The short term goal is only to learn the absolute basics of programming. I only mentioned GIS to give some context on why I was narrowing down the language to python.
She’s familiar with all the keywords you mentioned as she already works in GIS, just not as a developer.
Looks great, thanks a bunch! EDIT: ordered it! :D
I have tried the PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 before and I can tell you it definitely helps. The game is unplayable without it, to be honest. The VRAM still fills up but it’s not instantly, it takes quite a while. Makes the problem manageable.
Edit: Several people have reported that this VRAM bug doesn’t happen on AMD cards. If you happen to have one, you might give it a try.
Unfortunately I do not. I bought this nvidia card long before I switched to Linux and boy, do I regret it.
I believe that config needs to be in the working directory context of the game, but maybe I’m misremembering that.
Yep, I tried that as well. I have the exact same file in /gamedrive//SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Diablo IV/
If upon starting your game, it immediately starts using 10GB of vid mem, then that is what is needed by the game to run. Setting this to 8GB is going to magically make it run by using less.
But the game does quickly fill 10GB with both low and ultra settings. It hints to me that the game doesn’t need 10GB to run. It just makes use of the available memory. My theory is that using 8GB would at least make my desktop usable. Currently, switching to my browser in the second monitor can break the game. If I never focus out of the game it doesn’t break.
See if you can force a specific renderer that is more stable.
What are the available options? I haven’t tried this.
Thanks a bunch!
It’s a gigantic money sink, it’s going to be extremely hard to come up with a profitable (or break even) alternative.
The only one pretending mistakes can’t happen is the person I replied to. Mistakes definitely can happen and no programming language is fool proof.
Continuing my car analogy, would you rather drive a car with airbags and seatbelts or one without them? Of course you can still have a fatal accident, but it’s nice to have safety features that make it as unlikely as possible.
Every car has airbags if you drive well enough. Right?
This is really nice for games optimized for the touch screen such as Football Manager or Magic the Gathering. Holding the deck with one hand and playing with the other is uncomfortable after a while.
Thanks for remembering me! I ended up getting a pillow for iPad.
This looks like a much, much nicer solution. Unfortunately shipping to Portugal alone is 71 euros making this a truly unreasonable price for me. Hopefully they get really popular and come to Europe!
I’m always wary of buying second hand phones. How healthy is that battery going to be?
If you try with a Tor browser you’ll get a unique ID everytime.
Feel free to try this one instead: https://www.amiunique.org/fingerprint
Or whatever website you prefer, really. Fingerprinting is not solved by a single extension or checkbox. It’s really hard.
You can try to fool it with a VPN, change country, etc but it doesn’t work. Fingerprinting is very strong these days.
100% agree. Charging for the unlimited email alias is fine but 2FA? :/
I have worked in retail to help pay for university. It was a miserable job. Dealing with people made me a worse person.
I am very “passionate” about Proton Pass but don’t take me for a Proton chill, I have a lot of criticism about their other products.
This is crazy to read, thanks for sharing! How did you store/remember all the passwords?
This is not a real solution. You’re supposed to have a unique password for everything. Managing that notebook would be an hassle, not to mention backing it up. It would easily have dozens of records, if not hundreds.
I’ve been using Proton Pass and it has been a game changer for me. Hot take: I think Proton Pass is Proton’s best service.
It creates not only a unique password for each service but also a unique email address alias. If a website leaks my email address and I get spam, I know exactly who did it and I only need to swap 1 login credential.
Has a built-in 2FA and passkeys. Works great in the browser with proper auto complete, even for the 2FA code. Works fine on Android and password in both browser and applications get autocomplete.
Proton Pass can be used by everyone, regardless of their technical level, in every device. My mom could easily use this across all her devices. I’m told Keepass is fantastic but having it sync across all her devices would be challenging for her.
Most Proton services feel kinda underbaked but Proton Pass is excellent.
You can export all your passwords to an encrypted and password protected file. I ocasionally back it up to a USB device so that I always have an offline copy available.
Still, one of these days I was logged out of my proton pass on Android and couldn’t connect to the internet. I was locked down.
Yep, it’s off :(
Yep, it’s a git! :)
