Perhaps this could be used to jailbreak the PS5 🤔

Yeah I have an xperia 5 iii. It's not compact, it's just narrow (seriously hate the ultra wide phone displays). Also heavy as a brick.

I've played all sims games and all work on linux with wine. Sims 1 is the hardest to get to work because you need a CD crack to get it to run. Sims 2 and newer works great in my experience. I'd recommend using Bottles to install Sims 2. You can install it from CD and play it like normal. Need some tweaks to get widescreen though (but you have that issue on windows as well).

Sims 3 I've played in bottles through the EA app (I own a digital copy there). Worked out of the box (bottles has a way to install the ea store app easily). Sims 4 I've played on steam (using proton).

I think realtime is on mainline now since 6.12 though so anyone with at least 6.12 should be able to use rt functionality.

I'll continue to call it forge joe. It's more cute. It's like "where do I put these files?" "Just give them to Joe, he'll know where to store them".

In ~/src Mostly because I'm too lazy to type "source".

Kinda not what you're asking about but pop OS does provide an nvidia version of the ISO, so you wouldn't need to configure anything in the first place if you chose the correct ISO. Same with nobara, and probably other gaming focused distros.

Might be related to those sleep state stuff that microsoft keep pushing. I think LTT has a video about how it causes battery to drain while off. I think the solution was either shutting it down while unplugged, or while plugged in or something. If you always shut the laptop down with the charger plugged in try to unplug the charger before shutting it down and see if it makes a difference. Or the opposite. I don't remember which it was.

To be fair I haven't configured a firewall either on my laptop. But that's out of lazyness, not out of good practice. Good practice would be to have a firewall enabled. Just because something is unlikely to happen statistically doesn't mean it's bad practice to take steps to protect against it.

I fail to see why this is bad advice. Sure you could just disable the firewall on your computer on a local network. But that's under the assumption that you can trust everything on your local network. What if it's a laptop? Do you also trust any public networks you may connect to on the go? Having firewall both on the router and on your computer provides an additional layer of security, and I think that's good advice in general. You can for example set it up to only allow incoming connections when connected to your home network for example.

Anyone know what real time means here? Does it mean that sleeping a thread is more accurate (as in the thread is resumed at the correct time after calling sleep)? Or is there an API that implements some functionality for something that should run in real time?

Wrapping a value in a mutex just makes sense. After learning a bit of Rust I made a similar mutex wrapper in C++ when I had to protect a class member in a C++ project. I just had to change the type in the declaration, and bam the compiler tells me about all places this member was accessed. Much easier than using some buggy 'find all references', potentially forgetting a few places.
