Oops, I linked the 65". They have that same display in 45 and 50" as well

Wha?.. Math hard you go ungabunga? California population has 38 million. That's only 8 million more than Texas.

Also, voting wouldn't be by state anyway, so it wouldn't matter? Not all 38 million Californians will vote the exact same way.

I mean it's 4k HDR at 60Hz with an 8k:1 contrast ratio. You can see the specs on the page - seems picture quality is pretty good to me for the price.

But if you want something even fancier and have the budget for it, even LG has business displays without all the telemetry in OLED.

Unfortunately no.

The best option if you want a new tv without this stuff is buying a business display, such as here:

https://www.sharpnecdisplays.us/products/displays/m651-2

This one even comes with a Raspberry Pi compute module.

You have to specifically search display and not TV.

Like an actual ring you can wear? What's it called?

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Just look at some of the comments.

A lot are still "the OS is great you're the issue" (nvm that clean installs sometimes have these issues) or "git gud scrub" or "just post some error logs" even though that gets a reply maybe half the time (which gets again into expecting something the average person wouldn't know how to do btw, which is a problem if you want better adoption) or "but Windoze does has problems111!".

The reality is that Linux still can't be stably used for a lot of standard things: new(and newish) hardware, printing, lack of good UI design in many programs, and to a degree gaming (it's been massively improved there though thanks to Proton).

Yeah, Windows has problems. But those arise more typically for advanced users (and that's including Windows 11 being more and more broken over time).

If you just want to browse the internet and use some office apps, with no dual booting, it'll just work. That's the reality of it, and it makes sense considering it's supported by a multi billion dollar company.

I know Linux for desktop has come a long way (I remember the Slackware days). But until the more boring stuff gets worked out, it'll still be hard for it to be used more commonly, and thus harder for it to get more funding and usage as well. That's why I think Linux is stuck in the 4% rut - sure it looks pretty now, but there's still a lot of under the hood tinkering required to just do basic things on standard hardware.

Despite the venting it's still a great thing it exists and I love Linux. But I think that's what makes me wish it could work better in some cases.

Idk, maybe it's just Debian based distros these days and I'm behind in the curve. Fedora based ones like Bazzite haven't given me issues so far at least.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I'll figure it out eventually.

Just wanted to vent, but it's also frustrating because I really do wish Linux could be more widely adopted. But the tech heads here show why it won't be any time soon, even with Microsoft making a nightmare OS in terms of privacy.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Well at least someone here got the point

 

It's the simple things really. I've swapped back to Linux as my primary about a year ago, and still I have issues I don't have with Windows.

6 months now, particularly on Linux Mint (Bazzite to its credit hasn't had this issue much) I just can't fit connect to the internet. Linux is the only thing with this issue. By some arcane lucky magic, it somehow fixes itself when I'm fiddling around trying to fix it myself.

Only for the problem to come back next time I boot up my PC on Mint.

I have it connected to a TP link switch, just like other devices. None have the issue, not even a console (Nintendo Switch). Months, fucking months of going through forum posts, articles, social media, and trying out dozens upon dozens of "solutions", both in gui and the terminal - and the problem persists.

Now, I don't think I'm tech savvy exactly, but I'm not tech illiterate either. I understand some simple lines of code, some very basics of networking, etc. I'm patient enough to deal with issues like these for over half a year.

But how the hell is Linux even going to dream of being anywhere near mainstream when one of the most recommended "beginner" distros can't even run a year long without something as simple as the damned internet working???

And it's not just the internet. It's little things that just pop up one day and now you have to solve a puzzle to figure it out. Oh, suddenly you have to print something? Oh, you decided to get a light up keyboard that was on sale? Try to use Steam Link? Get ready to roll the dice on whether it'll take you a weekend to do / use it.

Microsoft is shit. Windows, is shit. Windows 11 is a privacy goddamn nightmare.

But in the end of the day, it just fucking works, those damn bastards ensure that. And even when something doesn't work, it seems, for some unknown reason, most of the online solutions do fix the issue.

Now imagine someone who's less likely to open up a terminal using Linux. They won't. They'll sacrifice their privacy because they might have full time jobs in something not remotely tech related and just wanted to watch some YouTube and don't want to spend the little free time they have fixing their own computer.

What's hilarious is just as I'm finishing this rant, the internet on Mint just magically decided to work again with no issues.

Maybe next time then I'll try yelling at the Linux fairies in my PC to see if they'll do their magic. At this point it's about a valid solution as any other.

It's Hezbollah. They likely killed him thinking he's a mole.

People here really have forgotten Hezbollah is also a monstrous group. One monster existing (Israeli government) doesn't negate the other one existing too (Hezbollah).

You: an eye for an eye makes the world blind

Also you: well war isn't that bad, it's war crimes that are bad!

Also, failing reading comprehension again, but to be fair English is your second language. I said Netanyahu and co., as in company, as in also the defense minister. Yes, that would manage to stop the genocidal war, because the rabid leadership that wants it would be dead, and politically they would have to scramble in order to maintain majority coalition.

