Indeed. Connections to my Tor bridge dropped by 80% when Iran disconnected.

I bought a used Tesla model 3 just before Elon started donating to the GOP and I’m going to disconnect the WiFi and 5G antennas this weekend

If it’s old enough you can even strip out the entire connectivity module or the physical SIM.

The first one I think is a fundamental limitation in that display preferences by default is per-user. Maybe this makes it work for you? https://feddit.online/post/1350756/comment/6636228

I don’t really have this problem anymore since I got rid of my projector which advertised a resolution it couldn’t handle. Had to login into the void since the login screen never showed up. Looks like this might be fixable nowadays.

The 24h clock might be similar - check your system-wide locale.

The locale is set to American English but the time format is set to German, something the lock screen can handle but SDDM cannot. I also tried applying the Plasma settings to SDDM a few times but it doesn’t really change anything.

It always chooses the default highest resolution, (which may not work on some devices with faulty EDID), does not respect the Wayland/X11 choice, has a long pause when going from login screen to desktop and does not support 24h clocks.

Just to name a few.

How drunk are these guys?

Ask the dude that renamed Twitter to X (formerly Twitter).

Still have a few more on the to-do list (including the one from this post).

CCC is really cooking this year. So many great talks.

PipePipe/NewPipe also have support for streaming directly from CCC.

Haven’t heard anything yet.

Same, still got the devkit 1 and 2 in my cellar.

Really looking forward to the Steam Frame to finally get standalone VR without Meta involvement.

Really? I did a 365 day streak in Japanese (and most of that time was spent learning Hiragana and Katakana) but I still had some basic phrases down at the end.

Kanji broke me in the end though, Duolingo really doesn’t do it well.

Phones usually don’t do pixel shifting since they lack the extra pixels on the edge to shift the content around.

Pixel shifting is done entirely on the monitors firmware nowadays, no OS intervention necessary.

Phone AMOLED screens are entirely different beasts compared to QD-OLED/WOLED on TVs and monitors.

Phone OLEDs are much more dense, run much hotter and brighter, most also lack pixel shifting and many even pixel refreshing.

I also had some severe burn-in on phones.

To quote Rtings:

under normal circumstances, with mixed usage, burn-in isn’t an issue

Even if your task bar is on 70% of the time, you’re not going to see any significant burn-in.

I did the same thing.

With how things are going that 5800X3D, a used high end workstation mainboard and some DDR4 RAM are going to carry me for a very long time.

I’m GPU bottlenecked in 99% of cases anyway.

If they are on Linux, Steam automatically deletes the Windows prefix every time you uninstall a game. So any game without cloud saves, has their save games deleted if you don’t back them up separately (e.g. via Ludusavi).

The feature recently added to the PS5’s Dualsense that allows them to pair with multiple devices was such a huge QoL change.

Does that only apply to playstations or can you pair to multiple PCs? Might have to upgrade then.

AND per app focus stealing prevention settings.

It does? BRB, putting Steam on the lowest level possible so I can turn everything else back up.

Helldivers 2, and will try Arc Raider

Helldivers 2 and Arc Raiders both work fine on Linux. PUBG does not.

potentially Marathon next year

Marathon is unlikely to work since Destiny also doesn’t work.
