PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•EA's Blockbuster $50 Billion Deal To Go Private RevealedEnglish
481·4 months agoBefore anyone thinks this could be good news for EA…
The offer comes from a group of investors that includes Silver Lake, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, and Saudi Arabia’s controversial Public Investment Fund.
WSJ states that it would “likely be the largest leveraged buyout of all time.”
A leveraged buyout from a PE firm means they’ve decided EA needs to die and they’re going to pick the carcass clean.

5·5 months ago-
Post your actual configs and logs or people will only be able to guess. (Censor any secrets.)
-
My guess: It’s probably your nginx config.

Why are you using 0.19.4? That version is over a year old.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Valve reveals the gaming hours on Steam Deck during 2024 and they are staggering - Steam Deck has become one of the main gaming platforms and is starting to be treated as suchEnglish
3·11 months agoHave they said that recently? The only definitive comment I remember from them was something along the lines “definitely not in the next 2-3 years” around launch, which was 3 years ago.
Not saying that means I “expect” it’s happening, just curious if you know of anything more recent that says its not happening.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Undocumented "backdoor" found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices [ESP32]English
322·11 months agoI don’t think is is a backdoor. At the moment I wouldn’t consider this article any more than FUD.
It’s unclear to me if the security company has actually said what the vuln is or not, but if it’s what was presented in the slides linked in the article this is at worst something that can be “attacked” from a computer connected via USB (and I’m pretty sure it would require special software too), where the attack is sending out possibly invalid bluetooth messages to try to attack other devices or flashing new firmware to the ESP itself. It’s not a general “backdoor” in the ESP32 itself. At least that’s the best interpretation I’ve been able to make. Happy to be corrected if anyone finds more info.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•The Steam Deck is about to get a standard charging feature that it’s sorely been missing [charge limit to improve battery life]English
14·1 year agoOh hey, actually reading the article for the win; it’s already possible to turn a limit on manually:
echo 80 | sudo tee /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon3/max_battery_charge_level

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•The Steam Deck is about to get a standard charging feature that it’s sorely been missing [charge limit to improve battery life]English
3·1 year agoAgreed. I’m definitely capable of replacing my Decks’ batteries, but I’m excited about this feature because I’d still rather not have to. Plus my deck spends 99% of it’s life plugged in on it’s dock.
It doesn’t sync to homeassistant, but I use a Xiaomi scale with openScale off of F-Droid. There’s a few different scales supported: https://github.com/oliexdev/openScale/wiki/Supported-scales-in-openScale

They don’t. Well, TI does but not anywhere near the the node size of the three you mentioned: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/technology_node

I don’t really understand the rest of that comment though…

28·2 years agoThey may block IP addresses associated with consumer ISPs. Assuming that’s the case, I would guess you’re seeing that as an HSTS/TLS error because their network is trying to trick your browser into redirecting to/displaying an error page hosted by some part of their network.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•GTA 6 Devs Slam Rockstar Games For Return-To-Office Mandate
121·2 years agoTell them if you have to go back to the office, you quit.
Nah, never say “or I’ll quit”, you just say you won’t go to an office. End of statement. You don’t make any sort of threat or give them an ultimatum, just set your boundaries. Make them fire you, if you’re valuable and/or well liked odd are they won’t and you just get to keep working remote.

IMO, the best free option is https://freedns.afraid.org/. The biggest downside of that one is that you have to login a couple times a year (IIRC?) to keep it active. I actually still use this even though I have a paid domain, I just CNAME my real domains to the afraid dynamic name. That was easier than changing the config every time I become unhappy with my domain registrar and have to reconfigure everything after swapping.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Haier response to my feedback after Louis' YT video.English
2·2 years agoThat doesn’t mean the issue wasn’t/won’t be escalated. It might even mean it’s more likely since someone bothered to make a response macro for it, they presumably got more than one or two emails about it. So it’s probably more likely to make it on a “list of issues we saw this week/sprint/month/quarter”.

Technology@beehaw.org•The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevanceEnglish
26·2 years agoThe day Firefox shutters its doors is the day the internet truly dies.
*the web
The internet has so far been doing a much better job surviving as a proper decentralized system than the web.
Unfortunately, no. Samba needs a different label. Doing that relabels things so that only containers (and anything unrestriced) can access those files.
