I've had a lot less problems driving motorcycles. The steering issues for KB+M seem really bad with cars, but motorcycles are much easier to handle. As soon as I could obtain a motorcycle I just used that as my primary transportation for my first time playing, made the game a lot easier.
There's one you can get from a sidequest that follows up on one of the major early plot points (won't say more due to spoilers). Takes a little time but it's worth it.
EDIT: There are apparently two others that come from quests as well, though I can't remember how far into the game they are.
Better for Linux? I’m not sure I would say it is. Better for the world in general? When you compare things like power consumption, you can definitely see that in some use cases (the average user), ARM is superior. But for Linux? Maybe by default owing to the fact that it’s more modern. As for RISC-V, the core is open source and “all” the extensions are proprietary, so it’s not as open source as it pretends to be. But it’s definitely better than what we’re currently accustomed to as mainstream.
i’ve had the same thought lately. the common arm design approach around the bootloader seems to turn old Android phones and tablets into e-waste sooner than necessary, in theory they could all run Linux and be useful for another ten years. but it’s hard enough to port mainline Linux to Android devices, and almost impossible to get all the included hardware working properly
I have been using youtube for many years and have never subscribed to anything. I always think they will just overload my email. But every youtuber asks for it and am still like nah. Is it worth it?
I started doing it because at some point many years ago, Youtube started to optimize their recommendation algorithms for maximum viewer retention. This led to more and more clickbait and drawn out videos in recommendations and homepage.
But on the subscription page, I know there will be a sea of quality videos to choose from, without having to sift through all the junk.
No, I got that part. Sorry. I don’t think I’m explaining myself properly. Has a similar story been posted with the same “I’m an awesome manager” pretense that they’re specifically making fun of, or is the post making fun of the types of posts on LinkedIn in general? I think, if I’m understanding the responses here correctly, it’s the latter and I just took it too literally.
I’m in your boat often enough. Sometimes a post assumes familiarity with a context and it may be hard to figure out the intent or sincerity without that familiarity.
Andor’s Trail - RPG where you search for your missing brother. Still under development, but there’s a lot of content. It’s convenient to fill a few spare minutes or waste hours.
I don’t think there has been huge issues with incompatible ISAs on ARM. If you’d use NEON extensions, for example, you might have a C-implementation that does the same if the extensions are not available. Most people don’t handwrite such code, but those that do usually go the extra mile. ARM SoCs usually have closed source drivers that cause headaches. As well as no standardized way of booting.
I haven’t delved super-deep into RISC-V just yet, but as I understand these systems will do UEFI, solving the bootloader headache. And yes, there are optional extensions and you can even make your own. But the architecture takes height for implementing an those extensions in software. If you don’t have the gates for your fancy vector instruction, you can provide instructions to replicate the same. It’ll be slower on your hardware, but it’ll be compatible if done right.
I would play on PC with keyboard and mouse EXCEPT when driving. Then I would pick up my DS4 controller because the joysticks work better for variable input with steering.
Yep this. Call in sick, quit, max out your credit, go halfway around the world, do literally whatever is needed to be done to see a total eclipse if you haven’t been able to experience it yet. It’s unreal.
Why update on that little battery life left… the power will return sooner or later, going without updates even for a week or two is no real problem. Hell, I update like once every 3 weeks to a month, it’s not that big of a deal.
Yea as opposed to the windows method of “just open regedit and navigate 8 folders below HKEY_CURRENT_USER to change some ambiguous system variable in hex” lmao
I’ll take editing a text file in /etc/ for my configuration any day
Cable internet tends to stay online even if your power is out. You’d need a battery backup for your modem/router, but it is possible to stay online. Houses can be clever like that, almost all of your utilities will partially work, even when service is interrupted.
That depends on the ISP having backup batteries for their equipment. It will usually only last a couple of hours. 5G will usually stay up for a few days. For longer outages, you will need satellite internet and lots of fuel for your generator.
It first downloads all packages from net, then it proceed totally offline starting by verifying downloaded files, signatures, extracting new packages and finally rebuilding initramfs.
Because arch is replacing the kernel and inittamfs in-place there is a chance that it will not boot if interrupted.
This issue was long resolved on other distro.
One way to mitigate it is by having multiple kernels (like LTS or hardened) that you can always pick in grub if the main one fail.
This issue was solved on Slackware in 1993.
It installs a “huge” kernel that contains all drivers to run on almost any hardware by default, alongside the “generic” kernel with only the modules you need. If the generic kernel fails to boot, you always have the backup, which is known to work, cause it’s the kernel you first boot into after installation.
Edit: Did some reading. “Linux-generic” is just the name of the linux kernel that is used in most computers (as opposed to Linux-realtime, which is the only other Linux kernel that’s still relevant).
Nah, cell towers often have some kind of backup power good for a couple hours or more, at least in the city where I am. I think I once had an outage last 3 days when a tornado wrecked the local transformer station, and still had cell service the entire time.
I don’t think I’ve had a pacman update take longer than 10 minutes before. Sounds like OP was updating all their AUR packages too.
Still absolutely a terrible thing to do on 10% battery life. I bet there’s an AUR package for “check battery level before update” out there somewhere though.
OPs meme is "use distro whose model is ‘give users enough rope to hang themselves’ " and complaining he’s at the gallows
