2 months agoYeah, they don’t bring their stuff around for help anymore. They’re probably afraid I’ll wipe it and install Debian. 🤣 It’s been a long time; I’m an Arch fiend by now.

I was asked by a friend of the family why I had to “mod” everything, “You make it all so it doesn’t work right!”
…because “working right” in this day and age is a privacy nightmare, a security disaster, and relinquishing your rights, duh! Then I asked her how much the lawyer cost to understand what she’s agreeing to in all the EULAs of services she’s signed up for just to make things “work right”.
2·3 months agoMakes sense. Let’s say you are standing with a tower directly in front of you. If you want to look at the top of the tower, you would tilt head back and step back to get a less acute angle. If you want to look at the base, you would step forward.
0.5.20 looked to have many features added but broke multiple games on multiple machines here. 0.5.21 existed but was quickly replaced with 22?
It didn’t tell me Lutris was going to break. Now I see they have their third point-release in less than a week!

I don’t have any experience with METEO, but I do know a bit about digital video. avi is just a container; an avi file can have any of a number of different video and audio formats within it.
It looks like METEO doesn’t have the right codecs to decode the type of audio in your file. Solutions are to “remux” (re-multiplex) the file so the audio part is in a format METEO can work with… or, it would be easier to give it the right codecs, maybe by just putting the codec files in METEO’s directory, but I don’t know if it supports that.
Good luck!

2·5 months agoI’ve had success even on damaged discs with Exact Audio Copy on Windows, or fre:ac on Linux. Paranoia mode (or secure mode) is going to take a long time. It could be worth ripping with the fast burst mode and see if you can hear the errors/skips.
That’s not right; both audio and data discs are burned and read inside to outside, which is the opposite of vinyl records.
I’m no expert but it’s fairly easy to mitigate.
Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to the legacy proprietary branch to maintain support: Uninstall the official
nvidia,nvidia-lts, ornvidia-dkmspackages. Installnvidia-580xx-dkmsfrom the AURTranslates to:
sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia nvidia-lts nvidia-dkmsyay -S nvidia-580xx-dkmsIn attempting this, I still had a conflict with lib32-nvidia-utils, so this should work better:
sudo pacman -Rdd nvidia nvidia-lts nvidia-dkms lib32-nvidia-utilsyay -S nvidia-580xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-580xx-utilsUsing
yay -Syy nvidia-580xx-dkms lib32-nvidia-580xx-utilsmeans you don’t have to manually approve these replacement packages in the process, I think?EndeavourOS, BTW
10·5 months agoI had a car stereo like this and I soldered a 3.5mm jack to where the audio comes into the main board from the CD player. The pins were even labelled.
A CD had to be playing for the amplifier section to be activated, so I burned a CD of silence that I made in Audacity. 👍
It needed an updated updater to be up-to-date on updates.
My family still runs two of this mobo, but older revisions. I remember hearing about bugs with IOMMU but I can’t recall any USB or other problems.
IOMMU can be disabled in BIOS; it seems that it would only be useful if passing devices through to a virtual machine? Is that a valid assessment?
Sober… Roblox
It works great for my family! Only annoyance is having to run
flatpak updateoften.
I run a GTX 980 Ti; Maxwell architecture is still supported for three years. Older than that: Kepler support ended last year and Fermi support ended in 2023, and they won’t play nice with kernels released since then.
No.

I’m guessing that PCs preloaded with Windows 12 will have locked bootloaders.
Thanks!
