Fair.

I’ve removed it, and I’m sorry.

Logic is logic. There is no “advanced” logic that somehow allows you to decipher aspects of reality you otherwise could not. Humanity has yet to encounter anything that cannot be consistently explained in more and more detail, as we investigate it further.

We can and do answer complex questions. That human society is too disorganized to disseminate the answers we do have, and act on them at scale, isn’t going to be changed by explaining the same thing slightly better.

Imagine trying to argue against a perfect proof. Take something as basic as 1 + 1 = 2. Now imagine an argument for something much more complex - like a definitive answer to climate change, or consciousness, or free will - delivered with the same kind of clarity and irrefutability.

Absolutely nothing about humans makes me think we are incapable of finding such answers on our own. And if we are genuinely incapable of developing a definitive answer on something, I’m more inclined to believe there isn’t one, than assume that we are simply too “small-minded” to find an answer that is obvious to the hypothetical superintelligence.

But precision of thought orders of magnitude beyond our own.

This is just the “god doesn’t need to make sense to us, his thoughts are beyond our comprehension” -argument, again.

Just like a five-year-old thinks they understand what it means to be an adult - until they grow up and realize they had no idea.

They don’t know, because we don’t tell them. Children in adverse conditions are perfectly capable of understanding the realities of survival.

You are using the fact that there are things we don’t understand, yet, as if it were proof that there are things we can’t understand, ever. Or eventually figure out on our own.

That non-sentients cannot comprehend sentience (ants and humans) has absolutely no relevance on whether sentients are able to comprehend other sentients (humans and machine intelligences).

I think machine thinking, in contrast to the human mind, will just be a faster processor of logic.

There is absolutely nothing stopping the weakest modern CPU from running the exact same code as the fastest modern CPU. The only difference will be the rate at which the work is completed.

We’re incapable of even imagining how convincing of an argument a system like this could make.

Vaguely gestures at all of sci-fi, depicting the full spectrum of artificial sentience, from funny comedic-relief idiot, to literal god.

What exactly do you mean by that?

Firmware bug?

AFAIK openrazer doesn’t provide firmware updates, so if it needs an update to fix something, you can’t update without razers software.

This is the same logic people apply to God being incomprehensible.

Are you suggesting that if such a thing can be built, its word should be gospel, even if it is impossible for us to understand the logic behind it?

I don’t subscribe to this. Logic is logic. You don’t need a new paradigm of mind to explore all conclusions that exist. If something cannot be explained and comprehended, transmitted from one sentient mind to another, then it didn’t make sense in the first place.

And you might bring up some of the stuff AI has done in material science as an example of it doing things human thinking cannot. But that’s not some new kind of thinking. Once the molecular or material structure was found, humans have been perfectly capable of comprehending it.

All it’s doing, is exploring the conclusions that exist, faster. And when it comes to societal challenges, I don’t think it’s going to find some win-win solution we just haven’t thought of. That’s a level of optimism I would consider insane.

Even if it is, I don’t see what it’s going to conclude that we haven’t already.

If we do build “the AI that will save us” it’s just going to tell us “in order to ensure your existence as a species, take care of the planet and each other” and I really, really, can’t picture a scenario where we actually listen.

To an extent. Maximum calm would just be unconsciousness, I don’t think you’d be doing a lot of thinking at that point.

If it says bluetooth, then it can do bluetooth even if it comes with a dongle.

A lot of keyboards support bluetooth, but also come with a dongle in order to have the option for a dedicated wireless connection.

Bluetooth is convenient, but if you care about latnecy, it’s horrid. Bluetooth mice and keyboards are noticably worse for performance gaming due to the additional delay in button presses and movements.

Hence people tend to prefer to use the dongle if possible, as it allowa for a significantly higher polling rate. Doesn’t mean the keyboard won’t work just fine on bluetooth.

Like for real.

Were the people who actually do nothing really the ones to get axe for once?

Shit.

Is this how I find out I’m old?

I always found it impossible to imagine ever owning anything as ornate as the furnishings my grandaprents have.

Now I see the appeal.

You are being stopped from stopping people playing their games.

That’s a double negative bruh, as in, it reduces overrall limitations in the world for what people are allowed to do.

The --decrypt option is used to remove LUKS encryption entirely and turn the partition into a normal storage volume.

Interrupting that process is still likely to have irreparably damaged the volume, making it impossible to recover.

This seems reasonable. And you’re right.

But there is absolutely no way that interrupting such an operation with a forced power-cycle can be safe. In fact it’s an almost guaranteed way to put a data partition into a irrecoverable state.

When it comes to storage operations, you either let them fail, or complete. Interrupting file system modifications is a HUGE no-no.

Interrupting hard drive operations is REALLY dangerous.

Add to that the sensitivities of encrypted volumes, and I’m 90% sure your data is gone. Hope you had backups.

You’ll probably have to re-install.

Environmental DNA, apparently.

Audio devices can have multiple modes or “profiles” that determine what they do.

For my headset I have:

For my internal sound card I have:

If I set my headset to one of the options that doesn’t have “+ Mono Input” the mic stops working and doesn’t even show up in settings and apps anymore. Same if I use the “Stereo Output” mode on my internal sound card. They must be set to a mode with both output and input enabled to work.

I can see this from “Sound” in my KDE settings, but you can also configure this in the “Configuration” tab of pavucontrol.

The bluetooth controller in the machine needs to support wake on pcie/usb. The one in the steamdeck does, which is how it achieves the ability to be woken from a controller.

Linux can run pirated windows copies of games just fine.

You’ll need to install qbittorrent, and search up a torrent download for Tekken 7. You can probably find a Tekken 3 download the same way.

To run Tekken 7, you can use Bottles. (Install bottles, create a bottle for gaming, then run the game installer inside the bottle)

To run Tekken 3, you can use PCSXR. All you should need to do is “open” the Tekken 3 iso in PCSXR.

Tekken 3 is a PS one game, not PS2.

It has no PC version. Any such thing is just the PS one version with an emulation wrapper.

You definitely seem to have what looks to be the right audio device getting detected.

The device that is “unplugged” should be the 3.5mm jack on your laptop (if you have one) not the internal mic.

My first guess is that your audio device is in the wrong mode. If it is currently set to something like “stereo output” change it to “stereo output+mono input” or “stereo duplex” from pavucontrol or audio settings.
