I'm thinking of buying an AYN Thor soon but having second thoughts about it because I can't find any information about making instant save states when running programs like Citra. Can anyone confirm that the console supports save states like most desktop PC emulators can? Thanks.

Imagine if the US' forefathers were told there'd be magic lanterns that could be used to see through walls one day when they were writing the 4th Amendment. I figure a lot of our surveillance hell scape could have been avoided.

I'm looking to buy a couple of ONVIF/RTSP IP cameras to hook up as part of a home security system and could use some help with the programming side of things. I've looked around a couple of Youtube guides but they all seem to skip over some minor but important details needed to install and run an open source NVR.

Could someone point me out to an online guide that's easy to follow? I'm still very much a beginner with Linux and don't know much about how to set up Docker or HomeLab as part of the NVR's installation process. I also need to remotely access my video feeds when not at home and would like to ask for some guidance on how one can go about setting that up on both the NVR and phone side.

Below is a diagram of the planned setup. Any information would be appreciated!

A lot of older PC games can run just fine on modern phone hardware. I'd buy a SteamOS version of a phone that has some modular or built-in set of buttons and analog sticks. I don't know how the app ecosystem would work for sensitive things like banking but it's mostly a minor issue for me.

I just downloaded FreeCAD to build a simple part and was following this tutorial to learn my way through the basics. Unfortunately I got stuck pretty quickly around the 2:38 part where I need to select a plane to start a drawing in. For some reason, the coordinate system planes don't show up even if the eye icon is lit up. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Upon posting a screenshot here, I think my CachyOS KDE theme might have something to do with the display as I view a mostly blank white screen while the screenshot is showing black for some reason. I've already tried changing the theme under Preferences but it seemed to make things worse, with some parts of the Start tab being unreadable.

EDIT: I should also point out that the FreeCAD client was downloaded via the CachyOS Package Manager. I heard sometimes using software from Flatpaks and other similar sources clashes with system themes. Should I use a different installation method?

How it's supposed to look like:

How my setup looks like:

How can I make a desktop shortcut of the two highlighted shell files (forge.sh and forge-adventure.sh)? Copying and pasting doesn't work since the filepath isn't brought over with them. I've tried using Menu Editor but can't find a decent guide on setting it up.

Prices have inflated so much over the past 10 years that a $20 bill buys as much as $5 did back then.

I'm trying to install either a .deb or .rpm driver for a Canon MF212w printer. Unfortunately since CachyOS is an Arch-based OS it lacks a straightforward way to go with the installation. I checked out a few different tutorials on Youtube but they all basically say to not do it their way since it could work but at the cost of messing up some dependencies. Is there a safe way to install either version of this program without damaging any other files or directories?

Hi all. I'm trying out Cachy for the first time and was testing an old game on Steam (Anomaly Warzone Earth). The game went full screen but was stuck in a loading loop where I couldn't Alt+tab or Alt+F4 my way out of. The OS was still responsive and I could open up a terminal but as soon as I did, the game's loading screen would block my view. Is there a way to force minimize or kill a program when it's stuck in full screen? I heard xkill could work but I don't see how to use it when I can't even see the terminal.

I just finished a preliminary interview for a medium sized engineering company. The interviewer was impressed with my background and asked to proceed with my candidacy but wanted four additional rounds of interviews and a 30 minute technical presentation about how I solved a problem. I turned them down and said I don't work for free, the amount of time it would take to gather my notes and thoughts on a slide deck would be too much. She quickly soured and we ended the call soon after. I feel like I dodged a bullet going through a gauntlet of work for the high chance of ending up with nothing.

What are Lemmy's thoughts on preparing presentations for lengthy job interview processes? Would you have considered going through with it?

Just finished installing the under frame. I'm so reluctant to add on the armor and have been taking weeks having the figure sit in the back of the kitchen table while admiring the details when eating.

What reliable bow string would you recommend for a 62 inch recurve takedown bow? The string that came with my starter kit frayed by the third session and I've heard some strings can last up to three years with regular use if properly maintained.

The vambrace design is still a WIP though.

Hello, I recently bought an old Lenovo Thinkpad X130e (ca. 2012) and tried installing Linux Mint ver. 22.1 Xfce edition into the laptop's HDD and received a "Linux Mint unable to install GRUB in dev/sda" error that only let me boot into a GRUB terminal after rebooting. Is there an easily available installation guide/manual for this laptop I could take a look at? I've tried adjusting the BIOS' UEFI/boot settings but haven't had any luck. I figure there's a way to manually configure the HDD to have a bootable partition during installation but I'm not sure what I'm doing exactly.

UPDATE: Finally fixed the issue. I rebooted on the USB stick iso after the latest GRUB install error and ran the Boot Repair utility from the start menu. It automatically fixed the issue and was able to successfully boot without the USB. Hopefully this helps someone if they run into a similar issue later.

Back in the 80's, Atari had a monopoly of games and charged absurd amounts of money for titles that pretty much had no quality control. The cost of each cartridge would easily go over $100 in today's money and gamers began to pull back on purchasing anything. This eventually culminated in the infamous E.T. movie tie in that led to pallets of its unsold cartridges ending up in a landfill and crashing the industry.

Now that Nintendo's signaled to the rest of the industry it's okay to sell digital titles at $80 each, how soon do you see gamers collectively hold back on their purchases that will eventually collapse the AAA market? Will the current trade war play a role in the hardware side of things with the collapse? Will all major companies save Nintendo suffer the downturn?
