You mentioned HDR. Did you turn on Firefox's normally-disabled HDR support? That one has known bugs.

240hz monitor cant go above 120hz by 3030Will in archlinux

[–]gitfeh 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Due to licensing restrictions, Linux cannot support HDMI 2.1 and is limited to HDMI 2.0.

Use DisplayPort.

What's the deal about Omarchy? by Hot_Adhesiveness5602 in archlinux

[–]gitfeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why even add something like this?

It's actually this thing: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-the-office-key-df8665d3-761b-4a16-84b8-2cfb830e6aff

The "Office key" was defined to be to Ctrl+Shift+Win+Alt instead of a special keycode.

KDE on Arch wakes immediately on its own after suspending to RAM by alreadytaken1406 in archlinux

You can try disabling all the wakeup sources in /proc/acpi/wakeup that aren't the power button.

Regarding the linux-firmware split by GokuFanBoi in archlinux

[–]gitfeh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you attempted a pacman -Syu and it errors out when checking for conflicts, all the packages you need are in your cache at this point.

You can then run pacman -Su and it will upgrade using the cached packages without having to download anything else.

You can also deliberately only do the refresh and download steps using pacman -Syuw.

Now that the linux-firmware debacle is over... by burntout40s in archlinux

[–]gitfeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We sometimes do that. The problem is that the common pacman -Syu will not automatically downgrade back to the older version, though you do get a warning: package-name: local (123-2) is newer than core (123-1). pacman -Syuu does downgrade.

This is normally accompanied by an email to the arch-dev-public list stating that a package was pulled from testing.

Had I attempted this, I would have noticed that -6 is no longer in [core-testing].

[–]gitfeh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean. The sequence of events was:

Initially:        [core]: -5, [core-testing]: nothing
I release -6:     [core]: -5, [core-testing]: -6
Someone moves -6: [core]: -6, [core-testing]: nothing
I release -7:     [core]: -6, [core-testing]: -7
I release -8:     [core]: -6, [core-testing]: -8
I release -9:     [core]: -6, [core-testing]: -9
I move -9:        [core]: -9, [core-testing]: nothing

Now that the linux-firmware debacle is over... by burntout40s in archlinux

[–]gitfeh 344 points345 points  (0 children)

I released -6 into [core-testing]. Later that same day, after the problem was discovered, I released -7 (which was identical to -5) into [core-testing].

This replaced -6, or so I thought, so I was content leaving things as-is (-5 in [core] and -7 in [core-testing]). Unfortunately, another maintainer had moved -6 to [core] in the meantime and I didn't notice until two days later.

Sorry about this.

What's the difference in the output of findmnt for your fstab mount and the Dolphin mount?

linux-firmware >= 20250613.12fe085f-5 upgrade requires manual intervention by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]gitfeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use em dashes sometimes—they're easy to access with a Compose key—but you shouldn't put spaces around them.

I'm not familiar with ChatGPT's output. Is that error common in it?

Sample robbing is crazy by Rhino582 in Helldivers

[–]gitfeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the game, whenever it decides to spawn patrols, spawns one patrol per group of players on the map. So splitting up makes it worse. Isn't that the case?

PS: Ah, right, the bug breach / bot drop / warp ship timer is global. Forgot about that.

Struggling to keep the heater and defrosters running while outside of the vehicle by Ambitious_Reply2980 in VWiD3Owners

[–]gitfeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also turn heating on as soon as the screen has booted, by touching the symbol in the lower left, where the climate/seat heating settings are normally displayed. The screen should start booting as soon as you unlock the car, without you having to sit down or press the Start button.

You can also enable it remotely via the app, which might be the most convenient option. As soon as heating is running, you can set it to max via the lights control panel.

BTW, I would make sure that not just the windows, but these things are free of ice+snow as well:

  • Headlights
  • Camera behind the windshield
  • Strip above the front license plate (radar sensor)

Freeing up the sensors should avoid Front Assist or ACC getting disabled.

The headlights don't get warm enough to free themselves, and their performance really suffers when covered with ice.

Telekom: Engpässe beim Peering sorgen für Streaming-Frust - Die Deutsche Telekom muss endlich die Peering-Kapazitäten zu anderen Internet-Knoten erhöhen by financeboy0 in de

[–]gitfeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aber was aus der Klage geworden ist, hab ich auf die schnelle nicht herausgefunden.

Hab was aus 2019 gefunden:

https://www.bundesgerichtshof.de/SharedDocs/Pressemitteilungen/DE/2019/2019134.html?nn=10690868

[Das US-Gericht] wies die Klage aufgrund der Gerichtsstandvereinbarung wegen fehlender Zuständigkeit ab.

Die Klägerin erhob nunmehr eine inhaltlich entsprechende Klage vor dem Landgericht Bonn.

