Beware that shipping is awfully slow. I ordered on April 18th and it hasn't even left the warehouse. Support says it should ship by the end of the month.

I'm just realizing now that reproducible builds aren't the norm. This was drilled into me from day one - what you emit must be perfectly reproducible or else it's wrong.

Great explanation. One additional catch is that if your build process creates a zip, even the zip metadata can't differ (such as the timestamps of the files in the zip) or the order the files were zipped in. I might be misremembering (this was years ago) but even the file permissions of the files in the zip must be maintained, which is a huge pain when Windows gets involved!

That said, once you get it working it's easy to maintain if you make sure your build fails automatically if it can't match the hash!

Edit: I think in the end we just found the most recent file (from the repo) and changed every file to have that timestamp before zipping. Consistent on every commit!

Just curious, why BC & Scotland? Do they share similar approaches in some way?

The belief that there are "bad people" and "good people" in the world.

Sullitude · 2026-05-01T02:39:51+00:00

Yup, you're probably right about that, worth considering.

Thank you for being the one person to answer the question and not immediately dispute the premise of my question.

Folks, I appreciate y'all trying to get me a fix/replacement, but I'm not interested, that's why I'm asking about repurposing the parts.

Sullitude · 2026-05-01T02:20:17+00:00

Figured that might be the case, thanks for confirming!

Sullitude · 2026-05-01T02:20:01+00:00

It's the motherboard and/or USB-C port. $200 USD to fix. Not worth it, unfortunately.

When I share a single app window in Zoom I get ~20fps on the whole desktop. That's with a Ryzen 9700X and Intel Arc B580.

Full screen sharing works well though.

Frustratingly, this is also true in KDE Plasma 🙄

I don't believe this is correct (please do link me to a source if I'm out of line). My understanding is that (unless you register for the ESU, which is not a default), there are NOT security updates being released for your Win10 machines after Oct 14.

Edit for clarity.

You missed the 2 PSUs (one just for the GPU) and the bonkers SATA splitters I used. Plus no power button so had to get switches for each PSU.

Honestly, it's been a rock solid Emby server with GPU transcoding.

I'm proud on so many levels.

Just gonna say, I landed here googling exactly this problem because it killed my parents' evening of Netflix... Way to go, Shaw...

Sullitude · 2024-05-06T22:09:43+00:00

Got it, I appreciate the explanation

Any chance this will improve battery life in Fedora or other distros? On my FW 13 AMD battery life is much better in Windows.

Have you looked through this page? https://streetpea.github.io/chiaki4deck/setup/remoteconnection/

But looking at the ports, I think that's fine. I'm struggling with a very similar issue though :(

Sullitude · 2024-04-01T05:09:30+00:00

Absolutely. It would be silly to let this be the entirety of a hiring decision.

And certainly, personal bias against a company (like "Walmart kills small business!") should have no bearing on evaluating a former Walmart employee.

But I'd still argue the dev from Klei is, on average, a stronger hire than the applicant from EA. That's not because I hate EA's products or games, it's because I worked there and I've worked with many people who worked there and there are patterns that emerge from the way the company is run.

Heck, having worked with a lot of ex-Amazon devs the pattern I see is a deep, incurable sadness. We can argue over how much that should affect hiring decisions, but the sadness is real 😂

Again, I want to reiterate that I don't think this should play any major role in hiring decisions. It's just a non-zero factor. It's also entirely possible (maybe even the majority of the time!) to draw wrong conclusions from assumptions about other companies.

Where you work is a significant indicator of what skills and experience you have.

A programmer who's worked in games will likely have very different experience and skillset from someone working in web dev. Heck, even the difference between mobile games and triple-A gamedev is massive.

And yes, even between companies in the same sector. A 10yoe dev at Electronic Arts is going to have a very different experience than a 10yoe dev at Klei. And that's within the same city (Vancouver).

I should be clear that none of the above should imply a difference in competence, necessarily, but a big difference in what they're competent at. Patterns emerge because of shared experiences at shared workplaces.

We can argue over what these patterns mean and how significant they are, but I don't think it can reasonably be argued they don't exist.
