I don't like horror games but Viscera Cleanup Detail I can accapt.

The only horror elements are the aftermath of a big and bloody gun fight and you're tasked to clean up the mess. ;p

There are 2 types of companies, the ones who have been hacked the the ones which don't know they've already been hacked g about to be hacked.

If you're curious about the company Clearview AI, check out the book "Your face belongs to us" by Kashmir Hill. It's an interesting read.

Back in the early days of Win10, an updated messed up my system and I ended up with duplicated icons. Wasn't happy, but didn't feel that it was that big of a deal to warrant a full reinstall.

2 years ago I built myself a new desktop and decided to try installing Linux straight away. Haven't looked back since.

Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.

Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I'm still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.

Also listen to Linux Game Cast.

I hane lost the use of so many Android app I paid for because they were delistd from the Play store. Not happy.

I now resort to creating a backup apk for my most usd ones. I also create a backup befors updating. Never know if an update will break something or even worse, remove a feature.

I have it on my Asus Zenfone 8 too. Sad to tink that my next phone upgrade will likely not have the 3.5mm port anymore. :(

Good point but people have been driving to and from the outback long before the arrival of the connected car. Except the car, nothing else has changed much and it's still possible to drive around with a "basic" car. Besides, there's always the mobile phone if connectivity is required.

Consider the possibility that they are selling the data collected from you for a profit and using part of those profits to pay for the cellular service.

If Apple had kept the 3.5mm port, we'd all probably still be having it on our phones and not have to deal with flimsy adapters.

 

I have an Acer XV340CKP monitor connected via Display Port to my GPU. I also have a old LG W2253TQ that I use as a secondary display. It only has a DVI and VGA port. I have a DVI-DVI cable together with a DVI-Display Port converter to connect to my GPU, which is an Asus RX6900XT. I am running Nobara 38.

I have observed that if I were to have my Acer monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the monitor buttons do not respond. None of the menu buttons, not even the power button responds. When I switch off the desktop, the monitor stays on. The only way to power it down is to unplug the power cable.

However, if I were to only have the LG monitor powered when I switch on my desktop, all the buttons on the Acer monitor works.

I believe everything was working previously in Nobara 37. I think this issue probably started happening in the recent month or two.

Is this even possible, where the graphics card sends a malformed signal to the monitor and prevents the buttons from working?
