Sick lol.

Russians gotta have their counter strike 😏

“documenting the change” is a pipe dream.

If you’ve ever worked in maintenance, active production, etc, you’ll be lucky to even have schematics. And trust me, there are a lot of hacks of people fucking with controls for 30+ years straight that soooo much of it is full of “fixes” like this, whether it’s something pushing a button in, or pieces of metal instead of fuses, or wires jumping over what’s “in the way” like whole safety systems and e-stops, contactors forced to run, etc etc etc.

Drills and taps two holes, adds a metal strap, and sacrifices a tool to save a 5 minute fix of jumping over the contact with a 2" piece of wire lmfao

I work on industrial controls. Very likely that the switch is momentary, meaning it’ll go back when released.

Sometimes there’s a little piece of plastic in them to remove the momentary setting, but this works too lol. Fuck it, it’s maintenance.

I played through MGS4 recently on Arch Linux. Lots of community patches, and tinkering with settings. But it was mostly playable. Textures on any kind of screen in-game (like when a character is video chatting you), some of the flashback sequences, and a few random times the NV mode in south America went completely out of whack. But it was enough to look past the issues and enjoy the story and gameplay after playing MGS1-3

Cue every one of the factory workers at my job to crack jokes about a Chinese invasion all day

Get wrekt

I post as I still have problems with Wayland on Arch lmao

This seems like a dumb tiktok trend or some shit. It’s hard to get by in this world without a cellphone

But I just wish anyone would still want to talk on the phone. I love chatting with friends for an hour or so on the phone but everyone hates it now. Quick random texts just feel so much less personal. Ah well

I had no problems at all as recently as this year. I think I was playing over the summer

Spotify (adblock) from the AUR 😈

Soulseek my friend

I actually just answered this question on another post in this forum. I’ve been using a KVM to use my living room TV as another screen that I can play games / stream video / generally use my PC which is in my bedroom.

It works great in a max resolution of 4K/60hz and zero latency as far as I can tell on the USB ports for gaming controllers and mouse & keyboard. I use KDE big screen to easily navigate & open programs, emulators, steam, whatever with a controller so I don’t have to try to read tiny 4K text from the couch. I generally find disabling my monitors and enabling my TV works best.

Basically how it works is:

PC (HDMI & USB) -> transmitter -> Ethernet (CAT 6 or better) -> receiver -> TV (HDMI & USB)

The Ethernet wire only connects from the transmitter to the receiver. It does not connect to your network at all.

This is the particular one I got:

Basicolor HDMI KVM USB Extender 4K@60Hz KVM Extender Over Cat5e/Cat6 Up to 60m (196Ft), 4 Ports USB,Lossless or Zero Latency, Plug&Play(Point to Point KVM Extender) https://a.co/d/8Ki2lzw

Other option, if everything is in the same room you could just run some long HDMI or displayport and USB cables.

No, this only really serves one purpose which is utilizing your TV or other distant monitor as another screen for your laptop or desktop.

The Ethernet wire does not connect to the rest of your network. It only goes from the transmitter to the receiver.

What you’re describing is possible however, via some self-hosted services on a server for instance.

Best way to describe it:

PC (HDMI & USB) -> transmitter -> Ethernet -> receiver -> TV (HDMI & USB)

I use the receiver’s USB connections for connecting controllers and wireless mouse & keyboard. I don’t notice any latency whatsoever.

FWIW, I have an old steam link. I can’t remember what video settings I was getting. But I know they weren’t 4K/60hz. I ran one additional cat 6A Ethernet wire to a dedicated KVM from my desktop to my living room OLED TV. I’ve been very impressed by the result. I’ve mostly played a lot of my old favorites on various emulators. It’s been very nice playing through the metal gear solid series in upscaled 4K and avoiding that crap collection that was just released by Konami.

The steam link is cool and I’m glad to see Valve still supporting it all these years later. But the flexibility of a KVM is really nice. I watched a Steelers stream today just using my TV as another monitor basically. And KDE big screen is very nice for navigating things with a controller and not trying to read tiny text in 4K resolution lol

FWIW, I’m still using a pixel 3A and don’t have plans to change anytime soon. They really do last for a long time.

Things like (old) fast charging and not having to charge it every day are what still blow my mind and feel like modern innovations to me. It’s still pretty responsive and fast enough for what I use it for. Sometimes my texts take a little to load anymore but I don’t really mind.

YMMV depending on what you want out of a phone I guess. I try not to look at my phone unless I have to for a text or call or email abymore. But I’ve been on this train since the Nexus 6P. If you want a solid, stable phone that lasts a long time and very little fluff or bloat, go pixel. The flexibility for custom ROMs and rooting and things is unmatched as well. I’ll continue to use this thing until I drop it down the street one day or it gets aggravating to use somehow

Idk man my life fell apart and I failed out of college. Hard. Picked myself back up and learned a trade and I’ve had a very successful career that I love and a beautiful old home I’m remodeling and a partner who loves me and we’re gonna get married soon.

Video games are just something to pass the time.

I use apotify-adblock from the AUR

For errm… reasons.

I just wish GOG would utilize Proton in a way to incorporate Linux support. It would be a slam dunk for them in terms of their userbase.
