This Windows 11 Start menu change is now coming to Windows 10
  • Linux can mount windows drives (I don't recommend it, but it can if you need a file).

    Windows cannot mount Linux drives (in theory ext2fsd can do it but it's massive pain and it no longer works for me).

    If you install a game, either it works on Linux out of the box (it's native) or it works under proton, in which case steam will take care of that for you in most cases and at worst you have to change a single setting. Visit protondb to learn what games work and don't work on Linux.

    Crew 2 is on sale for a dollar on Steam, Epic, Xbox, & PlayStation until 23rd of September
  • It's not incredible. The crew 2 is overall a very okay game that didn't need to exist, they could have easily remastered the crew 1 and make a better game. The coop is basically you get to play through any race including most story related ones with members of your party and if someone from your party wins you all get the progression. This means nothing as progressing is generally quite easy since the bots usually have way worse cars than you because getting parts upgrades is easy. Also the story isn't anything to write home about, it's the now classic "influencer drives car good", unlike the crew 1 which at least tried.

    Crew 2 is on sale for a dollar on Steam, Epic, Xbox, & PlayStation until 23rd of September
  • I've finished all missions.

    Honestly? It's fine. The game is worse than the crew 1 (the map is considerably smaller despite both depicting the US, and the upgrade system feels worthless), but I've never felt the need to pay to get anything, and beyond 1 pop up on login, I've never even looked or been made to look at the store. If you're after top performance in online races then probably most people in the top of the rankings paid to be there, but imo the crew 2 is simply not a good multiplayer competition game. For solo or coop, you'll outclass the bots most of the time, the challenge is against yourself.

    Mirror seeing half the write IOPS on one disk than the other, is this normal?
  • It's a gigabyte ab350m gaming-3 rev 1.0. it boots grub fine but then crashes right after displaying "loading Linux 6.x", CPU led flashes then dram led stays on, I have to turn it off with the PSU switch.

    Either it's a rev 1.0 bug which is a thing on those motherboards, or the CPU (or igpu) is defective.

    https://superuser.com/questions/1854228/proxmox-doesnt-boot-after-cpu-change

    I'm currently waiting on support from both the seller and gigabyte but I don't expect anything out of it, though I'm still yet to test it in a different motherboard.

  • Oh wow congrats, I'm currently in the struggle of stretching an ab350m to accept a 4600G and failing.

    You're right, you should hit PCIe 3 speeds and it's weird, but the fact that the drives swap speeds depending on how they're plugged in points to either drivers or the chipset.

    Mirror seeing half the write IOPS on one disk than the other, is this normal?
  • I'm not fully familiar with the overheads associated with all things going on on a chipset, but it's not unreasonable to think that this workload, plus whatever the chipset has to do (hardware management tasks mostly), as well as the CPU's other tasks on similar interfaces that might saturate the IO die/controller, would influence this.

    B350 isn't a very fast chipset to begin with, and I'm willing to bet the CPU in such a motherboard isn't exactly current-gen either. Are you sure you're even running at PCIe 3.0 speeds too? There are 2.0 only CPUs available for AM4.

  • It might be that the data to both disks saturates a common link before the second disk reaches full iops capability, and thus the driver then writes at full speed on one disk and at half speed on the other, for twice as long.

    Any good games that break the mold
  • I heard good word about Paradise Killer, in which you're also a detective and must figure out the truth

    The outer wilds is amazing. You should play it.

    The Evolution Of Sim City
  • My hot take was that once it stopped being online-only, SimCity 2012 was actually quite an ok game. It got abandoned and has a bit of a balance problem (you can never ever ever build enough housing), and I'm not saying the game is perfect but it's quite serviceable and it looks very good, especially with the DLC. Personally I enjoyed it a lot, despite it's issues.

    [Official] Concord shutting down - Everyone who bought it will get refund
  • Functionally no, the game doesn't appear to have crazy massive bugs.

    It's just another bland live service hero shooter, that was extremely poorly advertised (personally I never heard of it until a week after it came out). I think Sony thought that it's presence in their playstation store was enough to get it enough traction (to be entirely fair that did work with other, better games) to spread through word of mouth, but that requires the game is good.

    Workers in Japan can’t quit their jobs. They hire resignation experts to help
  • ... We do. I'd definitely resign from a place that expects me to spend 12 hours at work, and it's illegal for the company for you to do too much overtime (the limit it 35 hours per year, doublable once if the employee asks the local authority in writing)

  • hey all, i'm looking to replace my isp's router (i know that i can, it's basically just DHCP on a specific VLAN) with my own one and i'm looking for recommendations.

    here's what i would need out of it:

    • best price-to-performance ratio. the larger the NAT table it can keep in RAM the better (i run some things akin to ipv4 scanning)
    • OpenWRT support
    • at least one sfp port for internet access, supporting 5Gb/s.
    • at least one 1 Gb/s ethernet port
    • ideally 2-3 100Mb/s ethernet ports
    • wifi support: yes (don't need anything fancy, even 5GHz is optionnal but preffered)
    • LTE modem: dont care but nice to have

    i had a look around the OpenWRT supported devices table but since it doesn't really list ports and i need sfp, it takes a long time to go through and read german router pages.

    can anyone recommend a router that meets these at least partially?

    If you're a Lemmy dev and reading this, the problem is in pict-rs. I have sent an email to asonix with the needed changes, please tell them to check their inbox (since I can't register on their git server, I can't submit a formal PR).

    Send me a PM if the email gets lost and I'll give you the line you need.

    If you're not a Lemmy dev: Have you encountered an image that is suspiciously rotated here on Lemmy? Perhaps you even tried posting an image that looks right yourself and found it rotated itself! Why?!

    The reason is that Lemmy strips all metadata from images you upload to it. This is because image metadata can contain, among other things, GPS coordinates or where it was taken. The problem is that when you take a picture with your phone in landscape, instead of rotating the image in memory, your phone saves the image sideways (because that's how it came off the sensor) and then adds a metadata tag that tells everyone to rotate the image as they are displaying it. You guessed it, that tag also gets deleted. In most cases, this is fine because either the picture wasn't rotated to begin with, or Lemmy image hosts actually save the properly rotated image before stripping the tag, but in some image formats, this isn't the case due to a programming oversight. I have found the fix and sent it to the person responsible for the image hosting code.
