They haven’t dropped the requirement, but you have to manually go in and disable that check yourself on the windows 11 installer if you want to install it on a non-tpm 2.0 machine
Basically, it’s a faff that only the techie people will realistically do. Everyone else will just go out and buy new hardware.
This doesn’t affect valve at all though. It’s borrowing their tech that they’ve made open source, and figuring out how to use it elsewhere outside of steam.
Actually, it’ll benefit them. More eyes are on proton and any fix will benefit everyone, including games played via steam.
I’ve come to realise at least half of the stuff posted on Reddit these days, especially more so on the popular subs, are all designed to make you angry.
It’s things like posting incorrect info in the title, posting a comic / image that’s been deliberately designed to get you angry, someone really wanting their 5 minutes of fame like this guy, or some post from some bigot.
It’s so tiring. Have started to notice it on Lemmy too.
Ah yes. I missed that bit. Thanks :)
So if an iPhone gets stolen, would having Find My completely disabled actually be a bad thing if we’re trying to improve device security? I see that’s listed in the article.
Would this affect the ability to use the remote lock & wipe functionality?
Would be awesome if they somehow ended up using signal as a means to facilitate remote learning. Mind you they’d have to be very careful and hide it from any potential snitches…
I get what you’re saying and I hate that I had to write it like that. Was saying it to point out that Mac’s just aren’t as locked down as other Apple devices so won’t be subject to the EU ruling anyway.
The entire argument is stupid anyway.
I guess if this gets argued correctly it means Apple could technically get away with not opening up the iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch to accept other stores (Mac already lets you install apps directly from developers). I can see this still letting Apple continue to have the stranglehold over their ecosystem.
I doubt this will change much though. We all know the EU were specifically thinking about the iPhone which needs opening up.
What happened afterwards? Did you go off on a self searching quest and come to learn the real you?
Thanks,
So they haven’t made an announcement about retiring the proton bridge app yet.
I think I’ll wait until I see them actually remove it before I believe they’re locking us in.
I’ve just skimmed through the proton blog briefly and I couldn’t see anything referencing this. Do you have a link by chance?
That’s a bold claim. Got a source for this move?
As others have mentioned, the main caveat here is that anti cheat games can work if the developers enable the support.
I’ve been playing dead by daylight very happily for a good few months now on Linux. Apex legends has also got official support for Linux as well.
They watch the horny pokemon things, probably. Rule 34 and all that.
Nothings stopping you. It achieves the same thing. Some people might just prefer this since it’s easier and gets logged in the systemd journal? The Arch wiki lists some nice benefits of using systemd timers as a replacement to cron jobs.
The way I understand it, it’s an automated job that sends the “trim” command to SSDs to discard all the blocks that have been marked as unused by the filesystem. My knowledge is a little patchy so I’m probably missing some important details…
When you go to delete something on an SSD, it’s simply just marked as being deleted. The file still technically occupies space on the SSD and the SSD will never simply overwrite space that has a deleted file on it.
So… by enabling the service, systemd will automatically send the trim command that tells the SSD to empty out all the space occupied by files marked as deleted which allows the SSD to reuse said space.
Pulseaudio has been replaced by PipeWire for quite some time in fedora. Since Fedora 34, released in April 2021, apparently.
According to the wiki page, PipeWire originally came about trying to improve video handling on Linux, the same way that pulseaudio improved audio handling.
They then wanted to try and handle audio streams, with the idea of converging use cases for both consumer and professional audio users. Namely, they wanted a single audio system that supported both pulseaudio and JACK, whilst remaining as low latency as possible.
On top of this, because it was a modern reimplementation of audio and video handling in Linux, they designed it to work with Flatpak, and to provide secure methods for screenshotting and screencasting in wayland via the compositors.
(All my info here I just took from the wiki)
It’ll be used by a lot of Linux distributions.
It’s a drop-in replacement to the Pulseaudio and JACK audio systems, with the hopes of making audio handling decent within Linux with as low latency as they can.
Check they’re in separate folders, search for each on TVdb, and append the TVdb series ID onto the folder name in the file system.
So for example, change the One Piece (2023) folder name to “One Piece (2023) [tvdbid-392276]”

Got proof for that last claim?
I thought their sealed sender feature was meant to prevent exactly this scenario.
