Washing machine chime scandal shows how absurd YouTube copyright abuse can get
  • Ya I'm so sick of hearing "can't mention that, YouTube will demonetize me" on videos (or what amounts to that with censored language, topics, blurred guns now, etc.) Just makes it very clear we're living in a corporate echo chamber where everything must align with what advertisers want. How about what the viewers want??? Fuck the advertisers

  • Framework boosts its 13-inch laptop with new CPUs, lower prices, and better screens
  • Ultra 7 155H with six P-cores, eight E-cores, and eight graphics cores; or an Ultra 7 165H with the same number of cores but marginally higher clock speeds.

    WTF is Intel smoking with these naming schemes I can't even understand what this means. Thank fuck AMD is an option.

  • Best Linux Distro For Playing On Steam?
  • Having used many distros (gaming-oriented and otherwise) Nobara would be my recommendation as well.

    People saying "doesn't matter" aren't considering someone brand new to Linux would probably benefit from an out-of-the-box gaming ready distro (nvidia drivers ready, rgb drivers built in for gaming laptops, other gaming specific tweaks and fixes that they won't know to install on say mint, a perfectly fine, general use distro). Not to say they wouldn't be able to do all that on mint or Ubuntu or whatever with a bit of googling and effort, but they're asking specifically for gaming.

  • Independent auditors confirm top VPN doesn't log your data
  • I tried it for awhile. Speed was good, unfortunately for my use case had some show stoppers.

    Pros: -It worked good on Linux. -Custom pricing plans (you can pick exactly which nodes you need and only pay for those) available month-to-month, makes it easy to try

    Cons: -Android app couldn't remain connected as I move from mesh WiFi pod to pod. It would think its connected still but I would have no internet connectivity until I manually reconnected the app. (Everytime I crossed my house I would have to manually reconnect). -No port forwarding (torrents)

    Ended up switching to airvpn. Use "openVPN for Android" which handles the mesh pods, and openvpn on Linux as well. Works perfectly.

  • [HELP] Recognize Controller Inputs as Inputs To Keep PC Awake

    Wondering if anyone has a workaround to treat controller inputs as something that will keep the computer awake. I like to have my power settings set to timeout the screen after a short period of inactivity due to having an OLED laptop screen (minimize burn in). Problem is if I'm playing a game with a controller, it doesn't detect that as being "active" and times the screen out. Right now I just go and change the power settings every time I want to play a game with a controller, but it'd be nice if there is a proper way to recognize controller inputs as well, inputs.

    From some preliminary searching it seems the problem is they likely don't present as HID devices on Linux despite doing so on w1ndows. I couldn't find a solution to that; my instincts say that would need to be fixed at the driver level but its above my pay grade.

    Thanks for any tips!
