I had one of these done for an endoscopy - it ended horribly. It got “stuck” so I ended up having to have surgery for it to be removed.

Getting that surgery coordinated and scheduled took months all the while my health was declining. Eventually it got so bad that I couldn’t hold down food and I had to be pre-admitted to the hospital a month before the procedure and put on IV nutrition…

Granted I do have an autoimmune GI condition which is what prompted that test in the first place, and the chances of this happening is supposedly quite small but… Yeah I’ll take the endoscopy and colonoscopy over even that small chance of going through all of that all over again…

I’m not sure if this is a Pixel feature or if its available across all of Android, but there is an option when you connect over USB to connect your phone as a webcam - but that is of course tethered instead of being wireless.

Let us know how it goes, and if you have any further questions, feel free to give us a shout!

Ah, gotcha - yeah that is definitely one of the pitfalls of Linux gaming still, which is the “there’s so many different configurations and some of them just work, others don’t” issue. I have an AMD card so perhaps it is an Nvidia issue - hopefully those sorts of issues smooth out once NVK is fully ready to go.

What issues does Forza have on Linux? I can’t speak for the Motorsport series, but I’ve been playing 4 and 5 on my Steam Deck and desktop for a while now without issue.

I haven’t tried it myself, but I believe the OC is referring to the webcam USB mode that Pixels (idk if this is an Android feature or a “Pixel” feature) have. To enable it, connect over USB then you’ll have a notification along the lines of “Charging this device over USB”.

If you click that notification it’ll let you enable Webcam over USB mode, which I assume just causes the phone to act as any other webcam device would.

Congrats on the new home!

Things are also constantly improving over time as well, so its very possible that OP’s setup was somewhat problematic a while ago but have since been resolved.

Which would also make sense if the hardware itself was super new at the time, and didn’t have proper kernel modules for it when it was originally released perhaps.

This looks like a fantastic update! Huge thanks to everyone involved!

Same with my Stadia controller - funnily enough, Windows is the one that required me to purchase some third party software to be able to use it wired or wireless…

Definitely keep us in the loop!

They have their own hosting plans, but you can also self host it.

Looks great, nice job!

Were you using X11 before, by chance? IIRC Fedora 40 dropped X11, and only ships with Wayland by default. The fact that all of your apps are using the same screen sharing interface sounds like they’re using the screen share portal due to running under a Wayland session, which Discord doesn’t currently support currently.

For a while there was a workaround using a tool called XWaylandVideoBridge but even that stopped working for me.

I’ve heard that Vesktop supports screensharing under Wayland (and supposedly with sound support too), and it is available on Flathub - might be worth a try.

Oh that is perfect, thank you! Funnily enough, pasting into VNC sessions is exactly what I needed something like this for as well - you’ve taken a lot of future pain out of my workday!

I’d love to find an alternative to xdotool’s auto type feature (or ClickPaste from Windows).

There is wtype but unfortunately it doesn’t work in KDE nor GNOME because neither of them support the right protocol. I’ve run into the “<DE> hasn’t implemented $PROTOCOL” a few times in the past and it’s certainly a bit annoying.

Aside from when that comes up, I don’t really have any complaints. A tool we used for work was never going to be fully functional on Wayland because of its dependence on Xinerama (I think) but thankfully we’ve moved away from it.

If there’s anything that I’ve learned, it’s that lawsuits are more often than not, just a joke to the large companies.

Hell it’s often easier for them to just classify whatever fine they get slapped on the wrist with as a business expense, than to do the right thing, it seems.

Oh wow, that does sound glorious! I’m definitely looking to get an OLED TV (or at least an OLED monitor) next, I’ve had an OLED screen on my phone for a while now but it wasn’t until I recently picked up the OLED Steam Deck that made me go “Wow this is amazing!” - now I want it everywhere haha.

Dang, OLED TVs haven’t even gotten to my price range yet! Though admittedly I could probably do a better job at looking I suppose…

AFAIK the inbox analogy that the previous user wrote applies on an instance level, so in your example the LW admin would still see it (assuming it was against a LW user or something in one of their communities, I believe).

The “mark report as resolved” option doesn’t federate to other instances, if that makes sense. It’ll mark it as resolved for that whole instance (so a community mod won’t see the report anymore once an admin from that instance marks it as resolved and vice versa), but not other instances.

At least, that’s as far as I understand it, don’t quote me on that 😅
