So it's not really a 4K 1000Hz screen then, if it's just togglable between being a 4k 240 Hz screen and a 1080p 1000 Hz screen.

Oops, I misread, that was a different monitor

Maybe if you use a file system that supports compression, e.g. btrfs, bcachefs, F2FS, squashfs, or EROFS. Of course, you'd need to add a separate FAT32 EFI System Partition for the bootloader, not sure how to do that.

What's the difference between significantly and extensively?

A310 is the cheapest.

I wonder how well it does for transcoding on older computers without ReBAR, since apparently gaming on it is straight out broken without ReBAR. As in, it would actually freeze for a second or so every now and then.

The problem is the previous one only has 2G, and the 2G networks will soon be shut down, hence why they're making a 4G version.

Last time I tried it, the game's performance dropped severely when launched through MO2 in Wine.

Already daily driving it on my laptop, which uses AMD graphics, and my work laptop, which uses Intel graphics. For Nvidia, there's missing explicit sync (which should be fixed soon), and Steam completely freaking out (might get fixed by explicit sync). Kwin also seems a bit unstable on Nvidia, but I haven't tested it for extended periods of time.

I also have a computer with display on an Nvidia card via reverse prime, which suffers performance issues on Wayland. Might be improved on Plasma 6, but that computer runs OpenSUSE Leap, so it won't get that for some time.

There is also the issue of picture-in-picture, but that can be worked around with Kwin rules.

Could be that the graphics card is outputting an HDR signal (Rec. 2020 color space), but the monitor is in SDR mode. That would result in desaturated colors.

How the heck do people with 4TB SD cards do data hygiene wipes of their medium before crossing international borders?

They don’t

Where is that mentioned? I can’t find that in the article

@LaggyKar@programming.dev avatar

That doesn’t say that. Although the article linked from there does, for Pixels.

And thanks to specialized Pixel hardware, Pixel 8 and 8 Pro owners will also be able to find their devices if they’re powered off or the battery is dead.

Have they done anything about the lack of security? Last I checked, anyone could mount an NFS share and access it as whatever user they wanted, without authentication.

It’s not just about quality (AAC is perfectly fine quality-wise), it’s IMHO more about the extreme latency, and the fact that they have to to drop down to terrible-sounding HSP/HSP when using the microphone, since A2DP is monodirectional. Sucks that they don’t support LE Audio.

Not even better, it’s actually a downgrade from its predecessor in terms of refresh rate and SoC, going from 165 Hz to 144 Hz, and from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (which also means it drops AV1 hardware decoding, which its predecessor had).

This phone is the successor to the Edge 40 not the Pro

Not really, it’s closer to the Edge 40 Pro than to the Edge 40 in price. And the Edge 50 Ultra looks like it’s gonna be way more expensive than the 40 Pro, whle also having a lower refresh-rate screen.

Why do you feel the need to install an app for a coffee shop?

@LaggyKar@programming.dev avatar

That though would make it break when the host system updates glibc, just like it does in snappy.

Apex Legends streamers surprised to find aimbot and other hacks added to their PCs in the middle of major competition via anti-cheat software ( www.pcgamer.com )

Wow it finally happened. So glad I switched to steam running on linux mint last week. I refused to install helldivers because it wanted to install some no holds barred god level permissions anti-cheat software. Windows 11 was the last straw for me. Good times…...

All the easy options like from Amazon are DRM encumbered. But the DRM-free options are still available if you are willing to search a bit.

Are they? Where (other than piracy)? A lot of books seems to be sold exclusively with DRM from what I can tell. Some are even exclusive to Amazon.

Rooted users can probably bypass this issue with some Magisk modules the same way they do with GPay and banking apps.

That doesn’t work anymore due to hardware attestation

Proper firewall

What services does it have that are listening on external interfaces?

How can it tell the difference between spaces used for indentation and spaces used for alignment, if you use the same character for both?

What’s so hard to read about that?

Huh, I guess must be something dependent on the client. On the web I can scroll horizontally in the code box instead:

It’s too bad the native Linux versions of old id Tech 0/1/2/3/4 games aren’t being posted on Steam.

And worse, for the old id Tech 0/1 games it’s not even the Windows version, nor a native emulator, it’s running the DOS version in the Windows version of DOSBox in Proton.

Although now I notice this is actually a remake, not the id Tech 1 original.

@LaggyKar@programming.dev avatar

I know, you can set the native version up outside of Steam, (and they’ll probably be superior if it’s a source port). It would still be nice if the version Steam gave you was a native Linux version.

This is very outdated.

  • Catalyst doesn’t exist anymore, it was replaced by AMDGPU-PRO years ago.
  • The Radeon Mesa driver (radeonsi) is generally faster than AMDGPU-PRO OpenGL for gaming, and has been for years. On the Vulkan side, performance is usually fairly close between the Mesa driver (RADV), AMDVLK and AMDGPU-PRO.
  • AMDGPU is just the kernel driver, which is used by both the Mesa drivers and AMDGPU-PRO, so why is it listed separately?
  • For Intel, I think the hardware was holding it back more than the driver, especially since they’ve replaced the classic Mesa drivers with Gallium based ones. But now they’re doing the Arc stuff.
  • I don’t know if I would say that Nvidia proprietary runs well

My house doesn’t even exist on OpenStreetMap, so I don’t have much faith in it
