I’ve been using screenfetch.

This is the first I’ve heard of the MIG. Seems like a good solution for making backups of games for safe keeping on my PC. I attempted to hack my switch a while back in order to dump my games for that exact reason but could never get it to work properly. Thanks for making me aware of this device, Nintendo!

Def not my cup of tea… It looks awful. But if they’re happy with it, that’s all that matters I suppose.

IDK man, I’ve been using it exclusively on my main desktop at home and I’ve been getting along just fine with those “not particularly good” applications.

I dicked around with the VM route for a while and could never really get it working 100% to my liking. There was always a trade-off. I ended up just getting a second PC and tucking it in a cabinet out of sight. When I need Windows I just use remote desktop to connect to it.

I just recently had a wfh user ship me one of his monitors back because we had exhausted every thing I could think of troubleshooting-wise. When it arrived I unboxed it, plugged it in and the damn thing worked fine. I followed up with him and finally realized he had been trying to push the damn power LED instead of the actual power button.

On top of that the actual article is a big nothing-burger. Not worth reading beyond the title.

I believe they created it before tap really took off in the US so scan was a better option for them at the time.

It’s scan to pay at Walmart because they gave their own payment system called “Walmart pay” and it sucks.

Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.

It’s a work laptop. My personal stuff is running FOSS.

Agreed. Seems the notification tray in Windows is just a catch-all for spam (mostly from MS themselves)

Exactly. It’s pseudo code. It’s meant to be universally understandable, not language specific.

They have their uses. In particular they’re useful for easily getting applications your system repositories don’t have or getting more up to date version of applications. Downsides are certainly the space all the redundant dependencies take up and the sandboxing can be a PITA especially if you have an application that needs to run another application. Overall I think they’re the best “third party” package system available but they’re not great.

App Images do suck, but I don’t think flatpak is much better. It’s more of a lesser of two evils situation. Snap isn’t even in the conversation.

Good luck finding a 65 inch computer monitor

I have one of these on every TV in my house and they’re great!

For anyone who’s curious, I went ahead and created a “default” project with the title I normally use already setup on the timeline. That way when I start a new project I can just copy the default template and my title with animations is already there ready to go. Just need to modify the text and it’s good. It’s not a perfect solution, and certainly wouldn’t work for someone who desires to use different or multiple titles per project, but it’s good enough for me. Here’s what it looks like: https://youtu.be/dlGUT0c46Ts

Nailed it. I didn’t even think to check that… I’ll have to see if I can find a workaround. Thanks!

haha, yeah figuring out those ffmpeg flags is an absolute nightmare. My problem there isn’t so much the output format from Resolve, but source format I’m using. My camera only has the option to record in H.264/H.265 (consumer grade, what can you expect?) which Resolve can’t properly import on Linux. I could take the time to transcode them with ffmpeg before editing, but I’m usually working with ~2 hours worth of video per project and I don’t really want to wait all day for a transcode job to finish before I can even begin editing. On top of that my camera (rather neatly) generates its own proxy files while recording, and I’ve found leveraging these is necessary for getting good timeline performance on my aging rig. Now I could let Resolve generate its own proxy clips like I have in the past, but that’s more time waiting around before editing. I was SUPER stoked to see Kdenlive can natively utilize the proxy clips my camera generates.
