Fluff yeah!!

I have a Pro 2 and my only complaint with it with “SteamOS” (Bazzite) is that the back paddles don’t actually work with Steam Input directly. You can program them with the Ultimate Software, but that means they’re stuck only repeating the input of another button on the controller. So if this update brings full Steam Input support that would be awesome, as it would mean you can set all kinds of other functions to them. Plus not having to use a seperate software, and controller-based profiles, would be awesome.

That doesn’t mean it’s good they’re deprecating cards to do it. They were still selling GT1030s new until relatively recently, and the GTX1080 is a perfectly workable card.

If you think open versions are cool, how about them just open-sourcing the Maxwell & Pascal drivers? Oh, that’s right, they won’t because the “special sauce” is in the driver, not the card BIOS like it is for the Turing & up families.

What’s TDE?

I think there has always been more than one meaning to it. To me it’s also meant “requires a full reinstall/restore to get working again, either through normal means, or using a special tool/method”. Like, full loss of data but not completely broken.

Anything less than that though, like a system freeze that only requires a hard reset, definitely doesn’t count.

Clearly I just trust my abilities to disable a devices internet access in my router more than you. I also know that my risk factor is really low, because I’m not a journalist or a politician.

As well, I only buy smart devices that I can lock down, brands like LIFX & Shelly that have cloud services, but don’t require you to connect to them for the device to function over LAN.

So, first off, smart devices shouldn’t need to connect to the internet, only the local network. I have everything connected to Home Assistant, and then for access outside the house I have HA connected to the internet, meaning I only have one point I need to secure.

On your second point, I think the poster above was talking about having both an in-built as well as wifi-accessible external sensor. It makes it possible to have a more powerful dehumidifier in one space, running to a lower humidity than needed based off what’s going on in other rooms. Then have that air circulated by other fans, etc.

It would be a lot more difficult to hide a backdoor on a bare ESP device, than a proprietary Tuya one, just putting that out there. Regardless, I still block internet access from my ESPHome devices, because I don’t want to feel like I need to constantly be on top of updates, that can cause things to break at times. I do them every couple months when I have the time to sit down and make sure everything’s still working, or roll it back where it’s not.

Is this a reference to the most recent pewdiepie video? lmao

No, I just don’t want to explain to someone who’s clearly just baiting. But you do you and pay 3x as much because it’s made in america.

Vibes.

This isn’t how you get non-tech gamers to* switch to Linux and honestly, this attitude needs to die. Do you want Windows to always dominate? Because this is how you get Windows to always dominate.

It’s just jingoistic drivel, same as all of Trump’s China crap. Implying the phone has better privacy because it’s made in the US.

New users find the terminal very intimidating, I’ve seen that come up time and again. It’s kind of the whole point of Bazzite.

If you’re already learning terminal to install software though, at that point you can use a distrobox, install whatever you want in it, and then export the application to your usual application menu. It’ll launch the container in the background when you start the application, and shut it down automatically too. It’s a little slower than a usual launch but it’s still just a stripped down container so it’s fine.

The implication that Chinese-made goods are less private. Also I’m pretty sure most people speculate that the Trump phone is just a rebranded one of these? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

I did too, so, thanks, now I’m cackling at this racist bullshit:

Or, hear me out, you could install Bazzite and avoid all those terminal steps that are intimidating for new, non-tech savvy linux users.

I think you’re seeing the wrong causation when it comes to enshittification. FOSS licenses prevent that sort of thing from happening. Linux is already, by far and away, the most popular server OS so consumers moving to it isn’t going to make it worse.

I dunno, maybe be less of a hipster bestie?
