Man I totally forgot about RSS, it died ages ago with the death of Google’s client and never really stuck afterwards. Was just meaning to ask about a good client, this one looks like a no BS one that does it’s job. Thanks!

I similarly made two functions depending on the use case (see comments in code) and saved them in Powershell’s default profile (Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1) so I can invoke them with just one word directly in commandline, works great 👌

function Vid {
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]$link
    )
    yt-dlp -P "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads" $link -S "res:1080,br" --embed-subs --sub-langs all,-live_chat --remux mp4
} #Downloads videos using yt-dlp limited to 1080p; usage Vid YT_URL
function VidFull {
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]$link
    )
    yt-dlp -P "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads" $link --embed-subs --sub-langs all,-live_chat --remux mp4
} #Downloads videos using yt-dlp in maximum quality; usage VidFull YT_URL

Chiming in, is there a solid OneDrive client for linux that just works? No collaboration stuff needed for it or other fluff, just simple file sync. I pay for OneDrive family and would be nice to be able to sync files with other ecosystems (Synology, Windows, Android).

I dont know man, I installed Liftoff as I want a consistent UI throughout iOS and Android and so far it’s great. Roll with whatever works for you 🤷‍♂️

Just to add a perspective from the other side of the fence, I have a gaming laptop running Windows 11 (yes I know) where this (or a very similar) issue has been plaguing Ryzen users for at least a year and a half. The issue is that TPM per se is not causing issues if turned on, but if BitLocker encryption is on it will cause occasional audio stutters and intermittent complete system halts. The only thing that reliably helps is completely turning off Bitlocker, the TPM chip can stay on and is of course needed for W11. OEMs and AMD have been digging their heads in the sand like ostritches and they have released the odd fix that does nothing to fix the underlying issue. I can’t see MS doing anything to reverse course on requirements and am getting a bit fed up with their BS lately, browsing what distro might suit me best and might pull the trigger and finally switch…

I blame people’s shorter attention spans for it, to a degree I’m also guilty of it. Can’t read a book nowadays before my focus shifts somewhere else.

Seeing a lot of Manjaro here, what’s the deal? I installed it just yesterday on a test machine to check it out as I plan on steering over from windows long-term so just browsing what’s out there. Don’t really have issues and it ticks the boxes of a more user-friendly installation and comes out of the box with Plasma. I may try out pure Arch or the GUI fork just not to have the hassle of setting up the DE

Thanks for the heads up, I’m distro hopping these days and looking for options on where to settle

Thank you very much for this, finally managed to disable and rebind some remote buttons for apps that Ive already nuked off the TV. Works great with some workarounds.

This one’s hilarious, but that one’s not gonna work for long as they will axe almost all non-government approved VPNs
