Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today
  • Dude Tc helicon dropped software support for the GoXLR 1 year ago, indeed the community continuing the support for this device was at first a GoXLR control software for Linux that, after some time, became a windows app too. https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/GoXLR-Utility

  • After 11 years, Xbox One emulators are finally coming to PC - but they're not actually using emulation at all

    Welcome to the first post in our "This Week in KDE Apps" series! You may have noticed that Nate's "This Week in KDE" blog posts no longer cover updates about KDE applications. KDE has grown significantly over the years, making it increasingly difficult for just one person to keep track of all the ch...

    Clean Up Your YouTube Subscriptions
  • Then I need to change email address for my bank account, and it would probably be a hassle to do.

  • Clean Up Your YouTube Subscriptions
  • No problem, my guy. I found myself in the same situation with over 1,000 subscriptions. After finalizing the script yesterday, I quickly unsubscribed from all of them, saving my time, mental health, and my mouse switches!

  • Clean Up Your YouTube Subscriptions
  • I have deleted my YouTube channel, but my subscriptions are still active. I can't delete my entire Google account because it contains important information that I don't want to lose.

  • Clean Up Your YouTube Subscriptions
  • I have a bone to pick with Instagram. The platform only allows me to remove 100 likes at a time, and I have to do it manually, post by post. Even though I haven't used their 'remove like' feature in months, attempting to do so now results always in an error. And just to clarify, I haven't used any scripts to remove my likes; I've always done it manually, yet Instagram continues to block me.

    GitHub - DomHeadroom/MassYoutubeUnsubscriber: Effortlessly unsubscribe from multiple YouTube channels with MassYoutubeUnsubscriber

    I needed to clean up my Google account but couldn't remove all my YouTube subscriptions because Google doesn’t allow it, SO FUCK YOU GOOGLE. I searched online for a solution but only found broken scripts. So, I made my own working script to unsubscribe from all channels efficiently. Sharing it here in case anyone else is in the same boat. Hope it helps!

    Can't change xbox controller settings without updating Windows first
  • I have a Elite controller v2 and I wasn't able to pair it on my laptop with arch, indeed I had to follow this instruction on their wiki https://atar-axis.github.io/xpadneo/#troubleshooting

    Use a Windows 10 computer on the same Bluetooth adapter to pair with the controller. It must absolutly be on the same Bluetooth adapter, i.e. the same computer (can be inside a virtual machine with Bluetooth passthrough) if it’s an internal Bluetooth adapter, or the same Bluetooth dongle. Then, you can get the pairing keys and install them within your Linux Bluetooth system.

  • Can't change xbox controller settings without updating Windows first
  • Tho if you watch carefully on the xpadneo wiki, if you want to pair a xbox elite v2 controller with bluetooth you first need to pair it on windows with the same bluetooth card to be able to use it!

  • Can't change xbox controller settings without updating Windows first
  • I've heard of it before, but the one thing preventing me from using it is my uncertainty about whether the mapping is done through software. Do I need Rewasd to always run in the background, or with the Elite V2 can I remap the key bindings directly on the controller without needing the software to be active?

  • Can't change xbox controller settings without updating Windows first
  • I'm not looking to update the firmware of the controller; rather, I want to customize certain settings, such as rebinding keys and adjusting actuation points. While some of these modifications can be done with third-party software on Linux, my controller inherently supports these features at the hardware level. Therefore, I don't see any reason not to take advantage of it

  • Can't change xbox controller settings without updating Windows first
  • However, as you can see, the creation dates for both the virtual disk of the VM and the Windows 10 ISO are August 2, 2024—just under nine days ago. I seriously doubt there is a significant Windows update that would prevent me from running Xbox Accessory without first updating my operating system

  • Can't change xbox controller settings without updating Windows first
  • I'm using linux, tho I wanted to reverse engineer the program to make the controller customizable under linux, but if I don't run windows I can't do that!
