The HDR is fairly recent too. Before you had to jump through like 8x the hoops and also had to use gamescope which is another thing that could both improve and worsen the window situation. If you ever encounter a game where none of the other stuff works gamescope can force a monitor and separately force render and display resolutions for up or downscaling, but tabbing out or using other software like browsing to guides or modloaders have been kinda janky in some games.

This is one of those things that sounds impossible but then I've also seen when someone I know used social engineering to get a malicious build of a free video game on to the laptop of someone else I know to delete all his files remotely and for some reason it actually overheated uncontrollably and melted. I didn't believe that either until I went with him to get security footage from the university for the warranty claim.

That was early windows xp era though. I'd really like to believe a damned filesystem driver cand cause that kind of damage, please for the love of dog...

hdr works fairly easy now. Not sure about default proton but ge and probably some of the other variants like cachy have it mostly built in. I just use ge-latest for everything via proton plus until a game doesn't work with it before tryig others.

game settings go to launch options and put in:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

monitor settings make sure hdr is enabled.

I only do dual monitor now but whenever a game can't be on the right screen or does weird sizing shit:

alt+enter/f11 and drag to correct monitor, or

windowed, move to other screen, borderless/fullscreen, or

borderless, taskbar right click and select move then drag to other screen, or

select other monitor from ingame settings

If none of those work it could also be a native linux build which while nice to have tends not to be consistent across games, and forcing proton will redownload as the windows version which I've found will have different screen behaviours compared to native in a lot of games.

Freesync should be in monitor settings if its detected by the system. I've only confirmed it a few times working with ge proton as I don't have many games that both have it and that I remembered to check for it. Usually I do the deck thing even on my desktop and find a config that can hold 90/60/45/30 and set the refresh equal or double manually.

I've settled on fedora atomic and distros based on it, but still not set on my servers. Currently trying atomic server also but I'm not sure if I'm staying with it. I also have some talos nodes but I haven't gotten around to playing with that yet.

the little white one for the ribbon? that's the one I cooked. also burned one trying to install it as a replacement.

I'm not sure if there are any reasonably priced sources for me in bc. Last time I got some for a gpu and a laptop I ordered from the states but last I checked its like 3x what it was then

I'll probably just do this. I have the tools but not much of the motivation, but its really just not wanting to dig around to see if I can find any of the 10+ missing thermal paste tubes for when I put it back together. After wrecking a ps4 controller in a botched stick replace, I've done other part swaps with the wrap everything but the piece to remove in kapton tape and aluminum foil method to avoid needing any skill and its gone well for everything I've tried since.

yeah I probably wasn't doing in shell desoldering anyway but it would have been nice if diagnosis didn't require a full teardown and removing the apu heatsink and getting air dust on all the pads...

My power button clicks and feels normal. It doesn't work in any situation at all. I can turn on the deck from off by plugging in the cord and if it's already on but screen off I can only wait for it to die or open the shell and disconnect the battery.

This deck has: full shell swap, replaced worn cap and drifting stick with hall effect sticks, aftermarket buttons, replacement screen, aftermarket 1tb nvme, always had L1 require addititonal force after the click to work.

All mods were done at the same time and had no problems apart from L1 for enough time to finish spiderman, miles morales, 80% of FFVIIR, Act 1 of BG3 7 times, All of evoland 1 and 2 plus againnin legendary edition, both god of war and ragnarok, expedition 33 up to the snow area, both subnautica games, and a bunch of friendslop titles in between.

About a month ago power button stopped working and I haven't had the motivation to deal with it but I took it apart a little bit today, saw that the power button likely requires removing the mobo, and went back to not feeling like it.

Has anyone done a successful diy powerswitch repair? Ifixit only has instructions for the plastic piece on top, though the switch itself is probably a generic piece. I'll attempt valve if it's the only option but I don't really want to deal with mailing out the damned thing especially if its just going to get rejected and blamed on the mods.

