So I bought a new mouse, of course it came with RGB nonsense. Before purchasing I checked it could be disabled.

Software to control RGB? 300MB. Who knows what the hell else that'll be doing.

Plugged it into my Linux laptop, download OpenRGB, 1.7MB application that supports more than just this brand. Turn off the rgb, click save to device.

Even Nintendo has gyros in their controllers

Nintendo have had gyros in their controllers since 2006 with the release of the Wii. Basically right there with Sony (Nov 11th vs Nov 19th 2006)

If the cause of this is because of Cyberpunk then that's ridiculous. It'd be like Steam deleting cloud saves because someone's Half Life save file got too big... It's their own game, marketplace and ecosystem.

Blast from the past! I had this on cdrom. As a child I remember our old computer that had Sim City 2000 on didn't have a cdrom drive. Our new computer did. I fondly remember copying my favourite cities from the old to new via floppy disk. Those were the days!

That's super interesting. Do you have a source you could link for this data?

You can also use systemctl status $pid to find out what service a process is from.

Yeah for my case it was easier in the initrd otherwise I'd be trying to roll back the active / partition.

Re run levels, they were a sysvinit thing so I wasn't sure sure about systemd, this suggests that would work though https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SysVinit_to_Systemd_Cheatsheet

And if you have to bail out even earlier, run level 1 will give you the rescue.target

Pass something stupid via your bootloader so it aborts boot and dumps you in an initrd busybox shell. No usb required.

This was my poor man's boot environments when I was using zfs on root. I had a pacman hook to snapshot before package transactions, then if it became unbootable I'd interrupt the following boot attempt, edit my grub command line with something wrong so I'd get dumped in the busybox shell, import my zfs pool and roll back before finally rebooting again.

Similar here, bought car in 2011 and will drive it till it dies. I'm happy with an 3.5mm port.

But for those that do feel like Bluetooth etc are must have features. You can buy head units, with touch screens and Android auto and Apple CarPlay for only a few hundred dollars, and often support connecting rear cameras etc.

I think if anything I'd view it from the other direction. We had machines with hardware support for memory protection and multitasking and we got DOS. DOS was the abberation.

Microsoft was a Xenix vendor before it sold DOS.

I used to turn to custom roms to extend the life of my phone. My first smartphone didn't get an official update after I purchased it for example. The custom roms often made the phone snappier too.

These days I'm on a mid range Samsung phone released almost 4 years ago and it's still getting updates.
