Never seen that, and I build with hundreds of variants from all the big manufacturers. Haven’t seen that once in a PC, Laptop, or SFF.

Yeah, but it’s almost pointless to give an “if, then, elsif, elsif” scenario if just removing the battery does the same thing, and all motherboards have a battery for the CMOS.

Did you read that I was saying containers are bad somewhere? You have misread.

Flatpak for one: https://github.com/flathub/com.google.AndroidStudio

Android Studio isn’t just a simple app, nor a single executable, AND it maps out to a bunch of local sockets to your already running host to provide various services. Certainly not going to be easy or stable in a container, especially since they are asking about emulation as well.

I’m confused by your question. Why would you need a container for this? There are other packages downloads for Android Studio. Container would be the most convoluted way of running it.

That’s just the difference between an LTS and everything else though. Debian is meant to be slow to release, battle tested, and focused on stability.

They’ve about a half dozen stupid decisions just in the past decade that has garnered the tarnish on their reputation. Trying to rationalize it won’t make the issues go away.

Note that this same hate sure isn’t going towards Debian.

This sounds like you have beef with the developer.

What’s this post about?

If you don’t have an onboard display to plug into, open your PC, pull the CMOS battery for 30s, and plug it back in. This will reset all your settings to factory defaults.

Autoimmune research might be useful.

Oh, wow. Thank you so much. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Not being bristly at all. Your comments seem to assume: 1) People don’t already know (check the thread you’re in) 2) Valve is doing something wrong, and/or 3) They are somehow at fault for something, like stolen valor or not giving credit where credit is due.

You suggested your comment was pedantic, and I confirmed, and it’s because of your tone. I’m not rage replying to your comments, just correcting the context because I feel you have the wrong take.

Nope. Anything ARM. Meaning tablets can run x86 games with Proton+FEX if that be the case. Also getting the MacOS segment back into the fold. ARM laptops, hell, maybe even Apple portable devices, who knows.

It’s not just about their own hardware, but my thinking is that the Deck 2 will be ARM for power consumption reasons, so this all makes a lot of sense. The Frame isn’t really just a VR devices, it’s also going to be SteamOS, so that means a virtual desktop and all the usual Linux apps and such. I’m sure it will sell on its own as a productivity device as much as a gaming device. No reason it can’t fill the market gap that awful Apple headset screwed up so poorly.

Yes, pedantic. Wine existed before Proton, and Valve made it more suitable for use in its own ecosystem with funding and developer time, but also still open and usable for the community writ large.

They’ve also been funding FEX since it’s inception, and likewise commiting development resources for the same purpose, to further their product reach on a wider array of devices.

They aren’t simply gobbling up these fledgling FOSS projects for use in their products as you seem to suggest, they’ve had a long term plan to make milestones and goals that have gotten them to where they are now. That’s the point.

They aren’t gatekeeping anything. They simply have the resources to give these projects they are interested in a boost.

This is specifically about ARM64 if you read the posting. The only other ARM hardware out there that runs Proton are these random Chinese brands that make emulation focused handhelds. That’s not a segment of the user base that EA would care about.

Now, Valve is turning the entire ARM ecosystem on its end by building out an entire suite of tools to make an emulation layer that makes running Proton on ARM almost entirely possible for the full range of games that already run on Steam, which is huge. That means any ARM device can now run Steam, Proton, AND FEX without much in the way of a barrier. This brings Steam on mobile potentially into olac, MacOS back to the table…etc.

It’s not about Linux users and SteamOS singularly, but the coming expansion into the ARM space.much larger than 4-8%.

This is certainly driven by upcoming Valve hardware. I don’t think any of the smaller devices out in the wild really sell enough units to make them go this far.

Ars is owned by Conde Nast who has multiple whistleblowers saying AI is being forced on them. Think that’s kind of relevant.

Then maybe they shouldn’t be using these tools in the first place. Other Conde Nast employees have already been blowing the whistle about this, which is funny because they sued all the AI companies for stealing content.

Whether there is a news article about it or not, these shitty tools are being shoved down everyone’s throats. From developers, to authors.
