    My issues with Samsung nowadays is that they offer a very low TBW warranty compared to other brands like Kingston.

    I wanted to buy a 1TB storage for my games and I couldn’t decide between Samsung and Kingston. Samsung had a 600TBW warranty for the 1TB model, Kingston had 800. I ended up choosing the KC3000 from Kingston.


  • For the panels issue, you can launch CS2, press Alt+F3 to open the window settings, go to configure special app settings, then set an option for the app so that it always launches in fullscreen mode.

    I also added a shortcut to make games fullscreen by pressing Ctrl+Enter.

    I believe this is a bug with KDE and should be reported to them. The same issue is reported on Valve’s repository but nothing has been done from Valve’s side to fix this issue.

    EDIT: link for relevant issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/3274

    the workaround is written in one of the comments:

    1. Open CS2
    2. Press Alt+F3
    3. Click on “More actions”
    4. Click on “Configure special applications settings”
    5. Add a property
    6. Select “Fullscreen” (click on the “+”)
    7. Select “Force” and “yes” for the “Fullscreen” parameter
    8. Click on “Ok” (apply and close)

  • That doesn’t seem to be the case. From what I read on HN, the dev quit because he thought it didn’t make sense to submit CVEs for temporary/wip solutions, and F5 thought otherwise.

    So as I see it, the developer quit because he didn’t agree that a CVE should be opened for a work-in-progress solution that was live on Nginx.


  • So… not using Signal because it’s based off a conspiracy theory that it’s secretly funded by CIA?

    Well, let’s stop using RSA and encryption because the most used secure crypto algorithms today were created by none other than the NSA!

    EDIT: None of the alternatives provided are good alternatives for Signal. Matrix is an extremely complicated protocol that lacks some features compared to normal IM apps (I use Matrix and the experience is quite close to a standard messaging app). XMPP is dead and has a very niche userbase. The others are not suitable for being a daily messaging app.

    Signal is a good alternative and while I do agree with some points, they are not bad enough to prevent you from using it (e.g. not having usernames).
