That's unfortunate. Did you try anything with the warranty? I'm curious what that experience is like.

I have a SF4 arcade stick that's more than 15 years old now, still going strong.

Hori are well-known for their high quality controllers of all kinds. It's pretty sad that they put out a piece of garbage like this.

Walking around the building and taking the slow elevator down is long and tedious. This juat makes sense.

You can keep arguing that "nobody left on that platform is going to be convinced of anything anymore," but the fact of the matter is there are hundreds of millions of active users there, the vast majority of whom don't give a shit about Musk, and aren't as in-the-know about a lot of the current goings on that most Lemmy users whine about. As a politician trying to push progressive causes, AOC is on there for the same reason Musk is: it's the platform with the most reach. It would be stupid of her to leave the platform. She has tons of followers, only a few of which would follow her to a different platform. It's also the platform her opponents are on, and that's the only place she can realistically call them out on their bullshit and her message be seen.

Currently running Nobara 41, and if Firefox is playing a video, or even just has a paused video on it, my computer will not go to sleep until I exit Firefox entirely. If I try to shut down instead, it will seemingly close all open apps, and the displays will go black but the mouse cursor remains on screen and does not respond.

If I start Firefox from the CLI, it shows nothing when I try to suspend.

This only happens with Firefox, and as far as I can tell, doesn't happen when playing a video elsewhere.

I don't have any power savings settings that I'm aware of that should be preventing anything, so I don't know what's going on. This is a recent issue, starting maybe 2 weeks ago. I haven't installed any new software besides updates in that time.

Does anybody have any idea what is going on here?

I haven't seen one of these in a few days, so I thought I'd toss in one of my own.

It's meant for via ferrata to reduce the impact of falling on static gear. You loop a short rope through the holes and it absorbs the forces of the fall by friction of the rope slipping through. This is the Kong Kisa.

The great thing about the Muppet movies is that all the characters are treated as if they're human. It's like nobody realizes they're talking to a felt frog.

Now, can we fix flashlights in games such that we don’t get a well defined circle of lit area surrounded by completely a black environment?

Sure, we can do that, but we won't because of the narrative and functional in-game purpose of the flashlight. It's not meant to be realistic, it's meant to make the game feel a specific way.

Recently my micro SD card failed and I had to to a full reinstall of klipper.

When I first set it up, I found a guide with pictures and all the software setup specifically for the ADXL345 and Pi Zero 2, but I can't find the guide anymore.

Everything's already wired, but I definitely don't remember how to set everything up.

If you read the article, you'd know it wasn't desperation. It was an institution she admired and specifically wanted to work there. It's even sadder than being desperate. She was already indoctrinated into the cult that hates her for who she is.

He's also ignoring the fact that if your job's responsibilities are mission-critical, chances are you have a contract which stipulates situations in which you can be contacted after hours. It's about Joe Schmoe IT guy being called in at 7pm while he's having dinner with his family and being told to come to work because Greg the assistant to the Sales VP forgot his password again. Greg can fuck right off until tomorrow morning.

The server going down at 2am is mission-critical and the guy in charge of it will definitely be answering that call to fix it.

Currently running Nobara, and having audio annoyances.

Any time any app loads anything new, it will switch my audio device back to default. For example, if I open a playlist in VLC and choose my speakers as the output device, when it's done playing one file, it will open the next one and start playing audio through the headphones.

If I'm watching a video on Youtube and choose speakers, as soon as I leave the page it goes back to headphones.

Is there a way to prevent the device in use from switching back? If I switch device, I just want it to stay on that device until I choose to switch back. I literally never want it to switch on its own. ATM, the only way is to manually go it and change the default every time instead of just clicking the checkbox in the volume popup.

This is a recent issue, and I don't know what has changed to cause it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which games work and which ones don't. My monitor's resolution is set to 2560 x 1440 in the display settings, but some games don't recognize it.

Of the games I have installed, Subnautica, Dark Souls III, Sekiro, Control, Hades, and Hi-Fi Rush think my native resolution is 1896 x 1067 and they won't let me change it to anything higher than that.

Elden Ring, Ark Survival Ascended, and Returnal detect my resolution correctly and work fine.

This is all from Steam without any custom launch settings, and with and without gamescope. I've tried custom resolution command line options for Subnautica and that hasn't helped either.

I'm running an RX 6700 XT on Nobara with everything currently up to date. I'm not sure when this issue started, but it's recent, probably within the last week or so. I've definitely run Control and Sekiro at the correct resolution before, but in my recent testing they no longer work right.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Why some games work fine and others don't?

That's a wildlife bridge in progress. It allows wild animals to cross the highway without getting run over.

Are there any software issues I may/should deal with when doing a full system upgrade? I'm going from AM4 to AM5, so new CPU, motherboard and RAM.

It should be pretty straightforward under Linux, right? Just swap my drives over and boot up? I've only ever done single upgrades at a time, never a full generation.

“I regret using Dolly as the example for the point I was making in the article,” she told Yahoo! Entertainment Saturday. “As I wrote in the piece, I love her and think she does some incredible things for the world. We all make poor choices in how to frame things sometimes. This was one of those moments for me! Dolly is one of the few people who is beloved by all and who loves all. The world is lucky to have her.”

You don't get to pretend that it was an error in framing your message. You meant what you said and the only thing you regret is the backlash. You picked on an angel and everyone else rightfully gave you shit for it.

I've had the game running fine for months, but experience constant crashes if I have foliage and fluid interaction enabled. Has anyone been able to run the game with this on?

Currently on Pop!OS running a 6700XT, and having the issue under both X and Wayland.

A friend of mine was a gamer many years ago but hasn't been gaming in a while. They run a Mac and I run a PC. What are some good patient games we can play together?

Every time I use calibrate_probe, I get the message "The SAVE_CONFIG command will update the printer config file with the above and restart the printer."

When I click Save Config, it restarts the firmware, and then I get the warning "Option 'z_offset' in section 'bltouch' must be specified."

If I go check my printer.cfg, the [bltouch] section now has z_offset commented out with the old value and I have to remove the comment and copy in the new value.

Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?

I'm getting increasingly frustrated trying to get my printer calibrated. I've done a bed calibration using screws_tilt_calculate, and that's all nice and good. Got a bed mesh variance of 0.19mm which seems great.

Now for the z-offset, it won't let me get the nozzle low enough. No matter how low I set the Z minimum, it won't let me get closer than about 0.5mm to the bed. I've tried setting the position_min in [stepper_z] anywhere from 0 to -9 and I get the same result every time.

If I raise the bed, the probe adjust its height accordingly, so the result is the same.

What can I do to fix this?

I picked it up and have been playing it. The first day, it seemed to run fine, but today I've been having a ton of trouble with it. I'm struggling to go 15 minutes without crashing, and when it does crash, Steam stops responding entirely until I reboot.

Edit: I can't explain why, but after checking my logs, whenever my computer full-crashes, it's apparently caused by bluetooth, despite not having any connected bluetooth devices. I've disabled the bluetooth service, and now the game only crashes to desktop. Small wins, I guess.

Another edit: I appear to have fixed my problem. I installed gamemode via apt, and added 'gamemoderun %command%' to the launch options in Steam. Haven't crashed since.
