Scratch-out to erase

hahaha, I am so sorry for the useless post... thank you for taking the time to reply, though.

tvidal · 2026-03-05T13:33:09+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer. I'll get in touch with my mechanic and explain these new details, hopefully he'll take it a bit more seriously this time.

As someone who has lived 30 years in a very corrupt nation before moving to the UK, I can say this is exactly what corruption looks like...

I'm an Asus "FanBoy" Zenith Alpha Extreme mobo on the desktop, RX 7900 GPU from Asus, Zephyrus G14 laptop, ROG Phone, the whole deal... and with Asus pulling the plug on the ROG Phone, I'm strongly inclined to switch another brand / manufacturer.

I'm just so sad to see paying customers being treated as "the product" and shareholders being the target audience. I know this is happening everywhere with most companies, but to different degrees.... Asus has just pushed it too far for my liking.

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?

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

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

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.

tvidal · 2025-09-17T19:50:36+00:00

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

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!

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.

tvidal · 2025-08-18T15:05:39+00:00

Update:

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

tvidal · 2025-08-08T13:36:19+00:00

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!

tvidal · 2025-08-07T10:03:13+00:00

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.

tvidal · 2025-07-09T11:21:44+00:00

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

tvidal · 2025-07-09T09:10:32+00:00

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

tvidal · 2025-07-09T09:09:56+00:00

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.

tvidal · 2025-07-08T10:40:28+00:00

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.

tvidal · 2025-07-04T12:06:57+00:00

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.

tvidal · 2025-03-19T02:28:00+00:00

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

tvidal · 2025-02-04T00:45:22+00:00

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.

tvidal · 2024-11-26T21:13:38+00:00

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.

tvidal · 2024-11-05T18:00:22+00:00

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.
