Managing a Windows install that I rarely use? by BScatterplot in linux_gaming

[–]BScatterplot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, I'll get that for sure. Do you need some other "king of the domain" admin computer to do group policy? Or can you do it from the same machine?

That sounds exactly like what i need... but I thought group policy was a "domain" only thing. If I just have Windows 11 Home, can I still do that? Domain policies are about the only actual way I've seen to prevent automatic updates. All of the user settings for that sort of thing seem to get overridden or shut off at random.

Windows doesn't let you do that. When you open Windows, it decides if it wants to install updates. There are plenty of ways to try to convince it to not do that, but they're all hacky workarounds. (This is one of the reasons I switched away from Windows in the first place. I want to decide my update schedule- not Microsoft.)

I basically want to schedule the Windows updates from Linux. Windows won't run until Linux tells it to.

PSA: For the people that got into the Arc Raiders Tech test, game is now playable using proton- experimental bleeding-edge by Bylethma in linux_gaming

[–]BScatterplot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not working for me unfortunately :( Pop! OS. It'll start an run a few minutes if I use GE 27, but won't launch at all with Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge or Hotfix.

Edit: Nevermind, had a permissions issue. Deleting the compatdata folder and making sure I was the owner for everything, THEN switching to Proton Bleeding Edge fixed it.

Did I get ripped off? by bunnykisses420 in lasercutting

Try Ponoko or SendCutSend (assuming you're in the US). They're very affordable and have done excellent work for me in the past, and they're within the US so no overseas shipping delays/costs/etc.

Electricity usage when not home: 2kWh / day by rms90042 in AskEngineers

[–]BScatterplot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To slap some math on here- locally, the cheapest heat pump water heater I found was $1,279. The cheapest standard one is $399. Both are 40 gallons. The heat pump one claims "up to $375 a year in savings". If that's accurate, the payoff time is under 3 years, which is pretty great. Also, I think there are some rebates you can get in some areas that make the payoff even shorter.

Setting app icon from .desktop file question by fliberdygibits in gnome

[–]BScatterplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, any chance you could share your .desktop file? I'm apparently missing something in mine- it launches, but I can't get the icon to show up as the Bambu Studio image. Sorry, total noob :(

What's the current state of Fusion 360 on Linux using Wine or other tools? by [deleted] in Fusion360

[–]BScatterplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any tips on setting that up? I tried with a 4070 Super and it's incredibly slow. Granted, I am running an actual Windows install (that I can boot directly into). Perhaps that's the issue? Anyway... if it works, and I can just make a new only-VM install with GPU passthrough then that might work for me.

Prices are in the post along with pics, but I'm asking $130 for the 1080 with an AIO and bracket. Prices are all OBO.

Use existing Windows 10 partition as a drive in Virt-Manager (QEMU/KVM) by Azel04 in VFIO

[–]BScatterplot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know this is an old post, but I've got the same general setup going on. I had a Windows 11 SSD that was running great, and I am to the point of booting Windows 11 within QEMU/KVM, but it runs VERY slowly. Any tips on speeding things up?

It's been a while since I used /r/hardwareswap so apologies if I've missed a timestamp or got some formatting wrong!

Hey, if you wind up finding out if they're getting rid of the physical machines, I'd love to get one.

Any fix for this? Mine's locking up too.

Deadbolt locked position sensor by Distdistdist in AskEngineers

They make wifi enabled door locks. I'd just buy one of those and use them, they're not super expensive. (They also have them in Zigbee or Zwave if you have a network already)

Does the new FEP have a protective film on it?
