Got home, internet is not working, restart router several times, does not work, FML, call ISP, its an outage in the whole area, FML x2, enable hotspot to have something, i get 200kbps bandwidth, FML x3, switch to USB tether, usable 30mbps, deadpan face.
This week was a nightmare at work cause we had to upgrade the main printer server, had a 12 hour day yesterday when my normal time is 7 and half hours a day and i ain't getting those extra hours paid. Also, today I arrive at work and a third of the printers were failing and we we're getting hammered on the phone by the users while fixing it.
I'm very mad that the hotspot in my pixel 8 is freaking trash, the fiber line is dead, and work was an absolute PITA this week.
Kill me.

Best local game stream application now days

Gaming is fine honestly, the problem is everything else for me, just shit breaking once in a while after an update, i'm done dealing with it, also i'm getting more into dev stuff and Windows is actually the worst platform for it, unless you're making games or native windows software generally. Looking at the github, its the only advantage of this fork lower latency and virtual display support? anything else worthwhile? i mean those are really good reasons tbh, just trying to see if there's more. See first quote. -
Basically i'm fed up with the extreme enshitification of Windows, no joke but for me in my machine, windows 11 is now worse that when it released. And even though linux gaming has gotten a lot better thanks to the steam deck, there's still the problem of anticheat games and the likes, also i have a racing sim rig and linux support for sims but mostly the sim related apps like simhub are DOA on Linux. So i've been thinking of switching to my macbook pro as also my daily machine in my desk and just use my pc as a gaming box, sim and file server for my data, just use it for the stuff i can't do in my macbook and remote/stream from it. i've known of moonlight/sunshine for a while but, is it still the best solution for game/local streaming?

I want to replace my chair and searching for a replacement has been problematic. I don't care at all about looks, just that its proper ergonomic but ofc i don't have the cash to pay for the goat herman miller embody. Any decent bang for buck chairs models out there worth looking into?

TL;DR: Title Basically in my work we have a box full of new 10 meter long HDMI cables (like a dozen wires pretty much) for conference room setups, mainly for users to connect their laptops to the TV, problem is they suck ass, AFAIK they were ordered a couple years ago by a dude that no longer works here and before I joined the company, he just ordered the cheapest thing he found on the website of one of the providers we work with. Every time I have to fix or setup a room the HDMI turns out to be issue almost every time. I finally convinced my boss to order replacements but frankly I'm not very into AV to know what is good and what sucks and researching has been a PITA. I'm in EU. In Spain, I'm aware that monoprice it's a good brand but they only sell in north america and I haven't found an EU reseller, other brand I found is Kramer but it seems they sell their products on installations, not wholesale, another one is startech but they seem to be hit on miss for HDMI cables. I would really appreciate what other good brands that sell in the EU are out there.

TL;DR: Basically the title. I've just moved to a new place and right now im using the ISP provided AP for my desktop, OFC I would like to use a wire but I can't since I would need to run it alongside the wall and through door frames alongside the entire flat due to my room being the opposite side of where the router and fiber endpoint is but mostly being a rental. So I must use either WiFi or a Powerline adapter. Essentially what is the better option now, i haven't looked at the market in a while, but 3 years ago I used a basic TP-LINK Powerline kit for a month and honestly it was trash, jitter was ok but I was stuck under 15mbps where the internet was 300mbps fiber and so WiFi was running circles on it on the speed side but you get the occasional jitter spike that you can notice playing games. Anyways what's the solution that can get me closest to using a wire right now? A beefy wifi 6 AP and wifi card for my desktop or a high end Powerline kit? Also since I think it matters I'm living in the EU, Spain

Pretty much the title, i been looking earlier today at some stuff to see what's worthwhile ATM in the earbud market, so far it seems that airpods are still the king, even on non Apple platforms which is what i need, i have a bit of everything, win11 desktop, Pixel phone and a macbook, so i don't want to get the airpods and work like magic on my mac but have some kind of problem on my phone and desktop. Specifically i'm looking at the airpods 3rd gen, the Pro are out of my budget. But besides the airpods is there anything out there equal or better at that price range? i've seen Samsung just released their latest earbuds but reviews aren't that hot and the pro variant is delayed for QC issues, i've also seen stuff from anker, jabra, sennheiser, bose, ASUS (the ROG one which is ofc RGB lanterns in your ears...) and other brands but almost all of them use the bean shape which i think for my ears are terrible mainly because i have the JVC HA-A5T and they fall of my ear often without barely moving my head, though TBF when they are very budget buds. Regardless, TL:DR airpods 3rd gen for non Apple, yay or nay?