I fucking hate mine but I can't stop playing beat saber. I only play the pc version with wivrn over wifi. It keeps forcing me into the little virtual scene thing when I would only ever want passthrough, some updates make tracking worse and beatsaber unplayable, controllers are super slippy and easy to drom/throw, management phone app spams you with ads/'reccomendations', never remembers my window setup and always forces me on to the store or socials by default and I have no friends that would use any fb/meta gaming socials, default face gasket is awful and I tried an alt strap and lost the original when the most comfortable setup I've since tried on someone else's headset was alt gasket and default strap. Probably other stuff I've forgotten.

at least you can read it though...

 

I'm not really sure how to proceed nicely here.

I have a hole in the wall of the top floor going down into the space between floor/ceiling joists. Middle floor wall is about 2-4 inches offset and not directly under, but the joists turned out to be parallel to that wall and a joist is on top. Is there a sensible way to route the cable?
In a different house the joists went the other way and I was able to just drill up from the lower wall with the flex bit and just grab the dangling wire from a ceiling cutout and reach in between and hook it on the puller in the lower wall but I'm not sure how to handle it this time.

 

Mostly entirely unfunny bird talking videos ending in the cringiest generated laugh track, but the people sending them didn't realize they was fake even after I pointed out they still had the sora logo just blurred or pixellated. I'm so damn tired

edit: and I guess aliexpress really wants to sell me womens underwear. I probably could have taken a better screenshot...

I noticed this today when I installed windows to use some overclocking tools that have no linux equivalent. I was running minecraft for windows in the background to warm up the air in the pc. Does anyone know what the third minecraft entry is?

 

I picked up some cheap rims but the part that rests in the dropouts is too wide, I haven't measured it but it looks like it would be possible to use percussive coersion. How dangerous would it be to do that or shave it down just a bit? The fork is aluminum.

I'll add photos when I get back home

 

could a resin printed fdm toolhead hold out long enough for minimal calibration and printing a new one? I have been considering getting a resin printer for miniatures friends have been requesting and it would be a way to get the parts needed to repair my fdm printers fully at home.

 

I'm getting a tad frustrated with the movies that get downloaded by my radarr setup. Mostly its the letterboxing being encoded in the file which on an ultrawide results in a full black border. Also just shoddy quality even on huge files.

With anime there is seadex and some reviewers here and there that give opinions on the best release to grab, but is there something like that for movies or is there only trash guides? One of the things that I've seen in anime reviews is that sometimes the bluray is plain old worse quality compared to the streaming platforms. Does anyone know of places where that gets noted?

Should I just download the largest file and get hardware encode and decode supporting gpu? Will I have encryption problems if I self encode from disk rips instead of using media player ready files?

 

I have a pixel 6a with graphene installed. I want to transfer everything to a second pixel 6a but the digitizer is toast. I tried mouse via usb a to c dongle to get in and back stuff up, but it doesn't work on lock screen presumably until it is unlocked once with the mouse plugged in, as with the new one.

really any backup method that can work will do if there are any.

 

Is this a thing that I could legally do myself or is there no choice but to suck it up and commit to more than the life expectancy of the panels before roi? We got two quotes last summer that were just not happening mainly due to windows and roof both bedding replacement as well. The current concrete tile is likely to be replaced with a cheaper material.

 

On the interior it is planned to have a framed bench but rather than interior storage it is wanted for exterior storage with a hatch door that can be pinned open or closed. Somewhat like a tour bus luggage storage.

Would it be sensible to frame this like a low doorway or window? Would it be okay to attach the bench wall side to the header of such an opening?

 

How is this done and what tools are needed? I'm going to be following a friend's recipe and instructions for a low abv beer, and borrowing the anton eastdens and smartref from work to measure sg and abv. Will I need anything else?

I need a replacement for the white plastic socket that the usb/charge board plugs in to. I used hot air to pull out a drifting stick but that also heated and fell off, and of absolutely fucking course, fell into the floor air vent and went on a grand old slippy slide away.

Does anyone know the actual name for this part? Everything I have tried searching so far is apparently wrong
