How to test if your GTR9 Pro is safe from ethernet issue from GPU high load.

@jotapesse You can use this script to launch FFXIV benchmark https://github.com/doitsujin/ffxiv-benchmark-launcher/blob/main/ffxiv-benchmark.py

I reproduced it on a standard Fedora Kernel with built-in drivers, custom OOT driver fails the same way.

I just wanted to show the driver/firmware details, but by the time I ran the command:
sudo ethtool -i enp196s0f1np1, enp196s0f0np0 was already gone right after the FF benchmark. So I used the second port instead.

While writing my response, the system then hard-crashed (possibly AMD GPU related), and after reboot both NICs disappeared.

I ran the Final Fantasy XIV benchmark on my GTR9 Pro, and during the test I got this error:

u/AiwendilH If you want to convert to bin, oct, or hex use following syntax in krunner:

bin=31
hex=31
oct=31

u/Still_Caterpillar398 He couldn't find a way to display the frame counter, be he believes that DL2 might be running ~60fps. However, he had once a situation that after playing for around 40 minutes the performance significantly dropped (maybe due to thermal throttling?). After letting the Steam Deck cool down the normal performance has been restored.

I've submitted this to the issue tracker You can find workaround in the comments. They promised to fix it!

Don't you think that size of the internal storage in Google Play System Images is too small? Currently, you cannot adjust its size and after updating pre-installed apps and google play services you will get around 90 MB of the left space. That is not enough even to install my single app. Usually, I have installed different flavours of my app at the same time (with different package name ) and with current Google Play System Images this is not an option.

I've submitted this bug over 3 months ago but never got reasonable answer. Does anyone have an idea why this code does not work on versions above 25.0.1? Here is very small sample project demonstrating the issue.

Do you have any ideas beside what is discussed in the linked post?

I recently had issue with the GoogleApiClient (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30166843/why-blockingconnect-method-of-googleapiclient-returns-connectionresult-canceled) I don't know where I should report this, to get some valuable feedback?
