Oh no, anyway. Glad I never touched their peripherals because they’re overpriced like Razer and other bigger companies.

clicking away with my knockoff OEM reliable gaming mouse

Imo software update for Mouse is not that necessarily crucial unless you had nasty bugs like Cooler Master during launching their mouse. My endgame mouse is MM712 and happy with that👍🏼

Also you can build your own mouse though iirc may be harder than building DIY keyboard (sc: built custom macropad for college project).

Early 2010s internet called, they want their vaporwave and nightcore edit back

The only thing that hold me back full-time linux daily driving due to workplace uses M$ suites (Office, Teams, Outlook and so on) and CAD program (Freecad pita for me, haven’t tried Ondsel addon).

I don’t think they would just abandon the support overnight (unless they’re being greedy af and want to drive the failed “Windows 11” adoption very fast). The fact that they only make “sudo” utility only for Windows 11 is disguting (though you can do it yourself on windows 10 too), pretty sure they will keep giving security patches just like XP and 7 being legacy system.

As someone who mostly lurking back in reddit, lemmy sort of forces me to engage (give back) in community. While at first I felt weird, it grow on me to contribute for discussion and hopefully I can start my own post in a community lol.

Such bizzare moment when someone acknowledged megaten series and its fanbase on this kind of forum.

Fallout 1(!) and 2 is still enjoyable due to its turn based and variety of char build. Although may be frustating if you do not understand how the game played.

Meanwhile on Saints Row series, the best are on 1 & 2 (back when they have more grounded story though they have whacky side content).

I recommend to start learning fundamental electronics first then move up to microcontrollers (if you’re interested for that) or straight to device. Make a habit of reading datasheet. Reading datasheet is necessity to understand the characteristic of components you’re after.

While learning Arduinos are good to learn how to handle microcontrollers are interfacing electrics modules. Learning electronics fundamental is good start to put more confident handling electronics (especially low voltage/current stuffs). You may want to tweak lower devices first as higher power devices such as SMPS, Inverter, old CRT TV, Higher power amplifier require more understanding power electronics.

Afterward steps up to analog electronics (op amp, transistors, mosfets) then digital electronics (digital ics, microcontrollers). At this stage reading datasheet is a must in order to not miss anything from components you are going to use.

For learning via youtubes, you can try visit eevblog, GreatScott (general purpose), bigclivedotcom (general device disassembly/tear down), afrotechmods (his old videos are still good for explanation). For books, try to check other commenters.

You can learn at any pace and most importantly have fun :D

My tip for faster learning is by doing a fun project, it can help to motivate learning. You can start with something simple but adds QoL like making room thermometer using modules and microntroller.

Well, if your games is popular enough some may start to do revival project or create these custom servers.

Back in late 2000s I rememver my brother who used to play WoW on private server (which unaffiliated with Blizzard) and mostly these unofficial server are popular for MMOs game back then.

Nowaday, you can have something like OpenSpy which emulates GameSpy servers runs by communities. It is all depend how deeper you want to venture each games.

What you can’t preserve is the joy of playing on period correct experience :)

AI is a reflection of human nature, but it isn’t necessarily an easily controlled or shaped reflection of that.

This partly true especially models that deployed on public and uses large samples gathered from large amount of peoples. Now the parts that we can’t control is if the model is trained with skewed dataset that benefits certain outcomes.

Have read the article.

Maybe call me ignorant but as someone from Eastern part of the world, sometimes I wonder why would these people worry when all of these AI stuff are still prompted from human input, in a sense that We are the one who creates them and dictates its actions. All in all they’re just closed loop automata that happens to have better feedback input compared to your ordinary Closed loop system machines.

Maybe these people worried because these (regular people) don’t know how these things works or simply they don’t have or lack of self control in first place which what makes them feels like having no control about what happening.

I understand the danger of AI too, but those who prompted them also human too, in which it is just human nature by itself.

