So I had an issue on CachyOS where I have a Samsung S90D TV as my main monitor and despite it having worked most of the time, after a reinstall today for some reason it decides to go into "Check Device Power" mode when I have it plugged into my primary AMD GPU. I tried the TV with the same cable on a Switch 2 and it worked fine, and then briefly after it even worked on the PC again, but then disconnected once more later. It was really annoying because I'd even had it detected by my KDE display settings so I knew something had to be wrong on the TV's end but everything online was pointing at my PC.

But, I finally got it to work again, without having to do anything on my PC itself! What I did was switch it to the Switch 2 again until it went into "Detecting Device" mode and then when I let it go through the motions there I put it back into the PC and when it tried detecting device I pressed the button on the remote to make it detect the source as a PC and it worked again. Not sure why, so I'm afraid it may stop working again and I want to figure out the root cause of this issue that's causing my TV to behave in this strange manner. It has to be an issue with the TV now, right?

It's more that 3D design is extremely complicated software-wise, at least from what I can see as an end-user, so programs specialize. Blender is the first one to attempt an honest jack-of-all-trades thing, and it does a decent enough job, but it will simply never reach the peaks of specialized software.

People can make six figures making Minecraft shaders while people have to pay a monthly subscription to use Pantone colors in Photoshop so it's all a greedy mess these days. If you create something novel, one of the giant companies like Adobe will go full Microsoft and bury you if they can't buy you out.
I'll posts in that thread sometime in the future about all the programs involved, but once you see them in action you'll start to understand why they specialize.

One of the issues with modern game/movie development I've seen people in the industry talk about is that you're expected to do more and more. It's like someone that used to just fit the tire onto a car on an assembly line instead having to tune the brakes and set up the steering.

My boss told me about some tool that he was told about. n8n.io
And I was looking at it, thinking about the various tasks I actually have to do as a developer, where AI has failed me.

And I come to realize that this stuff is marketed like AWS is to gullible companies.
Anyone can split an HTML page, extract URLs and send GET/POST requests to a URL for results. The examples they provide are meaningless, so some executive buys subscriptions to this and tells people to use it.
Then they have to try and integrate this slop into their existing codebase causing additional complexity, and the company is now paying additional fees for their developers to try and get the AI to work in hopes of added productivity.

I just don't get how someone can use n8n.io in any way besides writting stupid scripts that serve basically no purpose.

I love trackma for letting me taiga on linux, but it's a real pain in the ass to make it work with Haruna which comes default for CachyOS and I've really fallen in love with it after fiddling with it a bit and realizing it's somewhat of a cross between the best of MPV (being able to use the MPV conf and scripts) and MPC (in UI).

Anyone know how to fix this? I upgraded Fedora and removed Wine for a bit, and it broke PlayOnLinux and this pops up when I try to run it.
For context, I am using POL for running Touhou on Linux.

I can only assume that PlayOnLinux uses Python, and Python broke something AGAIN. Blame Python for being absolute trash, I have nothing else to say about that trash.

I don't know. How did you install POL? Either POL needs to be updated or Red Hat needs to downgrade or update Python. The error looks like either an API change in Python (Python too new), or POL relying on a newer API (Python too old).
Yeah, fuck Python.

I Installed it through the terminal. Just did the standard sudo dnf install for it and I did try uninstalling it and tried installing it from the Software Center, it still gave me the same errors, so there's probably no difference in install method, so I am definitely gonna agree that it's probably Python that's the problem.
I'll never understand why people shill Python so much.

>>5368
Yeah, but the best guide I saw at the time for getting the Touhou games working on Linux used POL, and Lutris was kind of an issue for me. But then again, I might try again with Lutris, I was way more inexperienced when I tried it, so maybe I'll have a better experience now.

Anyone here able to help me with Perfect Dark? I'm going bananas.
I have the correct exceptions set in Windows Firewall, I even completely turned off the Windows Firewall AND the one from my router and the thing still tells me the port is not confirmed. I also can't do specific port forwarding for my router because it seems to be IPv6-only and doesn't give me the option. I have no idea what else I could do here.

Speaking of pricing, RAM is now 2-3x as expensive as it was a few months ago. All hail AI, our benevolent bubble.
I was thinking of doubling what I had in an attempt to future proof from future price hikes, but I guess I waited too long.

I've been using chatgpt for a project I'm assigned to and it gets the job done, "the job" being churning out code that werks. Is it the best practices? No. But it is what is expected in this day and age, you get the chatbot to "help" you code. It's perfect for shit you don't want to do/want to spend brainpower on.

I'm really, really, really frustrated with how "complicated" ffmpeg is to use. It's such a good tool and I can at least use it for simple file conversion and whatnot, but as soon as I need to actively test more specific options related to color correction, I just want to rip my hair out. A lot of entries in the documentation do not feature examples and I have to go by trial and error for hours without any helpful hints other than it at least tells me it recognizes the filter/s I wanna use but that I'm doing it wrong. Chatbots on the highest setting aren't helpful either because they're mixing and matching commands that are either outdated or completely made-up. GUIs are both outdated and only feature the essentials like the changing of resolutions.
I'm once again throwing in the towel like I do yearly anyway when I come back to this because there are no comparable alternatives, I really just don't feel like having to start the research from square one again tomorrow. I fucking hate digital video.

Got a USB wifi dongle made for old BD players, although I only got it because I know that these dongles use the AR9271 chipset which has good Linux (and OpenBSD) support: open source firmware, stable driver, supports AP, monitor, injection
And it's essentially the same factory and model as one of the "FSF certified" wifi dongle from another company (which costs 3-4x the price I paid for this one)
