I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.
I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.
I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.
Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?
If you have a memory-mapped peripheral where there’s a readonly register, I could see it being const volatile.
I had a 6th gen Carbon and all the peripherals worked out of the box on Ubuntu. I never used an eGPU though.
I now have a Lenovo P14s (4th gen) and it was a bit rocky at first (power settings weren’t scaling correctly, amdgpu drivers were rough at first), but with the latest kernel and drivers, everything works great. Fingerprint sensor works every time.
Still getting the same thing, unfortunately
My older brother got me into Ubuntu when I was around 12. He basically showed me the basics, like the terminal and a couple commands, then just told me to manpage or Google everything else.
Then I got Linux for the Wii and that really got me into the nitty gritties of Linux.
Yeah, title should just be:
Don’t waste your money on an awful Android tablet on Black Friday
I don’t think it’s very useful at generating good code or answering anything about most libraries, but I’ve found it to be helpful answering specific JS/TS questions.
The MDN version is also pretty great too. I’ve never done a Firefox extension before and MDN Plus was surprisingly helpful at explaining the limitations on mobile. Only downside is it’s limited to 5 free prompts/day.
Not sure what you mean here, this is what the forum post said:
After emailing (admittedly not current best practice), the passwords are hashed and only the hash is stored.
But in situations like this there is a much larger chance it’s being stored in plain text.
I suppose, but OP said in the title that the passwords were being stored in plaintext, despite that not being the case.
People weren’t really nitpicking.
I got a free computer and upgraded the processor to an i7-6700T (eBay) and some old SSDs. It measured around 15W and I haven’t had any problems with it. It is miles ahead of using any Pi or ARM-based SBC. I would really recommend just finding a used computer nearby, if possible. Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace has some killer deals.
What’re you doing? I’d recommend Mikrotik, since you can do just about anything on it for cheap. It does however have a significant learning curve.
I mean the \0 literal
Huh, that’s what it looks like when you comment \0
I don’t write books but I’ve helped written a couple textbooks which used LaTeX. I personally use TeXstudio, but there’s many clients out there. If you appreciate beautiful typesetting, you’ll likely enjoy TeX despite its learning curve.
Can confirm, it’s pretty great. I use it with Syncler. It can be a pain to setup, but once it works, you’re golden.
Depends. I use vendor forums for vendor-specific Q&A (like the forums for ESP32, Mbed, FreeRTOS, etc). For other project questions, I open a Github issue with the “question” tag. Before, I used Reddit but it was rare that I’d get a “good” answer out of it.
I look at the contributors on Github and check them out. I’ll check out what else they’ve worked on and maybe see if they have an account on mastodon or twitter. Maybe I’ll ask some friends if they’ve used or heard of the product, or know of the devs.
There is indeed malware disguised as OSS and you do sometimes have to vet them. I’ll skim the codebase and see if there’s anything that looks weird or funky, but that’s not perfect (like in the case of the xz) and some stuff can slip by.
