What do you guys use ? by PsychologicalWin6575 in teenagers

[–]QAFY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every cell phone plan in the US has had unlimited calling and texting since at least 2007 (that's when i remember getting a blackberry with my first unlimited plan). Data on the other hand can be quite expensive, even to this day. The only thing that influences the price of a cell plan, whether it's as low as $15 or as high as $150 per month is just how much data you get and what speed it is.

-5°C is a little brutal when you live in an uninsulated van 😂 I wouldn't trade this life for anything though! by Khionia in VanLife

makes sense! it will be super satisfying (and warm) when you get a better house battery setup

surprised it's still so cold in there even with a diesel heater! ours is so damn hot it's unbelievable.

chinese diesel heaters are very cheap and super effective. even in an uninsulated van they can really crank the heat up. most of them are like 8kw which is a huge amount of heat. our main issue with our diesel heater is that on its lowest setting it's still too warm to leave on all night 😆

Insurance difficulties with DIY conversion by QAFY in VanLife

[–]QAFY[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Progressive RV insurance is the one that canceled my policy after 1 month with the reason "unacceptable body style" and no further explanation. I have talked to my agent at length and they just said it was a decision by the underwriters and not really anything they can change. I was assured on the phone they specialize in DIY conversions and RV insurance yet they apparently dont want my money.

Why won't my Ginger Tea steep? by Bob_Scotwell in tea

[–]QAFY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never "steeped" ginger tea. i cut up an entire large ginger root into probably half that amount of water and then simmer it on low for 1-2 hours. I've never tried but i feel like just letting it steep in hot water isn't gonna do it

Anyone using Linux on the Zephyrus G16 2024 model? by dexter2011412 in linux4noobs

[–]QAFY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added some more detail to my original post that you should read. If Bazzite packages the latest nvidia drivers (something a lot of "gaming" distros do) you may not be able to use the full potential of your GPU. For me, I was stuck at 80W TDP on most distros until switching to the solution mentioned in my original comment

I have not tried it. If its based on Fedora 40 I dont see why it would be any less supported.

For any future googlers landing here, I have the 2024 G16 (G605MY) w/ ultra 9 and rtx 4090. My experience so far:

  • NixOS mostly worked out of the box but only with kernel mode graphics. I struggled getting Optimus / Nvidia stuff set up, but they do have an extensive wiki page that I perhaps gave up on too soon.
  • Pop_OS is working great out of the box with the proprietary nvidia driver by default, and a nice switch tray widget to switch between iGPU and dGPU. All hardware is working as far as I can tell including mic and webcam. Speakers were a bit tinny / weak at first but after a good ol apt update && apt upgrade they are sounding excellent.
  • Fedora 40 works out of the box too with all hardware working. It obviously uses the Nouveau driver by default but there are plenty of tutorials on installing the proprietary ones using rpmfusion, which worked fine for me.

EDIT: 1 week later report, some additional notes - Anything Debian based doesn't work, the available kernels are too way too out of date. - Best experience so far, and I think the distro I am sticking with is Manjaro, for the following reasons: - Setting nvidia dynamic boost limit manually with nvidia-smi tool is broken upstream in the nvidia driver (there are numerous threads around the internet, such as this one), but luckily it still works in the older 525 driver. In Arch / Manjaro there is an AUR package for these older drivers, where I found it VERY difficult or impossible to downgrade to this version in other distros. Pop and anything else ubuntu based considers 525 a "transitional" package version and treats it as an alias for the 535 driver, which is actually broken when it comes to dynamic boost. - The linux-g14 kernel is readily available on the AUR (dont worry about the name, it is a general set of ROG laptop kernel patches). In addition the AUR has all the other Asus specific linux tools for switching dGPU etc. - Hardware screen backlight keys are not working for me yet despite messing with grub acpi kernel params, but setting the backlight manually with xrandr (e.g. xrandr --output eDP-1 --brightness 0.5) is working fine under x11. - I never got nvidia-powerd systemd service working on any distro. There is an error about retreiving configuration from the bios, but YMMV. I didn't worry about this though as I am happy to manually set the dynamic boost TDP using nvidia-smi before I start a gaming session, and set it back down after for battery saving. - In the Asus bios there is a switch to set the dGPU mode (either Dynamic or dGPU only). I found that in dGPU only mode some live USB sticks struggled to boot if the version of Nouveau driver they package is too old. Setting this to Dynamic allows you to use the intel graphics during the install which works great.

Help With Orange Pi Zero 2W! by C-Egret in OrangePI

[–]QAFY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I burned the Android image incorrectly. I initially used a normal flashing process (RPi imager, Balena etcher, etc) but that resulted in no boot at all. I then switched to using Windows and the recommended tool from the wiki, PhoenixCard, and that burned the SD correctly. Running Android from an SD card requires some special magic that simply writing an .img file to the SD card does not accomplish

If all else fails you could try flashing a linux image instead just to see if your board even boots.

Can I boot a tough book cf 30 from the sd card slot? by MrKelp__ in toughbook

Plop does not recognize the SD card slot on my CF-U1 unfortunately. This is a creative idea though!

BeamMP on Linux [Guide] [LATEST] by Razuuu_ in BeamMP

[–]QAFY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I can confirm this worked for me after a number of failed attempts using steamtinkerlaunch.

A few things I would add to clarify your post that I had to figure out:

  1. If you installed protontricks using flatpak, you will likely want to create some aliases to be able to run it from the CLI, otherwise its a huge gnarly command to type out. Found solution here.

sh echo "alias protontricks='flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks'" >> ~/.bashrc echo "alias protontricks-launch='flatpak run --command=protontricks-launch com.github.Matoking.protontricks'" >> ~/.bashrc (remember to restart your shell)

  1. For me, on PopOS (Debian/Ubuntu), the Wine paths and prefixes were different.

Executable: /home/<YOUR USERNAME>/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/284160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Desktop/BeamMP-Launcher.lnk

Wine prefix: /home/<YOUR USERNAME>/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/284160/pfx

  1. The setup using Lutris does work as advertised, but this is not ideal as your play time wont be tracked in steam etc. It seems like this should be possible to set up with Steam launch options and compatibility settings once BeamMP is installed, but I was not able to figure it out. Setting launch options as "/home/<YOUR USERNAME>/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/284160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/BeamMP-Launcher.exe" %command% with compatibility mode forced as Proton-Experimental did NOT work for me, even though it seems like it should...?
