  • 4 Tools to Share Large Files Over the Internet Securely
  • I never see toffeeshare mentioned. P2P, encrypted, no size limit. Only problem is you can't send folders, only files, but that's easily solved with tarballs or RARs.

  • Moto Edge 50 Ultra unveiled with SD 8s Gen 3, 64MP 3x periscope and real wood back
  • We get OEM Samsung batteries. Not for Oneplus last time I checked. The more popular the brand the higher the likelihood for original parts.

  • Moto Edge 50 Ultra unveiled with SD 8s Gen 3, 64MP 3x periscope and real wood back
  • I work at a phone repair shop (not Samsung certified), our suppliers sell us new genuine batteries. So maybe ask around at one near you. Or get one from ifixit, I replaced my Oneplus 6's battery with their aftermarket one and it works great.

  • Why do some 3D printer beds require turning knobs on the bottom for leveling?
  • WebKit is only open source because they forked KHTML to create it, which is licenced under LGPL

  • How to choose your first distro - A guide for beginners (flowchart + text post)
  • Not unintuitive, but thinking about it from a beginner standpoint, calamares-based systems are way easier to 'get'. These distros don't ask for domain names, proxies, usage surveys etc. This stuff isn't that complicated, but they add an extra level of things you need to worry about if you've never used Linux before, which is the kind of person who this flow chart is made for.

  • Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.
  • I've used ncmpcpp and more recently Cantata to replace foobar, not as much customization but it gets a lot of stuff right for me.

  • As a MagSafe fan, I can't wait for Qi2 to come to Android
  • Wouldn't say it's impossible. I've done it pretty often at work (tech support) and at home with sim eject tools, pointy tweezers, knitting needles etc. 5 minutes of patience and the port is like new. Just need to avoid the centre where the contacts are.

  • Android app maker Simple Mobile Tools acquired by ZipoApps
  • F-Droid probably won't accept any builds with adware/tracking in them, so probably we'll just stay on an old version until a fork or alternative comes along. There's also a toggle on my preferred F-Droid manager app (droid-ify) to ignore new versions

    Apple jacks prices to juice profits because $19.3B a quarter isn't enough
  • Thatā€™s just the materials used to make it though, what about R&D, software development, etc? I dislike apple but imo the phones are overpriced for a reason. Adding RAM or storage to their computers thoughā€¦ thatā€™s real price gouging.

  • Going from nvidia to amd
  • All of what you said is true, I'm just cheap. Don't feel like dropping money on a low end card just to have it struggle @1080p in new games and "mid" range still feels inflated. Might also be regional pricing where I live is just more expensive. Ever since Mindfactory stopped shipping outside germany I can't find decent online stores, local or otherwise.

  • Going from nvidia to amd
  • Not necessarily in the EU though, lol

    I've been checking out GPUs to replace my 1060 since the pandemic and still haven't found something compelling to upgrade to, price/performance wise. I guess I got spoiled by my 1060 but low end cards are anemic and mid tier is overpriced. 7700 and 7800 will hopefully be somewhat intersting.

  • In the article it mentions that the SoC might have been chosen because on it's extended software support of 8 years. Industrial tier electronics also usually cost more than consumer counterparts, so unlikely a cost cutting measure

  • [SOLVED] Question about flatpak, nvidia drivers and steam

    Edit: So after an exciting evening of uninstalling drivers, rebooting, playing a round of CSGO and starting over, I can report that nothing is broken. I haven't tried much other than a handful of games though. In the end I removed the drivers in batches, uninstalling all versions of a major version together (all 515.\, then 520.\, then 525.\* etc).

    Of note is that all the drivers I removed were the 32 bit versions, since the 64 bit one updated properly. This is what's left of the drivers, I believe these are all actually needed and I'm not comfortable removing any of them (and even if they're not needed the space savings would be minimal anyway): Name Application ID Version Branch Origin Installation Mesa org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 23.1.1 22.08 flathub system Mesa (Extra) org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default 23.1.1 22.08-extra flathub system nvidia-535-54-03 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-54-03 1.4 flathub system Mesa org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default 23.1.1 22.08 flathub system Mesa (Extra) org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default 23.1.1 22.08-extra flathub system nvidia-535-54-03 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-535-54-03 1.4 flathub system

    Original post:

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows why flatpak keeps tons of Nvidia driver versions installed. Currently on my Fedora install I have: Name Application ID Version Branch Origin Installation nvidia-510-68-02 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-510-68-02 1.4 flathub system nvidia-515-57 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-515-57 1.4 flathub system nvidia-515-65-01 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-515-65-01 1.4 flathub system nvidia-515-76 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-515-76 1.4 flathub system nvidia-520-56-06 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-520-56-06 1.4 flathub system nvidia-525-60-11 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-525-60-11 1.4 flathub system nvidia-525-78-01 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-525-78-01 1.4 flathub system nvidia-525-85-05 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-525-85-05 1.4 flathub system nvidia-525-89-02 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-525-89-02 1.4 flathub system nvidia-530-41-03 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-530-41-03 1.4 flathub system nvidia-535-54-03 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-535-54-03 1.4 flathub system

    A few months ago, when a new Nvidia update came out, usually what I'd do is update then run flatpak uninstall --unused, which would get rid of the older version no problem. As you can see, around driver version 510 this stopped working. If I try to remove them manually with eg. flatpak remove org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-510-68-02, I get this: Info: applications using the extension org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-510-68-02 branch 1.4: com.valvesoftware.Steam Really remove? [y/n]: My question is, is Steam actually using these drivers? Are these safe to remove? I'd like to get rid of them since they're bloating my root partition and updating 10 driver versions takes ages.
