    All other things aside, which Logitech mouse are you talking about? Both my G Pro and my G 305 work out of the box. Logitech also advertises them as ChromeOS compatible and AFAIK the Logitech wireless dongles are USB HID compliant so seeing a Linux straight up refuse to interact with them sounds very weird.





  • I’d love to but on my gaming rig Wine/Proton will absolutely refuse to install the Visual C++ runtime, making me unable to play most games. On another, virtually identical, Linux installation it works without issue; in fact, I have fewer weird issues like a game randomly not connecting to EOS.

    I consider it karmic justice for buying Nvidia; that’s the major difference between the two systems.

    (Update: The latest Wine version seems to have fixed this. I’m certainly not complaining.)


  • When AMD introduced the first Epyc, they marketed it with the slogan: “Nobody ever got fired for buying Intel. Until now.”

    And they lived up to the boast. The Zen architecture was just that good and they’ve been improving on it ever since. Meanwhile the technology everyone assumed Intel had stored up their sleeve turned out to be underwhelming. It’s almost as bad as IA-64 vs. AMD64 and at least Intel managed to recover from that one fairly quickly.

    They really need to come to with another Core if they want to stay relevant.



  • I actually went back to a light gray theme for my new Linux machine after I’ve been stuck with Windows’s options of “flat pure black with hairlines” and “flat bright white with hairlines” for too long.

    I don’t actually need dark mode that much (except for coding) if a bright mode theme is easy enough on the eyes. Windows 10 is just so ugly that only the dark mode is halfway palatable.

    If only the old themexp.dll hacks still worked I could have a decent looking desktop on all of my machines…


  • Ah, good old Book of Erotic Fantasy. It’s so gloriously stupid that everyone should own a copy. That table is by far not the silliest part of the book.

    It’s only bested by the official sex rulebook for The Dark Eye, which is an April Fools joke that spiraled out of control and has actual rules for intercourse – deliberately bureaucratic and unsexy ones included purely as a “you asked for it” joke at the reader’s expense.




  • Alternatively you turn it around and play it like a buddy cop movie: The straight-laced paladin screwed up and ended up breaking the law big time. He’s given probation of he does some stuff for the city and the probation officer happens to be the loosest cannon in the entire force.

    Cue the rogue constantly operating on “eh, it’s probably going to be okay” (and getting his way because he’s the actual cop) and the paladin burning half of his spell slots on curing the ulcers he’s developing.


  • Exalted: The darkness turns out to be a component soul of the Ebon Dragon and now it’s angry. Fetch another bucket of dice and roll to Join Battle.

    Battletech: You land a through-armor crit on the darkness’s hip actuator. The darkness falls – let me check that table – on its left side and probably won’t be getting up again any time soon.

    I mean, Samsung tablets come with handwriting detection. I immediately turned it off of on mine because it expects since kind of cursive that I don’t use but it’s there.

    I consider Palm’s Graffiti input system superior – sure, you had to learn the alphabet but every palmtop came with a cheat sheet and one you had it down it was pretty damn quick to write with.
