And I am talking about reality. If the police don't bring order to the chaos, we will have a bad time in this country. As I already said, I got in trouble myself, sometimes for nothing. It is what it is, back in the time I was furious too. But now I see that it was necessary.

Why is a protest for Palestina here even necessary? Or even for Israel? I give a frick about both of these countries. They are thousands of miles away and not even on the European continent.

I don't support this kind of extremism. People from Palestina have a bad time in their country, ok. Then they come here to Germany. ok. They get support and can live in peace. ok. Then they make trouble in Berlin. What the frick? Are you dumb? Enjoy the peaceful life we built here.

Go protest in some country that is adjacent to Palestina. Turkey or Egypt or Syria. Or Quatar, I don't care.

Thank you, it turned out, using the game without forcing compatibility proton layer resolves that issue.

I will consider bazzite for a future installation.

Also, I have a pretty hilarious story connected to this to tell:

I was sitting in voice chat with my friends, and just listening to them. I could not queue up with them, because VAC is making my life harder than it has to be. They joined a premium game and we/they are never cheating. They faced a hacker. Next round, another team member of their team turned on full hack too. Turns out, while I could not play the game without cheats, they were stuck in a HvH game (Hackers with Wallhack/Aimbot on both teams). ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Oh.. I always used it like this, I didn't know I can just NOT check the "force compatibility" checkmark. Thank you, that solved the problem.

Why does the picture get cut off? 🤬

 

I installed Ubuntu 25, version:

Linux version 6.14.0-15-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-022) (x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-14 (Ubuntu 14.2.0-19ubuntu2) 14.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.44) #15-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Apr 6 15:05:05 UTC 2025

I like the fast response and performance of Ubuntu 25 so the ideal solution would be to stay on this installation. I know that on the prior version, Ubuntu 24 it worked.

I installed Steam again, mounted my steam folder drive and added the steam folder as the default installation directory.

Then I started CS 2 and got this error. (see picture)

What I already did:

  • Installed files > Verify integrity of game files
  • Installed files > Move install folder > Moved the folder to the same disk where Steam app is installed
  • Installed DLC > Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools
  • Delete the cs2.exe (../game/bin/win64/cs2.exe) and all .signature files in this folder
  • Delete parts of the game folder (../game/bin)
  • Checked integrity again
  • Removed CS2 completely from steam and re-downloaded it

Nothing seems to help. What can I do to make VAC be quiet again?

I think most laptops get thrown away before the battery is dead. In my case, I could just throw the battery to the recycling yard and go on without battery. As I already told, the laptop is plugged in 24/7.

Thank you, I like the idea. Will research in this way.

Unplugging by hand is a bad solution. I want to have this even when I am not at home, it has to be automated.

The converter says "Output: 65W" So it would be something, and a good place to start as the battery is there anyway and is plugged in all the time too, anyway.

I can agree. Gaming, especially running some older games (early 2000s) is infuriating. I spent a whole evening tinkering around to get it to run, only to realize at midnight, oops it crashes occasionally for unknown reasons. Actually playing games > getting games to run properly

 

Hello,

I just found out about TLP - a module to download with apt, which is a good utility for maintaining the laptop battery. You can set a minimum charge value, and a maximum charge value. But it is not sufficient for my use case. My question is - is there any utility I can use to discharge the battery WHILE connected to AC?

The reason behind this is: I want to use the solar power during the day to charge up the battery to 80 or 90% and then discharge the battery in the evening to 15-20%. Afterwards use AC power again. The solar energy during mid-day is cheaper and available in abundance.

On a big level with many computers this could make a good impact on the energy network, or am I wrong?
