That's wild, I got the screenshot generated by the archive.today website itself & sat there archiving it smdh

It should work now I just rearchived it

Well most of Taiwan is ready to unify, it's mostly the ruling class propped up by the US opposed to it. With the issues they have created for Taiwanese semiconductor companies there are probably even former loyalists ready to turn tail and run.

It's really the US - which can only dream of a war across the Pacific now - which wants a military confrontation. Mainland China will become too lucrative for Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea to ignore the more the US financial stranglehold starts to slip & China develops. Peaceful reunification is inevitable and war is merely possible now

US/UK/EU/AU/NZ Media:

"Taiwan is freedom and democracy."
"China is authoritarian. (Shows footage of police retaliating against ultra-aggressive Hong Kong rioters or journalists doing reporting on the middle of a busy road or someone's garden before being ushered away by traffic cops or security)"

Done.

That's also possible by piping your generic controller through Steam Input.

Now, if 8bit is actually supporting native Steam Input, that's a much bigger deal because we could potentially get access to raw gyro data, stuff that is normally converted to joystick input by the time Steam gets it.

That's a big deal then. So far I'm not aware of any controllers that have all of the following:

• Analogue triggers
• Gyro input
• Back buttons
• Xbox layout (preferred)

The dual shock is close, but no back buttons and not my prefered layout. All the Nintendo clones have digital triggers, and almost none have gyro input that steam can use. This will make 8bit the best possible Steam Deck companion until a proper Steam Controller 2 comes out.

Edit: This would also add the ability to map extra buttons to new functions instead of a duplicate of the buttons that already exist. I'm waiting to hear the details but I'll likely buy one if all this is true because I haven't seen anything else offering this level of functionality.

Flydigi Vader 4 pro has that + 2 additional face buttons + adjustable tension on the sticks + hall effect joysticks + a toggle next to each trigger to reduce the travel distance + clicky mechanical switches.

And this same Steam beta version that added 8bitdo support also included support for this controller as well so that you can remap the extra buttons (but it's only detected as a vader if you are using the included dongle and the controller is set to dinput mode).

The only thing I'm missing is capacitive joysticks that can be used for turning on/off the gyro.. that's a pity because I find the gyro kind of annoying to use without that.

Thanks for the recommendation. The 8bitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless has most of that, but competition is always a good thing.

I agree about the capacitive sticks though, I've never used gyro without that so I imagine it'd really only be useful for ADS and other situations where you're already holding a button. Capacitive sticks were a genius move from Valve.

For me it beats the 8bitdo by a long shot. I think the 8bitdo only has 2 back buttons, does't it? the vader has 4. And now with Steam input support they are all programmable. I like the feel of mechanical buttons too.

Yeah.. I've been waiting for a steam controller 2 for way too long. The horipad is the only "traditional" controller that has capacitive joysticks.. but beyond having that, the reviews for it are not that great.

I'm guessing it's similar to this: discuss.kde.org/t/plasma-doesn…

You're probably on a laptop and have multiple GPUs enabled at the same time. If not, you're defining Nvidia drivers with something trying to be smart about when to enable the actual outputs or not.

You can either make sure to have the display turned on, or make it super clear to the drivers to always enable a display regardless of whether it detects a display.

Plasma doesn't start when external monitors are plugged in

When I turn my laptop on while external monitors are connected, Plasma doesn’t start and SDDM just shows an unresponsive black screen with a cursor. I’m using integrated intel graphics on Wayland, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Plasma 6.0.

Yeah that might be it. Sddm is a display manager, you might be using it for your login screen.

You might be able to work around it by just setting the service to restart automatically, so that it comes up properly once a display is attached. But if you can, I would try reproducing it on a fresh and fully updated install, and open a bug report to the maintainers if you can. Linux developers generally try to make really sure their programs don't crash like that.

Fun fact: the word “galaxy” has the root of “milk” in it. It’s dairy all the way down.
