  • those are still connected via USB internally most of the times, type lsusb and if it's there, same thing applies.

  • if your BT is connected via USB (lsusb), there's a buncha kernel switches that prevent it from suspending. since it's a stationary device that's often not needed, so disabling USB and BT autosuspend goes a long way to make them things behave.

  • I mean, just imagine you're spitting game at cutie at the bar and things are cooking and you go "hit me up on hkmbljurgh" and all of a sudden fire and brimstone all around kthulu cthulhu appears wondering why you summoned him them you scream sorry bro wrong number bro kthulu goes its aight but he they missed a dentist's appointment because of this the barkeep is now pissed who's gonna clean this up cutie is nowhere to be found...

    shoulda gone with signal is what I'm saying

  • thank you! I am also one of the dozens of people who can read, what are the odds we come across one another on lemmy of all places, huh?

    while I have you here, would you say that giving unpronounceable welsh names to new entrants attempting to challenge established players with a decade+ strong foothold in this space is a) a prudent decision or b) hella stupid?

    we got issues switching normies to signal which has been around forever, how's tongue-breaker gonna make any progress?

  • omg, you BUILT it!1!!

    this is so stupid, on so many levels, I can't believe I'm even bothering to type this up. HN is truly on another planet.

  • my old guy is on the case:

    that's 2011 tech, works like it came off the line yesterday. here's to many more versions!

  • good work, hopefully it'll get integrated with lutris, no reason to be a standalone thing with duplicated work. I can totally see this become the basis of some bazzite-adjacent corpo-free alternative.

  • Imma be the problemXY guy here - ditch the https part. without it, you don't gotta deal with certs, signing, shit that's outside your LAN, etc. it's your LAN, do you really need that level of security? who's gonna sniff packets and shit on your LAN?

    now all you need is pihole where you set up your hostnames (jellyfin.lan, nextcloud.lan, etc.) and nginx proxy that maps e.g. jellyfin.lan to 192.168.0.123:8096. both of them run plenty fine in docker.

  • oh, I'm sure it didn't help any. wanted to switch to 1080p (although it ran a normal F41 Plasma just fine) from the get go but I couldn't until everything was installed and I was logged in. but even then it didn't feel drastically better. so I'm sure this runs way better on competent hardware, but for me there was no point in sticking around to tweak it as I have no use for this thing in my home.

  • I'm gonna hate on the thing. had high hopes from all the rave reviews so my disappointment was commensurate.

    you missed to state your config, and Imma assume it's a high-end system. how do I know? because I ran it on weak hardware and it was molasses slow. Ryzen 4650u, 16 GB DDR4, 500 GB NVMe and whatever graphics it has integrated, some rando controller, connected to a 40" 4K display, let's see what the hubbub is all about...

    the install process, forgetaboutit. can't believe they piggy-backed off of the broken-est installer out there, fedora's calamares. dog help you if you need anything but the vanilla-est install, as any changes to partitions result in unrecoverable install errors. as I understand it, there's a whole-ass fedora install that isn't needed for anything but to run the installer - hence the hefty size, about twice that of a regular install ISO.

    once installed, what everyone and their uncle forgot to mention during the rave reviews (and you kinda glossed over) is that a steam account is fucking mandatory. like, you can't even log in, switch to desktop mode, change resolution, nada. if you just want local-only games - get bent, you hafta go through us to access shit on your own computer! not only does this rub me the wrong way, I got no such spy/adware on any of my other devices.

    I got no windows with the mandatory online account, no Google TV with the mandatory online account, ditched Plex because it won't run with no internet, got no Android with a Google account... why would I make an exception in this case? what, gabe the yacht owner is "our people"? he isn't and I won't.

    it's highly impractical for everyday use (will it behave without internet?), not to mention - it's fucking superfluous. I got no games on there, no intention or way of getting them from there and I give a total of zero fucks about the chit-chat rooms and achievements and other crap presented therein.

    handling "alternatively" acquired games is a fucking chore. switch to desktop mode, do the thing there, then manually add and tweak them in steam's UI and add missing graphics and stuff and switch back and forth until it's all in order - you best believe the switch isn't instantaneous. it's not really a huge deal as you don't do that multiple times per day (or even daily), but I don't see why this couldn't have been a controller-only-interface activity.

    speaking of desktop mode, this was my first contact with the immutable, atomic, cloudnative, whatchamacallit concept and for me, this thing blows elephant fucking dick. it is so slow, cumbersome, inefficient... if you thought regular dnf and flatpak installs and upgrades are slow, installing anything here takes fuckin eons. and the constant restart prompts for this and that, dios mio!

    finally, everything feels sooo slow and clunky. I get that my puny hardware can't handle modern titles, but browsing the UI and interacting with the system shouldn't be even close to a demanding task.

    so mad props to the team who made this happen, I get how this is an impressive engineering feat to weld all them things together in a sorta cohesive way, but I feel some of the things I mentioned shoulda been way more prominently featured before us clueless folk decide to switch to it.

  • what/how do you run LLM on a RX 580? I thought ROCM was for RX 6xxx and newer?

  • ugh... having been involved with a coupla hardware businesses, asking the public what they think about a future product is hella stupid and then basing your decision on that is hella stupid. especially when you're a minor player with few options available and a history of scamming clients not being china-supply-chain-savvy. out of all them questions, the only ones I'd find useful is the geo distribution.

    as to the product itself, jolla is on my shit list on account of taking from the FOSS world and giving dick back; their "community version" for xperias exclusively and paid licenses can get fucked.

  • my baseline is a 7 year old model with 8 GB RAM and SDM845 that I can get intermittently for $50. for that kinda money I get a LineageOS fully supported device that's blazing fast, safe and secure against any reasonable threat; I have zero concerns a lost or stolen device will compromise me. as a bonus, it just so happens it's one of the best supported devices for Mobian and postmarketOS. so, that's the baseline.

    GrapheneOS value proposition is gonna be spend 10x that (at least!) for a marginally secure-er solution. that's a shite deal.

    now if they partnered with LineageOS and other "let's revive old shit left behind" that would be a different story. imagine if Linux was available only on latest gen CPUs, would all of us be into it? I know I wouldn't be.

  • whoever they end up with, it's gonna be a new model, which means perfectly usable tech from the last 7-8 years is excluded, and it also means it's gonna be expensive. so good for them, I guess, but this news doesn't concern me in the slightest.

  • batteries and hardware (motherboards, cameras, etc) on most phones and laptops are achievably replaceable. not "I'm boarding a plane better change it in my lap" but like half an hour of work, which isn't that big of a drag every year or so. watch any youtube video tutorial to get a better sense. I'm not saying grams can pull it off, but if you're even tangentially tech literate, it's doable.

  • can't recommend it enough, saner defaults, way smoother, mucho easier to work with than postmarketOS. wish I hadn't bricked my 6T, apparently can't resurrect it now without windows which I ain't got...

  • that clown? pass.

  • that's the bald guy that uses knives to poke and carve shit on tech stuff? blocked that cretin (thanks freetube!). that ain't no durability test that's just plain arrogance, look at me being rich and burning cash bahaha... can't stand those fucks
