i can't justify not doing that kind of stuff. maybe i'm just lazy/stupid

electronics and stuff is hobby/work for many who dip in them

rest use those "smart devices"

My face recognition camera has an ir blaster next to it

Could it be used to operate tv's and such?

if you can get access to that ir-led with app

sure

"universal remote" apps

Don't think I can

anymote is probly the first things id test

Not sure if its a setting I am missing

hell you could control your air conditioner and DSLRs with same thing

but yeah ir-led sadly aint same as IR-Blaster in most cases

ir-blaster being more powerfull led usualy

@Deleted User what phone

so

whats the non-meme reason for Red Hat/Canonical's hard on for Gnome?

gnome sucks my penor in every way I can imagine

why not ? if it works and has better support than others ? why switch

and switching whole codebase to some random new thing from gnome would take years

and introduce many bugs

and possible breaks we havent heard of on production side of things

just making all the tutorials,training videos etc broken by switching to different thing would break and lose many customers

@Tervy pocophone

yeah but you can use inertia to justify any stagnation.

the cost of moving from fax to email in the business environment was probably very high

most likely said move brought more benefit than costs

unlike breaking workflow and visual look of thousands and thousands of users

ye

@Deleted User did some digging and apparently the porcophones "ir" led is only used for facial rego and does not provice actual IR-port option out of the box

BUT if you contact some custom rom nerds i bet enabling that IR-led hardware to send user-controlled pulses can be done (on side note apparently lineage os has yet to get that ir-camera working properly but dunno if that is camera + led or just the camera controls what are buggy currently)

and as its not "proper Blaster" more like wide angle smd led its range can be low

Yeah I noticed it burning when i did the face rego

I'll probably just keep one of those .40$ pins around. Also makes for a nice gift

>linux is awful on HiDpi 4k screens

why didn't anyone tell me this

it's not?

solus has great HiDpi scaling

KDE and kwin in general have the best hidpi support

kwin is the only one with proper fractional scaling

"its not bad, its unimplemented"
