Did you like Kinds of Kindness? I have it on my list of stuff to watch but was wondering what someone else thought of it.

Yes. Law Enforcement has always been this way in USA its just that now they have whole teams doing it and don't care if the camera is rolling.

Used to it would just be whatever one you crossed paths with that got a wild hair.

And the spying all ramped up since 9/11, PRISM and whatnot.

We've been fucked for a long time.

How much you wanna bet that bodycam footage isn't released?

Johnny Bravo.

No means no Johnny.

I've looked around but just haven't found many viable options for some I know that Alienware made one awhile back but no longer do it looks like the poster that replied to you on this comment though found a pretty sweet deal which is awesome. Just smaller than what I would be wanting.

I want one that's like 55"- 65" 120hz and has a display port and I haven't been able to find a single one they're all TVs full of spyware and no displayport options. (I have my current tv blocked on the router level from the internet)

I'd even just settle for a smart tv as long as it just had a display port. I might just have to switch to a monitor soon to get the most of my system. I would no joke be willing to save up and pay around 3K for a 55" to 65" monitor with 120hz and a displayport with no internet access. But they just don't seem to exist from what I've seen.

You have a different username than the poster.

When I was in an area that only had Spectrum and was forced to use them I was appalled at how awful the service actually was.

No exaggeration the internet went out for around 6 to 8 hours on a random day of the month EVERY single month often times twice a month. Every. Single. Month. That I had them. And I had them for right at 3 years! My internet now only goes out if the power goes out and then comes right back on.

It was also ridiculous quality I pay $40/month for the same speeds I was getting with their $100/month plan. Granted, I use fiber now but still how in the hell was that even ok I actually don't understand how they stay in business like that. Like I pay less than half for the same speeds with ZERO downtime.

Anyway after I switched they bombarded me with calls and physical mail. I mean dude they would call at like 8 am trying to sell me internet or phone or whatever. 8 am is insane for a cold call and it seemed like it would always be on the one day I had off that week.

I finally called them and told them that according to the law (TCPA) if they continue to call I will file a complaint and they will be fined $500 per call. And just like that all the calls stopped. I had to actually make an entirely new email to get the emails to stop though I can't tell you how many times I've seen the exact screen you posted.

Also when I returned the router the "computers were down" and they had to hand write me a receipt for it and then months later seriously like 3 or 4 months after that they tried to say I didn't return it. Luckily I kept that piece of paper but imagine if I hadn't. I wonder how many people they hustle out of money that way.

Anyway, that's my rant. Good luck to you and sorry you have to deal with Spectrum!

Edit: Just now saw the answer in your comment above that's a huge bummer damn the HDMI Forum but thank you so much for the answer!

I havent seen a setting for it but on this tv if you hold down the play button it opens a game mode taskbar that says the resolution if HDR is enabled and if VRR is on or off.

On PS you can set the settings on the playstation itself to automatically use VRR when available so when I'm not running a game it says VRR off on that game mode bar that the tv pulls up but when I start a game it automatically switches it on and says VRR On on the game mode taskbar.

I definitely did because I was super hesitant about it too but yes I will probably just direct most of my questions here and other forums in the future.

 

I have an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz processor and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT setup hooked up to a Samsung S90D as a monitor. Running Fedora KDE Plasma.

I can enable 120hz and HDR from my settings but see no way to set VRR anywhere. It works with the Playstation so I know the tv is capable. I asked AI a couple times just to get a rough idea of things I could try and tried the command

kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key "VRR" "true"

but didn't recieve a response so idk if this worked or not. Is this going to require installing AMD proprietary drivers? I briefly read a little about that and it looks like the process is quite a bit above my current skill level.

I saw a dev post about disabling Multi Stream Transport on the monitor but I could not find this setting on my tv anywhere so I think this may be a monitor only setting.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated thank you so much in advance!

I think it may be because I had installed the steam flatpak beforehand I did doa full delete of it but maybe something in this file didn't get cleared?

I'm definitely not the most experienced Linux user yet so I don't even really know what I would be looking for that would be suspicious or not correct in that file

(I am a beginner) So I recently installed a fresh version of Fedora KDE Plasma after switching from GNOME Fedora because my understanding is that gaming is a bit better supported with KDE. (I switched because Cyberpunk wouldnt let me enable HDR even though it was on in GNOME settings and am on the journey of using gamescope and all that with this KDE install)

So the first thing I noticed is Discover absolutely WILL NOT let me download RPM versions of anything Flathub only even though I do have all third party repositories enabled. On GNOME I could just toggle a switch right on the software page to select which version of an application I wanted to install but no such luck here which is a bit of a bummer.

Normally I would use flatpaks but Steams flatpak requires me changing the udev rules for input and I dont think Im ready for all that quite yet so wanted the RPM version which I installed using the official fedora documentation to do so (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/gaming/proton/) and I did all of that and it did install however I encountered the errors in the pictures above and my questions are:

  1. Can I just ignore this with no issues to my system?

and

  1. Is this somehow related to KDE not showing me third party repository options?
