Also, you’re digressing.

I merely consider it necessary to function in modern society, and hence a service a government might conceivably provide.

You really like making assumptions about what I mean, and twisting my words, huh?

You classify email and internet search as non-essential?

And what does how they are classified have to do with the ability/inability of government to provide them in a sufficient manner?

You claimed something that HAS HAPPENED, could not. There’s no comeback here for you to find.

Those are some pretty specific additional qualifiers. Did I hit a nerve?

I’m responsing to someone claiming governments inherently cannot be good providers of essential services, which is patently untrue.

The nordics are home to numerous government institutions, providing a variety of services that are perfectly satisfactory, and often excellent.

Are you claiming that email or search engines not being among them today, means the rest mean nothing, or that they never will be?

If the current services are anything to go by, those things getting added to the list, will be fucking great.

You shouldn’t need to remap anything. And PCSX2 should be able to tell that it’s a DS5.

Are you sure you’re not mixing up the actual controller with what PCSX2 is pretending the controller is, which by default is a DS2 (this can be set to other stuff that isn’t a DS2, like a guitar hero controller).

To configure an input device, you’d go into the controller settings, of course. There are separate settings for controller 1 and 2. In the top right of either, there should be a drop down for assigning a device to be that controller. That’s where you select the DS5.

I live in the nordics, would you like a list?

The Vita was great, but I didn’t really get into more than a handful of games until SD2VITA became available. (The adaptor allowing the use of an SD card through the game slot).

Sure, then you can’t use game cards, but who needs those now that you dump games and keep your entire library on that one SD card, ready to go anytime, for pennies?

If that had been how it worked from the start, I would have bought so many more games. The library started off decent, and aventually got really damn good.

But a lot was digital only, especially the indie stuff, so at the time, getting new games was like pulling teeth.

I only got it to play WipEout 2048, but Gravity Rush turned out to be one of my all time favorite games, and Killzone Mercenaries showed me the genius of gyro aim before anyone else had even heard of it.

The timestamp in the coffeezilla video.

Watch the whole thing for more detail.

Any DPI above a couple thousand is more than enough. Lots of people play at low DPIs (400-800) because it actually allows for more precision in some scenarios by making very large hand movements into very small in-game movements.

It’s more about what the tracking quality on a given sensor is like. With a good sensor, you get consistent mouse-to-pixel movement, so that the same movement always results in exactly the same input. That is what allows you to make mouse movement something you can train your muscle memory to do. Once you no longer have to think about it, you can perform actions in games faster than you’re able to think.

Logitech sensors have been REALLY good for years now, and the Roccat Kova was also a mouse I chose specifically due to the sensor in it being known to have consistent tracking performance.

That said, the problem on that mouse wont be the sensor. It’ll be the polling rate. Which might be fine, but it isn’t disclosed in the specs, which is something all gaming mice do.

Logitech G Pro, maybe? Any logitech mouse should work with OpenRGB for turning the lights off.

I’m not sure the G Pro has the sideways scrollwheel buttons, but I would consider binding a g-shift key with a second layer, where you bind the scrollwheel to scroll sideways, that way you have the same level of control for both types of scrolling. (Piper should let you do these keybind changes.)

Also, see if enabling autoscroll helps you out. That’s a setting that’s off by default in Firefox on linux. It’s the feature where you click the middle mouse, and it makes mouse movement scroll the page continuously depending on how far you move the mouse from the point where you clicked. That works up, down, left, right, and even diagonally.

I used to use a Roccat Kova and loved it. Only stopped to go wireless with a G305. The Kova might also fit your needs. Great sensor with great button layout, but unfortunately also has rgb. Not sure if it works with OpenRGB, but it’s on the very subtle side.

Glances at the child gambling enabled by the steam marketplace, an issue being blatantly ignored by Valve leadership.

Buddy, I don’t know how to tell you this. I love Valve for all the good they do, but they got some serious skeletons, too.

Valve representatives were asked point blank if the third party gambling sites have a positive influence on their bottom line, and the dude replying sweated bullets for several seconds before nervously going “we… don’t have any data on that” while the rest stared daggers at him.

Coffeezilla has a recent video on the situation.

But I was a lot less knowledgeable then than now so it may have some degree of user error.

TBF, eerything getting deleted should be straight up impossible no matter what the user does.

Did you ever find out what the actual cause was there?

Nothing like this has ocurred for me in over a year of use. And if it does, my nexycloud data folder is on a btrfs volume with regular snapshots, and backed up onto off-site storage.

If it’s still a problem I’d love to replicate and help with a fix.

I used to use google keep, and also struggled to find something which would work between my phone and desktop.

Eventually Nextcloud notes improved enough to be the replacement that satisfies.

It’s all markdown, existing as files in your nextcloud folder. That meant exporting my google keep was easy.

The desktop and mobile app are both simple but sufficient IMO. Make sure to install the rich text editor app for nextcloud, or you’ll have to write plaintext markdown.

The downside is that if you don’t already run nextcloud, setting it up is beyond overkill. Then again, you may find use for the many, many other things it can do, too.

They are genuinely useful devices, in that they simplify the process of running what is essentially a home server, down to something the average person can pull off by just buying a box and slotting some drives into it, then use a simple UI to configure whatever basic services they like.

For just the hardware, they’re absolutely robbery. You’re paying for the software to hold your hand. If you don’t need that, they’re pretty much pointless.

I don’t remember what program it was but I once went to configure something, and the command to “open settings” essentially just opened a text file in vim.

Being a nano scrub that took me a second to get out of.

That would be my assumption.

You don’t see much redundancy in motherboards, so OP is off in that regard.

Rather, a lot of parts are non-critical because not every single one is needed to begin with. Unless you actually populate every single connector and port on a motherboard, a lot of it is doing nothing.

Looks like maybe the copper pad came off for one of the contacts.

In that case a resolder might be a pain, and require some extra work to expose more of the trace.

I think it’s fine.

The first party device has existed over a year now, proved its worth, and become more widely understood by gamers.

Android suffers from fragmentation, sure, but it being used by a variety of manufacturers hasn’t stopped people from understanding that android is android, and can do similar things whether you buy a phone/tablet for 200 bucks, or 2000.

A laptop is a great place to start.

I like using desktop components as I’ve been able to incrementally upgrade the ram, CPU, and drives as the years go by. A lot of people also really like using single board computers.

The only thing I’d recommend against are pre-built NASes. Theyre proprietary AF and so overpriced for what you get if you don’t need the handholding of the consumer NAS software.

One thing I recommend doing, is keeping step by step notes on everything you set up, and keep a list of files and folders you’d need to keep to easily run whatever you’re running on a new system.

That way, moving to a new system, changing your config, or reinstalling the OS is so much easier. A couple years down the line you’ll be thanking yourself for writing down how the hell you configured that one thing years back.

Almost every problem I’ve had was due to me not accounting for some quirk of my config that I’d forgotten about.

And that would apply with a VPS, too, if you end up going that route.
