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.

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.

Dremor , 11 days ago

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.

Dremor Mod , 10 days ago

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.

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

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

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.

Dremor , 20 days ago

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.

Dremor , 20 days ago

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.

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.

I agree that Ukraine deserves way more than Israel, but there is some important difference that explains why there is no such defense possible.

First, there is a lot of friendly countries between Israel and Iran, which allowed the interception of the missiles in their airspace. As such, aircraft could intercept those missiles with close to no risks. Is it possible in Urkraine ? No it isn't.

Secondly Israel and Russia or both nuclear power, which Ukraine and Iran aren't. Intercepting those missile make US and allies cobelligerent, which they seem ok with as Iran cannot meaningfully hurt them. It the case of Russia, it will mean having a war between two nuclear "superpower", which mean a possible escalation toward whipping humanity, or at least a good chunk of it, from earth. No one can afford that.

Great, like that the world, nukes included, would be ruled by the strongest, which often aren't the brightest of us.

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.

Dremor Mod , 1 month ago

I have to agree. The choice is terrible.

I know "Top X Games" is a kind of article we grew to hate due to how they often are just ripoffs, straight copy-paste from the latest AAA release Steam pages or press releases (and thus falling under Rule 4, no low-effort posts), but this don't seem to be the case here.
The games are mostly new indie games, except Sea of Thieves, and some of them looks quite interesting to me.

The post is allowed for the time being, while we discuss about its fate on the mods Discord.

You could try the Flatpak version.
At least your OS will be clean, and the only 32-bits parts will be inside the flatpak runtimes.

Dremor Mod , 1 month ago

After many years playing on the Flatpaked Steam, I'm yet to see any problem.

Dremor Mod , 1 month ago

Maybe not. Like every new format, Flatpak probably had some rough edges at first, and a software as complex as Steam must have been a nightmare to convert. It was probably broken at first, but it was probably enough for some to consider it as unredeemable.

Ukrainian army seem to love to use ironic means of destruction. Like use a GPS guided shell to destroy GOS jammers, or the like. So use a kamikaze UAV to target a kamikaze UAV production plant isn't that far fetched.

Please stay civil (rule 2).

If you come across such comment, please reply to them instead of OP, maybe you will start some interesting debate instead of just try to stir conflict in the community.

Please stay civil (rule 2)

Dremor Mod , 1 month ago

Still out of context.

If this was a reply calling on someone baselessly criticizing the game, I'd allow it, but OP just posted an article that doesn't even criticize the game.

Still, thank you for your edit.

Dremor Mod , 1 month ago

If you find one that seen interesting to debate upon, reply to it.
For the other, don't waste your time on them and just downvote.

The vote system was made for this reason.

Kotaku.
The Washington Post.

I won't say that they are perfect, and are center-left leaning, but at least they enjoy a better credibility ratting than BiC.

I can't say for Eurogamer, I have no data. Feel free to ask any reputable fact checking website for a check.

I'm only pointing that for potentials reader to know that the website isn't known to be factual and do not have a very high credibility. I'd do the same for any left leaning website.

Dremor Mod , 2 months ago

If MBFC would rate all right leaning media source as not factual/not trustworthy, yes, it would be a clear sign that it would be biased itself. But it doesn't.

Example of right leaning media with good rating : https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-signal/
Example of left leaning media with bad rating : https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/change-org/

My work here as a moderator is to give context. I won't ask of our reader to believe or not the article, just to take the time to do their own research in order to complement the article, which may intentionally not show the whole story.
