Will they still get service support, it being a grey import?

Yeah that’s where I’m at as well. Irritating not world ending.

Ok that explains it. I tried applying the plasma config earlier. Didn’t fix.

It is blank right now. I’m looking at xrandr right now, but a basic check into sddm.conf suggests I can’t set resolution in there, but can’t call scripts. Might come back to this though.

(Edited for clarity) This was interesting. It gave me arandr to generate a script which is great for lazy me. That script “works” in that it doesn’t give any errors when I test it, but it actually doesn’t have any effect on the login screen. In fact with more digging i discovered that xrandr just doesn’t work at all. I tried setting the display to a lower resolution (default is 3440x1440 so I used 1920x1080) in the control panel to test the xrandr command but xrandr tells me the mode (3440x1440) is not found. I looked again in xrandr and saw that any resolution higher 1920x1080 is not listed any more. I reset the resolution back to 3440x1440 in the control panel then looked in xrandr again and all the expected resolutions are listed again.

xrandr errors when I try to set my display to anything other than the setting it is currently using. Either I’m don’t something stupid with the syntax (99.999% confident I’m doing it right), or xrandr is broken with my setup. Maybe kde plasma 6 and wayland is giving me grief here? My PC has an AMD 7900XT GPU, so maybe it just doesn’t like my GPU for some reason.

Here is the output from xrandr for my current settings:

DP-1 connected primary 3440x1440+0+1080 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 800mm x 330mm
HDMI-A-1 connected 1920x1080+758+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 520mm x 290mm

Here are the commands I’m using in the Xsetup script.

xrandr --output HDMI-A-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 758x0 --rotate normal
xrandr --output DP-1 --primary --mode 3440x1440 --pos 0x1080 --rotate normal

Original version has voiceover, directors cut does not.

I swear his latest movie is just the “Emperor’s new clothes” test. If you watch the whole thing you failed the test. I managed to stop around 30 mins ish.

Did you watch the one with Decker’s voiceover, or without?

Apparently the common experience is watching it without voiceover first makes it harder to watch. But watching it with voiceover first makes rewatching it without, more interesting. Or something like that.

Gymnastics. Seriously. You don’t need to be all that athletic to do the core basics. You get fitter and have fun just throwing yourself onto big soft mats.

Put words together into sentences that make me sound like a grown-up.

Put the ball into an open net in Rocket League.

The music. The early 90s saw the rise of independent record labels which then gave rise to bands who wouldn’t have stood a chance otherwise, aka Indie Music. After the 60s, the 90s is by far the best era for modern music ever.

Now, now!

I have the same problem the other way around. When I use chrome it feels like I’m using a kids browser. Slightly cutesy with too many curvy bits. Sort of like the difference between Duplo (chrome) and Lego (Firefox). Basically the same thing, but also not.

Rocket League, and lots of other games, seem to have stayed on Reddit.

My son has a gaming laptop that is plugged in constantly. I vaguely remember reading that all modern laptops protect the battery to some degree, though not sure how. I’m guessing it is by using the mains while charging. Not sure what the damage is to a battery that is constantly fully charged.

I only stuck my head in the and got the same feeling I did when I watched the first 30 mins of Lost. I stopped before going all in.

I’m confused why men still wear suits. They look like school uniforms to me, and make men look like overgrown school kids.

Women have far more choice, and the equivalent clothing items on when would be considered too casual. Time this shit changed.

I wear whatever the fuck I want. I once had a sort of boss (not a line manager just a coordinator. Our team were all contractors and didn’t really report to one person as such). She saw me crossing the office one day and pulled me aside to tell me I had to wear a shirt and tie from now on. Anyway, I just said “nope”, and walked off.

She had been trying shit like this on our team for a while and we knew we could just ignore her about this stuff. Still satisfying though.

Yeah you’ve been more technical than me.
