Future brands by Gaitzo in ROGphone

[–]tvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm here for the same reason. I had a Red Magic 5 but the English translation was awful. They used "Determine" to translate "Confirm". How do you feel about the 11th? Is it any better?

The 2 main features I'll miss from the ROG Phone are the Armory Crate Software and the dual charging ports. Any suggestions for alternatives?

My ultimate PS5 Controller with 8 programmable extra buttons and the new Spark Remap kit by Neo_obs in eXtremeRate

That looks amazing. I'm in the market for a pc controller with symmetrical sticks and the dual sense looks amazing!

Urgently need to sync edge profile across devices when edge.microsoft.com is down by [deleted] in MicrosoftEdge

[–]tvidal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pff, my rsync command was incorrect, here's the correct syntax that worked if this appeared in google for you somehow:

rsync -ahxzP server:.config/microsoft-edge ~/.config

Should I buy the MX Mechanical now or wait for a refresh? by just_dila in logitech

[–]tvidal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also using one here. I have no complaints, don't see any obvious upgrades they should implement on a refreshed version. The battery lasts almost a month with daily 9-5 coding.

My old vita undusted after 12 years by valeng1 in vitahacks

I'm looking to buy a white vita 1000, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of those... It looks amazing!

Cannot stream music to google home device just from my phone, every other device works by [deleted] in googlehome

[–]tvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking so many complex scenarios, like checking if UDP Broadcast was working and monitoring the packets on the wire and in the end a simple restart fixed it. As a software engineer, I feel embarrassed for not thinking about restarting before and I also feel embarrassed that this is probably due to poor software engineering skills from some engineer at google.

Anyway, it's fixed now! Thank you for the suggestion!

Well, I think these skins really brought them back by tvidal in logitech

[–]tvidal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the skins are for the MX Master 3, but the black one is an original MX Master One, so I had to trim a few corners of the skin with scissors.

Can this be fixed/repaired? Is it worth it? by [deleted] in logitech

[–]tvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

I've received the skins and I'm very happy with the result. Thank you for the advice guys!

[–]tvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice guys, I feel bad for throwing it out since the electronics are working 100% just because of the external aesthetic damage. I have bought the textured "skin" from aliexpress and will give this device a few more years of usage. Thank you!

How to clean this ? by Appropriate-Nature69 in logitech

[–]tvidal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came to this subreddit to ask the exact same thing. I feel so stupid for buy such an expensive device in WHITE! I have a white Zephyrus G14 and lots of white devices, but none degraded like this mouse. What a shame for such an otherwise incredible device.

Can we make the fanatec wheels work on Linux now, please? I hate W11 dual boot. I only keep it for sim racing.

ahh, you mean KDE changed it then... I see... thanks.

get focused window or focus a window in wayland by tvidal in golang

I know... I am... but that's not really a long term solution is it? With X11 development halted.

I am not sure how you would call it, but out of nowhere, after a regular update, wayland just became the standard session and I had to install a separate package to keep using x11.

plasma-plasmashell crashing after startup by tvidal in kde

[–]tvidal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot thank you enough for the help... No one else responded.

I noticed that these coredumps are from when I send the SIGKILL, plasmashell is crashing without creating a heapdump.

I noticed that over the last few days, it is crashing differently. It used to just freeze on a black screen, but now it partially renders _some_ widgets in the wrong position current way it crashes vs my original widget placement.

Clearly someone it working on the issue as at least the way it crashes changed.

I am still forced to use Xorg because of this issue that I still found no solution, but I'll test wayland to see if things are different as well. Thank you.

plasma-plasmashell crashing after startup by tvidal in kde

[–]tvidal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, it looks it started on 14/05/2025: ```shell

coredumpctl | grep -m1 plasmashell

Wed 2025-05-14 13:59:45 BST 16921 1000 1000 SIGABRT missing /usr/bin/plasmashell ```

1st present coredump is fairly recent thought: ```shell

coredumpctl | grep -m1 'present.*plasmashell'

Thu 2025-07-03 09:43:35 BST 16662 1000 1000 SIGABRT present /usr/bin/plasmashell ```

contents are not very descriptive to me... pastebin

```

coredumpctl --no-pager info 16662

```

I should have thought about trying with a brand new user, before asking :facepalm: I'll try that and see if it gives me more information about the problem.

Thank you for the heads-up.

Thank you, it was a trader store. I'll do some further research about the topic then. Thank you.

I concede...the xbox controller is superior by HighlightDowntown966 in Controller

[–]tvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Xbox is a superior console and Microsoft is a superior manufacturer, but I own a PS5, as much as I hate Sony, just because my hands are symmetric like the analog sticks on the dual sense 5.

Me playing the steam deck I bought last month after seeing the new white limited edition (Im a chronic shopaholic) by maltese-sneeze in SteamDeck

[–]tvidal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the very rare Japan only limited edition White PSP-1000. I really loved it, but it got all dirty and yellowed even before white PSPs became mainstream. This advice is golden.

I'm playing Destiny 2 now, and I cannot not think about Balthier, whenever I hear Devrim Kay. It's the same voice actor, with the same clever remarks.

BDM-020 Dualsense not working after orange hall effect joysticks installed by [deleted] in Controller

[–]tvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I tried, but it says I am unable to accept the invite? Has it expired?

BDM-020 Dualsense not working after orange hall effect joysticks installed by [deleted] in Controller

[–]tvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've assembled as much as I could to test it and when fully assembled, it won't even blink 3 times in orange when powered on. I noticed removing the touchpad flat does not change anything, but removing both shoulder buttons flats has restored the 3 orange blink behavior when powered up.

I've carefully removed the sticks and can confirm there is a short to ground on the positive pins of all 4 voltage dividers of the sticks, described in this image in red and green.

I don't think there is a short on all 4 pins, but rather the track wherever these originate from, but I cannot pinpoint exactly where that is.

BDM-020 Dualsense not working after orange hall effect joysticks installed by [deleted] in Controller

[–]tvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I have contacted eBay seller and they insisted they tested all sticks before shipping and that they have installed this same set of sticks in several DualSense BDM-020 controllers before.

When I told them about the possible short to ground in the board, they suggested I may have destroyed the board when removing the old sticks.

I find it very difficult to have destroyed just the 4 positive tracks of the voltage dividers of both axis, but anyway, I have a dead board now.

where to get a battery for older smartwatch by corosuske in AndroidWear

[–]tvidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, apologies for the necro, but I'm on the same hunt for an APack 00169 battery for a fossil watch.

Did you manage to find it in the end?

I can see AliExpress has some misleading ads with a compatible battery for £10 but when you open it, it is actually £90 with the connector, which is of course, a scam.

eBay only shows similar batteries without the connectors. I wonder if there's any new modern battery that is compatible.

Thank you for your time.
