I'm using bazzite so super interested in how streaming goes for you. I've used wivrn and envision in the past but it looks like it will need fixes to work https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn/issues/1114

We hate AI because it's everything we hate

It seems like you are implying that models will follow Moore's law, but as someone working on "agents" I don't see that happening. There is a limitation with how much can be encoded and still produce things that look like coherent responses. Where we would get reliable exponential amounts of training data is another issue. We may get "ai" but it isn't going to be based on llms

Valve launches the Steam Next Fest right on Windows 10 EOL because they hate me, specifically (also, distro-picking).
Bazzite for the past two days has not been as easy as everyone makes of sound, and I say this as a software engineer that works with Linux 5 days a week. Some of the UI choices are just weird and VR support with Nvidia is so horrible I may end up having to dual boot.

Otoh, a family member gave me their "broken" Asus zenbook, I replaced the battery and its been running great for a few years now. I'm at the point where I need to replace the battery again(and maybe ditch Ubuntu, I always regret installing it)

Tired of expensive disposable batteries and rechargeable AA suck. So I made a 10k mAh pack for my deadbolt.
Does anyone know of rechargeable lithium that can report proportional voltage to emulate what alkaline does? I really want to use rechargeable for everything but not knowing any estimate of when they will die is a huge downside for something like a lock

This, I waited too long to start doing them. Also save keys for night raids, they are wasted otherwise. Blueprint farming is all about maximizing containers opened per minute, open everything and move quick

VR has been broken for at least this long, you can't use vrr with 144hz, the list goes on at least with linux. Been hoping AMD matches them for hardware next gen (and gets hdr on linux)

Not that tbjs necessarily helps you but the battery in switch pro contolers was really easy to replace, spent like 5$ getting new ones from Ali express. Maybe try looking it up?

Bazzite is atomic fedora with steam and other stuff installed. If you like it try fedora with a KDE desktop otherwise mint should be good too. If you want a non atomic gaming distro I hear cachy is great but that is arch based not fedora. I personally use bazzite for my home theatre/gaming rig and it has been fantastic

Yeah sorry. I accidentally refreshed the page 5 minutes early and realized the buy button was working, my serial number ends in 00067 😬. Good luck getting one!

Security breach has been great for me. After expedition I'll respec as soon as I have enough points to clear it. I've found tons of tempest using it. More than I've been able to lose in friendly lobbies so not having the BP hasn't been a problem. Its a little harder since the last update, they seem to have randomized the locations a bit more but relearning the locations its getting more consistent again.

Also there are specific locations that drop certain types of blueprints more, the breach room in reinforced reception being for augments. I loaded into bluegate probably 1-2 hundred times with just stims to run straight there, loot the room and the medical room near it. If you get a blueprint drop it in your safe pocket and surrender, if nothing surrender and go again asap. I got to the point where if I found some other good stuff I would extract straight away, but surrendering is the fastest to farm. You also get really good a dodging arc since you have no weapon 🤣. I would find an augment every 2-3 runs. I eventually found survivor in the medical room and stopped doing it all together.

I think in round crafting is only great for free kits, otherwise I never use it. I hardly ever have room for the base materials anyway. You can use the power cells on their own for half the charge

I've also been using bazzite with an nvidia card since the windows 10 death, my only callout would be VR is utterly broken for me. This isn't a Bazzite problem, its due to nvidia drivers and impacts all Linux when using a wired headset (wireless is fine). I'm currently looking for a second cheap nvme to install windows to for just VR. If you have an AMD card everything works great. I've spent hours tinkering, switching to Monado and Xrizer from steamvr while tinkering with environment variables. Best I can do is get HL playable on 90hz with my index and a 3090. On windows I was doing 120hz pretty easily. Heres to hoping AMD really steps up next gen because I don't want to support nvidia.
