Can someone eli5 to me why it’s hard to track down these dipshits ? Even if it’s a distributed attack, picking a single IP and doing a lookup for the domain name and checking with the registrar might actually reveal their identity right ? Of course I’m guessing law enforcement needs to be involved to force registrars to give up that info if it’s not publicly available? Are there laws that say a ddos is illegal ?
It grinds my gears that sony software locked the ability to backup saves locally on the PS5 making a PS plus subscription the only way to have a backup of save games. I don’t play multiplayer and don’t play the monthly free games either so I have to pay a premium for the rest of my life to get a basic functionality that was present in ps4 but got nerfed for some dubious reasons in ps5. The recent ps plus price hike was the last straw so I ditched my PS and got into PC gaming and loving it so far.
I have been looking for some client tool to interact with Bluetooth on windows. After a lot of searching, I came up empty so I bit the bullet and decided to code one myself and managed to create a small command line utility using C# .Net and it was surprisingly easy. It would have been so awesome if something like bluetuith had existed for windows so I’d be happy to contribute. I should point out though that I have not written any windows based app/tool ever and this was the first one so I would definitely have some learning and research to do. I mainly use a Mac for work and personal stuff so I can contribute for the Mac portion of it as well if required. As to the implementation itself, would it be viable to use something like rust which already has cross platform support so that the server component can just be a single codebase instead of platform specific?
I just mentioned rust as that was the first thing that came to my mind. I’ve not worked with it either. I am ok to take whatever direction you think is appropriate for the product. I just want to contribute to the tool since I was also looking for something like this in the past and I can see this tool being useful for me for my own personal projects. I can definitely help with the macos part if that’s what you need help in. Please feel free to DM me.
Every time I wake up PC from sleep I have to go to bluetooth settings -> select device -> enable connection to get sound on bluetooth speakers (Anker Soundcore). Bluetooth came with MBO and drivers were working out of the box after PopOS install....
Please don’t crucify me but is there a way to do this on windows ? I just have a handheld gaming console that came with windows and it’s setup just the way I want but would be nice if I can also connect to Bluetooth using command line so that I can map it to playnite and have it automatically connect to my headphones when launching a game. I did a lot of research and tried some stuff like “Bluetooth command line tools” which worked a bit but somehow caused a lot of instability and caused crashes so had to stop using it.
Suppose we have a large to-do task manager app with many features. Say we have an entity, which is the task, and it has certain fields like: title, description, deadline, sub-tasks, dependencies, etc. This entity is used in many parts of our codebase....
I am still confused about what OP is looking for. Even in typescript, if a new field is added and not used in other places, compilation will fail. Unless OP explicitly marks the field as optional.
There’s also the possibility that the codebase is littered with the “any” keyword (I’m not saying OP is doing it but I’ve definitely seen plenty of codebases that do this). If someone says they’re using typescript but their code is full of “any” keywords, they’re not using typescript. They’re just using plain JavaScript at that point.
It still doesn’t make sense. Obviously your whole explanation hinges very heavily on what exactly you mean when you say “not used/handled” . Depending on your specific use case this could mean anything. As with any code related question, there’s only so much that people who haven’t seen your code can do to help. I think the easiest way to avoid this confusion is to just show some code so we are all on the same page about what the issue is.
On thinking about this a bit more, I feel like you may be expecting the system to handle situations where your business requirement needs the new field to be used now, but used to work without this field before. Based on the example you provided, I am imagining something like a getTasksForUser functionality which previously might have just been filtering on userId but if the business now says that this functionality should now return tasks sorted by priority, you expect the system to somehow know the business requirement and force the developer to use this new priority field ?
If that’s what you’re hoping for, the problem is harder to solve although not impossible. Assuming the example as above , you could maybe just inject the priority field at the data access layer . Another way would be to make the modified entity private and expose a facade with helper functions that are exposed. Now when code that previously used to rely on the entity inevitably breaks , you can replace those usages with usage specific functions exposed from the facade and since the entity is now accessible only from the facade, you can easily update all usages within the facade and make sure no one can miss passing the priority field since the entity is private to the facade and all functions in the facade are known to use the new field.
I think it’s the convenience and portability that most people like, including me. They don’t have to be played in handheld mode. They can be connected to a monitor and optionally even support external gpus. That’s how I play big titles, docked, with an egpu and a monitor. But when I need to, I can just take the device with me to play smaller titles like sea of stars and mass effect legendary edition on the go
I understand this is lemmy and comments like this are to be expected but does it have to be for every post that is related to windows ? In general, I agree that windows has quite a few drawbacks compared to Linux but for gaming pcs, once the initial setup is done, you can just launch a game and it just works without any tinkering. I don’t understand the argument that people should throw away a whole OS and switch to a different one and lose the ability to play a bunch of games in the process. Doesn’t context matter when discussing the pros and cons of something? Or is there some massive drawback to windows for gaming handhelds that I’m not seeing ? Or is there some magic sauce in Linux that makes every single game playable without tinkering ?
Got it. I think I see what you mean but I’m not sure if I just got lucky or if the games I play have accounted for it but I am able to just suspend and resume without issue on my windows handheld. Unless we have different definitions for what we call suspend. When I want to suspend, I usually pause the game and push the power button once and leave it like that for hours and then come back and push the power button again to turn the screen on and resume playing. I’ve done the same thing on a steam deck and it works similarly there as well so I’ve not noticed any difference. Unless you mean the ability to somehow take a snapshot of the running games state and store in on non volatile disk and completely power down and turn it back on to resume. If steam deck can do that out of the box, that is indeed impressive.
I have a rog ally and legion go but I only use the legion go for portable gaming so that’s the only one I’ve tried suspend/resume on and it has worked for the two games that I’m currently playing on it.
In case you weren’t aware , you can disable internet in ps5 settings and launch the game and it won’t bother you. Had the same shit happen in AC Valhalla and it was so annoying turning internet off and on just to play this game. I would have been ok with this if at least the game worked the same after signing in but no … A whole class of online specific bugs started to show up ranging from stupid stutters to outright in game repeated popups whenever your player moves, it made the game unplayable so had to delete the whole game. I tried again later after a few months and the bug had been fixed so it was better but still had random stutters.

I didn’t get that far. I wanted to try and finish the whole thing like a normal crossword before trying to find out what the other word/words could have been. But saw that the solution was posted and just clicked on it.
