Environmental DNA, apparently.

Audio devices can have multiple modes or “profiles” that determine what they do.

For my headset I have:

For my internal sound card I have:

If I set my headset to one of the options that doesn’t have “+ Mono Input” the mic stops working and doesn’t even show up in settings and apps anymore. Same if I use the “Stereo Output” mode on my internal sound card. They must be set to a mode with both output and input enabled to work.

I can see this from “Sound” in my KDE settings, but you can also configure this in the “Configuration” tab of pavucontrol.

The bluetooth controller in the machine needs to support wake on pcie/usb. The one in the steamdeck does, which is how it achieves the ability to be woken from a controller.

Linux can run pirated windows copies of games just fine.

You’ll need to install qbittorrent, and search up a torrent download for Tekken 7. You can probably find a Tekken 3 download the same way.

To run Tekken 7, you can use Bottles. (Install bottles, create a bottle for gaming, then run the game installer inside the bottle)

To run Tekken 3, you can use PCSXR. All you should need to do is “open” the Tekken 3 iso in PCSXR.

Tekken 3 is a PS one game, not PS2.

It has no PC version. Any such thing is just the PS one version with an emulation wrapper.

You definitely seem to have what looks to be the right audio device getting detected.

The device that is “unplugged” should be the 3.5mm jack on your laptop (if you have one) not the internal mic.

My first guess is that your audio device is in the wrong mode. If it is currently set to something like “stereo output” change it to “stereo output+mono input” or “stereo duplex” from pavucontrol or audio settings.

That laptop doesn’t seem to have a dedicated GPU. The intel integrated GPU can run games, but Tekken 7 may prove a bit heavy.

Tekken 7 can be purchased and installed via steam. You might have to turn down the graphics a good bit but I imagine it should be playable.

Tekken 3 does not have a PC version, but it’s very easy to emulate the PS1 version.

For that you’ll need to install a psx emulator. I recommend PCSXR.

Then you’ll need a copy of Tekken 3 as an iso file to run it.

Sounds like maybe the plasma config got screwed, and now the default panel (the taskbar) is off-screen somewhere. This can happen when you change the monitor layout.

The primary monitor checkbox disappears when there is only one monitor enabled, because with just one, it is ALWAYS the primary monitor.

You should be able to go back to two monitors by switching to the other monitor using the drop-down menu, and checking the “enabled” box there.

Let me get back you with more details about what you can do.

Edit: You should be able to simply right click anywhere to get a context menu. In it, go “add panel>default panel”. This will add a new default taskbar to the current screen.

It’s likely the panel you had before is still somewhere. To try to find it, right click again, then click “enter edit mode”. In the top left you should find “manage desktops and panels” which should get you to a window that lists any disconnected “screens” and the panels that may be stuck in them.

Ah. That’s right. You need to use the uid as the network share doesn’t have permissions the way a local partition would. Normally it’s unneeded, as the drive, folder and file permissions are set on the drive, and those are the ones that matter once it is mounted.

Note that the uid only sets access permissions. It does not actually mount the share as you, so you’ll still need to be root to unmount it, unless you change user to users.

The option you’re looking for is users, not user.

user makes it so that any user can mount, but only the same user can unmount. Meaning, since root is mounting it on boot, root has to be the one to unmount it, too.

users allows any user to mount, and any user to unmount.

Not sure what’s on going with Pika. Who mounts the share shouldn’t matter, as the folder permissions should be the same regardless.

Do you have a uid option set?

Yesterday we saw the biggest increase in signatures in a single day, even compared to the start of the initiative.

This isn’t change.org or a twitter poll.

It’s an official EU citizens initiative, hosted on the EU web portal. The one maintained by the EU for the very purpose of digitally facilitating any and all citizens initiatives.

No, I’m not.

Ok

I’m saying this is a waste of time.

I… What? Is that not a mutual exclusivity argument? For you to have a point, this time and effort would need to be better spent elsewhere. I not only disagree with that, but I have the time and energy to do the other things you are claiming will make a difference.

Oh shit forreal?

Does that mean I can pay for shit online with made-up credit cards?

Citizens iniatives may be a form of petition, but the difference is they come with actual legal requirements.

This isn’t some change.org bs, a list of names totaling some arbitrary number. That’s why it has a hard deadline. And requirements for how signatures have to come from more than one country.

This is a pre-existing system for the people of the EU to force it to tackle an issue. Most EU countries have equivalent systems locally, as well. This isn’t new or unusual for us.

Legal precedent is how the US works. Where lawsuits catalyzing the setting of new standards for what is legal, is the most common way the law changes. If you thought that’s how EU legislation got done, then you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about. Almost everything the EU does, is based on proposals. Not legal cases.

Those can happen in the EU, too, but we have additional ways to propose law as citizens, and legal cases are more common on the national level, rather than the continental level.

If you can gather proof (signatures) of concern on a given issue, you can force a proposal through the door that normally has to come from elected representatives.

Right. Because caring about A means you can’t care about B. If you support legislation, you must be boycoting nothing, because no-one in the history of existence has ever done both.

You’re claiming mutual exclusivity where none exists.

You sound more like you’re scared of the implications of this passing, because you’d have us voting with out wallets rather than… actually voting. Nevermind that even games not worth buying should still also be preserved.

Pre-orders, micro-transactions and battle-passes are still a thing, no matter how much we’ve shouted about “big company bad”. This type of crap isn’t something we solve by any one method alone.

And you don’t need to engage with youtube or any other social media, to accept that the phenomenon they enable, occur. To dismiss that reality would be idiotic delusion.

Millions of views is a lot, when all you need to get started, is one of those millions to sign a petition.

I… What?

Botting something like a citizens initiative, where every signature WILL get scrutinized by government would be seriously stupid. Or are you saying commenters like me are bots?

Is it really that hard for you to imagine the possibility… that people care?

Or are just not aware of the chain of youtubers doing a call to arms on this, getting millions of views, completely explaining the signature spike?

In case you’re wondering, the graph looks like this. There have currently been 16k new signatures today. The required pace to make it would be 10k a day. Yesterday the count increased by about 30k signatures.

TL;DR Keep spreading this to people you know, and keep signing. It’s working.

intel-undervolt/amdctl for cpu, lact for amd gpu, gwe for nvidia gpu (although voltage control on linux with nvidia is not possible, you can get a similar result by overclocking+limiting power)

Undervolting is great on gaming laptops. Usually nets you a performance boost simply by reducing thermal throttling.

Even just a few mV has made a difference for me.
