Thank you! It felt like they could have done so much with it but turned it into the usual monster movie. The first appearances where “it” could be anyone were the best.

It’s very different from his book but they’re both great on their own.

For me The Shining is one of the scariest movies and The VVITCH also comes really close to that feeling. For different types of horror I’d also recommend La Piel que Habito, Shutter and The Haunting of Hill House (the show).

And if you get the chance try the book version of Let the Right One In. It’s much better than the movie and more of a horror imo.

Not exactly mine but I’ve used it. I have a fast but data-limited internet connection and a slower unlimited connection. When I need the faster connection to do something I connect to it through wifi while staying connected to the other through Ethernet. Then use this project to bind a specific app to wifi while everything else keeps using Ethernet. It uses LD_PRELOAD to link its own version of network connect that calls the real method. There’s definitely a better way to do this with iptables but it’s a good enough patch for when needed.

I’m one of those who don’t care and it annoys my friends. I can tell the difference when comparing setups side by side but when normally watching content, a lower quality doesn’t bother me unless you literally can’t read the words on the screen so anything over 720p is usually good enough. Maybe other people have different thresholds.

It’s also about priorities. If you consider portability good, then no sound system will ever beat your laptop speakers just because they are already on your laptop. I assume it’s the same for people watching Netflix on their phone.

I’ve gotten pretty used to DDG’s interface. I’ll try kagi at some point but I don’t know if I’d use it full time.

It kinda depends what you’re looking for. For technical stuff DDG is much better than Google (I don’t know about kagi) but for local information Google still gives better results. Google seems to return what it thinks you want to search for and not what you actually tell it to so for exact searches it’s always worse. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for Google can be better sometimes.

I guess you can do that too if it’s an option. I’ve never tried it so don’t know how it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Services like lemmy, reddit, amazon, your bank’s website require accounts regardless of where you’re accessing them from. When you sign up do it using the protonmail address. After you install the app on your phone (through the play store, f-droid, or anywhere else) log in to the account you made using protonmail. The gmail address doesn’t have to be part of this.

But you can just ignore the Gmail address and use proton for everything. So if you install a lemmy app from the play store (using the Google account), the lemmy account can use the proton address, it doesn’t matter how you installed the app.

You can use a Google account only for the play store and not use Gmail at all. No need to connect that to your proton email and it’s still better than having everything on Google.

If you just want the file explorer feature, windows also supports ftp, though it’s a bit hidden. You can get an ftp server app on android and use ftp://phone-ip on the file explorer path input to access the phone’s files.

I don’t care about keeping books on selves and ebooks and paperbacks are easier to read. Hardcovers are always so heavy.

I had totally forgotten about 1899. I think it had as much potential as Dark, just didn’t have a great first season. And the multiple languages was an interesting concept.

Oh I hadn’t heard of those, added to the watch list

There are many good thriller/horror movies in spanish.

• La piel que habito
• REC
• Los ojos de julia
• La cara oculta (I think this one’s from Colombia)

Shutter is also a great Thai horror movie.

From my country Murderess (Φόνισσα - Greek) from last year is pretty impactful.

Used to be max 200€, then 300€ and my last phone was 220€. But prices keep rising and next will probably be 500. I never do trade-ins though and keep using the old phones afterwards.

Not sure about hangout, meet works fine just without some features. The main ones are sharing a specific tab and blurred/custom backgrounds but there might be some other minor stuff that I’ve never tried.

If it provides specific answers though, it might as well be a form. It only makes sense as a chatbot to make it easier to connect with a human using the same interface.

Except for the obvious ones (keys, id, phone) I always carry a USB C to C cable and a small bag with pretty much every USB adaptor I could find. The point is to be able to connect anything to anything. It sounds a bit weird but I’ve used it a lot. There is also a USB stick with 3-4 live OSes through Ventoy but that one isn’t as useful.
