A fair opinion. I simply try to avoid building a personal dependency on something that isn’t maintained so I’m less impacted if it suddenly breaks or there’s a vulnerability.

It’s a great tool though. One of the best security extensions bar noscript.

I did for a long time but Ray stopped maintaining it so I stopped using it.

Of all the things that should have been native from the very beginning is the fudging “user interface”.

Product management have lost their minds. 10 was the final Windows for me.

Funnily enough, given the payloads were .PS1 and .EXE, he probably wouldn’t have.

I had to help a buddy pick up the pieces after he ran a pirated game which had, unbeknown to him, been bundled with an infostealer.

He saw a momentary CMD window too.

A couple of minutes after he ran the game, the infostealer had vacuumed up all his credentials saved in his web browser including the session token for Microsoft.

The actor behind it took control of his MS account and removed the account recovery settings he’d set (since with the session token, they didn’t even need to authenticate). Lost his email, cloud backups, Xbox everything, etc.

Microsoft weren’t much help but they did transfer his Xbox profile. Everything else, they wouldn’t help with.

Don’t run software you don’t trust, kids. At the very least run it in a sandbox or something and scan the files it unpacks with a security product or three.

They had previously been growing around 40 million to 60 million active users a quarter.

With this first quarter of minus 20 million active users, it very well could indicate that the Facebook growth engine is over.

Ultimately we’ll need to see how the next few Qs work out.

To everyone who isn’t wrapping themselves in aluminum, these companies don’t have teams writing viruses. This has been regurgitated around since the 90s and it’s hilariously false.

Linux also shows up more in CVE databases etc because many distributions also assign their own CVEs for the same bugs.

I thought Lepton was being built on top of Waydroid? So technically you can already use the core feature of Lepton today.

You could check out the game Turing Complete as it’s a really fun intro into how computers compute from a single logic gate upwards. Gives a great perspective on how assembly languages works. You can even make your own instruction set and CPU architecture in the game!

Flicks using original Steam Controller

Touchpad + gyro is closer to mouse than gamepad in terms of aiming accuracy.

You can actually play PC competitive shooters on a Steam Controller / Deck against KB&M users and hold your own against most players. The same can’t be said for gamepad.

Great. Now my granola tastes like sadness.

Found the Qubes user.

It’ll have that on Linux like last time. You just need to set the uinput driver for the device. They had a generic gamepad one in the kernel for the OG. But not loaded by default as it’ll look like a kb&m out of the box unless you set a user-level driver config for the HIDs.

Valve were very supportive of Linux if people didn’t want to use Steam/Steam Input but other OS didn’t get their efforts beyond the Steam client.

You should definitely use those alternatives and they sound superior.

At the end of the day, this is the Steam Machine’s controller and it’s designed for use in the Steam and Linux ecosystem. Its behaviour and lack of generic xinput is intentional.

I’m surprised people think this is odd since the original Steam Controller was the same - it’s a Steam Input device, not XInput.

If you consider what it was designed for, it makes sense. This isn’t another generic controller but a controller designed for a Linux/PC-based video games console (Steam Machine).

If you boot into a desktop UI without Steam running, desktop UIs don’t support xinput devices to navigate around them.

The Steam Controller thus defaults to presenting itself as a keyboard and mouse so that the UI can be navigated without Steam running.

If it was xinput, you’d be reaching for a keyboard and mouse to plug in just to click Steam and then immediately no longer need them.

That’s why it’s not an xinput device.

Effluently shining!
