This is an instance where exercising eBay's great buyer protections is warranted. The card is outside of what I'd consider fully functional since it overheats due to a defect. If it was advertised this way that's one thing, but if not return it and get a fully functional card from an honest seller.
If I could make a suggestion, it'd be to have post bodies round off to the nearest word, and end in an ellipsis when they are too long for the post preview. It's a bit jarring seeing the body of many posts cut off mid word.
Also being able to download an image from the feed without needing to open it would be great.
Thanks for all your work! The app is really good and gets better with every update.
I personally do a ton of game streaming to my Steam Deck which is my main driver for using Windows as it works better with NVIDIA Shield + Moonlight, but I highly recommend you give Pop!OS a try. I'm very pro-linux, but for the longest time it just wasn't there for gaming and I didn't recommend it. With Valve going full steam ahead for the Steam Deck, Proton has gotten so good that for 95% of games things just work out of the box without any issue. Wine even has support for Easy Anti Cheat now and more features are coming every week.
You can pry my 49" 32:9 monitor from my cold dead hands.
Seriously though glad you found something that works for you. I could see them being difficult for RTS/ARPGs. I've started getting back into racing games because of my 32:9 because being able to use the side mirrors is cool as hell.
Eh, my team is this way, but it's because we're aerospace adjacent which further compounds the problem. The only woman on our team is awesome and everyone gets along great. No one has an inflated ego or feels the need to one up each other though, which tends to be the root of the issue in my experience. Lots of tech bros feel the need to put others down, and see women as an easier target unfortunately.
I followed this guide from PiMyLifeUp. I'm a pretty technical person, but I've been leaning on their guides more and more because they're so damn simple, and I'm tired of feeling like I'm reading the Linux equivalent of medical journals.
One issue I ran into was the qbittorrent user that is created did not have rwx access to the directory I was downloading files to causing my torrents to stall, so be aware of that. You also need a small fan for the Pi's processor otherwise it will overheat. Other than that we just have a 2TB SSD connected over USB to the Pi 3B+ and it works great, even with 4k BluRay content.
Once you get the qBittorrent server set up, set the default download location as a library in Plex and as long as you enable autoscan torrents should automatically get ingested into Plex once they finish. The setup also makes it way easier to seed and get super high ratios if you're into that. Then you can connect to qBittorrent from anywhere on your local network and give it magnet links, or even setup ZeroTier One as a P2P VPN to allow you to connect from remote networks. Currently it is setup to tunnel all traffic through ProtonVPN running on Wireguard.
Sure! It is this one from Amazon. I went for it because unlike a lot of KVMs I saw, this one had a "remote" that could be put on your desk instead of having to hit the switch button on the KVM itself which made hiding all the cables a ton easier. You can see it the center of my monitor stand.
The KVM itself has 4 USB-A inputs and two DP/USB-A outputs (one for each device). I run one set of DP/USB-A cables to my PC and the other set to my Macbook. The USB-A going to my Macbook plugs into a USB A to C dongle with an ethernet port on it that I plug directly into our switch. Unfortunately, when I ran ethernet into the switch I was only getting ~400Mbps down instead of 1Gbps, so I opted to run networking to each computer independently. For video I use a DP to USB-C cable which goes directly into my Macbook. For charging I just use the standard charger that came with it. Even though it is not as nice as having a single cable for power/video/input it works great for my use case, and plugging in the extra two cables is hardly a bother considering the laptop sits there for days at a time.
Hope this helps!
Thank you! Ultrawides are so nice, glad you were able to get one at that price. I remember when they used to be $1k+ for a 1080p ultrawide.
