Its been over 20 years, lol f-stab ain’t going anywhere.
This breaks down for professionals that are self taught though. For example, I still to this day, say in my head "F-Stab " for fstab, instead of “F-S-Tab”, and various other terms I learned when i was learning linux myself when I was 13. Didn’t understand at the time that it stood for filesystems table, so f-stab is how I pronounced the term in my head. In the UEFI case, I’ll just pronounce each letter at a time, U-E-F-I.
19·3 months agoI have to do this on new systems now just to get a Ctrl key back…
Here are the steps I did to remap “copilot key” to right control in Ubuntu 22.04.
- Install keyd from ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keyd-team/ppasudo apt updatesudo apt install keyd
- Create default config file,
/etc/keyd/default.conf, with contents
[ids]
[main]
leftshift+leftmeta+f23 = rightcontrol
- Reload config:
sudo keyd reloadorsudo systemctl restart keyd- I had to reboot in this step because a lock file was blocking
keydto reload.
- I had to reboot in this step because a lock file was blocking
(For
keydinstalled via PPA, the binary may be calledkeyd.rvaiya, but the systemd unit is alwayskeyd.)- Install keyd from ppa
5·3 months agoFine for my needs, I don’t play FPSs or platformers though, just single player RPG’s and open world games.
Moonlight seems to use 10mb/s to stream, so its not very demanding on internet either.
Its fantastic to play stuff remotely though, with sunshine/moonlight. I can VPN into my home network from coffee shops, hotels, etc and play much stronger titles streamed from my PC.
101·4 months agoI understand this, but now they get to double dip, have a high price, AND charge more. Instead of having all the pricing roled into the final price, they get to say $65/m *
- with additional taxes and fees
They also get to invent new situations to charge you for. Instead of just, “our service costs this much” they now get to add additional things like:
- Hail damage recovery fee
- Flood damage recovery fee
Who knows if they ever actually have to relocate a building like they told me. I’d like to see some figures in how often that actually happens, and how much it costs them as a company.
Centurylink added a fun one for me, a building relocation fee, I shit you not.
They mailed me paperwork stating how they need to charge an extra fee for when roads expand or move, and they have to relocate a building. So instead of just setting aside some of their profit for the few times they’ll need to move a fucking building, now I get to specifically pay for this occurrence.
Agreeing with you here, they probably had the last line there to save themselves money, as historically tech items lose value over time, so if you bought an ssd for $200, and 6 months later needed to be replaced or refunded, historically they can realistically offer you $150, as that would traditionally be the new market value after 6 months, but in today’s timeline, now its apparently worth $900 and they probably don’t want to pay that.
Samsung hurt itself in confusion
Because this is the world we live in now, did anyone check if there’s a poly market or some gambling platform bet of when its getting released? That would 100% explain this behavior if someone could become a millionaire by getting inside info and placing a guarenteed bet.
16·5 months agoI feel like travel and food shows fit this nicely. Very entertaining, bit also very educational about other areas, cultures, histories, foods, traditions, etc.
I haven’t watched too much content like this, but “Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown” really got me hooked for a while, he did a great job with that show. And I feel like we need more knowledge and understanding about other cultures, now more than ever.

–Edit–
Actually, I don’t remember which one I watched No Reservations, or Parts Unknown, both seem good though.
Thats because we basically gave our rail system to corporations so they only maintain them enough to not have shipments derailed, and they get priority during interchanges when consumer trains are approaching the same intersection tracks. I’ve taken trains where we had to wait an hour for freight trains to roll through before we got our chance to go.
Maybe there’s other points in the video, but I didn’t have time to watch it.
This is the allure for me as well. The trackpads make it so I can play any style game I want on the handheld, which is amazing. I’m playing emulated console games, modern steam games and games from the 90’s early 2000’s that were designed with mouse and keyboard in mind. I wouldn’t want a faster device without the trackpads, as it would cut down on a lot od games i’d like to play.
There’s no way you’re gonna be able to play Age of Empires, or similar games with joysticks, thats for sure.
1·5 months agoI usually check ebay when i need electronics batteries, but you have a chance of a seller selling knock off batteries that as you said, could be sketchy. I’ve personally never had an issue, but YMMV.
I do wonder if they’re trolling, because their attitude could apply equally to the person behind them on a flight.
“My comfort shouldn’t be impeded because it might inconvenience the person in front of me.”
PSA for anyone using a laptop during flights, the tray tables do not change angle or height when the person in front of you puts their seat all the way back. I almost had someone break my laptop screen a few years ago because the top of my screen got caught under the exposed edges where my tray table would fold up into, as the seat back came angling down towards my tray table. I was quick enough to be able to pull my laptop towards me and remove the screen before the full force was applied to the screen housing.
As a steamdeck owner, the ability to use the trackpads to play old keyboard/mouse games without having to sit at a computer, is great. I’ve been playing a lot of Dungeon Siege and Baldur’s Gate 2, released in early 2000’s with mouse/keyboard in mind, and they both work flawlessly.
The new Steam Controller is a welcome addition because the old Steam Controller doesn’t have the same button and joystick layout, plus its missing buttons, compared to the steamdeck. So when you want to dock the steamdeck and play your favorite first person shooter for example, and game on the TV in the livingroom, there’s no controller until now that matches what you’ve become accustomed to expecting with muscle memory, from playing on the steam deck.
Right wing propaganda is why they think they’re banned. I replaced some bulbs with LEDs a few years ago and someone I knew, their right wing father wanted to keep all my old bulbs, because they were convinced it would be impossible to buy them again so he was just hoarding as many as he could, because “the LED ones are designed to fail, and the incandescent style are banned.”
I had to click back to the main github project page, vs the linked release page, but it did finally cough up this info:
“DroidDeck brings the SteamOS experience to Android: Valve’s Steam client in Big Picture on your Adreno handheld, with Windows games through Valve’s ARM64 Proton.”
