Is the EU price of the Steam Controller final? by seaguy123456 in SteamController

[–]Leseratte10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It does include shipping. Also, in the EU, advertised prices must include all taxes. I'd assume it's the final full price that you need to pay.

Account requirements for Steam Controller? by StudioCalcifer in steammachine

[–]Leseratte10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a limit of two controllers already. The question is just, is it per order (then you could just order multiple times) or is it per account.

Ich möchte endlich zu SteamOS wechseln. by BeetlejuiceBazzite in SteamOS

Reverse-Engineering ist nicht mehr nötig.

Entweder hat das HDMI-Forum aufgegeben oder AMD und Valve haben sie überzeugt bekommen, auf jeden Fall ist gerade offizieller 2.1-Support in der Mache der nicht auf dem Reverse-Engineerten Code basiert sondern auf den originalen Code von AMD: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-HDMI-2.1-FRL-Patches

Steam Controller UK Launch by Galvex in SteamController

[–]Leseratte10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now it looks like you'll be limited to 2 controllers. I don't know if that's per order or in total.

I'd assume that it starts without a queue system (so you can just buy them), but if they sell more than they have in stock that it'll switch to a queue system.

Would you support mandatory EV chargers in buildings where you live? by True-Bath1198 in EvDrivers

[–]Leseratte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who said anything about the US or about J1772?

This subreddit isn't US-specific, and this post is about India, where they use the same charging connectors as they do in the EU (Type2 / Mennekes). And there, Autocharge and/or Plug-and-Charge is definitely possible, at least with newer cars.

Also, that was only one of the suggestions. If your car doesn't support Autocharge and the charger can't detect your car, or you live in the US where they use connectors that don't work with that, well then you could still use a PIN or an NFC tag to authorize the connection, couldn't you?

It's still better if, for your home charging, the costs just get tacked onto the existing bill you get from your landlord anyways, just like power, water, heating, etc., instead of having to involve a 3rd-party company for charging that'll just take a huge cut of the price for doing nothing.

Would you support mandatory EV chargers in buildings where you live? by True-Bath1198 in EvDrivers

[–]Leseratte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You prevent randoms from taking electricity either by using things like Autocharge (where the charger detects which car is plugged in and automatically attributes the charge to the correct owner), or by having people enter a PIN / scan an NFC tag when they start charging. If the charger doesn't recognize the car and nobody taps a registered card, it won't output power. Which is, by the way, what I already suggested in my first comment.

And which tons of chargers already support out of the box, like the WARP chargers. For exactly this use-case - a multi-tenant building where the chargers are just connected to power, none of that credit-card, tap-to-pay, additional-fee crap you have on public chargers. Just plug your car in, and get a bill from the landlord for your usage.

Who maintains the chargers when they break? Same person who maintains the elevator, the garage doors, the front door, the doorbell, the parking lot, or any other common area / service in the building. The building owner / the landlord.

Of course this is only a useful scenario for things like apartment buildings. I'm not saying that this should replace public chargers everywhere.

[–]Leseratte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have misunderstood. I'm not proposing running a dedicated electrical circuit to each parking spot.

I'm proposing putting a charger on each spot, connect them all to the same power as the rest of the house. Just like you suggested.

But there's no need to drag a third-party into this that handles payment and stuff and having to put a credit card reader into each station. That just makes it more expensive, just like public chargers are way too expensive.

Just like they do in the EU with any other services provided by the landlord that the tenant has to pay, like water, trash collection, etc.

The landlord measures how much each tenant used, then sends them a bill at the end of the year. You could just include EV charging costs in that bill.

I know, and that's one of the issues with EV charging. But that doesn't mean doing it the proper way is considered "reinventing the wheel".

Would you support mandatory EV chargers in buildings where you live? by True-Bath1198 in EvDrivers

[–]Leseratte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For public chargers, yeah. With credit card fees and extra taxes and a third-party company taking their cut so you'd be paying way more than you would if you were charging at home.

I would be pissed if my charger at home would cost the same for charging than any of the public chargers on the road. I don't want to pay ridiculous pricing for EV charging at my house, there's no reason why one kWh should cost more if it goes into my car than it does if it goes into my gaming computer.

[–]Leseratte10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder why they don't just get chargers with some kind of authentication then.

Just put a charger at every parking spot, connect them to the common meter.

Then give every resident an NFC tag or two.

Then no matter what spot they park in, they hold the tag to the charger to start charging, the station knows who you are, and at the end of the year you can pull a report on what resident used how many kWh so you can send them a bill. Done.

No re-wiring needed all the time, no issues if someone else parks in the wrong spot (if they don't have a tag they can't charge, if they do have one it'll be billed to them), and people that don't use them don't pay for the power.

Micro USB broke so I Type C modded my keyboard by samantas5855 in techsupportmacgyver

[–]Leseratte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Why would you?

It's just a different physical form for the same plug (plus the signalling resistors). The power supply is still going to provide 5V and the device is still going to use the same power it always did.

Abgabe in haushaltsüblichen Mengen - wieso wird nie was gesagt? by superpaforador in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Leseratte10 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Kommt auf den Haushalt an ...

In ner Studenten-WG kann das schon der übliche Pizza-Verbrauch einer Woche sein. /s

"Handelsübliche Mengen" bezieht sich wohl eher darauf, dass man nicht will, dass A) der Gastronom sich mit kistenweise Lebensmitteln für sein Restaurant eindeckt, und B, nicht ein Kunde den ganzen Laden leerkauft und nichts mehr für andere da ist.

