mudeth,

$5 to this person OP.

Linux isn’t going to help, and why the hell would you want to buy or pirate (and run the risk of malware) something you already own.

mudeth,

Are you seriously suggesting that a game meant to run on Windows 98 runs better on wine than it does on Windows 98?

mudeth,

Also sometimes it just literally does nothing. Push the play button and nothing at all happens.

That’s a bug with the notification/lockscreen widget AFAICT. Pressing play on the main player window should work. This is the most serious bug I’ve found. It’s quite a promising player otherwise.

I’m happy to know that Pocketcasts is OS now, that was my player of choice before trying to jump to Antennapod.

mudeth,

That’s weird then. Never happened to me and I’ve used it everyday for a couple of weeks now. I wonder if the two bugs are related.

mudeth,

Some banking apps are not working.

  • Install Magisk
  • Install Magisk Hideprops Config and Universal Safetynet Fix
  • Enable zygisk and add your banking app to the exception list
  • If your app still detects magisk as an app you can ask magisk to hide itself, or create a separate ‘work’ profile using Island (couldn’t figure out how to link it, it’s the app by Oasis Feng on the Play Store).

You’ll need to do reinstall magisk after every system update, doesn’t take too long.

mudeth,

No SD card, yes 3.5mm jack (from the specs and video).

mudeth,

Is the bootloader unlockable? I’ve been reading that Xiaomi is starting to make it difficult to unlock.

mudeth,

Oh that’s what I had to do for my Mi 11x/F3 as well. Good to hear. I remember reading that Xiaomi had gone the way of Samsung and completely stopped official unlocks.

I believe the reason they do this is because some resellers were unlocking the bootloader and installing a ROM with malware and selling that off to unsuspecting customers. This delay (and needing to be registered with a phone number) makes that process both impractical and easy to detect.

wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

If your device is on this list and you’re technically-inclined, consider installing lineageOS.

mudeth,

You are absolutely right about efficiency. Even the (less efficient) M2 is way better than the 6800U for example under single-threaded load. It’s ~5W vs ~15W, around 3 times as power hungry as the M2, while performing slightly worse.

The M1 is around 25% more efficient than the M2.

mudeth,

Your original discussion with @lemillionsocks, was about power usage while gaming, and the corresponding worst-case battery life. I was referring to this as efficiency.

I understand now that the term was misleading The M1 is 25% more frugal than the M2 under worst-case load.

mudeth,

Reaper as well.

mudeth,

They have unlocked bootloaders unlike many manufacturers. I’m running a 11x on lineageOS and it works great.

mudeth,

I love my Garmin watches but they aren’t really known for privacy or security. They had a ransomware attack in 2020 and the Connect service was down. It’s speculated that they paid the ransom.

How does India's visa office suspension affect Canadian travellers? (www.ctvnews.ca)

The suspension of Indian visa services for Canadians this week has prompted uncertainty among many who had hoped to travel to India in the near future. Here's what the visa centre closure could mean for India's sizable diaspora community in Canada, which is now caught in the middle of rising diplomatic tensions between the two...

mudeth,

India doesn’t have dual-citizenship; you give up Indian citizenship when you get your Canadian passport.

mudeth,

Thank you. My partner is afraid around dogs and cats, and news like this makes me feel bad for her.

I had the same dilemma about emotional support animals.

mudeth,

I didn’t realise how much I missed image peek (long press a post to popup the thumbnail image) until I switched back from jerboa to sync when it first came out. Especially since I mostly seem to be reading webcomics.

I don’t comment much, but sync’s draft feature feels very solid.

Otherwise I did feel jerboa was good and would have gotten used to it.

mudeth,

Peek means that as long as you’re touching the thumbnail, you see the zoomed in image (after a short delay). When you release, it snaps back to the front page. Without peek you would touch, view the image, and then gesture ‘back’ to go back to the main page.

This works on articles and gifs too, not just images. So if the thumbnail is informative you can save a lot of time and steps and get a quick gist of what the article is talking about

mudeth,

Because why not! Easy way to SCP files over, run scripts. Repurpose old devices as always on, low power servers. It ties in nicely with Tasker so if you want to extend functionality it’s easy.

mudeth,

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but auto batteries aren’t meant for deep discharge. UPS’s use a specific type of battery that is meant for it.

Using auto batteries in this situation would likely end up in them dying after a few months.

mudeth,

Thanks for your insight. You seem to have some experience.

I’m currently researching a solar hybrid power system in India and am going through different battery types. We have used deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with a regular UPS and I’m familiar with their lifesoan.

Do lifepo4s last longer? I’m only seeing marginally longer lifespans. I’m also concerned about safety. I’m quite scared of regular lithiums and have read that lifepo4s are more hardy.

