Games@lemmy.world•Day 576 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playingEnglish
3·11 days agoI started the original Oblivion not long ago, been playing for some tens of hours. First time experiencing the Elder Scrolls, it’s an interesting game with quite some depth. I got turned into a vampire and am doing a vampire quest and it’s a bit tedious with not being able to stay in the sunlight but other than that it’s a good game.
Oblivion doesn’t feel too far from modern game mechanics, but what about morrowind?

1·1 month agoWould something like LACT (https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT) help? It may not be compatible with that specific GPU model, but if it is, it can allow for TDP, clocks etc to be controlled. Maybe useful for your specific issue?

Games@lemmy.world•Ubisoft Randomly Gives Far Cry 3 A 60FPS Current-Gen UpgradeEnglish
28·1 month agoFunnily enough, this is the type of issues proton solves beautifully and transparently on linux, making it a great gaming platform in general but particularly so for aging video games! If you own this game on steam, just launching it on linux should work out of the box.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•PSA: Don't use nextcloud's auto upload on the android app as a backupEnglish
2·3 months agoThank you! It seems the ongoing 3.35 version is reimplementing the auto-upload logic, so this is promising. It is still in RC stage, but hopefully will be stable soon.

Opensource@programming.dev•I'm making a FOSS all-in-one file converter app - looking for opinions!
4·3 months agoI recently came across https://vert.sh/ which is a we app and frontend for ffmpeg and imagemagick but all the processing is happening locally on your device (except videos I think).
It’s even open source: https://github.com/VERT-sh/VERT
Surprised I had to scroll this much to see her being mentioned.
Made a sizable donation. I encourage you all to help them manage this situation, defend themselves and keep up their good work.

5·3 months agoMicrosoft has an additional requirement where “_optout” has to be somewhere in the SSID (not necessarily at the end). This was detailed in a now deleted support post.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Someone Snuck Into a Cellebrite Microsoft Teams Call and Leaked Phone Unlocking Details
7·4 months agoThis is a good precision to be aware of.
It is still an important function because in some places law enforcement may be legally authorized to compel a user to unlock their phone using biometrics, but of course if you disable biometrics, there are less options to force you to enter your passphrase/password etc.

Same, using the default storage template.
I’ve not been able to make it work reliably with photos backed up using immich on my android phone, is if working for you? I read somewhere storage templates are not very robust/reliable.















Some apps will rely on Google services to determine whether they are running on a “secure” device (ie determined by Google). This is refered to as hardware attestation. But there is a Google version of it and a generic version of it (which is implemented in GrapheneOS). If the bank relies on the Google version, it will fail on GrapheneOS, despite actually having hardware attestation.
You can read more about it here : https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide
