (or disable) Google Photos, that button should ask what app you want to open.

The instance has been ridiculously slow for the past week in c/main@sopuli.xyz

I'm using Jerboa, and can no longer interact as of a week ago; "This account is being verified."

I wonder if your K400 is defective. I have the old black & white K400r (refurbished?) and the batteries last for many months even when I forget to switch it off.
