Well now I’m sold!

My tired brain looked at the thumbnail and thought that CRINK was some new onomatopoeia for wine glasses being tapped together

Why does the USA have jurisdiction over what TSMC (a Taiwanese company, AFAIK) does with their manufacturing tools, even if they come from the US?

Sounds positively Rapturous

You could look into low profile GPUs. Off the top of my head, the 3050 is probably the strongest of those, unless you’re willing to look into the A-class cards

This is also super useful for people deciding what to buy, when the vendor would obviously not be keen to let you plug a USB into their device and boot into the scary Linux

Will this work even if the drives are different sizes?

I tried Tempo and it seems to do the job well!

There’s some features I wish were present, like selecting multiple songs, but the feature list is quite good regardless

Not a pro by any means, but I mount my internal drives at /mnt. Its also where I mount my NAS

AFAIK mount point doesn’t matter

I haven’t been able to use it. I’m on Endeavour with KDE and every time I try to log in with Wayland I get a black screen and a very laggy mouse. The programs I open have streaks of black through them and are also laggy Not sure if I have some weird stuff installed in the background, but I’ve had to go back to X11

When you’ve clicked on the show and its showing you all the seasons/episodes you have, click on the settings (three dots) and select “Identify”

It’ll bring up a menu where you can input the name of the show, or its iMDb code, or a few other identifiers and it’ll show the matches it can find. From there you can select the correct show and it’ll populate the metadata accordingly

You tell them, Kwi-Chang! No more big government!

As AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and other companies develop better hardware, more software developers will be inclined to design for these platforms, and Nvidia’s CUDA dominance could ease over time.

This seems a bit optimistic to me. CUDA is currently the de facto method of utilising a GPU’s power efficiently. This makes them an easy choice for anyone with serious compute power needs. The other manufacturers are fighting an uphill battle trying to create an alternative that won’t be used until it is definitively better.

This just seems like a catch 22 to me

You can install Heroic Games launcher, which is an alternative Epic + GOG front-end (it also works on Windows and is apparently better than the real thing). You can use it to manage the compatibility layers similarly to Steam, but in my experience its function is on a game-by-game basis

As another commenter has said, go through ProtonDB and check all the games you can’t live without

I remember not being able to sell PC games second-hand in 2005 due to all the DRM on it, long before Steam became as ubiquitous as it is today

Also I’m pretty sure SteamOS is just a fork of Arch with drivers specifically designed for the deck’s controls. Hell, there’s a fork of SteamOS that AFAIK gives you the same experience as SteamOS (HoloISO), which wouldn’t be possible with proprietary software

I can’t. He wears it too well

Off-topic, but there’s a cat that lives nearby that has your name

Technically plants do respire oxygen and produce CO2, its just that the photosynthesis process produces more O2 than they need, so its a net offset 🤓

There have been experiments done since the 1800s proving that plants can survive in a closed environment, presumably by regulating the amount they photosynthesise, so there probably wouldn’t be a global loss of plant life
