@meta_enix @no_time4photo @Pirat_Nation they never touched windows. Always were on modified freebsd(PS3 and up)

@no_time4photo @Pirat_Nation You didn't need to exploit it on Playstation as it was Windows CE, which was bugged to hell.

Amazon has ended easy sideloading on all new Fire TV Sticks going forward. Amazon has switched to Vega OS (Linux-based, not Android/Fire OS) starting with the Fire TV Stick 4K Select in late 2025. This now applies to every new model, including the recently announced Fire TV Stick HD. What this actually means: -No more easy sideloading: Can’t install third-party APKs like Stremio, Kodi or Cinema HD. No “Unknown Sources” toggle limited to Amazon’s Appstore only. -Product pages warn buyers that sideloading is blocked for security reasons. -Developer sideloading exists but requires registration and special tools, not practical for regular users. >Older Fire Sticks are unaffected (for now) -The Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen / 2023) and earlier still run Fire OS and fully support sideloading. -Amazon won’t force existing sticks to upgrade to Vega OS. Amazon made this change to stop piracy, reduce malware risks, and gain tighter control. Vega OS currently has far fewer apps. If you rely on sideloading, grab a current 4K Max or Fire TV Cube now. Otherwise look at alternatives like the NVIDIA Shield or other Android TV boxes. The era of easily jailbroken Fire Sticks is ending for new purchases.

@Tank23x0 @TutaPrivacy This is possibly the worst take i have ever read.

@TutaPrivacy Buying hardware doesn’t give you full ownership takeover of the software. Sideloading warriors just want hackedSnapchat.apk cause they lonely and poor.

We did it everyone! We forced Google not to be evil. 💪 🎉 Side-loading will be cumbersome, but it will remain possible. Thanks everyone for speaking up against Google's plans! 🙏 ❤️

@npalsensei @Michael_Urwin @mygamesir mac is definitely more private than windows

@Michael_Urwin @mygamesir If you're on a mac, it's a bit late to think about your privacy.

Windows games on Mac? It’s happening. From Windows AAA hits to indie favorites, GameHub brings them all to Mac. Join the Beta Test 👇

@Malix_Labs @CachyOS @HSVSphere very tricky question. at this point you should definitely try it with and without on your actual workload, since thats what matters in the end.

@CachyOS @HSVSphere Okay that makes sense, but can't it possibly have more downsides than upsides? >On single-user desktop systems you control all the software running. There's no adversarial threat model." I am using the cachyos kernel and proton on NixOS, but this quote makes me doubt it

This has literally _zero_ performance wins. In fact removing bus mitigation is actively harmful because x86 bus locks make the system crawl to a halt. Catching these are done by the hardware and CachyOS removes the Linux exception handler that will handle the exception. Horrible

@vegetadev @CachyOS Yeah thats possible, CachyOS is meant to be one of the fastest linux distros(and it does that pretty damn well). Its hard to be fastest OS when the game you are playing is not even meant to run on the OS youre playing it at, its impresive we even got to this point(wine & proton)

@CachyOS Honestly, I didn't notice any difference in playing some titles on Steam, between Windows 11 and CachyOS. In fact, in some scenarios Window 11 also had higher fps.

CachyOS just took the #1 spot on ProtonDB. Arch Linux held it since 2021 🚀 Thank you all for your support!

@ReimuNotMoe or if i read this correctly x.com/ReimuNotMoe/st… this would be /boot/efi - bootloader / - kernel+initramfs+everything else disadvantage is that encryption is kind of pain in this setup(imo)

@ReimuNotMoe distros like fedora have: /boot/efi - bootloader /boot - kernel and initramfs / - everything else

If you look at the comment section, you'll see a lot of smartasses demonstrating their broken understandings of what is an EFI partition. My EFI partition is only 64MB and only 970KB is used. Yet I'm still "using a rolling distro". And I have 400+GB to store my kernel images.

Got very inspired to draw Amelia 💀🇬🇧💜 (Not AI)

@ArinzeCliffordd @RetroHandhelds Future proofing? This is a DS like console with sd865, if you want to play anything else than emulators of older systems and some android games, buy steamdeck.

@RetroHandhelds Looks cool, but I’m not fully sold yet. At that price I’d want a bit more future-proofing.

The AYN Thor Lite model is now available for pre-order from their website for $249. This has 8gb of ram, 128gb of storage, and a Snapdragon 865 chip inside. Do you think it's worth it for the price? rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-Lite (aff link)

Sincerely fuck you @OpenAI @ChatGPTapp

@heyshipz Hi

say hi to RICO or have a horrible day forever

@VadimYuryev am i missing something? is there really a point of running cinebench on such machine and complaining about thermal throttling? the machine is using all of the available thermal headroom to deliver max perf, is that an issue? would you prefer if it was limited to prevent throttle?

Bad news for the M5 MacBook Air.. The single fan on the new M5 MacBook Pro is NOT keeping up, leading to thermal throttling of the M5 chip in Cinebench 2024. Single to Multi-core score ratio: M4: 5.38x M5: 5.07x Apple, PLEASE give us 2 fans! Link to full video below 👇

@seedphi @haydendevs Good stuff

@haydendevs Omarchy if that's your thing otherwise please dodge a bullet and avoid gnome, use KDE if you want an actually tameable GUI. also Zsh over Bash, with e.g Oh-My-Zsh wrapper for awesome per-word history autocomplete finally tmux everything else secondary. PS: uv for Python!

what should I install first?

@dappvibe @sysxplore intresting

Did you know you can actually drop zeros in an IP address and it still works. For example: 10.20.0.2 → 10.20.2 10.0.0.68 → 10.68 Both reach the same host. It’s one of those neat little IP quirks I use in labs , saves me a few keystrokes every time 😅

@cheetum @Pirat_Nation "Steam os works well for the Steam Deck because its specifically optimized for that device." False, steamos is generic x86 Arch linux. Its not even optimized as Cachy os(x86_64 V3/V4) is for modern pcs. Also W11 sucks L take.

@Pirat_Nation I don't understand the reluctance to upgrade to W11. Its free and has several advantages over W10 for gaming. SteamOS works well for the Steam Deck because its specifically optimized for that device. It lacks broad hardware and driver support needed for desktops gaming PCs.

Why hasn't Gabe released a SteamOS version for generic desktop PCs? He has the perfect opportunity now as Microsoft forces users off Windows 10 and people seek alternatives. SteamOS is the only Linux distro polished and easy enough for the average gamer to install. He's missing a golden opportunity.
