Every time I thought the US was stupid for doing a thing, the rest of the world followed with the same bullshit a few years later. Some sooner, some later. The US is not more stupid, they’re trendsetters.

They seem good on paper - every time I look for a phone on gsmarena’s phone finder I get a few of their rog phones in the results. But then I look at the price tag and the gamer aesthetic, and I ignore them.

It was an embedded system. The user wouldn’t be able to download and install stuff, they just turn the thing on.

As someone who likes to actually own and customise all my devices, devs like you are the bane of my existence. Read up on software licensing, and pay special attention to the history of its enforcement and what it enabled us. Then please reconsider your user hostile stance.

I tried the link preview feature as well, and to say the response to it is overblown is putting it mildly. I haven’t looked at the source code, but based on how it appears to work I’m not sure it even qualifies as AI. It basically selects 2-3 sentences from the reading mode version of an article, but the selection is so bad it might as well be random. Not surprising as it’s a tiny model that runs locally and is only given a second to make the selection.

I actually laughed when I saw it - this is what all the weeks of fuss were about?

As they point out at the end, this wasn’t about the old control panel, but the new settings panel. It’s all brand new code.

Well there’s no shortage of those, and they’re unusually cheaper too (unless they’re specced out). I prefer a thin silent one myself, so I welcome this innovation.

Mediatek has been making phone SoCs since forever now, they have two lines - Helios and Dimensity. They’re used in many phones, usually on the lower end. Even Samsung uses them. Both lines have abysmal custom rom support compared to Snapdragon phones, so I don’t think you can hope for much there.

You realise that if that were to be “fixed”, you wouldn’t end up paying the low price, Brazil would end up paying the high price? One they can’t afford because they make as much in a month as you do in a week, or worse.

A few months ago I needed to install Google home for something Chromecast related, so I quickly searched the play store and installed it. Loaded it up and I see an ad, what the hell. App opens and I realise it isn’t Google Home, it’s something made to trick me into thinking it was when I wasn’t paying attention.

Google is letting their ads steal their own users from them.

Have you tried running xiaomi.eu ROMs?

The message that we approve of the removal of the headphone jack done in order to peddle wireless headphones…

If this was done by multiple people, I’m sure the person that designed this delivery mechanism is really annoyed with the person that made the sloppy payload, since that made it all get detected right away.

TIL there are Linux people that don’t use OpenWRT. I always assumed everyone in the Linux community used it. It’s great.

Works great with mt7621 based routers if anyone ends up looking for something compatible.

I use gnome for the most part. I have been checking out kde recently to see how the newer versions stack up (gave up on it during the 4.0 days). As you mention kde supports dpms changes on wayland because they have their own protocol extension for that.

That’s actually my biggest gripe with wayland - the huge amount of fragmentation it has caused. I’m pretty confident that almost all the missing features I talked about are possible on one or two of the compositors, but not all of them. And definitely not on the one I use. I’m sure once some pragmatism takes hold that all the issues will be ironed out, but my plan for now is to stick to X11 until that happens.

For me it’s a million little details that just don’t work. Stuff like positioning windows, removing decorations from a window, remapping buttons on a trackball, setting a graphics output to tvrgb, disabling a display via ssh and enabling it again, etc.

It’s not just about hardware compatibility. It has to be compatible with existing workflows, and it’s currently very limiting.

set -euo pipefail at the top of every script makes stuff a lot safer. Explanation here.

I love how the complaint makes even less sense when you look at the KDE mega announcement from yesterday. The third thing listed is a new wallpaper.
Love KDE, but they have some really annoying users.

Xfreerdp and gnome work really well together for me. Extremely reliable and very quick. My only complaint is lack of multi monitor support.
