Star Wars Outlaws' $110 and $130 editions prompt a collective sigh from potential players tired of season passes and ill-advised early access periods in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] raptir@lemdro.id 13 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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.

openSUSE addresses supply chain attack against xz compression library in c/linux@lemmy.ml

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?

[Discussion] Some good budget wireless controller for the Deck?? in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

It's amazing because GFN is still going strong and Microsoft is really pushing their cloud gaming platform. Stadia was just horribly mismanaged.

Potential Super Cheap Charger - Ikea SJOSS in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

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.

Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck? in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
[–] raptir@lemdro.id 2 points 8 months ago

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.

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?

Why do AI image generators have a stroke when they try to generate text? (lemdro.id)
 

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? (lemdro.id)
 

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?

Here is what I've compiled so far:

  • Tommy Emmanuel - Christmas Memories

Any other recommendations?

I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe (lemdro.id)
 

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? (lemdro.id)
 

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?

Is there a decent open source or otherwise free scanner app? (lemdro.id)
 

A lot of them seem to be "free" with an optional subscription.

What are your favorite Halloween events? (lemdro.id)
 

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.

What games have seasonal events that you enjoy?

Is blocking broken in Hellfire? (lemdro.id)
 

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? (lemdro.id)
 

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:

I'm thinking Crusader or Witch Doctor because of the speed build buffs to both, but I don't know. I'm sure DH/Monk will still outclass them.

Laptop recommendations? (lemdro.id)
 

I'm in the market for a new laptop. I'm currently considering the Framework 16 but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should look at. The System 76 Adder WS seems like a better value, but I'm hesitant to buy Nvidia.

I don't need anything super portable, just looking for a decently powerful laptop for some gaming and other basic tasks. I use openSUSE TW but even with the Nvidia repo I've had issues with Nvidia graphics.
