    So you are using the inbox you got from your ISP? But why though?

    linux mint keyboard layout problems

    There appear to be multiple Portuguese layouts. Have you considered altering between them?

    What phone you use as your daily driver? And, a discussion of them.

    Since just a couple weeks, it is a Nokia G21. Lovely no-nonsense phone with fantastic battery life, enough performance for what I do, stock Android experience with extremely little bloat and 2 promised Android upgrades.

    What are you playing?

    I bought The Falconeer on a Steam sale a few days ago. So far it has been more fun than I expected, although I had to find the right setup for mouse+keyboard inputs (the game slightly flavours controllers/sticks).

    TPU's Rosetta Milestones and Daily Pie Thread

    If you have specific questions to me (of all people :rolleyes:), please use the DM system so that I get notified through e-mail. I highly recommend anyway, that you do the R@H Python units on a dedicated machine. Suspending/rebooting the computer seems to interfere more with those WUs than...

    GN Completes Acquisition of SteelSeries

    The company in the PR is large enough to be on Wikipedia though, TBH.

    The Filthy, Rotten, Nasty, Helpdesk-Nightmare picture clubhouse

    If somebody does not go to a person like you though, but instead goes straight to the recycle centre, I start to wonder though whether they are a bit more than "ignorant".

    @Rebe1 You do realise that Gamers' nexus has nothing to do with this, right?

    I am not entirely sure I am getting this. P.S.: no judgement, just scratching the back of my head.

    TPU's Rosetta Milestones and Daily Pie Thread

    In case of those having dried up haven't looked into this: the new Python-based WUs need like 7 GB or so of RAM per WU plus Virtualbox (and an increased storage limit set in your BOINC client). It works on my daily driver, but one WU at a time. Please look at my system specs if you want to know why.

    How to get a DVD/CD player working on a Raspberry PI 4 ?

    To be honest I am confused as well right know. I am feeling like I am taking shots in the dark too much to be of much constructive help. :( Have you considered asking help on forums dedicated to your Linux distribution of choice?

    How to get a DVD/CD player working on a Raspberry PI 4 ?

    So there seem multiple factors at play at the same time then, as I see it. somehow, there are still power issues for the drive even with the powered hub. The hub is likely to give a maximum of 5v at 0.5 amps (assuming USB 2 specs, else it's a little bit more) which is not much for an optical...

    How to get a DVD/CD player working on a Raspberry PI 4 ?

    Which Linux distro are you on right now (on the Pi 4)? I am trying to "get a picture" so it is easier for both of us if you let me know. :)

    How to get a DVD/CD player working on a Raspberry PI 4 ?

    A RPi's USB ports alone are unlikely to give enough power for an optical drive. My remark on the /etc/fstab file was, whether there is a line in there that mentions something like "/dev/cdrom" or similar and whether that line does not start with a hash (#) symbol (the # would tell the OS too...
