    Linux can mount windows drives (I don't recommend it, but it can if you need a file).

    Windows cannot mount Linux drives (in theory ext2fsd can do it but it's massive pain and it no longer works for me).

    If you install a game, either it works on Linux out of the box (it's native) or it works under proton, in which case steam will take care of that for you in most cases and at worst you have to change a single setting. Visit protondb to learn what games work and don't work on Linux.

    It's not incredible. The crew 2 is overall a very okay game that didn't need to exist, they could have easily remastered the crew 1 and make a better game. The coop is basically you get to play through any race including most story related ones with members of your party and if someone from your party wins you all get the progression. This means nothing as progressing is generally quite easy since the bots usually have way worse cars than you because getting parts upgrades is easy. Also the story isn't anything to write home about, it's the now classic "influencer drives car good", unlike the crew 1 which at least tried.

    I've finished all missions.

    Honestly? It's fine. The game is worse than the crew 1 (the map is considerably smaller despite both depicting the US, and the upgrade system feels worthless), but I've never felt the need to pay to get anything, and beyond 1 pop up on login, I've never even looked or been made to look at the store. If you're after top performance in online races then probably most people in the top of the rankings paid to be there, but imo the crew 2 is simply not a good multiplayer competition game. For solo or coop, you'll outclass the bots most of the time, the challenge is against yourself.

    It's a gigabyte ab350m gaming-3 rev 1.0. it boots grub fine but then crashes right after displaying "loading Linux 6.x", CPU led flashes then dram led stays on, I have to turn it off with the PSU switch.

    Either it's a rev 1.0 bug which is a thing on those motherboards, or the CPU (or igpu) is defective.

    You're right, you should hit PCIe 3 speeds and it's weird, but the fact that the drives swap speeds depending on how they're plugged in points to either drivers or the chipset.

    I'm not fully familiar with the overheads associated with all things going on on a chipset, but it's not unreasonable to think that this workload, plus whatever the chipset has to do (hardware management tasks mostly), as well as the CPU's other tasks on similar interfaces that might saturate the IO die/controller, would influence this.

    B350 isn't a very fast chipset to begin with, and I'm willing to bet the CPU in such a motherboard isn't exactly current-gen either. Are you sure you're even running at PCIe 3.0 speeds too? There are 2.0 only CPUs available for AM4.

    It might be that the data to both disks saturates a common link before the second disk reaches full iops capability, and thus the driver then writes at full speed on one disk and at half speed on the other, for twice as long.

    My hot take was that once it stopped being online-only, SimCity 2012 was actually quite an ok game. It got abandoned and has a bit of a balance problem (you can never ever ever build enough housing), and I'm not saying the game is perfect but it's quite serviceable and it looks very good, especially with the DLC. Personally I enjoyed it a lot, despite it's issues.

    Functionally no, the game doesn't appear to have crazy massive bugs.

    It's just another bland live service hero shooter, that was extremely poorly advertised (personally I never heard of it until a week after it came out). I think Sony thought that it's presence in their playstation store was enough to get it enough traction (to be entirely fair that did work with other, better games) to spread through word of mouth, but that requires the game is good.

    The basic premise is that they are itching so bad to be persecuted, but are lower middle class white people. They look at their lives and see that the thing oppressing them the most is the state, but since they're law-abiding citizens who believe fully that if you act lawfully you can get what you want, there must be a lawful way to get out of state oppression.

    The next step is to construct an arbitrary system of belief that magically explains your view of the world is correct, and Christianity has already done the work of frying their brain into thinking this is reasonable.

    Note that at no point do they even consider that there should be no reason the oppressive state (whether that is true or not is irrelevant) doesn't simply continue to opress them during their attempt at liberation, because the state oppressing someone is something that happens to people who do unlawful things, and they're not doing anything unlawful, according to their belief system.

    Custom T-shirts with extremely limited runs (hundreds) cost $10. Creators are selling them for $20+. Creator merch is a scam or if you want to look at it more positively, a donation with an item in return but no items sold by a creator is even close to a reasonable profit margin.

    The soaking rain thing has happened to me with a not particularly water resistant phone and it was fine. The water ratings are more intended for direct splashes and full immersion.

    My opinion is that this is a comfort we can do without, especially given the ecology and consumer rights implications (not that a phone with a user replaceable battery is necessarily porous to water, plenty of phones meet both criteria)

    That's the thing though, why is apple the only ones authorized to swap out your battery? That service isn't free, and they're massively overcharging you for it.

    It's also not impossible to build a phone that is water resistant and has a swappable battery, but that's besides the point. Personally I'd rather have a swappable battery.

    Apart from the mouse thing (which I'm skeptical about), cloudflare also correlates your traffic with other sites hosted on cloudflare.

    Generally when you buy ads, you may choose to pay per click that goes to your page at all, or you may choose to pay (more) per person who actually pays money for whatever you're selling. I can easily see a funeral flower company spending $20 per person who buys from them by being directed there by google, especially as the margins in the funeral industry are sky high.

    Here, it's probably an aggregate of CPC per client put next to "common Google trends searches for that industry", without actually any data to correlate that CPC is actually that high for a particular request.

    Looking for router recommendations with SFP ports

    hey all, i'm looking to replace my isp's router (i know that i can, it's basically just DHCP on a specific VLAN) with my own one and i'm looking for recommendations. here's what i would need out of it: - best price-to-performance ratio. the larger the NAT table it can keep in RAM the better (i run some things akin to ipv4 scanning) - OpenWRT support - at least one sfp port for internet access, supporting 5Gb/s. - at least one 1 Gb/s ethernet port - ideally 2-3 100Mb/s ethernet ports - wifi support: yes (don't need anything fancy, even 5GHz is optionnal but preffered) - LTE modem: dont care but nice to have i had a look around the OpenWRT supported devices table but since it doesn't really list ports and i need sfp, it takes a long time to go through and read german router pages. can anyone recommend a router that meets these at least partially?

    I have submitted an informal PR to fix images not rotating properly when posting

    If you're a Lemmy dev and reading this, the problem is in pict-rs. I have sent an email to asonix with the needed changes, please tell them to check their inbox (since I can't register on their git server, I can't submit a formal PR). Send me a PM if the email gets lost and I'll give you the line you need. If you're not a Lemmy dev: Have you encountered an image that is suspiciously rotated here on Lemmy? Perhaps you even tried posting an image that looks right yourself and found it rotated itself! Why?! The reason is that Lemmy strips all metadata from images you upload to it. This is because image metadata can contain, among other things, GPS coordinates or where it was taken. The problem is that when you take a picture with your phone in landscape, instead of rotating the image in memory, your phone saves the image sideways (because that's how it came off the sensor) and then adds a metadata tag that tells everyone to rotate the image as they are displaying it. You guessed it, that tag also gets deleted. In most cases, this is fine because either the picture wasn't rotated to begin with, or Lemmy image hosts actually save the properly rotated image before stripping the tag, but in some image formats, this isn't the case due to a programming oversight. I have found the fix and sent it to the person responsible for the image hosting code.
