PSA: pipewire has been halving your battery life for a year+
  • Nice okay, alright so just wondering what distro you running with and what hardware do you have?

    We can break it down from there to see if you are being affected or not.

    PSA: pipewire has been halving your battery life for a year+
  • Thank you for the reply. You are correct, I understand it's a system service and something that people wouldn't really notice if it's been updated or maybe their distro has recently migrated over from pulse audio. Hell maybe even unknowingly following some random guide while trying to do something or fix something. All that we know from OP is that they are asking how to tell if they are affected.

    My question was as basic and as generic as it could be. Has your battery life been quite poor as of late? As in have you had to plug in your system more throughout the day?

    Regardless of technical experience or aptitude most people would notice a change in the norm of using something they use daily. If they don't, there wouldn't be any questions and it would be the normal day to day.

    Now my thought process was to see what they said, yes or no for the battery life. And then to get more info to put together something they could follow and either confirm impact from the bug or not.

  • Hey not a problem dino, I get it your post is quite helpful.

    Now jog my memory, how did you help the person asking if they're affected by this bug or not?

    The 13 others that have a problem with my question also chose to not offer anything useful for ops question.

    Parody site ClownStrike refused to bow to CrowdStrike’s bogus DMCA takedown
  • Yes that's exactly what the person you replied to was saying.

    DMCA was built to save IP, however it's routinely abused and used for censorship. And not a single thing is done to the abusers so they continue with their nonsense.

    Canadian company at the centre of alleged international pyramid scheme: authorities
  • Lol our own government partakes in such activities on the regular. RCMPs little statement is fucking hilarious.

    For example take a look at arrivecan, the COVID tests that were rushed into approval, the charity(?) thing with Trudeau.

    Now don't get me wrong these crypto scammers are just as shit however, one of these scenarios you can avoid with some due diligence.

    Why Biking to Work Might Be the Best Decision You Ever Make
  • A place, not an object. Also kettles don't hit 100. The water inside gets to 100. Actually let me add a side note. Depending on where you are in the world as well as the water you use it might not even hit the full 100.

    Google is close to making its biggest acquisition ever | CNN Business
  • Well technically it's not Google, it's their mother company Alphabet. Tons of companies are built up like this.

    I get what you are implying but it's quite the norm.

    "The Market"
  • You also on a bandwagon for the price of fuel? Food? Transportation? Taxes? How about the fees you pay your bank for having an account?

    While I agree that there are a ton of bad landlords sadness is there is no decrease in price anywhere. Insurance, property taxes, cost of repairs/enhancement, maintenance.

    The majority of renters would have difficulty keeping up financially even before the price spike during COVID when rates were low. Now both the price and mortgage rates have gone up and fucked everything even more.

    Anyway back to my point why is this the sword you actively choose to fall on when I believe it's one of the smaller problems to be ranting about.
