My own experience with Asus warranty was of utter incompetence.

It was a long time ago, around 10 years or so, and I sent a newly acquired laptop for repairs because of constants BSOD. Waited a month before getting it back… Without sound. Turn out they forgot to reconnect the sound card. I sent it back for repair, waited another month (because even if they are at fault, they won’t even fast track that repair), only to get it back with a nonfunctional touchpad. I don’t use it, so I didn’t send it back a third time, because who know what would have come back damaged that time.

So their repair woes aren’t recent. When their stuff works, it works well, but pray that you won’t need to RMA it.

Bosch for a decade, Miele for a lifetime.

My father Miele dishwasher is something like 20 years old, and still kicking with almost no intervention.

From my tests, Intel wifi 7 chip currently do not work with an AMD CPU on Linux. Qualcomm does work with a manual blob pull, but drop under load.

If I recall well it is the no-vPro ones that works, but currently there is a bug on AMD systems that prevent the BE200 to work. Windows already got a partial fix, but not Linux.

That because the measurements used in web browser, “px”, doesn’t mean “screen pixels”.

According to the W3 website :

“The px unit is defined to be small but visible, and such that a horizontal 1px wide line can be displayed with sharp edges (no anti-aliasing). What is sharp, small and visible depends on the device and the way it is used: do you hold it close to your eyes, like a mobile phone, at arms length, like a computer monitor, or somewhere in between, like an e-book reader? The px is thus not defined as a constant length, but as something that depends on the type of device and its typical use.”

So a very high definition smartphone can be seen as being less than 800(px)x600(px), depending on its screen size and aspect ratio, while still being 4k or more.

Because everyone (including most devs, myself included until some month ago) think that px = pixels, which is not.

When he says that the minimum is 800x600, it is most likely talking about px and not pixels.

What am I doing wrong (OpenSuse)?

I’ve been trying Tumbleweed for my gaming needs and so far it seems to be working relatively well. My issue is about removed packages. When I first installed TW, I removed quite a few packages I did not want (KSudoku, LibreOffice, and a few others). It has been a little since I’ve turned on my PC but yesterday I noticed that...

You can also change this behavior in libzypp configuration file, if I recall well.

The fact it isn’t Steam Deck verified is ironic.

Considering they allow to install application on the bios command (Armory Crate, that kind of shit), consider it already done.

Israel fumes as UN secretary-general leaves Hamas off sexual violence blacklist (www.timesofisrael.com)

In his report, Guterres referenced Patten’s assessment, but noted that it, “not being investigative in nature and given its limited duration, did not draw conclusions on attribution to specific armed groups or determine prevalence of incidents of conflict-related sexual violence during and after the attacks of 7 October....

It is pretty hard to say what’s is true and what isn’t in an ongoing conflict. Both side tries to make the other look evil while trying to hide or minimize their own evil deeds.

Indeed, but without investigations it is too early to say that it was a lie or if was the truth. Instead of labeling hastily one side allegation as lie, it has to be investigated, and proved as such.

Don’t mistake it as defending one side or the other, both side are different faces of a similar evil, but polarizing the debate in such way will just make it harder for moderates and peace advocate to be heard.

Unfortunately rapes are hard to prove. DNA traces and bruises are quick to disappear, and as such samples have to be taken quickly.
That’s why most cases of rapes are mainly based on victims testimonials, a requires extensive investigation to be proved as plausible enough to warrant a trial.

In the current case both side refuse to let third party investigate such allegation, and this should raise suspicion for both sides. But both have plausible excuses for such refusal. Hamas don’t want strangers to know where hostages are held, and Israel may want to protect the alleged victims from the media pressure.

Kernel 6.5 at the time of this comment, may evolve. Usually it is the N-1 LTS kernel.

Edit : considering 6.5 isn’t an LTS kernel, we’ll probably see an upgrade to the 6.6 LTS kernel soon.

That’s indeed how I view this rule as a mod. Self promotion is ok, “excessive” self promotion isn’t. I’m aware it is a bit vague, maybe we should explain it better on the sidebar to avoid unnecessary conflict. I’ll bring it up on the moderation Discord.

But to make it clearer, my opinion on the matter is that excessive self-promotion amount to the following cases :

  • Making multiple post about the same topic, multiples time is a shortish amount of time. Like posting once, then reposting the following day if your topic didn’t get as much traction as you’d have wished
  • Promoting things for monetary gains (sponsored links, etc.) without first disclosing it. As an example, I removed a service offering a backgammon online platform, by removing their first topic in order to make sure it was legit, which it seems to have been, not a ads/virus ridden website, which it wasn’t, and not paid, which it didn’t seem to be. As they happened to have made a new post in the meantime, I did not restore the first one, but did not remove the second one.

Of course that’s my opinion of the rules, the other mods may have a different opinion on the matter. I try my best to find a balance in my decisions.

That’s not something I know about, mind putting me in the loop?

In any case, I was sarcastic if that wasn’t obvious. There is good people among anarchists, as well as among those who aren’t. But not having rules make it way easier for the bad apples to get their way with it, as with them it requires a lot more investment and careful planing to break them.

Anarchism, like most other social organisation theory, isn’t immune to mass manipulation, coercion, or similar techniques used by the few to impose their view and interest to the broader masses.
