3d printing: Xbox gamepad holder with the 3d printer for the LeetDesk

I recently found an offer for “Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It’s About Time“ on Steam. The platform game is quite well-known and much more enjoyable to play with a gamepad. So I took out my XBox One S wireless controller and am now playing it with it. A new accessory has now been added to my LeetDesk Dark Pro so that it can be stowed away easily. Simple, but very effective. :)

3d print: Image hanger (incl. download)

I bought new pictures to hang up. Two of the three pictures had a plastic hanger attached, which is supposed to make hanging them up easier by allowing the nail or screw to be clipped in at several points.

PW3d: Server-Update 2024

Since my old vServer has been experiencing outages and severe delays from time to time recently, I have now updated to a new, faster vServer. It didn’t have so much to do with the old vServer, but rather with an “old“ virtualization solution from Strato that simply didn’t distribute the resources on the server properly. Now it should work better again. :) The update seems to have been successful, but if you still notice something, ...

Sailfish OS: Rumors about Sailfish OS 4.6 and new smartphones

FOSDEM took place in Brussels and there were some very interesting rumors about new versions and new supported devices, which I would like to talk about in this video. And if you’d like to answer a few questions from Jolla to help them understand what their customers want to see in the future, please let them know here (note: this is done with Microsoft Forms): Survey
