If other people want to try:

NPR test

ABX test

It depends, some better Bluetooth headphones (like the Sony WH-1000XM family) support protocols other than SBC, which have a lot higher bandwidth.

For me I'd just say oh well, gotta fix it when I'm home again.

Otherwise I'd probably write some script on the server, which reboots my router when the server either doesn't have internet anymore or can't ping itself.

The simplest way is to launch the game, then go back to your steam library home. You should now have the gray image there. Then you can just rightclick and there will be an option to select custom art.

Verifying yourself wasn't what I meant, sorry that was a bit unclear. I meant make sure you don't fall for marketing bs, and maybe try to use the same good source of info for comparison. I usually compare projector specs on https://www.projectorcentral.com/, they have specs on the vast majority of projectors out there.

I'd be wary with old business projectors, their blacks usually suck ass. Specifically I'd heavily prefer Epson EH-TW and Optoma Home theater projectors to Epson EB projectors. The difference in color is night and day.

The audio advice is solid though.

Make sure you don't get scammed on a projector, always make sure to look at the native resolution, not the "supported" one. Also make sure to verify the lumens, all the listings with 10.000 lumens are using a different kind of lumens than those with 800 - 3000.

Last but not least, I wouldn't get anything used with over 2000 lamp hours.

For those confused, it's a space suit. I thought it was pajamas for way too long though.

Autoscrolling ist so praktisch mann. Und klicken für neuen Tab und Tabs schließen benutz ich sogar auch

With a bit of luck, Monado will properly support WMR headsets then. I haven't tried it myself, but apparently with some tinkering it is already possible to use WMR headsets on Linux using any GPU and get full 6dof tracking. There's a guide for it somewhere on reddit's linux vr subreddit.

This would be huge for my HP Reverb G2, especially as Windows 10 support is officially ending in October this year. Sadly, I recently upgraded to an RX 7800XT and the article says the following :(

As for broad GPU support, Oasis is unfortunately restricted to Nvidia GPUs due to the way SteamVR interfaces with the GPU drivers. Bucchianeri has been trying to gain AMD’s permission, although at this point, he says the effort is “dead in the water.”

Bucchianeri says in a Reddit post this essentially comes down to AMD either “ignor[ing] 3rd party usage flag when LiquidVR attempts to open the device [, or offering] a functional EDID override so we can mask off the flag ourselves.”

Mega geile Aktion, das ist schon echt witzig anzusehen: https://youtu.be/zrYtQ4JeDxI

 

I found these figurines in my grandma's attic, a friend told me to ask about them here. I assume they're from roughly 1990 - 1995.

I also found these receipts next to them:

My main questions are:

  1. (Which figurines are these?)
  2. Are they still worth anything?
  3. If yes, any tips on where to sell them? (I'm based in Germany)
 
 

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a driving journal app, to track when, to/from where and which distance I drive.

Ideally I'd like for it to be FOSS, but if there are decent Closed Source apps I'm ok with it too (I'd just block Network Access in Graphene OS then).

This post (not mine) has pretty much my ideal criteria, but sadly didn't get any answers: https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/88349/drivers-logbook-app-for-android-foss

Unlike the above post, I don't want this for tax purposes etc., but rather just to understand where all my distance driven comes from.

Edit: I've done some more research and haven't found anything, for now I'll just use an OnlyOffice spreadsheet. If I find the time, I might try developing an app for this at some point.

Edit 2: After developing my app for a week and then showing it to a friend, he instantly found exactly what I was working on...

Beware of used Pixels with a replaced screen

I very recently bought a used Pixel 6 with a replacement screen, not thinking too much of it. I even made sure that the screen looked good during pickup.

One thing I missed though, was that apparently my Pixel doesn't have a fingerprint sensor anymore. I did some research, apparently it's quite easy to break the fingerprint sensor (or some places simply just don't include a sensor in the repair?) when replacing the screen.

Today I also noticed (through Show refresh rate in developer options) that my screen will only do 60 Hz as well.

Also I have stupidly high battery drain, I'm not 100% if that's related though.

Long story short, learn from my mistakes and either don't buy a used phone with a replacement screen or carefully test all functionalities associated with the screen, mainly high refresh rate and the fingerprint sensor.

I recently got a Samsung Gear VR and noticed that even though there is a moderately sized subreddit for it, it doesn't have a lemmy presence, so I decided to fix that:

The community is for anything regarding Gear VR, be it asking questions, guides for making stuff work, maybe showing off a good deal you got, ...

I'm trying to find a way to stream my monitor to Apple TVs in my school via AirPlay. I've already done some research and it seems like there are currently no software solutions, with the closest one being openairplay, however it seems to be pretty dead.

I "need" AirPlay, as my school only uses Apple TVs, and it's quite inconvenient to always bring my HDMI cable and have to hook up to projectors that way.

I'm also open to more scuffed solutions, as I won't be going to that school for much longer. Some things I have thought of so far are:

  1. Using my old iPhone 6 (maybe jailbreak it, I don't think that matters here though) and something like deskreen to first cast my laptop screen to the iPhone and then AirPlay from there. I'd expect this to work, but it wouldn't be much less cumbersome than just using HDMI directly, and it would also mean having to carry that iPhone and a charging cable for it with me all the time.
  2. Using a Mac OS virtual machine with something like OSX-KVM, then possibly buying a WiFi card with AirPlay support and passing it through to the VM in combination with a similar deskreen solution as in 1. This also seems pretty complicated, and I'm not even sure if it would work at all.

Does anyone here have any experience with this, know of any better solutions (I'm also open to more scuffed solutions), or maybe even tried one of my scuffed methods already?

 

This isn't a question but rather a solution to a problem I couldn't find anywhere online, apologies if this is the wrong community.


If you have a Lenovo laptop (in my case a T14 thinkpad) and your display dims after about 30 seconds, no matter what you specify in Windows settings, you might have to disable the "Zero-Touch-Lock". You can do this in the Lenovo Vantage Software (in my case called "Lenovo Commercial Vantage") in the menu "Smart Assist".
