All because they can fire a whole division that's responsible for physical media to improve margins. Then control and limit the users ability to be able to play the content at virtually no cost to them, while also forcing them to purchase a subscription (double dipping) to be online, while also enforcing an always online policy so they can collect data (triple dipping).

Someone will be getting a new yacht and the users will be getting less value for more cost. PS5 is my last console, it sucks anyway.

    You mean I can see the particles and just use a Lysol wipe to quickly clean it up or I can put down a cloth that attracts and hides dust/dirt particles, bugs, and generally disgusting things. I have to wash the cloth regularly just encase because I can't be sure that it's clean

    I have a 512gb Gen1 and it was on the high side of pricing $650 at the time but the value was in the convenience and not so much the performance. The Gen3 512gb has OLED but now I couldn't justify the price tag $800 without getting a lot more boost in performance. For the same price I could get a Legion or ROG handheld that on paper has 1.5 times the performance.

    I've been using Mint on an old PC for a while and I recently switched over to Bazzite and upgraded the graphics card. After days of troubleshooting I finally got the video to output to my TV and monitor. The monitor works fine on the HDMI but the GPU and TV couldn't figure how to talk to each other, so I would either get no video or the resolution would be locked to 480p 4:3. The fix was to use a DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 connector for the TV and HDMI directly to the monitor and now I can get at least 1080p 16:9. But now I have the problem that the PC won't detect audio on the TV. Old GPU worked fine with video and audio.

    Reddit suggested reinstalling Bazzite with the TV connected as the primary display.

    The old GPU was a MSI rx580, new GPU MSI rx 6750 xt. PC is Dell Precision T3600

    Monitor Dell 27in and TV is a Sony 65in OLED

    Any help would be appreciated

     

    I'm a novice so go gently it's kinda my first time. I hope I'm in the right place.

    I recently installed Mint on an old laptop to use as a browser for my TV. Everything has gone great so far except when I turn off the TV the laptop goes to sleep and won't wake. The TV is set to primary display.

    I've turned off all of the power saving options and set Screen off/Suspend/lid coose to never or nothing. Turned off the screen saver and light. I checked the BIOS (it's actually BIOS and really that old) and no power settings that would effect sleep or wake.

    But it still goes to sleep when I turn off the TV. This would be tolerable if it would actually wake from sleep. So the only way to get it to come on is to pull the battery out and force a restart.

    Problem #1 - Goes to sleep when TV is off

    Problem #2 - Won't wake unless I pull the battery