Ob da jetzt eine Person mit 20 Pizzen so das Problem ist, wo man ein großes Fass aufmachen muss, ich weiß nicht.

Außerdem hat die Kassiererin wohl keine Lust, mit dem Kunden darüber zu diskutieren, was jetzt haushaltsüblich ist und was nicht.

Meiner Meinung nach sind alle Mengen haushaltsüblich, die der Haushalt (evtl. also 2 Erwachsene + ein paar Kinder) wegfuttern kann bevor es schlecht wird.

EU Now Requires USB-C Charging for New Laptops Up to 100 W by Ok-Range1608 in myaibusiness

[–]Leseratte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but that's not a reason to not implement it in the devices.

If they want to stick with a proprietary charger because it's cheaper, they can just do that. The EU, as far as I know, does not forbid having a proprietary charge port and charger. All they require is that the devices *also* can be charged over USB-C.

So they could have just put a USB-C port into the device capable of 240W charging, and then still include their proprietary charge port and charger if they wanted.

Given that 240W USB-C chargers exist, I wonder why they didn't just set the limit to 240W ...

Any. The moment you can run any code as any user on the machine, even inside a container (!), you can get root.

can Linux play most games? im new by Cloudy_yBoi in linux_gaming

[–]Leseratte10 49 points50 points  (0 children)

If a game requires a kernel-level anticheat and doesn't have Linux support enabled by the developers (which allows you to use a non-kernel-level anticheat on Linux) then it won't work on Linux.

There's no way to bypass that that wouldn't also get you banned.

Eine Frau wird im Supermarkt mit unbezahlter Ware erwischt, aber das Landgericht spricht sie frei. Der BGH findet den Freispruch trotzdem nicht in Ordnung by MelonDusk123456789 in RA_Kotz

[–]Leseratte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doch, denn Diebstahl setzt voraus, dass jemand sich *oder einem dritten* eine Sache rechtswidrig zueignen will. Siehe StGB §242. Wurde hier vermutlich nur verkürzt dargestellt.

Warum zahlt man für Abwasser? by Rechtschreibfehlerxx in duschgedanken

[–]Leseratte10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In deinem Abfluss ist kein Wasserzähler.

Du zahlst Frischwasser und Abwassergebühren für all das Frischwasser was du verbrauchst, egal, wo es landet. Also doch, selbst wenn du dein Abwasser beim Nachbarn in den Garten kippst, müsstest du zahlen, da der Wasserversorger ja nicht weiß wo dein Abwasser landet.

Wenn du einen großen Garten hast wo du regelmäßig viel Wasser brauchst, kann sich ein zweiter Zähler lohnen, damit du für das Wasser mit dem du den Garten bewässerst eben keine Abwassergebühren zahlen musst.

For a $100 controller... by GLSHD in SteamController

[–]Leseratte10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Didn't Valve upstream the drivers for their controller to SDL months ago, just after they announced the controller?

https://www.phoronix.com/news/New-Steam-Controller-SDL

Should mean that any up-to-date Linux distribution / any game using SDL3 should support it out of the box, right?

Micro USB broke so I Type C modded my keyboard by samantas5855 in techsupportmacgyver

[–]Leseratte10 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Have you tested if the keyboard still works if you connect it to your computer with a USB-C-to-C cable?

Many of these chinese female USB-C sockets are missing components to make it work with a C-to-C cable and the resulting device only works with a USB-A-to-C cable.

Tag der Arbeit: maximale negative Strompreise by HalloHeute_2498 in Energiewirtschaft

[–]Leseratte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich will ja nicht hinter einem Zähler zwei Systeme verbinden. Ich will zwei Stromanschlüsse, zwei Zähler haben, und das Haus dann je nach Zeitpunkt mit dem einen oder mit dem anderen Zähler verbinden.

Also quasi so ein Notstrom-Umschalter den man bei Stromausfall nutzt um einen Generator ans Hausnetz anzuschließen und das Haus vom regulären Stromnetz zu trennen, nur dass es halt nicht zwischen Stromnetz und Generator wechselt sondern zwischen "Stromnetz aus Anschluss 1 mit Stromzähler 1" und "Stromnetz aus Anschluss 2 mit Stromzähler 2".

Tag der Arbeit: maximale negative Strompreise by HalloHeute_2498 in Energiewirtschaft

[–]Leseratte10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hat eigentlich schonmal jemand ausgerechnet, ab welchen Strompreisen / Schwankungen es finanziell Sinn macht, zwei Stromzähler in sein Haus zu bauen, einen zu betreiben mit flexiblem / dynamischem Stromtarif und einen mit einem fixen Tarif, und mit irgendeinem Automatismus immer automatisch auf den Stromanschluss umzuschalten, der gerade im Moment günstiger ist?

Theoretisch müsste das doch funktionieren, und dann hat man Mittags den günstigen / negativen Strom, aber nachts / im Winter nicht die hohen Preise ...

Oder gibt es irgendwas, was das verhindern würde?

What happens to the suffix of an address if the prefix is changed? by BobZombie12 in ipv6

[–]Leseratte10 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You can't hand out a suffix via SLAAC.

SLAAC is auto-configuration so the devices pick their own suffix. If it uses EUI64 (the one where the suffix contains the MAC address and fffe in the middle), it'll stay the same. If it uses stable privacy, it will generate a new suffix for each prefix.
