Frustrated users crowdfund a $2,000 fix for Lenovo Legion ‘speakers not working properly’ error — bug bounty posted, coder wins the cash by fixing complex audio annoyance in just a month

I'm a little perplexed by this I have a bash script that fixes this (I have this laptop) I never needed to compile a kernel or follow all these steps. Ran the script once and it just works, across all updates no issues yet...

Update: Realised this is for the 7i 10th gen, I have 9i 9th gen (nevermind my ramblings)

Microsoft now offering chance to win $1 million or a car if you switch to Edge

Reply in thread

I'm gonna go out on a limb and play the devil's advocate. Edge actually makes a lot of optimisations and improvements that are merged into upstream chrome. While Microsoft is the shady corp that is forcing the ai garbage and data collection, the Devs are actually very competent.

Edge has one huge benefit which causes me to use it across Windows, Linux and even android and that is extension support on all even mobile. No other chrome based android browser has mobile extensions and a competent or seamless sync both figured out. I like being able to check something on my phone and seamlessly pick it up on any other device.

I like Vivaldi's workflow but they have yet to add mobile extensions.

first time using linux, how screwed am I?

Highly recommend this for you OP. This would be the easiest course of action. Do you have to use Konsole, yes but for a few commands and once done you can do everything you need via GUI and not have to touch shell again for daily operations.

Catchy have a very powerful script that attaches all their pacman.conf (list of places where arch will look for it's software)

Here's a link to the section Adding CachyOS to existing Arch Install

Once that's done you only need one more command

sudo pacman -Syu octopi

Octopi will let you manage all your software and kernel updates without having to touch terminal or having to use flatpaks.

I would recommend packages:

  • cachyos-hooks
  • linux-cachyos
  • linux-cachyos-header
  • cachyos-kernel-manager
  • proton-cachyos
  • wine-cachyos
  • cachyos-gaming-meta

This will have you fully set up and ready to seamlessly game on your machine without having to reinstall a OS.

Indian police use water cannon at new protest over test paper leaks

Reply in thread

This is clearly just another symptom of the state of the world. All these far right cronies tying to further polarise a society that's already extremely divided.

In india specifically Civil service entrance integrity is eroding the trust of institutional youth, faster than state governments could ever do a 180 or repair it through concession tactics, like using fucking water cannons when clear corruption is protested.

This specific exam took place in 2025. This protest is delayed action by over 1.5 years especially since 300,000 candidates competed for just 2,000 positions (thats less than a single percent of acceptance) to then have results leaked, it's a systemic problem.

The part where I extrapolate is this is just another example of the Bottle-necked meritocracy crumbling because people are sick of watching idiots ruin the world.

TLDR: News is fatiguing, I rarely see positive world news now, this is just another example.