To be honest, it is first time I discover OpenSCAD, probably due to its nature modeling by programming rather than visually.

Logically you do want to model by visually especially when it’s more complex geometry and perhaps that’s reason why you may seeing them less getting recommended in general when something like BricsCAD (Education license), OnShape exists.

I agree Fusion 360 (on Windows) with Free Hobbyist/Personal license is good start to learn CAD modelling for free though as year went by the Hobbyist license becoming stricter and limited in term of policy which raising red flag for hobbyist, not to mention Autodesk also converting users lifetime license into subscription without any notice is enough reason to stay away unless your job provides you those CAD program licenses.

FreeCAD in its vanilla state (without tweaks) is pain in the butt in term of usability, it’s still bit “hard” to recommend for casual user when they are coming from commercial like Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks and such.

Recently Ondsel Team created sort of modules for FreeCAD which also marketed as standalone product that lets you to make it functions like Fusion 360 in term of cloud connectivity, their free tier also good even better than Fusion 360 Hobbyist License. They also contribute toward FreeCAD upstream for some general improvement though some of them are exclusive on their own implementation.

The day FreeCAD 1.0 dropped, I definitely going to try it out because I’m stuck on Fusion (needed for collaboratory work) ever since graduated from college.

FreeCAD alternative so we can have another FOSS CAD drawing software :(

No, I’m actually cool with FreeCAD but an alternative is welcome one especially one that can work on linux.

Internet Archive - Very useful for general usage internet but not for specific needs (check fmhy).

Have I Been Pwned? - Periodically use this to check whether your email/online presence is compromised or not.

Bitwarden (or if you want to self-host it use Vaultwarden) - Personally I used this password management so I can keep my pass and you can auto generate passwords with custom parameters if needed.

Curated OSINT resources - You want to ID someone online? this resources can help you to do so, though you also need to understand the basics. It may not work if person you’re looking for does not have a much online presence.

Appreciate it, will read more in documentations 👍🏽

For everyone who uses searxng, is it great for day to day browsing? Do I require to host my own instance or the setup is as easy as requiring to add “searxng” option on my browser app?

I’m interested to move away from google as it becomes shitty everyday and loses its effectiveness for advanced query (based on my own result compared during 2013 up to pre covid). Bing have weird result on my region so cannot use it, ddg only for occasional use.

Thanks!

For me it was og Counter Strike which runs on anything. Even we managed to snuck flash drive filled with the game copy so it can be installed on School lab PCs :)

Funnily last time I did that, it was one year ago when I convinced my college friends to do one CS LAN game on our student lab room before everyone graduated, played it with whatever laptop and mouse they brought :)

Been using revanced, sometimes using Iceraven (ff fork) w/ ublock origin on phone, and using librewolf (another ff fork) also w/ ublock origin on desktop. So far never encountered slow down since November 2023.

Is this slow down only on select extension issue? Although when it first happend (late 2023) I was thrown up by sudden yt not loading on my librewolf but it only happend only on single day, afterward it gone.

I wish I didn’t have to pee be so bad.

Text that you can hear.

Tell me you never used Arm based system for daily drive without telling me you never used Arm based system. General software compatibility is not there and PC is not only on Windows or Mac. Sure on Mac they have enterprise support for their user. By having more power (bruteforcing) to run the emulation simply does not mean the software run flawless.

Maybe I’m a bit bias since I’m comparing it with SBCs (but thats what is affordable). As someone who have Raspberry Pi 4 and Orange Pi 5, the situation is a bit different. Raspberry Pi have a well supported system by communities and the devs, meanwhile on Orange Pi 5 some drivers are not released by the Orange Pi/left to the dust if there are no maintainer, not to mention if you want specific build of binary which not covered by repo/ppa, you have to build yourself from source, and the GPU driver situation for OPi5 which not yet have Vulkan support and sub par performance on Linux meanwhile on RPi5 they have Vulkan support 2 weeks after release.
