Because expensive headphones tend to have drivers with higher impedance, meaning they produce less volume at the same current versus a lower impedance set.

That’s true for wired headphones, at least. For anything wireless, they have a secondary amplifier not in your phone, so then the phone really really has no idea.

It’s kind of fascinating: the Steam Deck is the only device I can think of with a “halo effect” that doesn’t involve giving a company more money: the ecosystem it pulls you into is an open one, and you don’t even have to have purchased a Deck to jump in based on the idea alone.

Mandrake. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. But I did get it installed.

I’m sure all the “now we are gonna manufacture iPhones in the US!” conservatives will raise their displeasure with this any day now.

Something something about showing connections between points in a circle… the chocolate starfish of life.

Happens to me all the time on a VPN.

It isn’t every IP. I just change tunnels.

I used to have a side system with /home on its own partition precisely to learn different distros and setups. It makes it much easier having a partition which is retained.

These days, qemu is your friend for playing around with random Linux stuff.

Yes, bigger than that. I have tried Clementine.

I really just want a media player that:

1. Has good media library support based on tags (lots do)

2. Has ReplayGain support (lots do)

3. Lets me have an album art panel bigger than a thumbnail (and here is where so many options fall short, including Rhythmbox)

Deadbeef seems to be the closest due to its good customizability, but the plugin which allows for actual media library capability is apparently Mac-only, for some unfathomable reason.

Gonna be stuck with Foobar via Wine for a fair sight longer, I think.

I tend to use food names, like tomato and sausage. But no potato, and definitely no apple.

I also utilize the special-use domain home.arpa for all my LAN systems, so accidental collisions are largely impossible.

If When

Whew, good thing I heard there will be no new wars with Trump as US president

Maybe it has to be vim in emacs on an emac

I suspect the world would collapse into some kind of singularity if someone ever ran vim on an emac.

It’s just a matter of time as so many corporate products and services enshittify. That, plus FOSS’ main issue is the average person not having any idea what it is or what it means.

While I hope I’m wrong, I agree this thing will go the way of most Kickstarters. It is interesting, but it will never have appeal outside of the hobby space, and the cash needed to get this thing off the ground will be immense.

If that keyboard module isn’t extremely securely attached on there, I can 100% guarantee it is breaking in my pocket.

Would have much preferred if they were going to have just one base unit with keyboard. Other modules could fit over that.

The mouse cursor showing up correctly rules out a physical connection issue to the screen.

What is supposed to be on the screen right now? Is it just the deskop, an app, a game… ? That might provide more insight.

But I’d guess a hardware issue off the bat. Something with the GPU, or perhaps more specifically with VRAM.
