Propaganda has lead a depressing number of people to believe exactly the opposite. MTG literally said, "what, you think Putin just decided to invade Ukraine?"

The Steam Link tried and succeeded at this. My guess is only technical people understood its use-case at the time. For hardware to do well on a large scale it needs to be standalone. You turn it on and immediately see the benefit of it. Can't be dependent on the customer's other hardware.

For me, I have intel integrated + amd discrete. When I tried to set DRI_PRIME to 0 it complained that 0 was invalid, when I set it to 2 it said it had to be less than the number of GPUs detected (2). After digging in I noticed my cards in /dev/dri/by-path were card1 card2 rather than 0 and 1 like everyone online said they should be. Searching for that I found a few threads like this one that mentioned simpledrm was enabled by default in 6.4.8, which apparently broke some kind of enumeration with amd GPUs. I don't really understand why, but setting that param made my cards number correctly, and prime selection works again.

I actually may have seen the same issue recently. Have you tried adding initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init to your kernel launch params?

Do you have two GPUs or do you fully switch to the VM while passed through?

Ok, I'm not crazy. I've been thinking I haven't seen updates on my desktop in a while too, but my laptop has been updating fine. I just updated mirrors using eos-welcome as others suggested and now I've got a couple gigs of updates ready 👍

I've tried lutris, I've tried bottles, I've tried Heroic. Heroic is the best experience I've had.

I forget the order 5 times in the middle of crimping each side, so you're doing better than me.

My parents bought one when I was in high school. I was so mad about it. Thought it was a huge waste of money.

Fast forward many years. I was right. Every year you have mandatory maintenance costs (like paying a subscription to keep something you supposedly own). The next part of the scam is that there are tiers of ownership; pay even more to get in a higher tier. Higher tiers get more "points" for booking rooms, and let you book rooms further in advance (12mo out instead of 11mo). If you don't upgrade, all the rooms you want are booked by the tier above you.

On the bright side, my dad is usually able to book rooms on big holidays, and then sell them for cash to cover the cost of maintenance fees. But the time share organization is aware of this practice and is trying to crack down on it, which seems like a breach of contract to me, even within their own scam.

Meanwhile, any time I travel, we just get an airbnb or vrbo and it's always at least 3x nicer for a similar cost, and I'm not on the hook for a bunch of debt and responsibility.

Not only is there btrfs support for Windows, but since windows and linux root structures don't conflict, someone got both arch and windows booting from the same partition. Is it a good idea? Hell no. But can it be done? Apparently yes.

A main reason youtube is so successful as an advertising product is their detailed metrics. Virtually every sponsor will want to see each video's metrics which show retention during different parts of the video. It would be the same as putting the ad at the end of an hour long video; if they see a huge drop off where almost no one sees the ad, they may decide the creator didn't fulfill their end of the contract, or pay them proportionally to the retention during the ad.
