I got 5-6 reports then stopped extracting the image because I got scared. Mostly PUP and info stealers, maybe 1 trojan.

I used WinXP till '19 with no signs of infections. Just extracting the .wim image of the PC was enough to trigger Defender on Win10. It was infected.

BCM4360 doesn’t work reliably for me even to this day

Now imagine Linux withmitigations=off

I had to set up an app on Wine + macOS, the app spawns bg processes that have a window (on Wine, not on Windows) for some reason and each time that happens the main window app loses focus. Couldn’t solve it. On Linux + Plasma Wayland the problem is inverse ie. even the main window doesn’t have an icon on taskbar, if you minimize it you can restore with only Alt + Tab.

people who install Windows on their Steam Deck?

I see this way too often, nearly half of the 2nd hand Decks sold here have Windows🤷‍♂️

https://manjarno.pages.dev/ Manjaro’s Pamac took AUR down twice, also their website had its SSL certs expire 4 times

Wine can run 32 bit apps on Catalina & newer with WoW64, only native 32 bit prefixes got busted. Ironically I had one such prefix on Mojave, now the Mac has only Linux but the OS + Wine prefix is backed up twice.

No you can’t, 1 version of Google Play is bundled with the system image and cannot be removed. But you can uninstall updates and disable it to remove the automatically updated copy of Google Play.

I was installing Linux on sb else’s PC, to skip the Bitlocker warning I had to boot Windows, use cmd to assign drive letters to recovery partitions and disable bitlocker on them, again from cmd. The owner was confused because they had disabled bitlocker on C: but got Bitlocker warning on Linux installer anyways, I was looking at stackoverflow threads to find the right commands right next to the owner because I hadn’t used Windows for years and forgot how to do things lol. Fun times.

Why does it have more RAM than storage?

“Mission complete” sound on Space Cadet Pinball

Ubo prevents ad resources from being loaded, not loading / rendering ads at all makes a major difference in battery and bandwidth usage in my experience. Most notably bandwidth usage drops by %90 in most extreme cases.

I read the title and thought it referred to Xenia the Xbox 360 emulator which recently gained Linux support, that didn’t make sense.

2013 Macbook, that is still getting security updates and is totally usable

How? My 2015 MBA doesn’t get any updates afaik but it’s not on latest supported OS so I’m not sure. Did you use OCLP?

I was confused by #1 before I got a grasp of Lemmy then I realized lemmy.world is the largest instance and I can just sign up here.

I had os-prober fail if locale was Turkish, the seperator thing could explain that.

Are you teaching in university? Also you said “%99 of students uses ChatGPT”, are there really very few people who don’t use AI?

3M Steam Deck users vs 100M+ Switch users: Yes.

I still remember the DDoS attacks
