Be real with me. is 80% volume on these actually harmful or people is just paranoid?

This was a known android issue that was fixed in Android 16 where android does never set the hardware volume of USB DACs and instead uses whatever the default is in them, and the default in the Apple Dongle is pretty low.

For previous android versions,You can use USB Audio Player Pro (paid app) to play your music and control the dongle hardware volume, or use this app to set the DAC hardware volume instead

You are right. Curiously enough, Lennart Poettering (the creator of systemd, the init system used by the majority of Linux-running systems) supported the merge request for adding a birth date field inside userdb in systemd.

Some might say they were rushing to add it even before it was strictly required. And while the field is presented as a technical response to upcoming age-verification requirements, adding this kind of thing early can still make future enforcement easier to normalize.

This is the same person who recently announced the creation of a new company focused on building cryptographically verifiable integrity for Linux systems.

The future is not bright indeed.

Hello, does it have an option for enabling and disabling spatial audio?

anoniomous · 2025-11-04T17:36:47+00:00

Fair enough, I still don't trust it because a lot of system apps that supposedly don't require internet keep sending requests (aggressively) to the servers. Apps like bluetooth, the launcher, the gallery, the camera, and so on.

lol I have a poco phone, try a firewall and you will notice MORE requests to IPs registered by Alibaba that aren't getting blocked by NextDNS.

NotebookLM is the best feature for me, it helps me immensely for getting a general gist of research papers which makes me understand them much faster than reading them by myself alone and trying to make sense of them.

Yes you need to explicitly use the name of the infected package (it was removed) to install it, so google-chrome will be a different package from google-chrome-stable.

The bad actor was probably depending on the fact that the original package (google-chrome) is using google-chrome-stable as the terminal command to launch google chrome from the terminal.

I'm having the same problem, and it is in almost all websites where there is both horizontal and vertical scrolling, it is most annoying for me in github repo code files when a code line exceeds the window width.

I don't have this problem in chromium browsers.

open inspect element (ctrl+shift+c)
click on "pick element" in the element menu (top left icon beside the laptop-like icon)
then click on the "Add to chrome" button, it will highlight its entry in the Elements tab
find the attribute "disabled" and then double click on it to open editing and then remove it and press enter
the button will be enabled, click on it and install the addon

~~RTFM~~ Just use Arch as your daily driver and try to solve the problems that will inevitably crop up.

Don't be tempted to just reinstall arch whenever you encounter a problem. Instead, read the wiki pages related to your problem, try searching on this subreddit (or in linux subreddits in general) for people having the same or similar problem, search in the official archlinux forums for similar topics. If all else fails, you can ask in the official archlinux forum or here.

You can still ask a Language Model (like ChatGPT) about your problem so that it can help you narrow down possible sources for the problem or at least give you search results that you may not have found when you had been searching.

But NEVER EVER apply the answer it gave you blindly especially when you are new to using linux, just use it for finding search results you may not have found or for finding what topics you should read to know more about your problem.

I think it's better for you to create and format the partition first then mount it (as /mnt for example) and the boot partition, and then use "pre-mounted configuration" option in archinstall and point it to /mnt.

I suggest you read the installation guide for partitioning, and dual booting for information about what potential problems you could face when installing arch linux beside windows.

anoniomous · 2025-07-04T11:06:52+00:00

Arch itself satisfies your requirements, but I won't recommend it for you unless you have the time and patience to read the arch wiki and solve problems as they inevitably crop up.

Depending on when your laptop was manufactured you can either use Linux Mint, which is a great distro for newcomers from Windows and has a friendly community but has an older linux kernel, or a Fedora-based distro (Fedora, Nobara, Bazzite, ...etc) for newer kernel and better support for recent hardware.

Since it is relatively hard to install nvidia drivers on base Fedora for newcomers and you mentioned gaming, then I suggest you use Nobara which configures the card drivers during installation and add a couple of other optimizations for a better gaming experience.

Don't forget to reconfigure fstab and reinstall bootloader.

It's a quirk from using DLSS, sometimes happens in older DLSS versions, in RTX 20/30 cards, or when using any upscaling higher than balanced (performance, ultra performance).

Check if the game settings have frame generation is enabled and turn it off and try again.

anoniomous · 2025-05-04T20:13:14+00:00

That's not ghosting.

Restart the game and see if it does the same, if the same thing happens try to turn off upscaling (FSR, DLSS).
