I try to be happy about things rather than actively making myself mad about some ultimately completely irrelevant chud clown on the internet.

Games@lemmy.world•Day 771 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playingEnglish
21·8 days agoI never understood why they put the monsters in the Stronghold of Security. They aren’t even good for grinding are they?
Why are you so angry? Maybe go be angry in the angry community rather than the Linux memes community.
At no point did I comment one way or the other on whether or not he is a nazi.
Firebrand leftist challenge (IMPOSSIBLE): don’t go on a tirade about nazis for one full conversation.
This post is proving that when you call someone a nazi half a dozen times in two paragraphs, it has quite the opposite effect than what you seek in people who aren’t as deep in the leftist bubble as you are.
Doesn’t just apply to nazis by the way. Make such an impassioned tirade against pretty much any person or thing hyperfocusing on one specific trait, and most listeners unfamiliar with the matter will be put on guard rather than convinced. “Why is this person so desperately trying to convince me about this? There must be more to this than they’re letting on.” Food for thought maybe.
Both those links are about the same (fake) robot by Kaiwa Technology.
I broke a display. More specifically, a shoddy Chinese NVR box broke the display’s main scaler chip by sending a voltage spike down the HDMI cable as it was being plugged in. It wasn’t an expensive display nor even mine (it was at the local hackerspace), but I was bummed out because it was one of the few good displays we had over there so I figured I’d see if I can fix it.
My knowledge of electronics isn’t great, though I’ve seen enough Louis Rossmann videos to know the basic principles, so I spent some time troubleshooting it with, and I expect this’ll get some flak given that this is Lemmy, the help of AI. I described the problem and what caused it to the AI, took some measurements off the board with its guidance and even figured out how to measure it with an oscilloscope to confirm the diagnosis. This way I could narrow the problem down to the main scaler chip – by all accounts a pretty common problem with this brand of monitor, though this one hadn’t failed so spectacularly.
I ordered a brand new chip from Aliexpress for a total of 15€. I did also find a full logic board on eBay, but it came to over 30€ with shipping and the photo showed it having red marker on top of the very chip I was looking to replace which made me suspect it could have failed QC or was torn out of a broken monitor, so I didn’t want to risk it.
After a couple of weeks the chip arrived and it was time to try my hand at BGA soldering for the first time ever. I couldn’t find a hot plate so I had to do the whole thing with just the hot air station making it harder than it should have been. I managed to tear off three pads taking the old chip off somehow and had to very carefully fix those with some fine copper wire carefully manipulated with tweezers and a crafts knife under the microscope. Against all odds after I got the new chip soldered in, the display worked perfectly on the first try. The success felt pretty ecstatic.
Is this from the same place or do all ramen restaurants just have confusingly similar tables and utensils?

Linux@lemmy.world•What are the worst distro-specific problems you have faced?English
7·13 days agoI don’t think I’ve ever faced a distro-specific problem when I really think about it. I’ve had headaches with SELinux on my Fedora Server machine, but those aren’t really a Fedora problem.
Packaging might be the only thing that qualifies, so I guess the only thing would be the occasional package conflict I’d get when I used RPMFusion’s Mesa builds and they fell behind the main Fedora repo’s dependencies.

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press ButtonEnglish
56·19 days agoWas not this already known after the release of Switch 2?
Yes, which is why this article is from 2025. Why OP is posting it now is anyone’s guess.
It’s gotten pretty successful the past couple of years and the studio has hired a lot more developers to work on it. There’s also a pretty big modding scene with lots of really cool mods.
For me, it’s Vintage Story which also runs natively on Linux.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Edward Snowden interview: 'Smartphones can be taken over' by GCHQ using activation programs
311·1 month agoPosting old-ass articles like this without a disclaimer should be against the rules.
Nothing really, they can eat it just fine. Bread is just poor in certain micronutrients that birds need, so if their diet is mostly bread (which is common for pond ducks) they can get a nutrient deficiency that may cause a condition called angel wing (the exact cause is apparently unknown).
They’re not attacking billionaire yachts though, instead it’s small sailing boats. Some of those are probably owned by fairly rich people, but probably not that rich.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Albums should be listened to in entirety as they are a single piece of art.
31·2 months agoThere are tons of concept albums where the songs do not directly connect to each other that still deserve to be listened to as a cohesive unit.
The “first real” tractor wasn’t invented in 1839 (that one wasn’t self-propelled, it was just a movable steam engine). The first actual self-propelled traction engine was produced in 1859, and obviously many traction engine-related inventions followed in the next couple of decades.
The plough page you linked earlier mentions several different kinds of ploughs being invented around 1873 – for example the stump-jump plough which was invented in 1876. It’s entirely possible that there was some kind of plough invented in 1873.
However, the most likely explanation is probably this: John Deere created the first steel plough in 1837. The author of this meme found this fact and mistakenly swapped the 3 and 7 around, arriving at 1873.
1873 would be around when tractors were invented, so it’s possible there was some specific kind of plough that was invented in 1873 that Google’s AI search result showed to whatever dimwit made this meme.










Isn’t the input lag going to be insane if the game runs at, say, 10 fps? This would have to come with some kind of new render pipeline where the simulation can somehow still run at a higher framerate.
