I don’t have experience with MSI recently, but I’d be really surprised if you couldn’t flash a new BIOS off the system partition or FAT32 USB. You may not be able to update from Linux directly, but almost all motherboards I’ve seen support doing it from the BIOS interface.

themoken@startrek.websiteto Books@lemmy.ml•Need help with comprehending the last line of this excerpt7·12 days agoI interpret it as they are fools because they can be convinced of anything and become proselytizers in the course of a day. They didn’t really engage with the idea, they are just zealously parroting what someone else told them.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Battlefield 6's beta has only been running for a day, but it's already suffering from a FPS curse with cheaters breaking out the wallhacksEnglish21·12 days agoOn the one hand, this is sort of what betas are for.
On the other hand, doesn’t this game require secure boot for anti-cheat? I thought making your multiplayer game enforce security policy meant it was impossible to cheat!?!? Get fucked EA.
I used the communicator chime for a long time, but these days I’m basically permanently in do-not-disturb. My phone only makes sound when a close contact calls, or for a timer/alarm. Anything else can wait.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•All good things come to an end: Shutting down Clear Linux OS41·1 month agoIntel has been struggling overall, and lately has been letting some of its Linux engineers go. Nothing absolutely fundamental has been affected yet (AFAICT) but I guess Clear Linux didn’t make the cut.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•How the heck do I get Sim 4 running on Linux Mint?English13·1 month agoI never had an issue with Lutris + a pirated copy. It’s trivial to find the anadius rip around in a torrent. Fuck the EA launcher.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•Black screen on wake from suspend on game mode2·1 month agoIt would allow SSH if the desktop is locked, they’re separate. If you can get in via SSH then you can poke around logs like dmesg and see what’s up. There will probably be some messages to give you something more specific to search with.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the worst apartment you've ever lived in?2·2 months agoI love that song and yeah, nailed it.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the worst apartment you've ever lived in?7·2 months agoI’ll bite. Austin, TX circa 2007. Sublet. Moved my (now) wife and one year old into a one bedroom, one bathroom house the size of a shoebox. Cooled by a single window unit, had to steal wifi, and roaches crawled in through the gaps under the doors.
Ironically, it’s now a fond memory. First place I lived with my new family, it was just for the summer, we had cool neighbors and were like 200 feet from a bunch of really cool local businesses.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is that random movie that you watched multiple times throughout your childhood only because your family happened to own it's DVD (or VHS) ?5·2 months agoBy myself, probably Apollo 13 - I used to watch it like once a day over the summer. With my dad, we watched Predator every time my mom had to work late.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing findsEnglish181·2 months agoThat’s hilarious, but not really the same thing.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Games run faster on SteamOS than Windows 11, Ars testing findsEnglish712·2 months agoProton is amazing, but it’s entirely overhead translating library/system calls to Linux. It’s accurate to say they run better on SteamOS, not to say Proton is making it run better.
Now maybe Proton makes them run better than a janky but native Linux port, but that’s a separate statement about games being better optimized on Windows.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Fedora Linux devs discuss dropping 32-bit packages - potentially bad news for Steam gamersEnglish13·2 months agoAlso, does anyone seriously think they’d do this without some sort of carve out for Steam to work? I can’t imagine a worse idea at this time than for a desktop oriented distro to break the gaming use case that hard.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•VPN recommendations, Summer 2025English101·2 months agoIt’s more of an issue with torrent seeding. You need to be able to accept incoming connections to seed, so you need a VPN/router to allow incoming traffic to a certain port to reach your torrent client.
So, not a problem for leeching, but if you are trying to meet ratio requirements, could be a big problem.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•HyTale just got cancelled, HyPixel studios winding down over the next few monthsEnglish4·2 months agoOh, I see what you mean, fair enough.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•HyTale just got cancelled, HyPixel studios winding down over the next few monthsEnglish5·2 months agoDuke Nukem Forever did ship… Years late and it was a total mess of a decade’s worth of gimmick mechanics that killed the franchise, but it did make it out the door.
Still fits as a cautionary tale about switching engines, I just had to double check I didn’t hallucinate that game.
Probably due north.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Flavour of gin and tonic could be impacted by climate change, study finds6·2 months agoI know you’re joking, but it’s going to be something dumb like this that gets deniers to rethink their position. It may be some staple that disappears from shelves, or has to be replaced by an inferior substitute, or made with weird ingredients.
If lite beer had to be made with rice, or it got to $100 a case because of climate change fucking up the wheat crop, it would do more than every science paper in the world.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Experts warn mobile sports betting could be gateway to gambling crisis for young men in New YorkEnglish48·2 months agoSports gambling is just terrible for everyone except the bloodsuckers that run it. Sports teams don’t want it because it incentivizes cheating / rigging games. Personal bankruptcy and domestic abuse skyrocket when people lose money they can’t afford to lose. Now the apps feed an unstable addiction literally all day long.
Thanks to the Supreme Court for pulling a bullshit ruling out of their collective asses in 2018 that makes everything worse for average Americans.
Shit, I don’t even gamble and I’m just sick of their logos and ads all over every thing when I watch a game. Used to be they had “Gambling Prohibited” up around the stadium, now they may as well own the teams.
Huh, I kind of think the opposite. I haven’t read everything he’s written, but it seems to me that he kinda sucks at endings.
I loved Anathem, and when you realize what’s going on it’s so cool, but then it doesn’t explore that idea as much as I want, it just ends without looking around the next corner. Cryptonomicon is a fun, interesting read and gets you worked up about what a monumental shift is going to happen… And then ends right as it’s coming to fruition. Even Seveneves had a 5000 year jump and spends hundreds of pages on the consequences of humanity’s brush with death… And then tosses in another population with five pages left. I want to keep going!
Maybe I just don’t like being tantalized in the last few pages of a book, but I feel like I’m left hanging and unsatisfied, like there’s a missing sequel. His pulpier, early novels were much better in terms of wrapping up the story.
