I answered generically because my comment was about a libinput "issue" which affects all distributions and desktop environments. (Queue 2021 is the year of linux desktop). Personally, I see this change as a regression from the hig

Thanks for updating your answer with your diff. Arch really looks great in how easy it was to try that. I'm running Ubuntu and have experience compiling custom kernels so this should be slightly easier to try, thanks once again for suc

Thanks for your detailed reply. Unfortunately the Microsoft Precision Touchpad on my Dell XPS 2-in-1 2019 (Wacom HID 48EE Finger) does not support ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR; it's worth mentioning however that Windows works perfectly and palm

Thanks for the links, particularly the second one. It looks like something I may have experimented with before but I'll try again. It could be that my touchpad does not support ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR (Dell XPS 2-in-1 2019). My "issue&

I love Linux desktop but miss these creature comforts too. For me, my biggest input issue is the lack of customisation around trackpad deadzones, i.e. the 15% or so deadzone on the left and right of the trackpad. My trackpad is exactly in t

I had similar thoughts but was so glad I stuck with season 4, it is probably one of the best seasons of TV I've ever seen and provided satisfactory closure. IMO season 4 is worth watching no matter what you thought of the middle season

I don't have an m1 yet but have a similar experience with laptops performing extremely poorly compared to desktops (to be expected) but also poorly compared to my older Apple MacBooks. I have a 2015 13" MBP that will perform a com

If you no longer have the ability to read your floppies or CD-ROMs you can find them on archive.org fairly easily. I'd imagine the DOS version would run in DOSBox fairly easily. For the Windows version, wine is reported to work https:

Does that work reliably with Ryzen processors? I've only had Intel laptops and it's a real pain to get them to not throttle regardless of temperature, power management and being plugged into the AC. The steps are something like th

It's hard to follow what OP is trying to describe. They used LastPass to generate a password for their router but then accuse them of sniffing passwords? I also have no idea what they're referring to regarding the Facebook export:

A lot of macOS seems designed this way, it took me months of using macOS daily before I learnt these little tricks, e.g. pressing option before many operations generally shows an advanced menu (advanced network connection stats, finder merg

I have a GTX 1080 which performs wonderfully under Linux (Ubuntu) but I still have to go into Firefox and Chrome browser flags to force hardware accelerated GPU rendering on. Once that's enabled they work as well as Windows. New users

I accidentally did the same on my Mac via a shell script where I assumed mktemp worked the same as gnu mktemp, it does not. IIRC it was my /Applications directory that was first to be hit; most of the directory was unaffected due to fi

This is one area Bose are notably better in, i.e. connected to two devices simultaneously. I find the XM2 can remember pairing for at least 2 devices, typically my phone and laptop but I have to manually disconnect from one device and conne

I've owned the Sony WH-1000XM2 for several years and while the Android app location collection is unnecessary, ear data is entirely optional. You have a valid point that the app can misbehave regarding updates and lack of internet conn

I remember this clickbait title from a couple of days ago. The comparison is for all packages over Debian's history in the last 20 years versus a specific release version of Windows. Hardly a fair comparison.

Nice site but I'll be sticking with Source Code Pro. I make my monospaced font decision pretty easily, how does the letter "o" look, perfectly round? Good, is the letter "c" also perfectly symmetrical? Excellent. Mo

If you're looking for an IDE with remote interpreter support I've been using JetBrains products for years with Vagrant and Docker and they work great with full support for launching tests in the remote, setting breakpoints etc.

Those timestamps are likely from the image metadata, there's no reason to believe that the images are out of order from their numeric/shortcode ids. What the author refers to as the "real post #1" has a taken_at_timestam

wsltty loaded via ConEmu is the only acceptable terminal combination I've found for Windows, with support for mouse events, scrollwheel and remote terminal resize detection, e.g. ssh into another box and run a program like htop. I last

The bug looks like it occurs because the date picker aligns days/dates from 2017. February and March both begin on a Wednesday in the screenshot. I don't have iOS to test, but if this is the case, a flight for 1st Jan 2020 will in

Works very well with Wine (but only with non Hi-DPI displays when and the Windows Version is set to 2003). It's my favourite client on desktop Linux / Windows.

I'm not sure if you're a 1Password user (or whether your alternative supports similar functionality) but the former has a feature called Watchtower which then groups your compromised logins.

I think plain PHP may have been taken to mean you're using an in house framework without using a package manager such as composer. In this case it's definitely more expensive to roll your own solution, especially when it comes to

If it's similar to SSH in Windows 10 (developer feature) it behaves quite strangely with user account privileges. I tried to `vagrant up` a project configured to use VirtualBox but it was not successful and caused a whole load of file

If you're interested in picking up some DC RPGs today for nostalgia I would recommend Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2, the latter did some to PS2 though.
