  • Have had this issue myself asking with other DD card related issues.

    I can’t understand why the pi foundation persist with using SD as the only physically practical storage option.

    They’re looking post the point of needing a way to snap on reliable EMMC storage, as a default, in a way that doesn’t leave a cable or something permanently plugged into a USB port.

    Sure, USB is a fine option, but I hate that it’s only an option and not a designed default.

    Most of us only need 8GB or so for the OS, 8GB or good quality durable EMMC should hardly cost anything.

    Other tiny computers and even economy notebooks and Chromebooks already use this.








  • You just described ARMA3 with some mods.

    I remember being tossed in the deep end when the mods were new to me. Having to diagnose and treat gunshot wounds, inject morphine, run fluids etc… even CPR, certain medics could do transfusions, match blood types etc.

    Was kinda frightening for a PC game… And often all of this was under enemy fire.

    The enemy would be injured, shot, concussed, knocked unconscious, lose blood etc. the potential existed for them to regain consciousness after a while and if you hadn’t removed their weapons they could fire in you. Surprised the shit out of people not used to these mods… Always had to check downed hostiles.






  • Same issue here, and I know a few people that have it on most cases LCD, not OLED, but I funny think that’s relevant.

    The mechanism for turning a display off is to simply stop sending a signal.

    There was a time when I cared more and actually did into it and windows 10 and 11 do have issues going into standby in in some configurations, with some hardware.

    I once pinned down a console command that could actually tell you (cryptically of course) what things were going on that prevented standby or sleep.

    Comes as no surprise that Linux does this better… But sadly I’m my case I couldn’t use Linux.
