  • I still use my Logitech G27 i bought over a decade ago and feature wise its all i ever need. I even spent some money to try out a few 15k-65k€ simrigs at a venue for an hour or so. They were cool and much better than my plastic toy steering wheel. But tbh even a 1000€ rig would be wasted on me for just dicking around those few hours in a year. Biggest downside is how loud these Logitech wheels are. Constant rattling and gear grinding which can annoy even people which sit two rooms away. In that regard a cheap(ish(!)) entry level direct drive wheel would be much better.

    A good starting point for checking out compatibility is:

    https://github.com/berarma/oversteer

    and for Logitech wheels:

    https://github.com/berarma/new-lg4ff

    Installation on CachyOS via the AUR was piss easy. Button mappings are different on the G27 compared to the Windows drivers though. Which can be slightly annoying because pre-configuered ingame bindings dont make sense anymore. Oversteer has a lovely UI/UX compared to the 20 year old Logitech Windows drivers. FFB effects with the new-lg4ff stuff is perfect.

    Another big positive is just how many games are supporting Logitech wheels out of the box. Support for fancier stuff can be a lot more flakey. But tbh thats just my impressions from what i read over the years on the internet. IDK.

    Maybe someone else has some insights for the fancier stuff on Linux. Personally(!) i would suggest to look out for well supported Logitech wheels from the links above on the used market.







  • idk why but the AI integration into Notepad makes me always laugh. Its a perfectly fine pre-installed text editor which just does its job to occasionally open a textfile or to eg quickly edit two lines in an .ini. Its biggest new feature in 20 or 30 years was the addition of tabs with Win11. But beyond that its almost useless. If you want to do anything more involved you better download one of the many alternatives with actual features to get shit done.

    Its just so nonsensical to me to add AI to this class of product. Why? Same with paint. Paint is fine for what it is. But what the fuck am i supposed to do with AI in such a simplistic program? Its so stupid.

    Eh, tbh i’m pretty weirded out by most of the anime culture/fandom as well. I pretty much blocked anything anime on the fediverse because i dont want to see it. But the anubis girl didnt even register as anime for me. Even if it did it would be 5 seconds to block that image with ublock.

    Anyway, i hope this will be the last time i post about how i dont like certain aspects of anime because nobody gives a shit.
