An just 30-something Software Dev that enjoys gaming, woodworking, electronics and plenty of other hobbies. Too many hobbies.
My gaming rig was the first thing to go full Linux because I was sick of dealing with windows for a HTPC and wanted bazzite for the steam gaming mode. Not had any issues yet.
I did wait till I got a an AMD card though. But my GF uses a 3050 for bazzite desktop and she’s had no issues yet either. She had lots of issues with the 1050Ti she had before then though.
Why do gpus need geo tracking? They’re usually pretty stationary right?
The best one is a Chinese only one that is a massive struggle to get GApps on it. It can be rooted now, but still not exactly an easy phone to set up for Western use without caveats.
Boox Palma was so close. It just needed cellular capability.
America is headed for an age of dumb.
I also don’t think Spotify’s High setting is as good as an mp3 of the same stated bitrate
I don’t think Spotify’s High bitrate is as good as it says it is, though. That’s what I’m getting at. Sort of like how YouTube’s encoding for whatever setting you pick is never as good as a local file with the same specs.
You absolutely can. It’s not massive. But Spotify does sound muddy in comparison. And I’m not some crazy audiophile either. But I’ve definitely heard more clarity in some of my favourite songs and noticed certain parts of them that I’ve never noticed before just because I was using a FLAC vs using Spotify where I used to listen to it.
At a certain point, you’re right you’re not going to notice a difference on shitty speakers but there’s something about Spotify’s lossy compression that even at high you’ll notice the difference between the two.
You don’t need that much special equipment to tell the difference. I have a lil shitty Jelly Star. I can tell the difference between Spotify’s High and a FLAC from bandcamp with it’s speaker, Bluetooth headphones (Sony Link Buds) and my Car speakers.
It shouldn’t get fucked by MS they’ll just stop adding things to it to prevent outsiders from fucking it up. You’ll be alright for now, but keep an eye out for any potential vulnerabilities that get found after end of support. Then that’s when you can start thinking of disconnecting it from the internet. That is if you can’t risk yourself being patient 0. Then in that case you should disconnect as soon as end of life comes around.
It was my go to for computers that i didn’t need windows on at the time.
Now i have bazzite on my gaming pc and currently experimenting with arch hyprland on my surface go 2 that could no longer get windows updates.
And surprise surprise, it’s worse than ever
Gaming mode is when you have no desktop environment loaded up it’s just the big picture mode environment so there’s less running in the background.
If you’re in desktop mode and you play a game and you can alt-tab out, that proves you’re not in gaming mode because the desktop environment is still loaded in the background
Do you use gaming mode? Or are you on desktop mode?
Same, my gaming htpc got switched over to bazzite deck this year
By saying he’s not a tech guy probably just means he’s not a programmer. But with how he’s done everything he definitely has the chops to be one.
He seems to be a guy that really likes to tinker with things. And those are the kind of people that Linux, especially arch, really latches onto.
You can absolutely disable the password from sleep. And there’s different versions of bazzite. There’s the deck versions that go straight into gaming mode and the non deck ones that go to desktop. If you have one installed it’s super easy to switch to the other just from the terminal too using the command on their download and install page.
Bazzite desktop seems to be completely usable with a 20XX+ card. It’s Gaming Mode that boots straight into steam big picture mode that where all of the issues lie.
Cards below do suffer even on desktop though and can regularly crash due to an instability in their drivers when using wayland.
Because Amazon just have a shit algorithm. They don’t distinguish single purchase items but their algorithm is skewed to try and get you to come back to get the things you got in the past.
If you’re already taking about a product you’ve likely already been swayed by targeted marketing (not just online but physical/traditional too). And you only become more aware after you’ve seen an ad with it still on your mind. And this is the moment where some people say that their phone must’ve been listening to them earlier on, because they can’t seem to comprehend cohorts and marketing in general.
The worst part for teams is if you do contract work and need to be a part of multiple teams instances… It’s a MASSIVE fucking pain. Microsoft’s login processes are absolute infuriating and even more so if you have to log in to multiple different accounts that all somehow have the same email address but different tenants without letting you know which account version is for which tenant.
We had to use slack for our internal stuff so we could always be in contact with each other because you could only be signed into one teams instance at a time without jumping through crazy hoops.
I initially wanted us to move to teams but that hurdle stopped us. I’m kinda glad in hindsight.
