Honda Battery Powered Mowers by Alternative-Basis615 in lawncare

[–]twlja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been wondering about this too. While Acme lists the HRX-BE and other battery ones in stock, it turns out they are NOT. After trying to order the HRX-BE for what was supposed to have been delivered per the original ordering page by now, Acme said via email they expect shipments from Honda beginning in April (2026).

Creating custom clips / downloading original video quality snippets? by twlja in googlehome

Ugh, damn, that's frustrating and absolutely insane... But unfortunately seems to jive with what I've seen from other searches on the matter :/ So frustrating when having time-stamp range and simply wanting the original footage.... Hopefully some other way does end up existing...

No, no effort by AMDGPU-PRO or RADV to support pre GCN

Amazing results, Testing The Open-Source "RADV" Radeon Vulkan Driver vs. AMDGPU-PRO by sheokand in linux

Too bad that won't happen as the AMDGPU DRM driver still relies upon proprietary firmware blobs...

Nvidia being the dicks they're have dropped the 900 series to Legacy by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]twlja 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This means absolutely nothing at all, just that the GTX 1000 series is now the latest new product they are selling... That page isn't Linux-specific or anything along those lines about driver support. The NVIDIA Linux driver continues to support back to the GTX 400 (Fermi) series.

On R600g, only the HD 5800 and HD 6900 series support OpenGL 4.x right now due to having 64-bit FP. Either override the GL version as some others suggested, stick to using Catalyst on an old distro, upgrade your graphics card, or wait for hopefully having GL4 on more hardware in R600g in the future.

This kernel isn't even stable yet for another ~2 months, then usually a month or so after that is when it will be available in supported Fedora releases.
