The article mentions another display with a 33 Hz refresh rate. But be aware that there would be significant ghosting even just scrolling a page of text, more so than even a measly 33 Hz refresh rate would lead you to believe.

I will check when I get a chance. Nothing jumped out at me after, but I didn’t think to check in the moment.

Yes, I tried with VLC as well. It works as intended there. Video pauses, and the PC suspends or shuts down normally.

Firefox seems to be the only thing that prevents it, and only if there’s a video loaded. Doesn’t have to be the active window, and it doesn’t matter which display it’s on. If there’s a video playing or paused, it prevents suspend and shutdown.

That’s not a fix though, it’s a hoop to jump through every time. Regardless of OS, it’s incorrect behavior.

Others have already answered your questions, so I just wanted to add that the Linux community is based on sharing and cooperation, mainly though Open Source principles, but also in most other ways. From personal experience, I would say that the community is pretty much always willing to help out when you experience issues. There’s always someone willing to share some insight.

Or Canada with the dairy subsidies.

Also it’s not like the US has subsidised corn for decades or anything like that.

It doesn’t do it natively, but it does have plugins for CAD features

Hi, everybody!

This is about their right to block a range of IP addresses. I don’t think they’re suing for damages.

There was a period of time where a game being on CD was enough to prevent most copying. Games would read data off the disc, and some of those that didn’t need to still required the disc to be in the drive.

When CD burners became cheap enough for everyone to own, they needed new methods of DRM, like authentication, and custom burning methods that couldn’t be copied the normal way.

What games should do is tell you the impact that settings have on performance. Just a text blurb that mentions how significantly you can expect a setting to matter. I’ve seen it in a few games where some settings are marked with something like heavy performance penalty but it would be nice for more things to be labeled.

Looking at something like the task manager will tell you your CPU or GPU is maxed out, but how do you know what to change to correct this? Can you just change a few barely-noticeable settings, or are you expected to replace your CPU? If the recommended is CPU X, then why is my CPU Y maxed out? If I exceed the recommended build, why is my performance so bad?

Often the recommended build is not enough to max out graphics at reasonable framerates, for example.

Nobody knows because nobody who’s tried to follow through has reported anything happening.

What’s the point of screencapping text that’s already included in the submission? Like the whole process is text-based, and adding pictures or video of that text adds nothing useful.

Most of the games Steam sells are also shovelware.

Major releases typically use at least Steam DRM, and Steam itself only mentions if 3rd party DRM is included. So in most cases, you can’t know if a game uses Steam DRM until after you’ve installed it.

Including Steam DRM?

As long as it costs less than traditional electric heating, it should be fine.

It would not. All work puts out an equal amount of heat for the amount of power drawn. A 1500 Watt electric heater will put out 1500 Watts of heat, and a 1500 Watt computer puts out 1500 Watts of heat, but only if it’s putting in enough computing work.

That computing work might be worth something if you’re lucky, which is where the actual savings are. OP ended up saving much more money from heating less than from earning any crypto.

Not every instance blocked them, but many did.

The fear of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish got a hold of the fediverse when Threads was originally announced.

I haven’t bought an HDD in a long time, but is the drive’s packaging itself not designed for shipping? The last one I bought had a ton of empty space and shock-absorbing packaging inside the box.

In the settings panel, the Advanced section has a setting for network interface, with a drop down menu of your available network devices. Your VPN connection should appear as a separate device in the list. If you choose that, it will only send data through that device, so if you’re not connected, it has nowhere to send data to.

The github only has a description of the setting, and doesn’t really explain it any more than that.

Does Transmission let you force the use of a specific connection?

For example, qBittorrent lets you choose your VPN as its only allowed connection so that you can’t accidentally use your regular network when not connected to the VPN.
