I’ll put up with it but has their ever been a person who wanted the document to open as a modal window inside Teams where you can’t even go back to the chat of the person who sent it without closing it?

So you have to open in browser and then open the browser version in desktop.

I don’t really hate Teams but that really triggers me. Otherwise I feel like Teams and I have a lot in common (like the whole tried to do too much and so does nothing well thing).

I can easily search up people talking about both the Windows and MacOS system wide spell checks. While for Linux you just find people talking about how dumb it is everything uses different implementations: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/hu4ktg/does_systemwide_autocorrect_and_typo_flagging/

As for NZ English words, it would mostly be words that have come from the Māori language including place names and people’s names.

In theory having multi-language spell check would solve most of the issues, but I’ve never seen Māori as a supported language on Linux.

For some examples of words, there are place names like Taranaki, Te Anau, Te Awamutu. People’s names like Hone Harawera or Apirana Ngata. And common words and phrases that have made it into English like Kia ora (mostly used in English as a greeting) and Aotearoa (a name for New Zealand). There will also be company and product names as well.

Haha I get that I can’t really expect better than “English”, or maybe “US English” and “UK English”, but having a system wide dictionary I can add words to by right clicking and choosing “add to dictionary” would be nice.

As I understand it, each program keeps their own.

Linux in general has good language support.

I’ve yet to find a distro with NZ English 😆. I’d love to just start a new dictionary and add words to it for all the spell checks, but I’ve never worked out how to do this. I’m not sure there’s even system level spell check.

I’m too old to tell if this is satire or serious.

I don’t like the rest of the car either 😅

My wife and I are just the right height difference that the little flicky switch on the internal mirror will swap between the angles each of us need.

One day we got a car that has some auto light filtering for night driving and it doesn’t have the switch. Can’t wait to sell it.

Oh I hadn’t realised it had! I’ll have to make sure I update before I play again.

The release notes seem to cover lots of specific crashes, but I’d guess my issue is more generally that if it’s trying to shoe too much stuff on the screen (like a crowded city) then it crashes. I have turned the graphics settings right down and it happens less, but still happens at least once each time I play. I’m keen to check out that patch and see if it helps. Thanks for letting me know about it!

Two issues here: Issue one, BG3 itself crashes all the time. This most likely isn’t linux related, because it’s been rock solid up to Act 3 and everyone across all platforms complains about all the crashing in Act 3. Solution - quick save all the time.

Issue two, sometimes Steam Remote Play will disconnect from the game. The game continues to play on the remote PC but the connection is lost, and it won’t let me reconnect (which is something Steam normally lets you do, but this might be because it’s a non-steam game).

Your info on wifi networks to prevent the connection dropping has definitely been relevant and helpful!

Wow thanks for all the info!

Another thought of mine is that wireless devices can perform poorly if they are too close to the AP. (Like less than a meter)

Huh, I wouldn’t have thought of that. I’m pretty close! I’ll try moving it a bit further away.

Mesh networks can perform poorly for applications that are sensitive to latency and jitter. (Such as steam’s remote play)

Last night it was much more stable, I didn’t have any Steam dropouts (only the BG3 crashes which seem pretty common in Act 3 after having none until then, and I’m not the only one). But I do have the option to create a separate non-mesh network from the AP if I need to. If I have further trouble I’ll give that a go.

It’s possible that some of those are related. My assumption is that there’s interference from your own devices and the neighbours. But a mesh network isn’t an ideal environment.

When I changed the channel, the whole lot came with it, hence my assumption.

I have the ISP router and two AmpliFi mesh access points to provide the wifi. The ISP router also has a wifi network, this is the 2.4Ghz one for the IoT devices.

When I try to change the channel for the access points, I don’t get the option for channel 106. I only get the option for 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161.

I also noticed that I had missed that there’s a little button in the wifi scanning app to toggle between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. I noticed if I change the channel, a whole bunch of hidden networks come with it. I think this must be related to the mesh network, it’s a lot of networks though! 8 or 9 of them, two separate ones with the same network name (I presume the two access points), and the rest all marked as hidden.

In the app, what does the width of the bar represent? It says something like Wifi_Network 157 (155) and has a big flat top that seems to cover a range. Is that indicating that nearby channels can interfere with each other?

Some, at much lower strengths. Most of the graph is covered though, and the access point is using the recommended channel. It has band steering so automatically changes the channel to optimise.

Yes framework expansion card slots are just a bunch of USBC ports, but seems a waste not to get the proper expansion card that slots nicely into the laptop looking like it was built in instead of a boring regular dongle.

I checked out the app you suggested, not entirely sure what I’m doing but the app seems happy with my wifi. My network is strong, others from neighbours are all pretty weak.

Unfortunately I need 2.4Ghz wifi for a bunch of home automation things.

I’m running a Framework laptop and don’t have the LAN expansion card as it wasn’t release at the time I got my laptop. I can order one, but they also don’t sell Frameworks in my country so it’s a long freight forwarding process 🙁.

I’ve been considering a new gateway (rather than the ISP router) to see if that helps stabilise the network. Maybe that will be helpful until I can get a proper LAN connection.

Laptop is on WiFi, desktop is on ethernet.

Laptop is directly next to an access point that is connected via ethernet, though I know the network is not super stable. I often have to restart the ISP router after it drops out.

I am confused why Steam doesn’t let me reconnect though. Normally if the game is running you can open Steam and choose to connect to it. But I don’t get this option, it’s like it’s forgotten that it started the game.

In Steam it’s set to use Proton and I select the bg3.exe or whatever it’s called, not the bg3_dx11.exe. Is this using Vulcan mode?

The laptop is connected via WiFi (to an access point directly next to me), I don’t have a LAN port for it at the moment.

The desktop is connected via ethernet.

Normally Steam will let you reconnect to a game that’s already playing, but I don’t seem to have that option. It’s like it forgets it’s running.

I’ve recently made it to Act 3 in Baldur’s Gate 3, and my integrated graphics on my laptop aren’t keeping up, so now I have installed it on my desktop machine and am using Steam Remote Play (my desktop is plugged into the TV, it’s not a proper desktop setup).

Often, the Steam connection drops out and the game keeps playing on the desktop but I can’t connect back to it from the laptop.

Any suggestions on what I could do to either stop losing the connection or let me connect back to it after it drops?

Set up:

• Laptop has Nobara Gnome spin
• Desktop has Mint Cinnamon
• Bought BG3 on GOG, installed through Heroic Launcher, added to Steam as non-steam game to play it.

Or if they give a bad review they won’t get a free phone to review next time.

Ai capabilities turned off in Europe

I don’t know the backstory but I’m guessing it’s slurping up your privacy so hard it’s illegal in Europe.

Oh man the early Onepluses (up to 3 or so) were the best! They were so much cheaper than other phones at that price. Must have been selling my data or slave labour or loss leader because the value was crazy.

I had a 5X. I loved it, never noticed issues like you mentioned. 18 months later it got stuck in a reboot loop, took it back. Known issue, have a refund.

I used a 5X for a year and a half for free. Best bang for buck I’ve had in a phone.
