It doesnt really feel “slow” to me but just buggy and like its trying to do too many things at once.

Thats just 14h tho, not too bad.

They have a page about that: https://watchy.sqfmi.com/docs/battery-life

With only time keeping, Watchy should have a battery life of 5-7 days, while with fetching data over WiFi, it should last between 2-3 days. These numbers can be extended through further optimizations (e.g. sleep during off hours, waking up only on motion/tilt, etc.).

By default it wakes up the CPU and updates the display every 60 seconds, but you could totally change this to make it only update on demand (the most efficient would be by button press) which should extend the battery life waaay beyond 7 days.

I havent used it yet, so cant really say much, but ive been looking at watchy. https://watchy.sqfmi.com/

If just this one OS, that i havent even really heard of, hit 100k downloads in two days, then there must have been like 100M downloads in the last week or so for all linux distros combined. Now i wanna see someone try to aggregate all download numbers from the major distros into a time plot to see if there is a noticeable change.

The lenovo is super cheap (sub 100€) and probably does most things you usually need yeah.

It wont, but it will create uncertainty for small developers and modders.

No, not really. A company being able to prevent people from doing what they want with software they paid for on their own device by using copyright law is in fact not good news at all.

Its not a sentence for hacking or something like that. Cheat software usually runs entirely on your device, the fact that its an online game isnt even part of the case from what i can see.

This line of legal logic can and will totally be used to do evil things like banning modding or local cheating.

Cheating just needs to be accepted as part of reality in games. The solution is better server side checks and faster bans, not interfering with peoples freedom to do what they want with their machine.

Basically this just gives game companies a pass to behave like book/movie companies with DRM. Suing anyone that enables people to decrypt or modify the files that they paid for.

Slightly over dramatized. This happens basically every month or so. They break it, we fix it. For me newpipe and yt-dlp havent even stopped working despite not updating anything.

This isnt news tho, its been banned for years.

There is privacytools.io aswell

I would have thought that ubuntu does proper stability testing before pushing out updates. Well im glad you were able to get it working again.

I would generally never update to the latest driver with an nvidia card. On some distros it might work out, but i have always had less issues by just staying one or more major versions behind. If your system auto updates to latest, then thats kinda bad design by the distro devs imho. What distro are you on?

Ooh i see. That was kinda missing from the post for me to understand it. Do you just not wanna spend any money or why keep that card? You could get a used AMD card that is 10-30 times as powerful for like 30-50€

Im all for extending hardware lifetime as much as possible, but after 10 years i feel like its okay to upgrade.

Maybe im missing something here, but why do you need to use such an old driver version? Trixie ships with 550 if you enable non-free so why not use that? Considering you tried the official installer i would think you dont mind non-free drivers.

This… makes no sense to me. Almost by definition, an AI vendor will have a datacenter full of compute capacity.

Well it doesnt fucking matter what “makes sense to you” because it is working…
Its being deployed by people who had their sites DDoS’d to shit by crawlers and they are very happy with the results so what even is the point of trying to argue here?

Its just android with the termux app open…

Thanks for the fix :)

No the didnt… but its still bad.

192 is okayish imo
