You can still find them.

I've tried a lot of the launchers I see talked about frequently- Nova, Niagra, Smart Launcher, Action Launcher, etc. but they all seem to not be worth the hassle of switching away from pixel launcher. Also none of them have the Google News feed that the pixel launcher has. I feel like I'm losing features when I switch. Perhaps I'm just stupid and am not utilizing the features these launchers actually bring to the table.

Can you tell me about your favorite launcher and it's features that keep you hooked to it? Thanks.

For anyone who knows.

Basically, it seems to me like the technology in mobile GPUs is crazier than desktop/laptop GPUs. Desktop GPUs obviously can do things better graphically, but not by enough that it seems to need to be 100x bigger than a mobile GPU. And top end mobile GPUs actually perform quite admirably when it comes to graphics and power.

So, considering that, why are desktop GPUs so huge and power hungry in comparison to mobile GPUs?

Why does anyone think Google would shut down Gmail? You'd have to be stupid to think that they would shut down the most used email service on earth, one that is deeply integrated into Google as an ecosystem.

So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.

I didn't think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They're both just torrent downloaders.

Holy shit was I wrong. I don't even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don't even understand how.

A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.

Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?

It's not. I need more knowledge.

[-] Greyfoxsolid@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

My apologies. I'll be discontinuing it's use after this project is done.

[-] Greyfoxsolid@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

As a new user, I can tell you what some of the big issues are. First, ease of use. Lemmy is not as user friendly or intuitive as something like reddit. Second, lemmy is a dumb name. It's a stupid point, but shit like that counts.

[-] Greyfoxsolid@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Excellent info. Thank you!

[-] Greyfoxsolid@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Thanks! I'll give it a go after this is all done downloading.

The fastest option is 30 minutes intervals. Can you please add 5 minute intervals? 30 minutes is a long time.

[-] Greyfoxsolid@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Which would your suggest? It's been a long time since I've had to do a little pirating.

A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they're all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me...

I'm here because of sync. I'll be using boost for lemmy also.