How is that even remotely comparable to sending off bombs to be exploded in population centers with children?

For someone in the military you really don't seem to understand how modern warfare works, at all. A lot of modern warfare is urban now, not in fields - you know, places where non-combatants are. This is why Finland also offers civilian support training as an option for the mandatory regimen - such as learning how to build defences in city streets. **Even regular war occurs where there are children in modern times.**Even in ancient times. Hence, war is war. Children die in war, and your thick ass skull doesn't seem to get the root issue is war itself. War crimes are the ugliest thing of war, but war itself is already terrible.

Secondly, this wasn't just "sending off bombs to be exploded". This was a directed supply chain attack - it's not like grenades or rockets were just launched at city streets. They specifically infiltrated Hezbollah, convinced then to use Walkie Talkies and gave them tainted ones, that seemed to have also been tapped , then convinced them to use pagers as an extra precaution and gave them tainted ones too, then detonated those first rather than the walkie talkies to make them think the first form of communication was safe, then the walkie talkies. These were items designed to be carried around by the enemy, not indiscriminate bombing, and designed to disrupt and slow down their comms. Even without killing, it has incapacitated a huge amount of the enemy, and made them easier to identify by cross referencing hospital records with other Intel.

That is vastly different than what you imply. This if anything resulted in the least amount of casualties, considering the enemy combatants are mostly non-uniformed, and rarely attack directly in a front line.

Could you come up with a better way to deal with a zealot theocratic group also intent on genocide that fires missiles remotely and indiscriminately constantly at the general population that isn't directly starting a war in another country? Of course, you'll ignore this question just like every other thing I brought up that's extremely inconvenient for you to answer.

That's why I also brought up Finland and the Nazis - the Nazis just happen to be fighting the Soviets at the time didn't make the Nazis good, did it? Same here with Mossad fighting Hezbollah.

I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

 

I haven't really done home networking since Windows XP / gnome only Ubuntu days, so rusty is an understatement.

Currently due to the layout of my apartment, I have my main PC in a bedroom connected to a gli.net Velica router, such then connects to the wall, which then connects to a TP-Link Switch (1), which is connected to the internet.

In the living room, where I want to stream to a Raspberry Pi that has Android TV (lineage os), I have the Pi and 2 Nintendo Switches connected to another TP-Link switch (2), which is then connected to another gli.net router, which connects to the wall and then to TP-Link switch (1) which is connected to internet.

How do I set up a local LAN network so that my computer can then stream to the Pi via Steam Link, Moonlight, Sunshine, or any other recommended option?

Rainbow Trout Plate (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by Lumisal@lemmy.world to c/cooking@lemmy.world
 

Made this before my mom left back to the states, and had written down the recipe for her.

Cut onions, shallots, sweet onions, and garlic into small pieces. Call

Cut sweet paprika into small pieces separately.

Melt butter in a steel pot on low heat, then add onions, shallots, sweet onions, and garlic to the pot and fry until they sweat. Separate and keep the oil to the side, and put the aromatics back in the pot.

Lower the heat to low, then add smetana, cream of tartar, dill, and a touch of salt, whisking continuously.

Turn off the heat, add a touch of coffee cream to sauce, and continue whisking off heat.

Cut bread loafs and brush them with the oil you set aside earlier, and top them with the cut sweet paprika. Put in an oven preheated to 200°C/390°F and bake until crispy.

Prepare the Brussels sprouts by removing their outer leaves and cutting their ends. Add sesame oil to a small bowl, then add a few drops of truffle oil and 2-4 drops of orange bitters and mix together. Brush the sprouts with the oil mix. Roast in the oven as well, sprinkling some salt on sprouts after they are ready and out of the oven.

Heat a decent amount of rapeseed oil in a pan, and fry fish, flipping only once. Fry skin side first well so it crisps up, then only briefly fry the other side after turning the heat off from the oil.

Plate by adding sauce, and topping it with the fish. Add sauce and bread to the side. You can also garnish the dish with edible flowers.

I don't usually write recipes or amounts but recently I've been doing some experiments so I've loosely written what I did at least, in case my wife wants to recreate the dish with my help when going through chemo.

Mix crushed garlic and tomatoes with chipotle, paprika, umami, onion, and garlic powders, citrus pepper, mint, and dried basil. Then mix in some apricot puree.

Cut Golden Squash into discs, leaving skin on.

Melt butter in an enameled cast iron pan or similar until hot, then fry the discs until browned.

Lower temperature to medium-low heat, flip discs, then add sauce mix evenly and simmer for a while.

Make/buy raviolis, preferably a pork with some fresh herb or pine nut filling.

When ravioli is cooked, layer half onto a plate.

Then, add a layer of cheese, preferably kerma, gouda, or port salt.

Turn heat off from the pan with sauce and squash. Layer the squash on top of cheese and cover with half the sauce.

Layer the rest of the ravioli, and add the rest of the squash.

 

I did the line challenge through the ocean (ultra hand only, no zonai devices, 3 hearts, 1 stamina wheel, no items except those found, no armor, y160-y175)
