  • Looking for ngrok alternative

  • This seems like it might be a perfect use case for Tailscale. The open source version of the control plane is called Headscale but you'd have to host it in a vps somewhere if you wanted to use it.

  • What do you mean? Its easy!

    Teams White and Purple=hotmail

    Teams Purple and White=365 for business

    Teams Lavender (new)=Electron App

    Teams Mauve (with Knuckles)=Teams except you are talking exclusively to Copilot AI

    Teams Royal Purple (360 Edition)= Used by the Kansas City Royals baseball team

    Teams Periwinkle= Codename for Slack

  • Former Xbox boss Peter Moore says Gen Z may reject new consoles in favor of smartphones and PCs

    Jump

  • I think a lot of enthusiasts miss out on this point. Its trivial for me to install a Linux distro or custom windows software that's fully managed my controller input but my buddies that have PlayStation s would panic if they encountered a bios screen or a config file.

    There's a market for steam machines but they need to be basically a steam deck with a power supply, an HDMI output and a controller or it will be a non-starter for most people.

  • Former Activision Boss Bobby Kotick Wants To Buy Tiktok: Report

  • Whew! Add in someone from Raytheon and Elon Musk and we have ourselves a real-life Legion of Doom.

  • Failing to properly evacuate the city during a Tsunami because its easier just to clean up afterwards (Cities Skylines).

  • 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sense as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet...

    Jump

  • I was genuinely convinced they offered 10gig service in some markets. Doesn't surprise me that its all marketing nonsense.

    Just a tip for anyone who wants to know, if you have Comcast business internet they'll tell you you have to use their modem but, you can swap it out with a 3rd patty modem and use the live chat service to get it activated. Then you can send back their modem for free at a ups store. Every salesperson will tell you its not possible but it absolutely is.

  • Fedora members plan on creating a Cosmic Desktop Spin

    Jump

  • I can't wait. As long as they keep the autotiling feature working as well as it does now I'm down.

  • Need help converting dumb switches; one w/o any lights, one w/ Hue bulbs

    Jump

  • I didn't realize it was that recent of an addition to the NEC. Weve only lived in super old houses where everything was always needing completely redone. I was usually replacing 2 conductor and cloth-jacketed stuff everywhere.

    That was around 2012 and I remember the electrician we hired at the time mentioned it being a thing so that makes sense.

  • Fedora members plan on creating a Cosmic Desktop Spin

    Jump

  • This is pretty much my setup anyway. I run Pop Shell on top of Fedora and add dash to dock.

    I'm just absolutely hooked on the autotiling built into pop shell.

    If its an official spin all the better.

  • Need help converting dumb switches; one w/o any lights, one w/ Hue bulbs

    Jump

  • Current national electrical code in the US (since the 1980s) is a neutral in every switch box. Before then a switch loop was allowed so you see a lot of older construction with those.

    You also see newer construction with those where Uncle Dave™ decided it was easier to only have to run a wire down from the light rather than fish it up through the crawlspace, NEC be damned.

  • AMD Quietly Funded A Drop-In CUDA Implementation Built On ROCm: It's Now Open-Source

    Jump

  • This is the sort of thing that to me highlights the inherent inefficiency of proprietary software and processes.

    "Oh sorry, you'll need our magic hardware in order to run this software. It simply can't happen any other way."

    Turns out that wasnt true which of course it isn't.

    Imagine instead of everyone could have been working together on a fully open graphics compute stack. Sure, optimize it for the hardware you sell, why not, but then it's up to the "best" product instead of the one with the magic software juice.

  • Intel Arc Graphics A580 / A750 / A770 Linux Performance For Early 2024 Review

    Jump

  • The latest round of AMD apus generated a fair amount of debate about how for the same money you could get a cheap CPU and GPU and best it in most tests.

    I think Intel would really shine there especially the A750 since it has a lot of quality hardware features including AV1 encoding.

  • Trouble with Handbrake, PopOS and Accelerated AV1

  • I tried this and also had no luck. Oh well.

  • Wow this music player app is simple and does everything it should.

    Random Commenter: why won't it play video?

    MBA: Why isn't this a subscription service?

  • This guy has a good take on linux companies, agree or disagree?

    Jump

  • I think a lot of people get caught up in wanting Linux to "win" be getting more market share or getting XYZ software ported to Linux but Linux is doing great. Unlike Microsoft aggressively pushing Windows and sacrificing their own users on the altar of market share, Linux can just be.

    More share would be great and greater software availability would be awesome but Linux doesn't need to "beat" Windows or Mac to be useful or relevant or good. It already is. And I for one look forward to any new DE's that anyone wants to make.

    It would be nice to get some kind of more usable CAD program on Linux though but it's not up to Pop_OS to do that, it's up to Autodesk or a team of extremely talented FOSS programmers or a Blender Foundation situation where the whole industry commits to a new open standard.
