Understandable. You can still find other laptops second hand and cheaper, that are upgradable. I think the market of used windows laptops is even bigger than the apple one. At the end of the day, it's your money. Do what you please pf course :)

No one should buy a laptop with every single fucking component soldered on. Fuck Apple and every company that does what they do. Get yourself a Framework laptop or one from an actual Linux vendor like System76, Tuxedo, Starlabs......etc. That way you're able to upgrade your shit down the road when you need to. Apple shit is you get what you get.

Why is HD or 3D so impressive on a flat screen, but we walk around in real life with the highest definition possible and the most realistic 3D and it's completely mundane? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Because we are on autopilot. We don't concentrate on what we were born with. It's a part of us. There is actually a word for it that I can't remember. You don't look at everything on your way to work. You just get there and don't even think about it.

They tried to make it with "respecting privacy" and all that shit that they never really cared about ~~yo~~ to begin with and was just bullshit to try to get people to switch over. Now, they're going the other route where they're just another data mining platform like YouTube. Use Tubular. It's a frontend for YouTube without the bullshit. You just can't sign in and comment. Or you can use GrayJay. It connects to several platforms at once, like YouTube, rumble, Odessy....etc

If y'all are mad about this, look into Midori. It's a fork of florp and I think it's better, too.

Is it possible to disable the auto lock when entering password wrong on lock screen (lemmy.kde.social)

There is this useless feature where the lock screen tells you that the account is locked for 10 minutes because of three failed attempts to log in, but then I can just bypass it by forcing my computer off then powering it back on. Then what's the point of having it? I just got a new mechanical keyboard and I don't know if it has an issue or something, but it happened twice today without me doing anything while the pc is asleep, and it is annoying AF having to force shut down my pc by holding down the power button. This might also cause data loss for me. Is there a way to disable this thing?

Thanks

Screen goes black periodically when playing video games (lemmy.kde.social)
 

Hi all, Not sure if this is a distro specific, DE specific, a monitor brand specific or just linux/AMD in general. So, I have an RX580 GPU. It is an older one, but does just for what I do on my PC (emulation). Everything works fine until I start one of the emulators and play a game. I have two 27" 4k monitors, a dell and a sceptre. Once the game starts, the sceptre monitor starts going black every couple of seconds, then comes back up. This continues until I stop the game. Both monitors are connected through DP to the GPU. Not sure what to do, to be honest. All drivers are there when I checked (as far as I know). This happens on both wayland and xorg. Any input is greatly appreciated! If anyone needs more info, please let me know. Thank you

How to change launch option on the steam app? (lemmy.kde.social)
 

Hi all, I have a 4k monitor and the steam app is very tiny. I have found out that I can fix it by running the app in the terminal with steam -forcedesktopscaling 2, but it is getting tiring launching it through the terminal. Is there any way I can change something in the app itself and make it launch with that command? KDE Plasma on endeavour OS is what I'm running Tried going into the .desktop file to add the command somewhere in the "exec", but failed. Could someone please help? Thank you
