@pavel @techsupport @aliceif It wasn’t lying. Turns out the drive was fine, actually! It seems like the problem was caused by a dusty M.2 slot.

@BananaTrifleViolin You are a genius. It’s been ten days now and the drive has been working flawlessly.

☝🏻 Clean your M.2 slots, everyone.

@Thorry84 Yes, of course.

PNY’s own “SSD Toolbox” reports 100% SSD Life (whatever that means) and no available firmware updates. I can also “optimizate” my SSD here, which is funny.

@aliceif @techsupport It’s just always the same entry saying something like “command completed successfully”

@BananaTrifleViolin Good idea. The M.2 slot was left unpopulated for years before I added this drive. It’s possible that some dust got in there causing a connection issue.

I re-seated it and wiggled it around a bit to ensure any dust between the contacts got out of the way. It’s being properly recognised now, but we’ll see for how long.

@techsupport Turns out Lemmy doesn’t support images in comments. If you’re on Lemmy, click the Fediverse icon for screenshots.

@aliceif @techsupport I have never seen SMART report an actual problem in a useful way, and also not this time. The drive claims it’s fine.

Nevermind, Linux also doesn’t like it now. I guess it’s faulty. *sigh*

I don’t think it’s fake. I got it from a local shop which I usually trust.

@thisweekinkde @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Those are some very good fixes and improvements! You can really tell you guys are finally done with the Qt6 migration stuff.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Thank you. I was actually just looking for a 2D vector animation program.

@Plume Oh yeah and this: Start the game in a neutral area or room where you can test the controls and sound are working properly and ensure the performance is right BEFORE the intro cutscene plays.

@Plume The Witness has no menu and no savegames. When you boot it up, you’re instantly exactly where you left off.

This doesn’t work for all games, but I wish more games would do it like that.

@AnonStoleMyPants @tal And being able to pause a cutscene (That includes putting the system to sleep now!)

@DerpyPlayz18 They are not instant. I also don’t feel comfortable giving my biometric data to some shady company just so I can unlock my phone.

@ijeff I’m never going to use passkeys because they require to have a lockscreen on the device, and I don’t have one.

You might think “Isn’t that kinda dangerous?”

And I say: My devices are never left unattended, so a lockscreen is just an obstacle to get back where I was. Honestly, try disabling your lockscreen. The fact that you can press one button and be right where you left off is priceless.

So, screw passkeys and their stupid rules.

@douglasg14b @fwygon I love Kagi. For technical topics, the search quality is unparalleled. For everything else it’s about the same.

@Lojcs You think so? It must do something on the hardware level. If you install something like @postmarketos and let the deivce just sit doing nothing with its screen off, the battery doesn’t last nearly as long as with Android. There must be some trickery going on…

Update: Most issues were fixed through updates, I guess we just wanted to play in a really unfortunate time.

The locking up problem is related to a DLL mismatch when attempting #Windows / #Linux crossplay. In short: Copy your Windows friends’ ucrtbase.dll from both the System32 and the SysWOW64 folders to your Windows folder in #Steam’s compatdata folder and you’re good to go!

We had a great time playing last night.

@jackpot You add every device to every other device and they connect directly to each other. If direct connection isn’t possible (1 out of 10 times) then a relay server is used. The relays are provided by the community for free (I am running one).
