Doctors Remove Woman’s Brain Implant Against Her Will

Reply in thread

As much as I share this sentiment in general, in this case its probably more likely that this has something to with liability if something goes wrong with the implant. And I would bet the company never released the schematics and code so that aint helpin.

Could prob be solved if implants would be required to be open source so that third party servicing could happen.

Has anyone got KDE Plasma 6 - Wayland running on Arch using an NVIDIA GPU?

Since you want an arch based dostro, i can highly recommend EndevourOS. Its comes with an easy to use installer, many desktop env options and a few quality of life tools like a comandline tool (nvidia-inst) to install nvidia drivers. And if you choose KDE Plasma in the installer, it will default to wayland.

AMD is still by far the better gpu choice for linux, but since explicit sync support is now in the 555 nvidia driver and kde plasma 6.1, most problems that nvidia had (i had) with wayland have seemingly just vanished. So no need to imeadiatly buy a new gpu.

Its better now than it ever was. Jellyfin devs added the Media Segments api and now the plugin only provides these segments and jellyfin does the rest. Every user can set for themselve what they want to do with these (autoskip, display skip button, ...).

I dont know about Gnome, but kde plasma "should" run and be usable with 1GB ram. At least ive seen some posts about people doing it. I think at minimum you would need to customize your ram related kernel parameters like swappiness, the watermark scale factor (kernel memory threshold for caching) and stuff like that. But i cant say ive ever run such a small system with a DE.

Weird visual glitch on KDE

Oh, it seems I totally forgot to add that it is an Nvidia RTX 4080 (fixed that). And the drivers are the latest in the Arch repos. But it happened with previous versions too. The monitors are connected via Display cable, and switching / reseating those was one of the first things I tried. If it is a hardware failure, wouldn't it happen all the time, or at least not under so specific circumstances? I play other games like Red Dead Redemption 2 that similarly tax my GPU, but never noticed anything like this.

Just a strange thought my freakish brain churned up based on the conspicuous absence of symbiote pouches on the Hak'tyl in 7x10 "Birthright"...

Thanks for that image..... But i was always kind of hazy about the whole process. My best understanding is that upon reaching puberty the imune system of a jaffa shuts down. Then the pouch is cut and the symbiont implanted who keeps the imune system going and keeps the pouch open. If tretonin was used instead there would be no need to cut pouches.

My monitor has a refresh rate of 165hz, but i have never seen an option called overdrive. But i think it is more likely to be a software issue. I dont think the monitor could cause a window to become partially transparent (at least i cant imagine).

Best way to trigger automation with my return home?

If you use background location, or even just the geofencing in the location settings of the Homeassistant App then it wont work if you have Network location disabled in Android. After some research i found out that in newer versions of Android it wont use gps at all for background location. This tripped me up for some time since (i think) Grapheneos has this disabled by default (or i disabled it idk). After enabeling this again everything worked reliably.

I never updated a gpus firmeware and neither on the arch wiki or anywhere else did i find info about that. The only thing i know is that the propriatary Nvidia and the Nouveau drivers ship with firmware blobs for parts of the gpu. The tool "fwupdmgr" does detect my nvidia card but also has no updates for it.

But i think it is more likely software related. I cant imagine a hardware failure could make windows partially transparent (tho that could just be lacking imagination).
