Apple? Or was there also a massive exploit found for Apple Silicon?

Been charging my phone overnight for years. Battery health is 100% and I never have to worry about charging.

Nice

I was just a tech-obsessed teenager who thought it seemed cool. Messed around with it but since gaming was a pain in the ass I shelved it and went to Windows. Eventually administering Linux systems became my career.

Windows 11 is hot garbage. I haven’t had anything outright break, but with my hardware my machine should not be as slow as it is. Installed Ubuntu since it’s what I messed around with as a teenager and here we are.

However, now that gaming is even relatively painless in Linux, it’s here to stay on my personal desktop. A couple tools still require a Windows install but 90% of my usage is Linux and I don’t see that changing any time soon.

EDIT: I wouldn’t say I’m an evangel or anything. I don’t preach Linux to people, nor would I want to get my friends and family into it. The last thing I want to do is troubleshoot their botched install because they fucked around with system files and broke something.

I wouldn’t really say I’m obsessed either, it’s an OS. It allows me to actually do the things I want to do, and quickly. I enjoy it but I don’t plan on distro hopping, making low level tweaks, or anything. It just works and lets me work and play games. That’s good enough for me.

Game Maker is still only in beta for Linux. They warn against working on serious projects on it because it can just randomly break them.

You know what? Ubuntu. There I said it.

I’ve been using it since 2007 - 7.04 was my first foray into Linux ever. At present day it’s been the most “it just works” distro for me. I installed it and… that’s it. Everything just worked.

I don’t care about the “ads” in the terminal. I don’t care that it’s “bloated” (even the most bloated distro is less bloated than Windows).

If a company is porting their software to Linux, chances are they’re focusing on Ubuntu. Not Debian. Not Mint. Ubuntu.

If something isn’t working, chances are there’s a community post about it with a working solution.

It’s cool that distro hopping is a hobby for a lot of people. It isn’t for me. I want no bullshit, just set it up and let it work so I can focus on doing stuff within the OS, not setting up and fine tuning the OS itself day in and day out. And for me that’s Ubuntu.

It’s unfathomably stupid that Samsung removed it for the Flip series, but I suspect it was a cost cutting measure.

No support for the Z Flip series. Lame. Still would be useful to use as a desktop monitor or something.

Google search results are literally the only time I read Reddit content these days, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that regard. They’re going to lose so many views if they block their content on Google.

K.

How’s your framerate for CP2077? If you’ve got it stable, would you mind sharing your settings?

Graveyard Keeper, Diablo 2 Resurrected, and I plan on getting Cyberpunk 2077 for the fourth time to play on the go - hopefully on a platform that crashes less.

This looks useful! Though I have to ask, why does this exist when EmuDeck is already a thing? What’s the “special sauce” for RetroDECK?

I’ve tried Stadia controllers, they’re janky but when they work they work.

I’ve tried Switch Pro controllers, same thing.

Xbox Series S/X controllers work perfectly. Absolutely no issues. I highly recommend them.

When I say janky, I mean sometimes inputs don’t work, you need to disconnect and reconnect them, sometimes even reboot the entire console for them to be recognized. Never had these issues with Xbox controllers.

Thermal paste, perhaps?

RE7 (and Village, its direct sequel) do a pretty good job of humbling you as soon as you get a bit overpowered. Someone else correct me if I’m wrong, but I recall reading somewhere that the difficulty dynamically scales - if you’re doing too well, the game gets harder. If you’re low on ammo and shooting desperately at a boss going “Die! Die! Die!”, you may find that more often than not the last few bullets in your mag seem to do the trick. Furthermore, there are sequences where certain characters will just keep coming. You are expected to run and hide. Usually when you’re just about to finish a puzzle, you’ll have to set it down and come back to it in a little bit because someone or something is after you again.

They’re absolutely wonderful games, and I cannot recommend them enough if you’re a fan of the series.
