Troubleshooting a desktop that does not go into sleep mode/suspend
  • Hello, I'm far from an expert but I had a similar issue on my desktop, running mint and an Nvidia GPU. After looking at a lot of places for an answer one that did work for me was below

    Ust/bin/Nvidia_sleep.sh. (off the top of my head it is something like this, can confirm later if you can't find it.)

    At the top put in "exit 0"

    See if it works for you. But it seems when I get an update it does at times get overwritten.

  • Microsoft looking to restrict kernel level access after CrowdStrike incident might help us with our current Anti-Cheat dilemma
  • Why not have a structure in place that has Microsoft review/test code from third parties. At the end of the day it is Microsoft that took the public hit so they should be the last line of defence in this process.

    Those that wish to have their code sit at the privileged/kernel level should either pay up or supply Microsoft with resources to do the tests Microsoft would require.

    What shouldn't happen is third parties doing their work at a privileged level without the oversight.

  • Hundreds of CSIRO jobs under threat as union warns against ‘gutting’ of Australia’s science agency
  • Although the CSIRO should get all the funding it requires, above some other things we seemingly throw money at. Some of these positions mentioned in the article looking at being reduced aren't science positions...just HR/management related, in that case I have no issues. Lets fund Science not Managers.

  • Are you registered to donate your organs? Why or why not?
  • Look to be honest I don't agree with your stance but I respect the fact that you both don't wish to donate and more importantly receive. I fell some people would be quite happy to take but not give.

  • As Gaza deaths hit 25,000, China calls for international ceasefire conference
  • I'm not so sure that you are as unbiased as you believe, in fact I think I'm chatting with a bot. I mean you are citing/cherry picking info that supports your cause, but I can also cherry pick info to the contrary regarding China's response to the Russian-Ukraine War.

    Let's agree that unless any Country comes out and says: In response to the Israel-Palestine conflict ........STOP immediately! In response to the Russian-Ukraine War ........STOP immediately!

    Then they are just as bad. And that goes for all the Countries.

  • As Gaza deaths hit 25,000, China calls for international ceasefire conference
  • Thanks for your reply. Although the slides above show a division within Ukraine caused by his history etc. This was ostensibly one country going to war against another for the should purpose it seems to occupy.

    In the case of the Israel/Palestine conflict, this was basically a terrorist group attacking Israel and now Israel retaliating over and above what should be considered acceptable.

    So why wouldn't China be more or at least just as vocal in calling for a cease fire and return to normality. Which was the basis of my original question.

    I understand their are subtleties and many more parts at play, but let's just say STOP to Israel and Russia.

  • Is it possible to make a world where countries are driven by concern of people as a whole rather than separate national interests?
  • Yeah I see what your saying and COVID did test us like never before but;

    -We had a nation blatantly allow their citizens to spread throughout the world (I assume because they were not wanting to admit they had a problem).

    -We had a somewhat coordinated effort (but was thwarted due to political gain/manouevering in a lot of countries).

    -I think the selfishness, at least in my country started pretty much straight away. And made it harder the whole way through.

    These points above, in my mind were enough to show me that we really can't together when it counts. Another example is global climate change, we are staring that in the face and we still can't get it together.

    I imagine seeing on the news NEWSFLASH: Aliens have arrived and seem threatening..... We wold have;

    -One country trying to make friends with said aliens to gain an upper hand.

    -Another country trying to be the worlds hero and go it alone by attacking them.

    -Governments quickly trying to take their chance at gaining their last bit of control by clamping down on citizens.

    -Nations trying to help themselves only and foregoing other nations (eg. Yeah nuke that nation to save ours)

    I do hope we do better but past experience doesn't give me hope.

  • Is it possible to make a world where countries are driven by concern of people as a whole rather than separate national interests?
  • I had this discussion with my work colleagues before COVID was a thing. I asked the question along the lines of "If aliens were to come to earth and pose an existential threat could you see the world uniting as one"

    I don't believe so. I think although we would weakly work together the big world players still could not put aside their issues and trust enough to get the job done.

    Then COVID occurred and I brought this question back up citing that even a global pandemic couldn't generally get us to put aside our differences and work for the benefit of the world.

    In the back of each countries head would be "How do I as a country emerge from this threat as the dominate force".
