I used mine for a few months for work. only problem i had with it was it struggled with multiple external monitors. i got it working but i had to fiddle with xrandr everytime i docked it and put it into desktop mode

This was a couple years ago now though, it might be better now.

These, as far as i'm aware, have come straight from steam. I've searched for these online but haven't found anyone else getting the same error.

Ukraine destroyed columns of waiting Russian troops as soon as it was allowed to strike across the border, commander says by PrettyFlyForAFatGuy in c/world@lemmy.world

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 53 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Russian civilians weren't targeted, the missile was intercepted by russian air defense on its way to a military target. The shrapnel happened to fall on that beach.

Edit: If you're thinking of holidaying in an active warzone, perhaps reconsider.

I don't understand the price of the EOS M10 (feddit.uk)

I currently own two canon cameras, an EOS M10 i bought around 2017/2018 new for around £150 and a secondhand EOS 1300d i bought last week from a second hand electronics shop for £110 (body only, i already had lenses from an old EOS 200d)

Spec wise they seem to be extremely similar cameras just with the 1300 being larger with better lenses and more manual features

My dad mentioned that he was thinking of buying a new camera as his one was bought way back in like 2010 and wasn't a particularly up to date model at the time so i am considering selling him my M10.

looking at ebay though they seem to be going for £200-400 which i find a bit strange for a camera that first hit the market back in 2015 and is way more than i paid new (although reduced to clear) from John Lewis.

Am i missing something? How much is the M10 worth? and is it really worth more than it's newer (2016) DSLR counterpart?

How to display a symbol similar to the undervoltage symbol on raspberry pi (feddit.uk)

submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I want to display a symbol at the top right of one or both of my screens, similar to the lightning bolt symbol raspberry pi OS uses to indicate lack of power, when certain conditions are met.

I'm pretty sure i could cobble a bash script together to decide when to do it, but it's the actual displaying of the symbol i'm not sure where to start on. It would need to appear on top of anything else that may be on the screen at the time

Everything i have tried googling returns irrelevant results
