RCS vs SMS/MMS?
  • RCS does not go through Google servers. RCS with Google's profile do, which is not the case with Apple as they are using the universal profile.

  • Custom Linux Distribution just for Gaming
  • From my experience using Plasma 6+ and a NVIDIA card, I keep HDR on on my main display (Odyssey Neo G7).

    No issues with washed out colours on the desktop, everything looks fine

    I can watch HDR videos using the included Haruna player or MPV.

    Firefox has no HDR support outside Mac OS, so no HDR on YouTube.

    For games, it depends. Some games can detect HDR and work fine, but for most I have to use gamescope, which in itself brings some issues like not having the Steam overlay, games freezing randomly or just having terrible performance due to niceness (everything has a workaround though, but that requires some tinkering). Check my comments about the issues and workarounds

    For game scope running HDR, there's a lot of people and guides telling you to use countless flags that don't really do anything at all. The best thing to do is to read its documentation. I use the following flags as startup parameters on my Steam games:

    gamemoderun gamescope  -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 165 --hdr-enabled --hdr-itm-enable --hdr-itm-sdr-nits 300 -f -e --mangoapp -- %command%
    

    gamemoderun just enables game-mode, which can bring some small performance improvements.

    -W -H -r flags are to determine resolution and desired refresh rate. You might be able to omit those flags but I have had some issues with that.

    --hdr-enabled is the only flag needed to get HDR working. Nothing else. (except from enabling it on your DE)

    --hdr-itm-enable --hdr-itm-sdr-nits are for inverse tone mapping for non HDR games, it's the same as Windows Auto HDR.

    -f is full-screen, but to be fair I don't think this one is doing anything, but I need to test better.

    -e is to enable Steam integration, which should be the overlay and input, but its broken (there's a workaround, check the last comment made by me there)

    --mangoapp is to run mangohud, this flag is preferred over running mangohud before %command%. It's partially broken this way because it does not dispaly the GPU or gamemode info. Running it as mangohud works 100% fine but apparently there are some issues with it that are beyond my knowledge.

  • Hungarian PM's office demands recognition of all of Ukraine's Zakarpattia as ''traditionally Hungarian''
  • Hungarians are too clingy to Trianon, even today. They seem to think that these territories were actually traditionally Hungarian, despite being ethnically and culturally different but a very infamous census made in 1910 considered all these people Hungarian because they spoke the language to some extent.

  • They do but only on Bluetooth/Switch mode and has a very low polling rate. On my Deck it only works if I turn my controller off and on twice.

  • Android 15 can automatically delete your face or fingerprint unlock if they aren't working well
  • There are two types of underscreen sensors. The ultrasonic ones work great, even better than the back sensors I've used. Your finger taps and it's unlocked, simple as that.

    The second type are the optical sensors, and these are the bad ones. You tap it and have to hold for the scan to complete, but it might fail because the screen is slightly smudged, or the light didnt hit your finger on the right angle, the room might be too dark/bright...

  • Why does Asia scan to pay when the rest of the world taps? • The Register
  • Brazil's PIX is revolutionary, really. It's instant 24/7 transfers that don't depend on which bank you're using and does not need a third party app. Pretty much if you have a bank account, you already have PIX.

  • YouTube is now fully blocking ad blockers around the world
  • It's a staged rollout, meaning that not every one will get this (anti)feature at the same time, rather in groups.
