  • Working from multiple computers - thoughts on auto-push branch to git repository?
  • Sorry what issues? I'm using syncthing to sync between a macos laptop, a macos vm, and my main linux desktop. I sync my projects folder with a lot of git repos. Maybe I've been lucky so far but no issues with syncthing and git so far

    It's really like magic sometimes

  • Are these liquid marks dangerous?

    Just opened my board with Gateron yellows pre lubed. The blue ones aren't lubed. I found similar marks all over the keyboard. Can these marks be dangerous and how do I deal with them?

    They seem to be under the transparent plastic sheet on which the switches are mounted. I think it has foam underneath.

    [Solved] Sorry if this not related to this community because I don't know where to ask, but should I buy this laptop? and does it play nice with Linux.
  • So last when I was following the issue on github, it would need to be supported by electron first. It’s in the works but for now, and take it with a grain of salt, I think the recommendation in the issue was to add the options in the desktop file or executable of the app yourself.

    If you are distributing the app with the flags then just a remainder to set the compatibility of the flags such that it also works with X.

  • Ah the problem you are describing in wayland actually usually happens only with electron apps. Most of the electron apps require forcing them to run on wayland. They are usually running on X (x-wayland) which cause all sorts of glitches. You can use xeyes to check if the app is using xwayland or not. If eyes move when you move the cursor inside the app then it's on xwayland.

    To resolve the issues for the electron apps I pass these parameters: --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

    Getting these args to flatpacks could be a bit tricky. You can usually find Appimages that can allow you to run these apps easily on wayland.

    I am also on ver 550.120 so doubt that driver is the issue here.

  • Finally, thanks for the clear cut answer. I don't have any experience with training on AMD but the errors from nvidia are usually very obscure.

    As for using gpus other than nvidia, there's a slew of problems. Mostly that on cloud where most of the projects are deployed, our options seem either limited to nvidia gpus, or cloud tpus.

    Each AI experiment can cost usually in thousands of dollars and use a cluster of GPUs. We have built and modified our system for fully utilizing such an environment. I can’t even imagine shifting to Amd gpus at this point. The amount of work involved and the red tape shudder

  • Sorry but could you please elaborate. I've been using nvidia forever in linux machines both at work and at home. I work in AI so using nvidia gpus is a must. Maybe there's something that I missed but my experience has been pretty solid so far.

    At home I am using openSUSE tumbleweed KDE wayland and at work ubuntu headless.

  • I don't see why it won't play nice with linux but as to if you should buy this laptop... it doesn't look in a good shape. I am a bit biased as I had poor experience with laptops with gpus. Old laptops can have bent heatsinks so you can't control the temps no matter what. If yiu are hell bent on buying it then I'd recommend to stress test both gpu and cpu and look for heavy thermal throttling

    Mechanical Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Set
  • Looks like generic chinese mechanical keyboards you get in flea markets.

    My first mech was very similar, got it for less than 5 bucks and came with kailh blue switches. Body was solid but switches left a lot to be desired.

  • Red Dead Redemption PC port will cost almost as much as a brand-new game - upcoming port for this 14-year-old game isn't cheap.
  • No issues since overclocking almost an year ago. Maybe a slight decrease in battery life but that might just be the higher fps in games or my aging switch. Also you can set per game overclock profiles inside switch. You get the full UI interface these days so even if by some chance it causes issues you can tweak it without leaving your game!

  • Red Dead Redemption PC port will cost almost as much as a brand-new game - upcoming port for this 14-year-old game isn't cheap.
  • Hard agree but if you want to give it another try then overclocking the RAM to 1600 MHz gets rid of all the stutters in both BOTW and TOTK.

    I am now spoiled and can't play both games otherwise. You would need to flash custom firmware in your switch for this though.

  • Most people want to be special or unique but what are things in which no one wants to be special or unique?
  • Developers when they search for a bug and no google result comes up. ChatGPT starts hallucinating mad and starts suggesting generic steps that you already did. And you've been slacking off for a few days because you know it's small biscuits and you can clutch in a few hours. But you start working just before the deadline and now the dread is slowly setting in.

  • Suggest me a coop game like COD World at War

    Need to scratch the same itch with my friends, in oder of priority:

    1. Available on pc and has full coop campaign.
    2. Military shooter that has cod like difficulty.
    3. Decent graphics. Not a hard requirement but this is one of the reason that WAW isn't working for us. It's showing it's age.
    4. Old guns.

    Bonus points if the game environments are destructable.

    Please no zombie game like L4D2 etc. Soldier on soldier combat is our jam.

    Only if battlefield 1 had coop that'd been perfect.

    Thanks!

    I let my younger sis modify my kde desktop.

    Hour after I come to this, I'm loving it. She modified it so it retains original kde look but has enough tiny details to keep it interesting. She says she'll resume the work tomorrow 🫡
