    Huh that's strange because I've never had the driver break on me.

    But I guess it means you've successfully installed the new card? Awesome

    Might be a bit late of a reply, but I was able to install the Broadcom drivers super easy on my 2013 MBP. I know, different laptop, but same driver.

    After installing Manjaro, KDE Neon, and Kubuntu, here's what I did:

    I paired it with my phone and shared my internet connection, then downloaded the Broadcom driver in the repo. Done!

    I also installed Aurora (Fedora immutable distro) on it, and the Broadcom drivers were already installed, so it just worked, but every time my laptop went to sleep it crashed and I had to hold the power button to start it, so I gave up on that and installed Neon

    I've had several machines that refuse to update because of error 0x<insert hex number here>.

    In fact, one of my kids has that happening right now.

    At least that part is not isolated to OP. It doesn't happen to me anymore since I switched to Linux about a year ago

    I really wanted one but couldn't afford it. Then I was able to and did. Then the Elon shit hit the fan, and now I'm stuck with a dick mobile.

    I looked at trading it in for a Hyundai Ioniq 5 or something else, but I would be out thousands if I did

  • Hi folks, I downloaded Aurora (https://getaurora.dev/) the other day with the intention of installing it on my 2013 MacBook Pro. It wasn't until I got to the install screen when I realized that I have no networking. I currently have Manjaro installed on this laptop, and I remember having to connect via Bluetooth to my phone to download and the Broadcom BCM4360 drivers. Is there a good way to bake that into the image prior to installing? Either that or I can try downloading the driver over Bluetooth again, but then I'll need to use a command to somehow layer it on top of the existing image? (rpm-ostree?) Sorry if I'm missing some command or documentation, but it is a little more confusing trying out these immutable distros. Has anyone else out there run into this issue and worked around it?

    First time hearing about Universal Blue, but I have heard of Bazzite before.

    I'm drumming up the courage to replace my Manjaro install with Aurora, and replace my Mint desktop with Bazzite+developer tools.

    Is it easy/possible to install the Bazzite tweaks on top of Aurora?

    Also, my desktop has an Nvidia card.. should I expect problems?

    Thanks for mentioning Wyze.. looks awesome.

    I ended up with a shitty Arlo set that I overpaid for, and the worst part is that they no longer sell the station where you can save video to the local network, meaning I'd have to pay for a subscription

    I played this almost 40 years ago on an Apple IIe when I was 10-11 years old, made it all the way to the final dungeon, then just.. gave up. I don't know why. Maybe I was unprepared for the final dungeon and was too lazy to leave and get more supplies?

    I recently thought about doing a replay of it to see how it holds up

    Tesla driver here.

    When I first heard the announcement that they were going vision-only, I thought ah shit they're boned.

    I replied on maybe a Reddit thread (?) that there was no way it'll work up north in any kind of snowy conditions, and people called me an idiot etc

    Fast forward a few years later, when I got to experience it first hand. Anytime I drive the car at night, warnings pop up on the screen like "front left camera is blocked or blinded" Cue Surprised Pikachu. In the snow, sometimes it can't even detect a road.

    I tried the free trial of FSD and, while it's a neat gimmick, I think I was able to make maybe one or two short trips (2km) without needing to disengage it.

    It was really bad

  • We have a few sites on our intranet at work that I constantly end up searching on Google instead of visiting the site. If I type in the address bar >https://site.work/customers/12345 it will navigate just fine, but if I just type >site.work/customers/12345 it executes a Google search Is there any way for me to add a whitelist for a given hostname? I don't want to turn keyword.enabled off.. I only want to turn it off for one site.

    Every time I click on a Piped link that has been posted here by the bot after someone posts a YouTube link, I just wait and wait for it to start playing. Eventually I run out of patience and click the YouTube link, which starts to play immediately.

    I can also gleek but it's nowhere near what my grade 11 English teacher could do. I don't know how it came up in class, but, in front of the class, she turned sideways and made the biggest arc I'd ever seen: maybe 6 feet long

    Is this the new /r/atheism?

    Since I've abandoned Reddit, I find myself looking for content similar to what I was subscribed to on there. This looks to be the most active of the Lemmy transplants, so it looks like I'll do my lurking here instead on some other Lemmy community. As much as a shitshow it's turning out to be over there, I am thankful for Reddit and for having had /r/atheism as a default sub, otherwise it would have taken me a little longer to become atheist
