Recently ran into an issue with Endeavour OS where the built in printer program would give errors when trying to add my network ecotank printer.
Tried using cups terminal and it worked the first time, and is still working weeks later.
So some of the GUI printer apps that distros ship with have issues apparently, but I don't know the extent of it.
I think some people sabotage relationships for the same reason they throw video games. They have fears/suspicions that it's going to not work out, and rather than be a victim they want to have some control over the outcome. A loss or failed relationship doesn't hurt as bad if they caused it to end the way it did.
However in your case, it sounds more like a fear of something different. It's a lot easier to keep things like they are, when a relationship gets too serious or life impacting it can be easy to be scared of the change, and instead subconsciously decide you want to keep things like they are.
There's a big difference between doom scrolling and education.
These scores are lower than expected, possibly due to issues with the console port.
I can vouch for the PC version being incredible though, I highly recommend it.
I think you could already claim that if you wanted to.
The missing context here (I think) is that California passed a law saying that digital storefronts (like steam and gog) can't say things like "buy game" because you aren't actually gaining ownership of the game, but instead just buying a license to access it. Some people were questioning if this law should apply to gog since their games are drm free and can be freely installed on any compatible devices once you download the installer.
That's true. The drm-free steam games can usually have their install directories moved around freely between computers, but it's true there isn't an installer program provided outside of the steam client itself.
Probably not, sounds like it would apply to all digital store fronts. And a game from GOG could still become unavailable if it relies on game servers that are taken down.
If they did make an exception for stores like GOG, then some steam games would theoretically also be exempt because they don't use steam drm. So you could have some guys labelled "buy" and others labelled "get".
Part of what was weird is I tried paying with Google Play credit, and it wouldn't take that either.
From what I've read, it can go either way (note: not a lawyer).
Arbitration is easier for people to seek compensation, but it usually prevents any significant damages and doesn't set a legal precedent that others can use to easily get compensation.
Court cases are harder to start and generally require a lawyer, but if you win you can get significant damages and it can set a legal precedent.
So it's usually best for the consumer to have a choice on how to pursue issues. I have seen a lot of companies lately update their terms for arbitration only though, so this is at contrast with how most companies I've seen are handling things.
I'm not a lawyer: Many companies are updating their terms requiring that disputes are settled through arbitration, usually where a 3rd party selected by the company rules on the disagreement.
It's meant to protect them from excessive lawsuit payments that can happen when you go to court.
Valve went the other way, and is saying that all legal disputes should go to court instead.
After a short Beta period I covered previously, the EmuDeck team have released EmuDeck 2.3 that comes with the big user interface overhaul.
Huh, google play is refusing to sell it to me. Getting a [OR- FGEMF-20] error code regardless of payment method.
Edit: searching I came across a reddit thread, the post is older but all the comments are people complaining about this issue with trying to buy Balatro today.
Edit2: working now for me, about 4 hours after the game went live
Came across a truck in a southern town covered in stickers of anime traps (some were borderline hentai), gay pride stickers, and a whole lot of gun stickers. They had a bumper sticker that said something like "the only thing straight about me is my shooting".
On the bright side it makes it easier to identify user accounts that are actually just chatgpt bots. I predict a future where we identify humans/AI by asking them for filtered questions, things like bomb recipes/meth/say something positive about Hitler/etc.
People are buying it, unable to play because of PlayStation account requirement (the PlayStation servers are having issues and not letting people log in or create an account), and then leaving an angry review and refunding it.
Arms major advantage is efficiency while doing lighter workloads, which is kinda the antithesis of a gaming device would be.
That's important too for gaming devices. It's great the the steam deck can get 6-8 hours on low power games like Stardew Valley. A significant problem with many of the windows competitors is that they don't see significantly better battery life at low loads. The original ROG Ally gets about 1.5 hours in a game like Cyberpunk 2077, but only gets 2-2.5 hours in a game like Stardew Valley.
Also, does ARM still have better battery life when all of the machine code has to be translated from x86? That adds a not insubstantial amount of CPU overhead, which does hurt battery life.
No idea, and that's a pretty good question. The again some games run better on proton through Linux than they do on windows, so the performance overhead isn't that bad.
