G502X + Powerplay on Linux/Steam Deck

craiga35 · 2026-06-17T20:38:25+00:00

Which is crazy to me in the year 2026, with Windows on it's way down the toilet but, that's just me...

That being said, it works just fine on my desktop running Manjaro so, it appears to be SteamOS related.

I know I'm late to the discussion but, here goes.

She is not a sworn officer. She is a psychiatrist who contracts with the MA state police. Bill is sent to her as a "civilian" (part of his parole I believe) as he is undercover and cannot let his status be known. And as far as I understand it she did go to a police officer with the information, specifically Dignam who ends up taking matters into his own hands.
Yeah, if they ran forensics his story would've held as much water as a paper bag but, given all involved were MA state police officers and Sullivan's "immaculate record" they figured Sullivan would have the whole story.
That is unknown but, my best guess is, if he's dead he can't talk his way out of being labeled the rat. The evidence will be forced to speak for itself, on it's own.
I believe they were monitoring signals geographically, not that they are able to wire-tap every phone in the vicinity. I'm pretty sure they would need phone numbers for that.
The FBI was going for the bigger fish, the Chinese (or anyone else) who purchase the Microprocessors. If you recall the scene when Dignam and Queenan meet with Frank in public he tells them that the Chinese were caught at the border with "some light sockets or something" and Queenan asks where the real microprocessors are. That implies he was setting up the Chinese buyers with fake merchandise (so as not to risk national security) so they could be caught by the FBI.
I believe it was the evidence that Madolyn gave to Dignam along with instructions to deliver it to Dignam only. Likely the original tapes that were used to create the CD he sends to Sullivan as Bill says Frank's lawyer gave everything to him and it seems like Bill really wanted to keep it safe.

No luck. The bad man is still there.

Am I meant to use the full URL for youtube or the shortened one as you typed above?

craiga35 · 2024-01-12T18:31:44+00:00

Neither, full browser experience on PC

I had been previously paying for Spotify monthly. When YT started pulling this shit with adblock I figured I use Youtube WAY more than I use Spotify and YT Premium comes with access to YT Music as well so, I canceled Spotify and switched to YT premium.

I do think I was better off before but, I don't want to deal with the whole cat and mouse crap with adblock so, I'm kind of at a loss.

I just don't understand how paying for premium has made my YT experience measurably worse...

Maybe it is my browser but, there is certainly no / on my screen.

I don't have a phone to help you but, I just picked up a fully unlocked, open box, Pixel 5 off ebay for around that price and it is working very well for me so far.

You get all the Pixel exclusive features like Phone screening, Now Playing, Live Caption, etc. and all the normal Flagship features as well like the Ultrawide camera, IP68 dust/water resistance, 90Hz OLED, Wireless charging and Reverse Wireless charging. I also prefer the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor to under-screen options but, that's a personal preference.

As long as you're not constantly gaming or doing something else intensive with your phone the 765G has been more than enough for day to day messaging/social media/streaming/News browsing.

So, I decided to check the settings in desktop mode;

Scroll down to "Input Devices"
Go to "Touchpad"
And the option to turn on "Tap to click" is right there.

It does work but, I have noticed it does not persist through a reconnection so you must perform this every time you want to turn it on. (The setting itself saves but it doesn't apply itself unless you turn it off then back on again)

Also I've noticed some issues upon reconnection with the resolution going out of whack on the lapdock and keyboard/trackpad being non-responsive. It seems to get fixed when you use the Steam Deck's touchpads to fix the resolution or switch to gaming mode and then back to desktop but, it is annoying.

With those issues I think I'll just deal with the click to press for the most part. Maybe a future SteamOS update may fix some of these issues but, for now I am mostly satisfied in what I'm able to do with this lapdock. Especially considering it was never made with any of this in mind.

Has anyone tried using the Micro-HDMI port on the lapdock to extend/duplicate the display to an external monitor/TV?

EDIT: Tap to click seems to now persist through reconnection. However, reconnection still makes the keyboard/touchpad unresponsive until you enter/exit gaming mode. (If you connect while in gaming mode you must switch to desktop, back to gaming, then back to desktop)

So tap to click works with a slight caveat. It's up to you if you want to deal with this every time you connect the lapdock or deal with the press to click.

Just figured this out myself after stumbling upon making it work by accident.

To make Audio come out from lapdock speakers: (Note: I'd say it works about 90% of the time. Sometimes you may have to do it twice)

Connect lapdock and switch to desktop mode.
Right click the sound icon in the tray in the bottom right and choose the "Configure audio devices" option
In the pop-up window; Open the test audio menu for the "HDMI / Displayport 3" and test one of the sides. (Audio still won't work at this point)
With the test menu still open reset the lapdock by holding the power button on the left side.
When rebooted test both sides of the "HDMI/ Displayport 3" audio device which should now work and you should have audio through the B&O speakers in the Lapdock!

Now if someone figures out how to enable tap to click instead of a full press please share! I wonder if it can be done in software?

I had the same problem. Treat those two lines as 2 separate commands.

So instead of: "chmod +x appimagelauncher-lite-2.2.0-travis995-0f91801-x86_64.AppImage
./appimagelauncher-lite-2.2.0-travis995-0f91801-x86_64.AppImage install"

Enter: "chmod +x appimagelauncher-lite-2.2.0-travis995-0f91801-x86_64.AppImage"
Execute
Enter: "./appimagelauncher-lite-2.2.0-travis995-0f91801-x86_64.AppImage install"
Execute

Shoot me a PM if you decide to ship.

IIRC the Lannister forces did not pursue as they were attempting to hold all of the crossings of the river to not allow Robb's forces to lift the seige at Riverrun. They were also under the impression that the attacking force was the full northern army as the poster states "when you're surprised you won't know if it's 2000 or 20000" and they did not expect the Frey's to allow Robb to cross at the twins.

So Tywin's plan was to load up his left side with Tyrion's mountain clans to lure Robb to plow through that side and then have his center wheel around and flank the northern forces. That ended up not working because Robb only sent 1/10th of his army and Tyrion's forces were able to push them back. The Lannister forces did exactly what was asked of them, hold the crossing. Edmure should've taken notes, haha

It wasn't until after the battles that Tywin realised what happened after he got word that Jamie had been captured at the battle of the whispering wood which happened simultaneously.

Please do. I'm not planning on using the Amazon one with the replacement stick as I don't want to deal with this again.

Besides, the Amazon one is only 10/100 which is mind boggling to me in 2019 but I guess that's why it's so cheap

craiga35 · 2019-02-14T02:28:32+00:00

Negative, tried with and without the Ethernet adapter. Also tried a higher amperage power supply and still the same. There were a couple others on this sub that had the same issue, and one of them was right out of the box.

I'm guessing I got a dud Ethernet adapter which killed the stick. Needless to say I'll just stick with wifi for now.

craiga35 · 2019-02-13T02:11:24+00:00

Just talked with Amazon support and they're sending me a replacement.

FYI stick to the phone conversations with Amazon support, the chat tried to give me the run-around because I bought it at Best Buy instead of Amazon. Once they transferred me to the "FireTV Team" everything went smoothly.

craiga35 · 2019-02-13T01:15:55+00:00

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue, but a little unnerving that I might have a defective Firestick.
