Potential Super Cheap Charger - Ikea SJOSS
  • The site works fine with javascript blocked.

    Regardless, IKEA is known for putting out quality but inexpensive electronics. Their rechargeable batteries and smart home products are great examples.

  • Let's be honest, the reason for that policy is so that if a Chromebook does fail you can go back to the manufacturer for warranty coverage.

    I would trust an Anker charger just as much as an OEM charger.

  • USB-A, per the specification, is only supposed to provide 5V max. Qualcomm Quickcharge violates the USB-A specification, so only other devices that are designed to violate the specification and thus be compatible with QC will charge faster.

  • Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck?
  • No, my Framework 13 is integrated only but it is still significantly more powerful than the Steam Deck. I haven't really done any ML stuff so couldn't tell you.

    Mine was quoted as Q4 2023 when I ordered it and shipped by the end of November.

  • Any thoughts on Aylsworth?
  • So on their site they are pretty clear about the Kopperkant being made in China, but specifically say the Drakkant Stainless and Ti are made in the US. I will take a look though!

  • Any thoughts on Aylsworth?

    I'm specifically considering the Drakkant Ti. I have a Rockwell 6S but I want something a bit more aggressive. Does anyone have a razor from them? Is it solid quality?

    Google explains Gemini’s “embarrassing” AI pictures of diverse Nazis
  • The best part is that this was added in response to people complaining about it not generating diverse enough people, so they made it randomly add different races to person requests that don't specify race.

  • Is there an easy way to trick games into scaling?
  • For any one who finds it in the future - I just set a Steam launch with gamescope set to half my native resolution, fullscreen and enabled fsr. Games run at the weird 1128x752 and FSR makes it look even better but I get great performance.

    New album is fantastic as a whole, but this song is amazing.

    Why do AI image generators have a stroke when they try to generate text?

    We can generate AI images, we can generate AI text, but text in an image is a no go?

    Is there any issue with switching frequently between Wayland and X11?

    I can't imagine there is but I'm wondering if I am missing something. I use GeForce Now and unfortunately it does not work in Plasma Wayland (issues with input redirection). Is there any problem with logging into an X11 session whenever I want to use that but using Wayland generally?

    Instrumental Christmas Albums?

    Here is what I've compiled so far:

    • Allen & Bright - Christmas Vol. 1 and 2
    • Trevor Gordon Hall - Let Your Heart Be Light
    • Tommy Emmanuel - All I Want For Christmas
    • Tommy Emmanuel - Christmas Memories

    Any other recommendations?

    Who are your favorite independent metal artists?

    While even the artists signed to the major label imprints aren't as popular as some other genres, today's ease of distribution means we have some great independent artists to listen to. What are some you'd like more people to know about?

    • Cauldron Born a cool solo project that puts out some consistently solid US Power Metal. He currently has a new album on indiegogo. Some of his earlier stuff can be a bit rough around the edges so try his newer albums if you're interested.
    • Osyron is a very cool progressive metal group. At least one of the members is active on Reddit.

    Any quirks to be aware of with Linux on the AMD Framework 13?

    My laptop is arriving on Monday and I haven't picked a distro yet. I currently use Debian but that is on older hardware. I'm experienced with a lot of distros so I'm a bit flexible here. I was thinking openSUSE for the sake of the latest and greatest AMD drivers, but I do see that Fedora is officially supported while openSUSE is not. Are there any hardware compatibility issues I could expect?

    FATE is on sale until November 28th

    If you aren't familiar, it was Travis Baldtree's ARPG before he worked on Torchlight. You can recognize some of the concepts there like utility pets. It also has a cool loop that you "retire" your character to pass on bonuses to your new character - increased fame and being able to hand down an item that gets upgraded every time you do so.

    I'm not saying it beats out Last Epoch or Grim Dawn, but it's a solid old-school dungeon romp.

    Am I going off the deep end by considering Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite?

    I recently switched my server over to running Plex and Home Assistant in Docker. I like the ease of transfer (just move my compose file and one directory where I have stored all the configs and I'm set) as well as the simple permissions management to give access to directories.

    I have only used Fedora briefly, but I am considering it instead of my usual openSUSE because it is "officially supported" for the Framework 13 I have on order. I saw the immutable versions and the idea seems cool though I don't really understand what new I would need to learn or really what benefits it would have.

    Is the concept overkill for a single-user laptop?

    Is there a decent open source or otherwise free scanner app?

    A lot of them seem to be "free" with an optional subscription.

    What are your favorite Halloween events?

    I was always a huge fan of the Guild Wars Mad King event. GW2 took it to the next level with a lot of fun activities.

    What games have seasonal events that you enjoy?

    Taking to a developer about a game that is stuck in maintenance...

    Made me realize they don't understand GFN at all.

    This is Neocore who developed Warhammer 40k Inquisitor and The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. Van Helsing has been offline for almost a year and the Inquisitor Prophecy launcher is offline (you can still play all the content through the Martyr launcher). I reached out to their support on Discord.

    They first responded with "you can't play unsupported games on GeForce Now." Well, yeah, it's supported. Then they said "because it no longer supports the online mode you won't have it on GFN." Obviously BS. Then they went to "well it used to be supported but isn't anymore. We'll see if we can get them to update the listing to make this clearer." I explained that it's supported because they opted in - it's just broken. Then they finally said they won't be able to get anyone to look at it because the game is not supported anymore.

    It's baffling that this is the response from a company that has opted all their games into the service.

    Is blocking broken in Hellfire?

    I played a ton of Diablo when it first came out, but never really got into Hellfire. I set it up on devilutionx on my phone and I've been playing a warrior. I keep getting "block locked." I remember that being an issue in Diablo, but not at all to the extent I'm seeing here. As few as three enemies can keep me locked up to where I can't fight back.

    Am I misremembering Diablo, or are things worse in Hellfire for Warriors?