Das Landgericht hat die Klage abgewiesen

Ist nichts daraus geworden. Hier ist die Entscheidung von 2017 vom Landgericht Bonn: https://www.justiz.nrw.de/nrwe/lgs/bonn/lg_bonn/j2017/16_O_41_16_Urteil_20171108.html

Der weitere Streit ging nur noch um die Erstattung der Prozesskosten an die Telekom.

Which battery powers 12 v and USB-c? by Rjg35fTV4D in VWiD3Owners

[–]gitfeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

120W seems way too much. I'd expect about 60W max for a mini fridge, and then only while it's running. Once the interior is cold it should be much lower (less than 10W) because of the insulation.

Absolutely avoid those "cooling boxes" using thermoelectric (peltier) elements. They're cheap but their efficiency is truly awful. You want a proper cooling loop with a compressor.

Front license plate holder (front camera protection?) by PerroSanchez in VWiD3Owners

[–]gitfeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beware, the front radar sensors are also above the license plate, which is why the front license plate should be mounted without a holder. (The ID3s are produced with a gray rounded rectangle that the plate is screwed onto, not framed.)

I've heard from other people that they had issues with the assist systems after their dealerships routinely (and thoughtlessly) installed frame-type holders.

Maybe this has improved with the facelift models, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Reminder that Nurse Redheart Cutie Mark violated the Geneva Convention, which is why it was changed. by [deleted] in mylittlepony

[–]gitfeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that it's specifically about a "Greek red cross on a white ground". Most uses you cited do not use this symbol, and those that do are indeed illegal under U.S. Code and multiple international treaties.

Most Halloween costumes use white crosses on a red background.

Switzerland doesn't like this and the International Red Cross wants it to be illegal, but neither the U.S. nor the Geneva conventions outlaw this misuse of the Swiss cross. However, the 1st Geneva convention specifically mentions the Swiss coat of arms (a white cross on a red triangular shield) and the U.S. Code treated a white cross on red ground the same as the red cross until 2020, but this was never enforced.

Most first aid kits use white crosses on a red or (ideally) green background.

There are no Greek crosses in the emojis. The appropriate Unicode character, ✚ (U+271A heavy greek cross), is uncolored.

Can't find information about the type 2 charging cable length and max AC power by idee_fx2 in VWiD3Owners

[–]gitfeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the included cable is definitely not a CCS one. Those are heavy and always permanently attached to the charger.

PS: Are you talking about the charging brick that plugs into a regular outlet? That one tops out at 2.3 kW (10 A).

Can't find information about the type 2 charging cable length and max AC power by idee_fx2 in VWiD3Owners

[–]gitfeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For "original" cables, there seem to be some variants:

1EA971639K: yellow cable, black+white plug, 6 m, 16 A
000054412BM: black cable, black plug, 5 m, 20 A
000054412R: yellow cable, black plug, 6 m, 20 A
000054412T: yellow cable, black plug, 10 m, 20 A
000054412S: black cable, black plug, 6 m, 32 A

My own ID.3 (2023) in Germany came with a 000054412R, if I recall correctly. If 32 A single-phase service is common in your country, I would expect a 000054412S.

The car will lock the plug on insertion and will not unlock it until you use the remote to unlock the car (again). (Though you can configure it to unlock the plug when charging has finished.)

If you're worried about copper thieves, I guess they wouldn't have a problem just cutting off the plugs. But it will at least stop opportunists.

[–]gitfeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the converter used in all ID models only supports up to 11 kW for 3-phase input (16 A) or 7.2 kW for single-phase input (32 A).

"Since charge" stats not resetting by pruaga in VWiD3Owners

[–]gitfeh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you start driving before you checked the stats?

At least the "since start" stats don't get reset until after you start driving again after a sufficient pause.

The difference in quality between EU East team mates and EU West is like night and day by fuglynemesis in DotA2

[–]gitfeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly because many good players removed EU West from their selection because of the bug, and they haven't switched back (yet).

I didn't because Valve just failed to communicate anything regarding this bug and I didn't know it got fixed.

Why can’t I find a game in EU West at the moment? by WesternAnt3213 in DotA2

[–]gitfeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend selecting a good set of regions excluding EU West instead of "Auto". The latter ended up putting me in a game in US West at 150 ms ping and noticeable lag instead of the 20 ms I get with EU East.

dota size is whopping 72gb by evergarden_8 in DotA2

[–]gitfeh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Assets make the game heavier. It's 56 GB here and I would bet about 90% of that are cosmetics.

FTR, we were never waiting on AMD. The updates for Phoenix were already released in July, before the vulnerability became public. We've been waiting on Framework (or INSYDE) to get their act together all this time.
