Well I'll just wait for the ultimate edition to go on sale for $50 or whatever.
I guess this is kind of the logical conclusion of the "never buy unless it's more than 50% off" attitude.
I assume SSH is not exposed to the internet by default on openSUSE? I have not used SSH on my install so should I be safe if I just update?
It's amazing because GFN is still going strong and Microsoft is really pushing their cloud gaming platform. Stadia was just horribly mismanaged.
The site works fine with javascript blocked.
Regardless, IKEA is known for putting out quality but inexpensive electronics. Their rechargeable batteries and smart home products are great examples.
Let's be honest, the reason for that policy is so that if a Chromebook does fail you can go back to the manufacturer for warranty coverage.
I would trust an Anker charger just as much as an OEM charger.
USB-A, per the specification, is only supposed to provide 5V max. Qualcomm Quickcharge violates the USB-A specification, so only other devices that are designed to violate the specification and thus be compatible with QC will charge faster.
I use my leftover Stadia controllers. RIP.
But for my son I got an 8bitdo Lite 2 because it's smaller and easier for him to hold. Works great.
No, my Framework 13 is integrated only but it is still significantly more powerful than the Steam Deck. I haven't really done any ML stuff so couldn't tell you.
Mine was quoted as Q4 2023 when I ordered it and shipped by the end of November.
Thanks, now I'm going down the rabbit hole of all the custom options.
So on their site they are pretty clear about the Kopperkant being made in China, but specifically say the Drakkant Stainless and Ti are made in the US. I will take a look though!
Any thoughts on Aylsworth?
I'm specifically considering the Drakkant Ti. I have a Rockwell 6S but I want something a bit more aggressive. Does anyone have a razor from them? Is it solid quality?
I have the AMD 13 and it's fantastic. It's even solid for gaming as well and can handle some things the Deck can't.
Honestly just for gaming. I have a Framework laptop running Linux that I use for anything else.
Ah I've always used the free version, I did not realize there was a paid version.
What are ryujinx and Panda3ds doing differently? Or is it just a matter of Nintendo going after the most popular options?
The best part is that this was added in response to people complaining about it not generating diverse enough people, so they made it randomly add different races to person requests that don't specify race.
For any one who finds it in the future - I just set a Steam launch with gamescope set to half my native resolution, fullscreen and enabled fsr. Games run at the weird 1128x752 and FSR makes it look even better but I get great performance.
Just wanted to report back that this worked perfectly.
It's from Star Wars Episode 1.
I haven't watched that movie in years and watched it the other day with my son.
He's not even eating the cheeseburger, crap AI.

Why do AI image generators have a stroke when they try to generate text?
We can generate AI images, we can generate AI text, but text in an image is a no go?
Is there any issue with switching frequently between Wayland and X11?
I can't imagine there is but I'm wondering if I am missing something. I use GeForce Now and unfortunately it does not work in Plasma Wayland (issues with input redirection). Is there any problem with logging into an X11 session whenever I want to use that but using Wayland generally?

Any other recommendations?
Who are your favorite independent metal artists?
While even the artists signed to the major label imprints aren't as popular as some other genres, today's ease of distribution means we have some great independent artists to listen to. What are some you'd like more people to know about?

FATE is on sale until November 28th
If you aren't familiar, it was Travis Baldtree's ARPG before he worked on Torchlight. You can recognize some of the concepts there like utility pets. It also has a cool loop that you "retire" your character to pass on bonuses to your new character - increased fame and being able to hand down an item that gets upgraded every time you do so.
I'm not saying it beats out Last Epoch or Grim Dawn, but it's a solid old-school dungeon romp.
I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe
I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don't know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.
So now I'm here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.

Am I going off the deep end by considering Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite?
I recently switched my server over to running Plex and Home Assistant in Docker. I like the ease of transfer (just move my compose file and one directory where I have stored all the configs and I'm set) as well as the simple permissions management to give access to directories.
I have only used Fedora briefly, but I am considering it instead of my usual openSUSE because it is "officially supported" for the Framework 13 I have on order. I saw the immutable versions and the idea seems cool though I don't really understand what new I would need to learn or really what benefits it would have.
Is the concept overkill for a single-user laptop?
What are your favorite Halloween events?
I was always a huge fan of the Guild Wars Mad King event. GW2 took it to the next level with a lot of fun activities.

Is blocking broken in Hellfire?
I played a ton of Diablo when it first came out, but never really got into Hellfire. I set it up on devilutionx on my phone and I've been playing a warrior. I keep getting "block locked." I remember that being an issue in Diablo, but not at all to the extent I'm seeing here. As few as three enemies can keep me locked up to where I can't fight back.
Am I misremembering Diablo, or are things worse in Hellfire for Warriors?
Frequent error messages lately?
Has anyone else been getting frequent error messages on lemdro.id the last couple days? I am using the standard web interface and keep seeing something to the effect of:
FetchError: request to http://lemdroid-lemmy.flycast/api/v3/post/list?type_=Subscribed&%3Bpage=1&%3Blimit=20&%3Bsort=Hot
Music streaming service that doesn't advertise to me?
I was on Play Music/YouTube Music for years and ultimately switched to Spotify as I found that YTM didn't have accurate information about obscure artists. For some obscure bands I like it either had no information (and so playing radio of them would just play their own music, or unrelated music I like) or poor information (and would play music that wasn't really similar). It also became "over-personalized" - for example, on my wife's account it would only play power metal if I played Blind Guardian radio, but on my account it would play death metal and stuff that's somewhat related but not particularly.
Spotify has been better on the first front as they have a better database of music, but still has issues with the second. I'm also frustrated with the number of ads I still get despite paying - not audio ads, but popups and such for concerts, or recommended podcasts or whatever while browsing.
Any recommendations? I tried Deezer but found that they have pretty poor info about artists
