You pirate games because Steam opens a window?

EDIT: Seems you’re starting to resort to cheap attacks on me because you got downvoted

From my understanding, with Nvidia there’s no shared memory on Linux, so when your VRAM maxes out, you get a crash or your game will run in single digit frames.

There is nothing to be done except lowering textures and other VRAM intensive settings, and hoping that one day Nvidia fixes the no shared memory issue.

(I’m assuming you have a Nvidia GPU solely based on those low VRAM numbers)

As far as I know, there’s no shared memory with Nvidia on Linux so that last flag might not do anything

The fixes were just for save importing though, but I’ve had better luck running it with GE rather than Valve’s on my AMD card nonetheless

Because effectively nothing is changing. Android is still open source, OEMs still have access to the internal branches for early development, custom ROMs will still have to wait until the new version is released to source entirely.

There are many other apps, like Signal, that have the same development approach but no one complained about it. It’s just a lot of misinformation due to misunderstandings with these headlines.

Simply having a pull tab like most phones or that electrical release like Apple does is enough to satisfy the EU regulation. The batteries need to be easily replaceable without special tools by repair shops (first and third party, certified or not).

The only uninformed here is you, since SteamOS does not identify itself as Arch, but rather as SteamOS Holo and it does show separately from Arch on the stats.

On the other hand, my old S22U that I charged multiple times a day with a 9W wireless charger everyday since I got it, without any of these silly 80% limits, had 95% capacity after 2 years and 4 months, according to a 3 month average on AccuBattery.

I have used fast charging a lot as well, considering that phone would barely last half a day due to the SoC

These new security features do not (and can not) apply to apps distributed outside of the Play Store, so it won’t compromise third party stores whatsoever.

If you root, unlock your bootloader or run a custom ROM, nothing changes since your device does not pass the integrity checks and Google already had a feature for developers to block apps from running on those devices.

These new additions are also entirely irrelevant for apps distributed outside of the Play Store since Play Integrity requires the app being downloaded from the store.

Also, all of these additions are entirely up to the developers to add, Google is not forcing anything.

For apps installed through the play store, developers have the option to add these “layers of security” with Play Integrity. The one the screenshot shows keeps you from opening and using an app if specific apps are detected to be running in the background (like a bank app blocking you from using it if a screen recorder app is running on the background). Another feature is apps blocking them from running if they weren’t installed from the play store (like side loading a bank app and it prevents it from running because it might be malicious).

For apps distributed outside of the Play Store (and for people side loading them) and those running rooted/bootloader unlocked devices nothing changes, as Play Integrity is no longer in effect in those cases

In my experience, doesn’t matter. You can use lutris/bottles or install on a windows pc and copy files to the Deck and it’ll work, the distro is irrelevant in this case.

I stick with Steam OS because I don’t see any real world benefits of changing to another distro

You do know screenshots exist

App doesn’t allow screenshots or screen sharing as part of the security features

Also, don’t do mobile banking

Many times that’s simply impossible depending on the bank, and it’s wholly inconvenient for most people. Security wise, it also depends on way too many variables, so you can’t just tell people to not do it and don’t elaborate further.

As usual, we are treated like third class citizens, but the community always comes to help: https://github.com/Martichou/rquickshare

They are way better, faster without sacrificing precision/security. With an ultrasonic sensor I can simply tap the screen and it’s unlocked, where with the optical ones I’d need to press for a second before unlocking, sometimes having to shuffle my finger around.

How is atomic less confusing? Immutable means that something doesn’t change, atomic means that it’s the size of an atom or has nuclear energy

EDIT: I’ve learned that some people are overly pedantic about the meaning and practical use of the word “immutable”, so much so that they decided to create a bigger confusion by giving another word a completely different and exclusive meaning

You still have to install WhatsApp though, since it requires activity on your account (on the app) every 14 days.

Please! I think that all mobile matrix clients are either bad or just somewhat good with many caveats. For me, Element X develops at a glacial pace and it seems the philosophy is to just make a minimal client and nothing more. FluffyChat is too opinionated and rough everywhere for me. Beeper is by far the best client however you’re limited to a beeper account.

We really need more clients that aren’t just Element or trying to reinvent the wheel.

Pixel 9 has an ultrasonic sensor
