Shit.

Is this how I find out I’m old?

I always found it impossible to imagine ever owning anything as ornate as the furnishings my grandaprents have.

Now I see the appeal.

You are being stopped from stopping people playing their games.

That’s a double negative bruh, as in, it reduces overrall limitations in the world for what people are allowed to do.

The --decrypt option is used to remove LUKS encryption entirely and turn the partition into a normal storage volume.

Interrupting that process is still likely to have irreparably damaged the volume, making it impossible to recover.

This seems reasonable. And you’re right.

But there is absolutely no way that interrupting such an operation with a forced power-cycle can be safe. In fact it’s an almost guaranteed way to put a data partition into a irrecoverable state.

When it comes to storage operations, you either let them fail, or complete. Interrupting file system modifications is a HUGE no-no.

Interrupting hard drive operations is REALLY dangerous.

Add to that the sensitivities of encrypted volumes, and I’m 90% sure your data is gone. Hope you had backups.

You’ll probably have to re-install.

Audio devices can have multiple modes or “profiles” that determine what they do.

For my headset I have:

For my internal sound card I have:

If I set my headset to one of the options that doesn’t have “+ Mono Input” the mic stops working and doesn’t even show up in settings and apps anymore. Same if I use the “Stereo Output” mode on my internal sound card. They must be set to a mode with both output and input enabled to work.

I can see this from “Sound” in my KDE settings, but you can also configure this in the “Configuration” tab of pavucontrol.

The bluetooth controller in the machine needs to support wake on pcie/usb. The one in the steamdeck does, which is how it achieves the ability to be woken from a controller.

Linux can run pirated windows copies of games just fine.

You’ll need to install qbittorrent, and search up a torrent download for Tekken 7. You can probably find a Tekken 3 download the same way.

To run Tekken 7, you can use Bottles. (Install bottles, create a bottle for gaming, then run the game installer inside the bottle)

To run Tekken 3, you can use PCSXR. All you should need to do is “open” the Tekken 3 iso in PCSXR.

Tekken 3 is a PS one game, not PS2.

It has no PC version. Any such thing is just the PS one version with an emulation wrapper.

You definitely seem to have what looks to be the right audio device getting detected.

The device that is “unplugged” should be the 3.5mm jack on your laptop (if you have one) not the internal mic.

My first guess is that your audio device is in the wrong mode. If it is currently set to something like “stereo output” change it to “stereo output+mono input” or “stereo duplex” from pavucontrol or audio settings.

That laptop doesn’t seem to have a dedicated GPU. The intel integrated GPU can run games, but Tekken 7 may prove a bit heavy.

Tekken 7 can be purchased and installed via steam. You might have to turn down the graphics a good bit but I imagine it should be playable.

Tekken 3 does not have a PC version, but it’s very easy to emulate the PS1 version.

For that you’ll need to install a psx emulator. I recommend PCSXR.

Then you’ll need a copy of Tekken 3 as an iso file to run it.

OnePlus offloads heat to the charger

Some of it. They omit some circuitry that would have generated additional heat in the phone, and have it in the charger instead, but that doesn’t magically mean the battery itself wont generate the inevitable heat caused by being charged faster. The battery itself only accepts one voltage, so the only way to charge it faster is amps.

And my feeling is that they aren’t using the gains from this to make the batteries last, as SUPERVOOC is faster than pretty much every other standard. That makes me think they turned in any and all gains in battery health, for speed.

Most chargers send the additional energy via the cable in the form of extra voltage, because that doesn’t require a special cable. Turning that voltage into amps in the phone produces a little bit of extra heat, but that doesn’t mean that by eliminating that step, you get none from the battery itself as it charges. You can technically charge with a higher voltage, if you set up a phone such that it has more than one lithium cell. Some phones do this, but this doesn’t require the OnePlus approach of using a special charger that provides a higher current, since any fast charger that can do the usual higher voltage method of providing extra power will work.

Like you say. I’m curious how they test this. Even if one battery gets more cycles, it’ll degrade with time, as well. iPhones fast charge, too, but not with the chargers that used to come with the phones. You have to get one specifically for fast charging to get faster-than-normal charging.

Also, a tip. You may want to use something like AccuBattery to actually measure the state of the battery. Batteries, being chemical devices, have different capacities straight off the production line simply by virtue of not being chemically identically down to every molecule. (My Xperia 1 V unfortunately came with 93% design capacity, still within manufacturing tolerance, but the lowest I’ve seen on a new battery, it can be a bit of a lottery)

The built-in battery health monitor will just say “all good” until it isn’t. AccuBattery has allowed me to monitor every percentage of degradation over the lives of my last few phones.

Isn’t one plus one of the brands that has their own fast charging tech, that’s extra fast?

Makes total sense if they traded in longevity for speed.

Ah. That’s right. You need to use the uid as the network share doesn’t have permissions the way a local partition would. Normally it’s unneeded, as the drive, folder and file permissions are set on the drive, and those are the ones that matter once it is mounted.

Note that the uid only sets access permissions. It does not actually mount the share as you, so you’ll still need to be root to unmount it, unless you change user to users.

The option you’re looking for is users, not user.

user makes it so that any user can mount, but only the same user can unmount. Meaning, since root is mounting it on boot, root has to be the one to unmount it, too.

users allows any user to mount, and any user to unmount.

Not sure what’s on going with Pika. Who mounts the share shouldn’t matter, as the folder permissions should be the same regardless.

Do you have a uid option set?

I like your Heather Mason. You’ve found a perfect level of detail to make these work.

Like they’re just barely “too detailed”, making them just a little unsettling, the way horror game art should be.

Have you done other characters?

You say “your style”, so my first thought is to wonder what else you’ve done since must’ve done enough to land on a style.

Edit: ah, found your other posts! Feel free to cross-post to gameart, we want to see and celebrate all the art that games both contain and inspire.

Yesterday we saw the biggest increase in signatures in a single day, even compared to the start of the initiative.

This isn’t change.org or a twitter poll.

It’s an official EU citizens initiative, hosted on the EU web portal. The one maintained by the EU for the very purpose of digitally facilitating any and all citizens initiatives.

No, I’m not.

Ok

I’m saying this is a waste of time.

I… What? Is that not a mutual exclusivity argument? For you to have a point, this time and effort would need to be better spent elsewhere. I not only disagree with that, but I have the time and energy to do the other things you are claiming will make a difference.
