Even if AI successfully replaces workers, it is doomed to fail. Because if everyone is replaced by AI, who is going to pay for the products/services from the companies anymore? It’s all about being the first one to replace their workers with AI, for short term profit until society collapse.

Reading the comments on the protondb page, a lot of them are using startup options and proton experimental for example. Weird that it has platinum rating if tinkering is necessary though.

The problem with using touch in a car is that you’re supposed to look at the road, not at a screen. Whether something is easily controllable could be a matter of life and death. Something physical you can reach by muscle memory is safer in this context. So yeah the basic controls should be tactile and intuitive. Anyones grandma should be able to figure out how to turn on the wipers if the rain sensor didn’t do its job. Or adjust the fan quickly if the window fogs up.

I think/hope this will change in the future. There’s been a lot of backlash against touch screens, touch buttons, subscriptions for basic functionality, etc. The car industry is struggling right now. At some point I think they will have to make simpler EVs, because normies don’t want ipads on wheels. They want something reliable and familiar that won’t break the bank.

I’m usually playing steam games, and I often will find a solution to make it work on protondb if I have issues. Most of my games I can just install and run though. But I understand it being frustrating if your favourite games don’t work or require lots of tinkering. I have played a few older games outside steam as well. I usually use Bottles for that, as it creates a wine prefix for me that’s set up with DXVK, etc out of the box.

What games? Because a lot of games do work fine, maybe even most of them. The problem is that the outliers are often games that a lot of people are playing (see https://areweanticheatyet.com/). Those games are usually not my cup of tea anyways.

Perhaps this could be used to jailbreak the PS5 🤔

Yeah I have an xperia 5 iii. It’s not compact, it’s just narrow (seriously hate the ultra wide phone displays). Also heavy as a brick.

I’ve played all sims games and all work on linux with wine. Sims 1 is the hardest to get to work because you need a CD crack to get it to run. Sims 2 and newer works great in my experience. I’d recommend using Bottles to install Sims 2. You can install it from CD and play it like normal. Need some tweaks to get widescreen though (but you have that issue on windows as well).

Sims 3 I’ve played in bottles through the EA app (I own a digital copy there). Worked out of the box (bottles has a way to install the ea store app easily). Sims 4 I’ve played on steam (using proton).

I think realtime is on mainline now since 6.12 though so anyone with at least 6.12 should be able to use rt functionality.

I’ll continue to call it forge joe. It’s more cute. It’s like “where do I put these files?” “Just give them to Joe, he’ll know where to store them”.

In ~/src Mostly because I’m too lazy to type “source”.

Might be related to those sleep state stuff that microsoft keep pushing. I think LTT has a video about how it causes battery to drain while off. I think the solution was either shutting it down while unplugged, or while plugged in or something. If you always shut the laptop down with the charger plugged in try to unplug the charger before shutting it down and see if it makes a difference. Or the opposite. I don’t remember which it was.

To be fair I haven’t configured a firewall either on my laptop. But that’s out of lazyness, not out of good practice. Good practice would be to have a firewall enabled. Just because something is unlikely to happen statistically doesn’t mean it’s bad practice to take steps to protect against it.

I fail to see why this is bad advice. Sure you could just disable the firewall on your computer on a local network. But that’s under the assumption that you can trust everything on your local network. What if it’s a laptop? Do you also trust any public networks you may connect to on the go? Having firewall both on the router and on your computer provides an additional layer of security, and I think that’s good advice in general. You can for example set it up to only allow incoming connections when connected to your home network for example.

Anyone know what real time means here? Does it mean that sleeping a thread is more accurate (as in the thread is resumed at the correct time after calling sleep)? Or is there an API that implements some functionality for something that should run in real time?

Wrapping a value in a mutex just makes sense. After learning a bit of Rust I made a similar mutex wrapper in C++ when I had to protect a class member in a C++ project. I just had to change the type in the declaration, and bam the compiler tells me about all places this member was accessed. Much easier than using some buggy ‘find all references’, potentially forgetting a few places.

Oh that’s good then. I think they stopped using whitelists a while ago, so if it is slotted you can probably replace it with anything. Maybe they reversed course on soldered modules then, or perhaps it only applied to some models. I looked into specs of the T16 at some point, and that one had soldered wifi module.

A lot of the modern thinkpads have the wifi module soldered to the motherboard nowadays unfortunately. Sad that they would use these crappy realtek cards in the first place as well.

Yeah the thought is that as long as my patch applies without error, I would get the latest kernel automatically built and can just update my laptop normally with pacman. And since I have a server anyways I might as well use it to compile the kernel at night. I’m also thinking of doing the same with some aur packages as well.