What about maintenance? Anything else I need to know about them?

mudeth,

I didn’t know that deep-discharge batteries also had the same characteristics, TIL, and it makes sense based on my experience with them!

mudeth,

Good points to note, thank you! I would have taken the balancing circuit for granted, but it doesn’t hurt to double-check with vendors.

mudeth,

Namecheap is cheap and has low cost (free?) Privacyguard. Nearlyfreespeech.net is a principles-first web hosting company that is committed to free speech and also offers domain hosting and registration.

Microsoft to Drop Support for Third-Party Printer Drivers on Windows (petri.com)

“With the release of Windows 10 21H2, Windows offers inbox support for Mopria compliant printer devices over network and USB interfaces via the Microsoft IPP Class Driver. This removes the need for print device manufacturers to provide their own installers, drivers, utilities, and so on. Device experience customization is now...

mudeth,

So did my Asus motherboard. It didn’t install armoury crate, but it pop up as a suggestion. Maybe op just clicked through absent-mindedly?

mudeth,

Isn’t this an intrinsic problem with AMD graphics chips? I thought this was the case on windows as well.

mudeth,

As a digital nomad, I’m guessing you would have been to relatively low CoL places like Bali, Thailand, maybe Eastern Europe or LatAm. You have to remember that your experience as someone from the global north, earning in a strong currency is very different from a local person there.

Not that i disagree with you that rankings are flawed but by the same token, Canada /is/ in the top 5 for many people from low standard-of-living countries

mudeth,

Fair!

mudeth,

Which video?

mudeth,

Thanks for the answers! I had a bad taste in my mouth after his dandruff video which felt very corporate but I gave him the benefit of the doubt assuming that the science was solid. I guess my gut instinct was right.

I still think a lot of his videos are good, it’s just sad that the obviously sponsored ones are low quality. I’ll check out the links and response video someone else posted and keep being skeptical.

mudeth,

If you like Unravel 2 you’ll love ITT. Similar vibe. Some other recommendations that I played through with my partner:

  • Brothers: a tale of two sons
  • A way out
  • Trine, Trine 2, Trine 3?, T4? Only played the first 2 in co-op
  • Guacamelee, G2 (only played 2 in co-op, 1 was in solo)
mudeth,

I preloaded it via the Xbox app.

mudeth,

To get comfortable driving an automatic: keep your left foot aside. That’s it. Use only your right foot and you’ll ‘get’ it.

mudeth,

It’s just a worse version of an already existing idea.

mudeth,

Les vaches causent l’autism confirmé ! And microchip implants too, they were right all along.

Need help ensuring my public mediawiki is safe before launch

Hi, I’m setting up a public wiki using mediawiki and I’d like some help ensuring the server and mediawiki is safely setup before I start sharing it publicly. I installed it on Vultr using the mediawiki app from the Vultr Marketplace. Are there any things I should ensure before publicly sharing the link?...

mudeth,

Install fail2ban. Prevents brute force access to your server. The defaults should be fine.

mudeth,

What’s the code?

mudeth,

Thanks!

mudeth,

I get only 30 on series S and Xbone at 1080. I don’t think the game does 60fps sadly.

mudeth,

It doesn’t directly, but some banking apps detect magisk in the app list, so even if you’ve added the apps to the exception list in magisk they’ll refuse to launch.

Installing the same apps in the work profile makes the magisk app inaccessible/invisible to them, which allows them to start up normally.

mudeth,

Happened to me today. I used the DontFuckWithPaste extension and added WhatsApp web to it. Worked then.

However when I then tried to paste an image it didn’t work so I had to disable it for that.

An annoying workaround but it’s something.

mudeth,

I don’t think it’s necessarily the agreement that’s the problem. It’s the phrase, it feels like a regurgitated meme with no original thought.

If someone said ‘I agree’, I would probably upvote, or leave it alone.

mudeth,

Because Nintendo is famously suing Microsoft for emulators?

Dragon Age: Origins walked so Baldur’s Gate 3 could dash (www.techradar.com)

Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t the first successful attempt to marry cinematic aspirations with the traditional branching narratives and simulationist world-building of CRPGs. 2009’s Dragon Age: Origins had a very similar mission statement, offering a spiritual successor to BioWare’s earlier Baldur’s Gate titles long before...

mudeth,

Tell me more about what you disliked about D:OS. I’m playing through in co-op (in the endgame right now) and want to commiserate.

For me it was the bugs and some weird choices where things that should work to progress don’t, and some progress is so convoluted that we had to look it up and we were like ugh wth.

Looking up stuff is annoying when something you’re sure should work logically doesn’t.

mudeth,

Fair. I was playing a warrior so combat wasn’t as much an issue for me. Tbh when we were starting, someone told us to play DOS 2 instead of 1 since it’s a better gameplay experience and I wonder if all these rough edges have been fixed.

mudeth,

I’m playing co-op, so I have one PC and manage one companion, and the other player does the same.

mudeth,

OMG long-press to peek is so satisfying. And small things like image viewing. So easy with one hand double-tap slide, while connect had me pinching like a caveman.

And comment drafts.

Looking forward to the lifetime unlock.
