I happily use Fedora for workstation purposes but hate to admit I use it, so it’s an accurate critique. It’s a great operating system though, naming aside.

It literally was in the opening paragraph. Previous years keynotes are available in a playlist here, so I assume they’ll do the same for this year’s keynotes as well. The event only just ended yesterday.

Open Source Summit 2024 keynotes. I don’t think any of the recordings are available yet.

You need to use chown if you want to own the libs

It was a sad day when my Metroid Prime 4 pre-order at Amazon with a very nice discount got cancelled

The LE steam decks are shipping with a screen manufactured by BOE.

Mine just arrived and indeed has 3 dead subpixels (2 blue, 1 green)

LE, order placed 10:19 Pacific. Not shipped yet, but packaged. Guess the Canada shipping backlog is real – hopefully it comes this week.

I don’t really use it for this, but here are some things I do use it for:

• metrics scraping on servers without needing to open ports or worry about ssl encryption. Works great for federating Prometheus instances or scraping exporters
• secure access to machines not directly exposed to the internet. I.e. ssh access to my home box while I’m traveling
• being an exit node for web traffic while traveling. I.e. maybe you are traveling and have a bank who is giving you grief about logging in – masquerade that connection from your home IP

I mostly just use it for metrics scraping though

DVDs are 480p, 720p wasn’t introduced until the Blu-ray/HD DVD wars

If you were under Linux, you could have the start command change desktop resolution with xrandr. But since you are on Windows it looks like qres is a command line app to help you achieve the same thing: https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/qres.html

There’s also HDR switch: https://github.com/bradgearon/hdr-switch

Using the nvstreamer1080 option may be a bit easier, but nice to have options!

Edit: I should read better. Did you try

C:\\path\\to\\QRes.exe /x:1200 /y:800

Just run from you command line first until you get the hang of it

It was only that price if you managed to buy it immediately after going live. The pricing was adjusted a short while later.

Sync has been a one man show for over a decade. Just how fast did you have in mind?

it doesn’t cost money and you can use it for anything you like.

This is misrepresenting FOSS quite a bit. A lot of open source software is indeed this permissive, but not all of it. It’s important to refer to the license of each individual project because various licenses have different terms.

Some open source software may be free for personal use, but that license may not extend to other companies seeking to profit off their open source and good will. ZeroTier comes to mind as an example of this.

Further, other licenses like GPL only requires that you make your sources available upon request but you can require that your customers pay you to receive the product: i.e. RHEL. At the end of the day, FOSS means free as in speech, not free as in beer

But salt has the electrolytes the body craves!

I originally bought the JSAux Dock and shortly after connecting it to my TV it started wrecking havoc with the CEC functions. Volume control would randomly stop working. Was pulling my hair out thinking that something in the AVR stack was starting to fritz out and go.

I pushed them for a refund and swapped to the OEM Dock. Haven’t looked back since. CEC issues disappeared and the dock feels a lot more reliable than the jsaux one.

Also JSAux dock only had windows firmware updaters at the time, so wasn’t a great look for first party support.