i'm 31 next week and at this point i've felt like i've seen most of the bullshit that can happen with computers, especially when it comes to MS products, but alas, today i got surprised again by sheer MS bullshit.
What happened is that i downloaded Forza Horizon 4 from the xbox app, well the game errored out when launching and i get your typical MS meaningless error code that gets you nothing on a search, this was two days ago and honestly i just moved on right after cause i did not want to bother fixing shit on the weekend, played something else. Well right now tried again, stays the same but i got a lightbulb moment and remembered that i'm not signed into edge, the browser, said fuck it and signed in because windows is now all interconnected bullshit, and behold, it fucking started working. FFS just when i thought i've seen a lot of bullshit i get surprised because a bloody game refused to start because the account is associated with wasn't signed in into a freaking web browser.
I'm debating if i should uninstall the game from how mad i am right now, or just forget about all of this because it's fixed now...

When i decided to buy a logitech 502 x i read that ghub is a piece of crap but upon first use i did not seem that bad, well, its now the third time in a row that whenever i turn my pc on the damn program doesn't start and its stuck opening and the only way i managed to fix it, was to uninstall, restart, install and set my settings again, an i have to do that again now... gonna try and save my config to the mouse memory now and see if i can forget about ghub...
TL;DR ghub is, indeed, a piece of crap.

11 hours ago, da na said:The old version of the software is so much better - Logitech Gaming Software. I've never had any issues with it on my G602, while Ghub is...... awful.
Fella on Reddit shared this legacy version:

It won't work with the G502, though. I have a G502 (worst purchase ever) and a G13 (best purchase ever), and I must have both LGS and GHub as each device is only compatible with one software.
Also, at some point LGS stopped working at all. No amount of uninstalling, reinstalling, copying config files from backups or old OS drives, and other desperate voodoo could bring back any functionality to the G13, other than showing the time and default key binds. And then one day it just worked again upon booting the PC

That's where I'm at
I have the logitech G710+ and the (original) G502. BOTH originally worked perfectly fine with no issues. However when I upgraded my PC, I had to get the Ghub because the 502 doesn't work with the old software anymore.... But my keyboard doesnt work with the new software!!! So now my six dedicate macro keys are useless. Typically that's fine, but recently with Helldivers 2 I've been thinking of making them macros for stratagems like resupply or reinforcements. So I guess I just have to git gud

you can have both installed, i did once (by accident, troubleshooting the crappy ghub)

Banned because ofc i'm proud also for summoning me, the OP.

Thanks both, gonna try gnome tomorrow on it then, not a fan of it on desktop though but given the environment its worth a try.

So, my workplace has decide to throw away some old surface pro 3 that have been replaced and in storage for years and they allowed people to take them if they desired, so i decided to snag one for myself, since its basically an over 10 years old computer that has a mere 4GB of RAM i'm just gonna put linux on it straight away, looking up manjaro seems to be the best distro to install on them, as of now i just managed to boot into manjaro with the KDE DE and everything works on it except wifi but the fix seems to be to just install an additional firmware package from the repositories (and i haven't tested the pen which i have cause its looks to be out of battery so i ordered both the AAAA and 2 319 coin cells but i don't have those until tomorrow) Anyways with the very brief time i had booting into the live ISO with KDE it seems to be not great for tablet use which i care cause i mostly snagged to use for drawing, not the best tablet for it but I'm not gonna complain since i got it pretty much for free. Regardless, is there any DE that best suited for tablets? even better if its at least in the manjaro repos but i don't mind hassling around to make it work in manjaro though i suspect it wouldn't be to hard or obscure to do given its arch under the hood where pretty much anything in linux already works on it.

Bought a new monitor, from basic 1080p@60hz to 1440p@165hz Gsync compatible, also its IPS.
Dear god, feels like a new world opened, cyberpunk feels like twice as beautiful that in 1080p, and Gsync also feels amazing, i tend to take the tears over the lag and shit frames but not anymore.
