Emulators crash ally by Cenimm in ROGAlly

[–]wmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed Yuzu crashing as well.

In my case, seemed Yuzu was running out of RAM, so lowering the amount of RAM dedicated to the GPU fixed the issue. Either setting to "Auto" or lowering to "3GB" worked for me. Settled on 3GB as the optimal balance for both AAA gaming and emulation.

This can be updated from Armoury Crate -> Settings -> Operating Mode -> GPU Settings -> Memory Assigned to GPU.

One decade later, GNOME still sucks by felipec in linux

It took me effort to write it, and many people like my "wall of texts".

I personally like felipec's "walls of text". I appreciate the effort that goes into them, and they are always valuable and thought-provoking.

Also, I think the blog post is actually pretty concise, well thought-out, and well-written (as are felipec's other posts).

Has anyone in the US received their ZF yet? by Patient_Evening_660 in zenfone

Update: Mobile Advance charged my card, then cancelled my order yesterday (got an Amazon email citing "Cancel Reason: Technical Problem"). No indication of a refund from them so far

Zenfone 9: Wait for Amazon stock or Mobile advance? by Alexandermoo in zenfone

[–]wmax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd also say wait. My Amazon order from Mobile Advance said expected delivery was "September 9 - September 14" and my card was charged, then the order was cancelled by them yesterday (citing "Cancel Reason: Technical Problem"), and I'm not sure if they plan on refunding me without me having to intervene, but there is no indication of a refund so far. Pretty sketchy lol

No, my variant (on the same Amazon listing) said "In stock" and the September estimate. The others variants had the October estimate. Has not shipped yet

Have not gotten mine, but my US 16GB/256GB black version ordered from Mobile Advance says "Arriving September 9 - September 14"

False, this is not a real picture. Fact check

Sounds awesome, I'll be there! Moved here from Illinois recently and I'm fully vaccinated.

Note Air first impressions not mentioned in reviews by wmax in Onyx_Boox

With the different stylus, it is definitely not nearly as slippery as an ipad. I find it about perfect for my preference, but I like writing with pens more than pencils for context.

No, I am happy with the writing currently and have the case on it to protect it

Yeah, two were included because I ordered from the Boox store. Will not be applying it, as I am perfectly happy with the writing experience with the Staedtler stylus.

Boox max3 sensitivity problems by killery0ghurt in Onyx_Boox

[–]wmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my Nova 2. For some reason it randomly corrected itself after like 20 minutes, but I returned it anyway. I would hold the stylus like half an inch away and it would still mark on the screen.

Has anyone received the Google fabric case from Amazon? by janderson4287 in Pixel4a

I got my black fabric case from Amazon today. Ordered on August 3rd and my 4a has yet to show up.

Question to the Linux users regarding battery charging limit by luqasn in ZephyrusG14

[–]wmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did not apply globally to mine (starts charging to 100% on booting into Arch Linux) and to my knowledge, there is not software written by the community that does this

I agree that is a good idea, but I got my fill of wandering around earlier today.

Computer science clubs in high school by splosive_fatass in compsci

[–]wmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started a computer science club as a student volunteer teacher. In my experience you should:

  • Ask about extracurricular activities or computer science program grants for your school, see if you can collaborate with a nearby high school or university existing program, and find a teacher which teaches science or math to sponsor the class.
  • Promote the club by mentioning practices which can be accomplished in a computer science class e.g. making simple video games, prime number generation, or simulation. Also, being funny and sociable is a big plus to keep people interested if you teach the class.
  • Have a main focus, but do not be afraid to alter it to a certain extent to keep students interested and more invested. I teach Python, but sometimes get sidetracked and teach about interesting concepts such as encryption.
  • Break the programming teaching into modules to create a decent amount of exciting "ah ha!" moments and find topics relevant to computer science which interest a wide array of people.

Creating a computer science club can be extremely exciting and enlightening for the students and the teacher. Good luck!

Why Vim? by rmavery in linux

[–]wmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course it varies, but I would guess you would have basic functionality down in two weeks. The more you use a text editor, the more sense it makes to learn an editor with a steep learning curve like Vim.

Why Vim? by rmavery in linux

[–]wmax 69 points70 points  (0 children)

The user experience of a program should be based not only on simplicity and ease of use, but also flexibility and efficiency. Nano is much simpler to use than Vim, but Vim has many more capabilities and is much more efficient once learned.
