With Gareth Myles and Ted Salmon RSS Link: | | | | | | | Feedback, Fallout and Contributions Andy Morris Just been listening to the latest Podcast, and got to the bit about Duty Free and paying in. the US. The reason @Gareth Myles that there is a 6% charge is the conversion to GBP plus a charge to do so, you should always pay in the local currency.. And the way they do the duty free collection is the same as what happens across the globe not just the US (had it in Hong Kong) where you collect at the gate... None of this has anything to do with Tariffs. The...

Dennis Schreiner on Linux Mint and BeeLink Sluggishness
I just wanted to say that I have a Beelink with Ryzen 5800 U and Linux Mint is not running well for me on it either. I think Mint is the Problem since it switched to Ubuntu. I have since had a lot of performance issues with it. Also in the Top Linux List it’s going downhill. I wouldn’t now recommend Mint anymore for beginners and low-spec’d PCs. Since I switched my BeeLink to Fedora Linux (KDE Plasma version) it’s very smooth-running again. Also Fedora is pretty easy to operate. Bazzite and Nobara are also beginner-friendly with low spec requirements. I’m enjoying TA, thank you :)
Ujjwal Sehgal on Retroid Pocket Classic
I bought this thinking I'd use it purely for retro gaming but it's starting to become a favourite overall retro gadget. Beautiful OLED touchscreen. Runs Android 14. Google Play store present. Snapdragon G1 Gen 2. 128GB of storage. microSD slot. Icing on the cake is the head phone jack. I find myself using it to listen to music when I'm away from my phone. The squareish screen is great for watching old 4:3 TV content. It kind of feels like what GameBoy could have been if it were released today! I remember using my original PSP in the same way when I was younger. Feels like a nostalgic digital detox device - as the screen aspect ratio is awful for email, WhatsApp or any social media apps!
