that's pretty standard for laptop panels, most enterprise models (thinkpad, elitebook, etc.) ship with similar spec (6-bit, 256K colors, 200ish nits, 70ish sRGB). that's what essentially this is, salvaged laptop panel + cheap controller board + plastic. for $50, it's okay.

there are monitors with better specs (e.g. there's a 16" one with purportedly 100% sRGB), but those are aliexpress specs so I wouldn't put too much stock in those.

so one cable for both video and power via USB Type-C? phone, laptop, which model? tried it under wayland, issues? thanks

them monitors have standard HDMI in, so anything can drive them. for power, there are USB power inputs (a powerbank is easily taped to the back), and then another cable to relay touch. so, kinda cumbersome...

what's way more interesting to me is that they have USB Type-C and there are youtube videos showing phones attached to them with a single cable transmitting video and power and relaying back touch input! not all phones support that, e.g. flagship samsungs do, the ones that support Dex.

question is, how does a laptop that supports DP-Alt handle that; there aren't any videos of users achieving same functionality that way. like, if a phone can power it I'm sure a laptop with 10x the battery can do as well... or?

and then, there's the main reason why this is in "Linux"... how and does it work with wayland and friends?

try it with a live USB with Gnome as it is way more touch friendly. Fedora latest recommended because the live USB has a Wayland session (older versions default to X11 and a buncha touch and transition features are Wayland-only).

as to seamless transition, no DE on linux is there yet. Gnome is way better than it was a year or two ago in that regard, but flakyness is still present, expecting the polish and reliability of Android or iPadOS isn't realistic.

and then there's this:

Judge Perlman, who was — no shit — Jewish, did not care for Nazis. This led him to reach out to one of the most powerful Jewish guys around: Meyer Lansky. Judge Perlman, as you might expect, hadn’t done Meyer any favors in the past. He had for example helped to end Prohibition, the repeal of which, while generally extremely popular, wasn’t great for the Meyer Lanskys of the world, who had been making bank off illegal booze. But when Perlman met with Meyer after the rise of the German American Bund, they ended up getting along pretty well. Perlman was like “I want you to disrupt meetings of Nazis” and Meyer was like “excellent, on it,” and Perlman was like “hang on I’m not finished” and Meyer was like “sorry” and Perlman was like “I will pay you and give you legal assistance, should anyone get arrested. The only condition is, don’t kill anyone.” With what I can only imagine to be the world’s greatest eye roll, Meyer said “Ugh fine, I won’t kill anyone. Also, I don’t want your money.”

And then he went to work.

tried 'em all and they all suck. it's possible there are options that work for monolingual people, but for simultaneously using 3-4 languages without annoying switching back and forth, there is no alternative.

since android 15 you can disable network access to any app and that's how I run gboard, the only google app I have on my mobile devices.

re: sony changing their deal with you because someone else changed their deal with them, for any lawyer worth their salt this should be a walk in the park. since the days of roman law the principle is that your obligations with party A don't influence your obligations towards party B.

sony is free to change the deal for future users, but the deal you made with sony is/should be the same as the day it was made.

enter regulation capture and doing away with even the pretense of rule of law. everything that follows is of their own making.

possible. I tried it at one point with the -Z option, which should disable compression but no change, same result.

works. still would like to know what the issue is with adb.

tl;dr - attacker needs to be connected to your wifi to exploit it. wish they'd lead with that.

not a plex user but someone buried the lede here... to me, this is the neon sign that screams GTFO:

we noticed that you've accessed libraries in the past

what business of yours is it to notice my private comings and goings?! what other actionable intel do y'all keep in your logs?! bye!
