That's an interesting perspective.
What do you expect them to do? Not actively helping your competition is not remotely the same thing as being anticompetitive.
it's that there are very good reasons to not have these in my car
There's also very good reason TO have them, as I've already explained.
the loud alarm and policeman on the road searching for the stolen car has worked well for decades
LOL no. It hasn't.
haven't heard of car theft in.. a pretty long time
Right, my mistake. If you haven't heard of it happening, it must not have happened.
think these tings do exist, in the form of little devices thay you can connect to your car's OBD port, and they have a GPS receiver and a SIM slot to do it's job.
...yes, that's what we're discussing...
I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.
How exactly does that work with a keyfob...?
I'd like to see a Sankey graph of where Valve's money goes before I praise them that much for helping out a Linux distribution a bit.
I'd say it's a lot more than "a bit". It's an enormous amount of help that pretty much everyone in the Linux (professional) community can, has, and will attest to.
I don't agree that they're a monopoly, because they've done absolutely nothing to prevent competition. Other stores do it to themselves.
I do agree though that their fees are exorbitant and their contributions to Linux are a teeny tiny fraction of their wealth, but I appreciate it regardless.
and a way to tell Windows that they could go without them if they don't collaborate.
Ehhhh it's a step in that direction. But as long as 96% or whatever of their users run Windows, it's hardly much of a bargaining tool.
I do think that's what they're working for. After all Windows could flip a switch at any time and royally fuck them.
Honestly the quality of games is the tip of the iceberg.
This is going to be one of those "Ubisoft investigates Ubisoft and found that Ubisoft did nothing wrong at Ubisoft"-situations, isn't it?
No, this is going to be one of those "our stocks are tanking and investors want someone's head on a pike" sort of meeting.
I can absolutely Google. But I choose not to. Because fuck Google.
When I did a web search it just directed me back to this same page.
Im not a lawyer but the only thing I can read there is that Valve were denied arbitration.
God damnit, they just got away from Tencent...?
Thats unfortunate but even at 4k I can't possibly beat the value at $150 so I will just hold onto it and run it at 4k if necessary.
My laptop has been having problems not charging and the top row of the keyboard stopped working. In my pursuit of a replacement I realized how ridiculously cheap Intel iMacs have become.
And then I realized that you can gut them and convert them into an insanely good computer monitor after the internals die.
I was looking for a dead one but somehow managed to get my hands on a working 5k 2017 iMac for $150. God the display is glorious.
For the time being Im just going to use the existing internals since they're still functioning.
I installed Fedora on an external drive and everything seems to be functional. I managed to get fractional scaling functioning. However the output only goes up to 4k. And while thats still really nice, the extra resolution does make an obvious difference when sitting ~1 foot away.
Has anyone been able to get 5k working?
Chociaż w targach IFA w Berlinie byłem już 5 razy, to w tym roku zdarzyło się po raz pierwszy, że byłem na nich sam (to znaczy był też Krzysiek, ale minęliśmy

Thought this might interest some Lemmy folks.
I get lots of spam from particular mailing services like Constant Contact and Mailchimp. 100% always spam from these services. Is there a way to block messages received through these services? I can see the domains in the header of the email but I don't see an option to block messages based on info in the header.
Cygni is the Epic free game this week. Unfortunately it is not working for me. Installed using HGL. Added to Steam. Set compatibility to GE-Proton-Latest. Running on SD OLED w/ Steam Beta.
When launching, I sometimes get as far as the Konami loading screen but then it crashes.
Tips? Ideas? Anyone else get this working properly?
Trying to cover all my bases on the headline LOL.
I confirmed LACT was installed, though I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Installed movit via RPM-OStree.
GPU processing is still grayed out. Currently waiting for a 20 minute video to process on CPU only and says it will take 3 hours :(
PSVR 2 will soon be compatible with SteamVR as a result
Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they're going to be asking a flat fee "$5-20" for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says "that's between you and your God".

I use Proton. But I continue to run into more and more websites and services that detect my VPN and refuse my connection, or just run literally 40 captchas in a row until I just give up.
I use Proton because it has a "suite" of products under a single subscription, but that benefit is losing it's allure as some of their products are pretty shitty from a user experience perspective, their customer support is atrocious, and they don't seem to pay any attention to what their users actually want.
Does anyone track known VPN servers? Is there a specific provider that causes less problems? Does anyone test different VPNs for detection?
Thinking about cancelling my subscription and moving to Mullvad.

If we get Pixel desktop I will def have to be upgrading to 9 Pro come Black Friday...
Trying to squeeze some more storage in my MiniPC. I have questions about these. These use hardward RAID with selectable modes (Individual/JBOD/RAID1/RAID2).
-
If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?
-
If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?
-
Can I use these as "individual" or JBOD and have 2 separate drives through the same connector, and use something like TrueNAS to software-RAID them?
Playing Helldivers 2. My brother on the desktop on the living room TV. Me on the SteamDeck on the couch next to him. Playing co-op together.
Not sure why this doesn't exist. I don't need 12TB of storage. When I had a Google account I never even crossed 15GB. 1TB should be plenty for myself and my family. I want to use NVMe since it is quieter and smaller. 2230 drives would be ideal. But I want 1 boot drive and 2 x storage drives in RAID. I guess I could potentially just have 2xNVMe and have the boot partition in RAID also? Bonus points if I can use it as a wireless router also.
Watch "The Nintendo Switch Will NEVER Be the Same // MIG-Switch Dumper Review" on Streamable.
I really enjoy Linux but I find myself having to keep Windows partitions around for software that specifically requires Windows.
Proton makes everything easier by automatically running game files through a translation layer, and it "just works" quite well most of the time.
Also VanillaOS can apparently auto-spin a container when you try to open a .deb or AUR package (this is my rudimentary understanding).
Setting up WINE/Bottles, etc. is above my pay grade.
Is it not possible to create an OS that just does the same thing as Steam but for the entire OS?
Hi friends, I managed to get a few services running (Mobilizon, Mastodon, PeerTube etc.), and I'm just now realizing that by default none of these federated networks are subscribed to anything?
I'm going to be the only one using these services so I don't care about moderation or defederation. Is there no "subscribe all" button?
And if not, are there comprehensive lists somewhere I can download and import?
Thanks in advance.
Hi friends. I'm new to the whole homeserver. I managed to make a ton of progress very quickly using CasaOS but I've been hung up on this for a couple of days now.
I have Jellyfin set up and working properly, locally. I configured Namecheap to forward requests from [subdomain] to [WAN]. I have my router set up to port forward requests from [WAN] 80 and 443 to NGINX on [LAN] port 81. I created a proxy host in NGINX to forward requests from [subdomain] to [LAN Server] on [LAN] port 8097 (Jellyfin container).
Problem is when I type in [subdomain] into the browser, it takes me to the NGINX login page instead of the Jellyfin server...like it's not forwarding the request? Not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is appreciated.
Potential issue I see is that Jellyfin by default fires up on port 8097 but in the settings defaults HTTP to 8096 and...I'm not really sure why. Going to 8096 returns a "site can't be reached" error.
