Anon recommends a cast iron pan
  • Don't these pans last like generations, being passed down? I doubt your grandma and her grandma were bothering to apply 8 coats of flaxseed oil and heating it up to 1000 degrees and the pans would still perform as expected for ages

  • Mozilla's massive lapse in judgement causes clash with uBlock Origin developer
  • It was a manual review conducted by an actual person that in the end admitted they were wrong

  • Ryujinx has been taken down after an agreement between the gdkchan and Nintendo
  • GitHub has nothing to do with this. All the information we have is that the dev himself took everything down after an agreement with Nintendo.

  • C&D in Brazil stands for Comedy & Despair, where you're the one laughing at the company desperate to get you to do what they want without having any actual legal leverage

  • The problem is that people tend to mistake being private to being above the law. You can argue against what law enforcement decides is a crime, but that matters little to service and providers and it's a another type of discussion

  • Thunderbird Beta for Android is now out!
  • You seem to be a function over form person, and I'm a function and form person. Surely, email hasn't changed since ever and all I need to see it's contents is a white page with black text, but that doesn't mean everything else has too look bad or lacking meanwhile, specially on a phone.

  • Thunderbird Beta for Android is now out!
  • The app uses Material UI, sure, but it's anything but minimalist. It feels the dev(s) tried to use and cram as much as possible from what's available from the design without really thinking of usability. Information density HAS to be lower when using a phone, since the screens as much smaller than a monitor and you don't have as much precision when using fingers to navigate around.

  • And here I thought K9's design looked a decade outdated already

  • Starfield: Shattered Space - Official Launch Trailer
  • Well it is an expansion pack, but nowadays I guess the distinction is kinda lost. I haven't gotten to start it yet since I'm battling terrible performance right now (a 3080 and 7800x3d are getting 40fps on low with DLSS performance on 2160p), I also haven't seen anything about the DLC, but I expect it to have some new shouts starborn powers, weapons/weapon types and some 20+ hours of content judging by the 40£ tag.

  • Starfield: Shattered Space - Official Launch Trailer
  • It's a new story all contained in one planet, with everything being handcrafted instead of procgen.

    On a side note, I can't remember the last time I played a DLC that added new mechanics

    EDIT: folks, it's nice that we're sharing games with DLCs that alter or add game mechanics, but let's not forget that I said "I can't remember the last time I played"

  • Starfield: Shattered Space - Official Launch Trailer
  • Nope, they recommend being level 35 at least but I'm not sure if it's a requirement. While jumping from planet to planet you might encounter the Oracle, which is where the DLC starts.

  • What if spouses took their partners first name instead of last?
  • Until the 1950s, by law in Hungary the wives would take the husband's full name. Júlia Kovacs would marry András Boráros and become Andrásné Broráros. Sexist and incredibly silly in my opinion.

    Nowadays they can chose to keep their name, change it fully or change their last name. I still find a lot of women that change their names fully and it's so confusing.

    From 2004, men can also chose to change their names on the same rules.

  • Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops
  • Brazil? I do miss being able to leave home bringing only my phone because my ID and cards are all there

  • Announcing: frog-protocols for wayland
  • You either come up with something like frog-protocols to try and actually get things done, or you can wait for Wayland devs to endlessly bikeshed. Getting some amount of harmless fragmentation on an open source project seems much better than waiting 4 years (and counting) for them to start actually working on implementing HDR.

  • Huawei's revamped Android competitor is launching with support for 10,000 apps.
  • Considering that they "block sideloading Android apps", then I so believe it's yet another AOSP fork that blocks apps from the Play Store to be installed

  • The longer I play games on arch the worse the framerate gets.
  • Had the same issue with my games, but Deadlock was one that I could consistently get it to slow down after a few minutes, all because of VRAM (I'm on Nvidia too). Simply lowering textures to medium on Deadlock solved it, at no discernable quality change.

  • PSA: With RCS now on iOS, be careful when renaming group chats
  • So people in the USA are just now finding out how pretty much every other messaging app behaves

  • Google has made fast charging the Pixel 9 Pro XL an absolute nightmare
  • I bought a Ugreen 65W charger months ago and I just checked the specs, 20V and 3.25A. Ugreen is probably one of the top 3 most sold brands for these kind of things. I also checked other (USB PD) fast chargers by them and Baseus, they all are above 18V @ 2A, so I don't think there's really any issue here other than the author not having a single charger that meets that requirement.

  • Help running AMD iGPU and NVIDIA dGPU on 2 monitors

    ``` SYSTEM INFO:

    • endeavourOS 6.10.3-1-cachyos
    • Kernel parameters:
      • nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 nvidia.NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
    • KDE Plasma 6.1.4 on Wayland
    • AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with iGPU enabled on BIOS
    • NVIDIA RTX 3080 with nvidia-beta-dkms 560.31.02-1
    • Main display plugged on NVIDIA GPU (display port)
    • Secondary display plugged on motherboard (display port) ```

    I want to be able to make use of my iGPU (AMD Raphael on a Ryzen 7 7800X3D) to render everything, and run my games on my NVIDIA RTX 3080. It's a desktop PC, I have 2 monitors, my main one is plugged to my 3080 and the secondary is plugged to the motherboard, and by doing so, VRR/Gsync works on my main display (the only workaround to get VRR working with a NVIDIA card and multiple monitors). The second thing I would like to do is for Firefox on my second screen to render/decode with my iGPU, so I can watch videos and streams there without sacrificing my frames on my games (losing about 20 frames playing Helldivers 2 if a video is playing on the background because it uses my dGPU to decode).

    I've installed nvidia-prime from AUR and added the udev rules as written on arch wiki, however it seems that my iGPU isn't being used at all

    ❯ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA102 [GeForce RTX 3080 Lite Hash Rate] (rev a1) 11:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Raphael (rev cb) ❯ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080/PCIe/SSE2

    I've noticed that moving my cursor and windows on my desktop is now slower/laggier (check notes below), and my turing smart monitor can't detect my NVIDIA GPU, but that's the extent of the changes. When I open Firefox directly on my second screen and play a video, with nvtop I can see that my NVIDIA GPU is the one doing the work with my iGPU not being utilised at all: https://i.imgur.com/CPPICUk.png (notice how there is no usage at all on my iGPU)

    I've got a screenshot while I was playing Helldivers 2 and playing a video at the same time, and if I paused the video I'd get my frames back. Using prime-run to run my games has no difference since everything is being handled by the dGPU anyways.

    Is there anything I'm missing here? I'm happy to provide more info but I'm a bit clueless on how to troubleshoot this more so any help is much appreciated.

    NOTE: Regarding the choppy cursor, it is not because of GSP firmware. I've tested the proprietary drivers with and without GSP firmware, and the open drivers since 550 and I haven't noticed a single difference in my setup, they all perform exactly the same. Besides, I'm using the beta 560 drivers which are open modules only, which needs GSP firmware enabled.