This would presumably let x86 windows games run on ARM hardware.
This is almost certainly meant for the next Valve VR headset, but ARM has so much better power efficiency than x86 that a future ARM based Deck would be a huge improvement to battery life.
Also see this tweet:
> VR games that have already secretly pushed Android ARM builds onto the Steam Store are ran via Waydroid (androidARM to LinuxARM)
> VR games that do not have an ARM build on Steam (windows x86) are being translated/emulated via ProtonARM and FEX
Edit: here's gamingonlinux coverage of this info, includes some more information
They added wifi with a extra circuit board hidden inside the calculator case. It's connected to the calculators communication port, and pretends to be another calculator. So they can use the calculator's built in "send" function to send variables/text/etc to the hidden card, which then uses it's internet connection to look up answers and send the results back.
Somehow forcing us to use a PlayStation account and having an unnecessary overlay that breaks the game for Linux users is supposed to get us to buy PlayStations. I'm not a Sony executive though so I'm not sure exactly on the details.
No unfortunately
God of War Ragnarök from Santa Monica Studio, Jetpack Interactive and PlayStation Publishing LLC has released on PC today and Valve put it quickly through verification for Steam Deck.
SteamDeckHQ has also posted a first look, and praises how well the game runs.
The game unfortunately does require a PlayStation network account.
The game has the same PlayStation overlay that's incompatible with Linux, but when playing on Steam Deck the overlay is automatically disabled. Desktop Linux players will need to use the SteamDeck=1 %command%
launch option to disable the overlay.
Here's a link to the game's store page
And here's a link to their X post with the animated Steam Deck art.
GTA Online may be playable on the Steam Deck again in the future, since it seems like Valve is working with Rockstar to possibly fix this.
Please mention whether you're on stable, beta, or a different update channel. There's a good chance most bugs on the stable update channel have been fixed already, so anyone on the beta update can let people know if the bug they're facing is already fixed.
Here's a fun one for you. What do you do when you're a game developer and your laptop dies? Use your Steam Deck to continue developing of course.
There's a lot of blog posts and news articles being written right now centred around Microsoft's plans for updates to Windows 11, and potential kernel changes, with some thinking this means big things for Linux gaming.
This is a counterpoint to this article posted here a few days ago.
Issues with kernel anti-cheat are the biggest barrier to linux gaming being able to play everything, so it's easy to get overly excited about changes to how windows implements it hoping for an improvement. However that last article was probably unrealistically positive about the changes, and this article probably has a much more realistic perspective on what the changes will actually mean.
The team in charge has already been working on this for 9–12 months.
He specifically cited bad battery life on the ROG Ally and Lenovo Go, saying that getting only one hour of battery life isn't enough. The Steam Deck (especially the OLED model) does a lot better battery wise, but improving power efficiency should really help with any games that are maxing out the Deck's power.
Steam Deck™ is the most powerful, full-featured gaming handheld in the world.

A fresh small Steam Beta was released, and for those of you on Steam Deck who play non-Steam games and emulators it's going to be a useful one.
For fans of emulation on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux, you might want to give the new EmuDeck 2.3 Beta a spin.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions got a new update today that added in some missing options on Steam Deck and more!
Last Epoch from Eleventh Hour Games is set for a big v1.1 update with The Imperial Uprising event arriving on September 19th. This will also bump it up to Steam Deck Verified.
Attack of the clones! Well, sort of anyway. We have Bazzite, ChimeraOS, HoloISO and now SteamFork as well. There's so much choice to get Linux on your handhelds.
This is different from Bazzite and some of the other SteamOS similar operating systems by being as close to vanilla SteamOS as possible.
According to the devs:
> It's a SteamOS based distribution that is intended to be as close to 1:1 compatible with upstream SteamOS as possible while making changes to support a wider range of hardware. It originated as a fork of HoloISO but it has been majorly overhauled to eliminate things like post-copy operations (as much as possible), introduce our own signed package repositories, add an automated release process, and provide many bug fixes and refinements. The focus has largely been on handheld gaming consoles, but it's in use on a variety of AMD based mini PCs as well.
