As long as you’re whining to the game publishers, not Linux people who are not only technically unable but also legally prohibited from doing anything about it.

It’s important to place the blame where it belongs.

More like Parabola, judging by the trajectory!

That man’s home address? /dev/lp0

Except Linux isn’t the dark side; Windows is. They are being freed from their cell, not entering it.

*from, you mean. Welcome from the dark side.

Choices which don’t matter nearly as much as people like to pretend they do, no less.

If you’re having trouble deciding, just pick a popular (general-purpose) distro at random. Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Mint, Bazzite, even Arch – whatever, it’ll be fine, don’t worry 'bout it.

It’s pretty much just like installing Windows, except minus the parts where they force you to create a Microsoft account and badger you to accept spying and such.

Freeze? Nah, it’ll keep chugging along 'til you reboot (or otherwise try to run a new program), and then won’t be able to start.

Home Assistant has been heavily working on that sort of functionality lately.

Neat, thanks!

I’m not thrilled about the camera quality (compared to a purpose-built surveillance cam with 4k and good low-light performance) and I wish it had PoE, but damn, can’t beat that price!

(Side note: does anybody else find it weird that PoE is so uncommon and/or adds so much to the cost of these IoT dev boards? I get that normal people don’t want the hassle of running cable, but it feels like the hole in the market is bigger than it should be.)

TFW Cloudflare is down but I can’t tell Lemmy about it because… Cloudflare is down (and Lemmy.world uses Cloudflare).

Framework Desktop 64gb

I wonder how that compares to my mini-ITX Ryzen 5700x3D/9070XT/64GB system. I guess yours is even smaller and better at running LLMs due to the unified memory, but mine is probably cheaper and better at gaming.

Tell me more about your homebrew esp32 cams, please!

How you gonna get the video feed off an IP cam and onto your NVR without connecting it to your network?

You’re not seriously suggesting using old analog cameras in 2025, are you?

I’m just wondering why the fine is only $10k?

Because laws like these were written a long time ago and never adjusted for inflation.

The exceptions are things like my phone because it’s a necessary device these days and there aren’t a lot of options for something not locked down to all hell.

Graphene is good enough, IMO.

The real problem is that getting to 99% is damn near a full-time job and the capitalist cartel actively punishes it (by only offering owner control in ‘commercial-grade’ products at huge markup, or not manufacturing such things at all and forcing you to DIY).

It’s unreasonable to expect any but the most dedicated (read: stubborn) people like us to be able to handle it; the only viable solution for the masses is to wrestle back control of the government and end regulatory capture of the FTC etc.

Didn’t they already try that? I figured that’s why Amazon wanted to buy them.

Half Life: Blue Shift already happened.

(I appreciate the Flintstones joke, though.)

Thanks, I had the same question.
