Google has been harassing me to push out a new release or have my apps delisted. There is nothing new to add, nothing to fix, they just want a pointless new release.

I'm letting my apps die as well, why should I put up with needless churn.

So I absolutely get the syncthing guys rationale.

Hans Reiser was convicted of murdering his wife. He is ~~(was?)~~ in jail.

Minecraft can be pretty RAM/CPU hungry, especially if you want it to be playable. I can't speak to fortnite, but usually a games "minimum" requirements are not going to result in a enjoyable experience.

It might be better to save money for a better laptop than to buy a min spec laptop that cant really play the games

[–] CameronDev 10 points 1 month ago

Minecraft can be quite demanding, the minimum specs are a bit misleading.

If portability is not a real requirement, a desktop may be cheaper, but once you add monitor/keyboard etc that can defeat the savings somewhat. But you can also keep/upgrade the parts independently, which will be cheaper in the longer term.

At your budget, you want to be looking at second hand. New gaming laptops at staples are starting around $800. There are probably second hand bargains to be had, just look for anything with an Nvidia or AMD graphics card, and as much RAM as possible (minimum 8gb, ideally 16gb or more). Upgradable RAM might be good, but its very rare on laptops now.

I cant help on the second hand market, but perhaps its worth tasking your son with doing the research?

Think of a file system as a book. There is a table of contents, and then all the files are in the subsequent pages. Deleting a file is typically done by removing the entry in the table of contents, the pages are untouched, which means its a very minimal change.

Deleting an app should be fine, but if its an older phone, you may want to look for a migration path, as hardware will fail as it ages. Could be anything, battery, charging ports, buttons. One day it will die.

Avidemux is a very simple video editor, so thats half your problem.

I'm also still searching for the organisational half.

Additional info: The Beresheet lander that crashed into the moon a few years back was launched on a Falcon 9, but after that, he had nothing to do with it. It also crash landed.

I installed and uninstalled in 60s. It wasnt even close to an Age of Empires game. The cut scenes whenever anything gets built really killed it for me.

You may want to clarify, as patreon and kickstarter are often used as paywalls. Do you mean people can donate to a cause, and everyone gets the benefits?

Not a direct answer, because I don't know of anything like that, but can you make your cursor a cross hair, so its symetrical and transparent near the middle?
