So I bought a new mouse, of course it came with RGB nonsense. Before purchasing I checked it could be disabled.
Software to control RGB? 300MB. Who knows what the hell else that'll be doing.
Plugged it into my Linux laptop, download OpenRGB, 1.7MB application that supports more than just this brand. Turn off the rgb, click save to device.
Even Nintendo has gyros in their controllers
Nintendo have had gyros in their controllers since 2006 with the release of the Wii. Basically right there with Sony (Nov 11th vs Nov 19th 2006)
If the cause of this is because of Cyberpunk then that's ridiculous. It'd be like Steam deleting cloud saves because someone's Half Life save file got too big... It's their own game, marketplace and ecosystem.
Blast from the past! I had this on cdrom. As a child I remember our old computer that had Sim City 2000 on didn't have a cdrom drive. Our new computer did. I fondly remember copying my favourite cities from the old to new via floppy disk. Those were the days!
That's super interesting. Do you have a source you could link for this data?
You can also use systemctl status $pid to find out what service a process is from.
Pass something stupid via your bootloader so it aborts boot and dumps you in an initrd busybox shell. No usb required.
This was my poor man's boot environments when I was using zfs on root. I had a pacman hook to snapshot before package transactions, then if it became unbootable I'd interrupt the following boot attempt, edit my grub command line with something wrong so I'd get dumped in the busybox shell, import my zfs pool and roll back before finally rebooting again.
Similar here, bought car in 2011 and will drive it till it dies. I'm happy with an 3.5mm port.
But for those that do feel like Bluetooth etc are must have features. You can buy head units, with touch screens and Android auto and Apple CarPlay for only a few hundred dollars, and often support connecting rear cameras etc.
I used to turn to custom roms to extend the life of my phone. My first smartphone didn't get an official update after I purchased it for example. The custom roms often made the phone snappier too.
These days I'm on a mid range Samsung phone released almost 4 years ago and it's still getting updates.
The Android app has done this for years too.
After connecting my (non Microsoft) email account to the Outlook Android app I noticed the login location was geolocated in the USA... I live in Australia.
Unfortunately there's no way to turn it off.
Not the previous poster. I taught an introduction to programming unit for a few semesters. The unit was almost entirely portfolio based ie all done in class or at home.
The unit had two litmus tests under exam like conditions, on paper in class. We're talking the week 10 test had complexity equal to week 5 or 6. Approximately 15-20% of the cohort failed this test, which if they were up to date with class work effectively proved they cheated. They'd be submitting course work of little 2d games then on paper be unable to "with a loop, print all the odd numbers from 1 to 20"
Hi, someone on the other end of the spectrum here.
The most exciting time in gaming in the past 10 years for me was when AMD announced the RX480. They were excited about a $200USD GPU, targeting 1080p gaming.
I ended up buying an RX570 a some time later on a sale. Great card!
Years later I started looking around for an upgrade. Each time I looked it was as if mid range had ceased to exist at a reasonable price point. For examplw last year in my region the RTX 3050 was 3x the price I paid for my RX570, and wasn't that much cheaper than an Xbox series S.
I think it's great you love your 7800XTX, and I hope they continue to make good high end cards. But I also hope they remember my area of the market exists, and after 8 years of engineering improvements since the RX480 I want them to release a pair of cards targeting 1080p and 1440p gaming at a killer price.
