  • I first thought you were trying to stream over SSH, which funnily enough was exactly what I was trying to do at the time.

    But you’re trying to start it up to play on the remote machine, aren’t you. This makes sense if you’re accessing the laptop from your phone while sat on the couch! If the default is pipewire or pulseaudio, it might be unable to find it without an active user session - trying forcing alsa with --ao=alsa






  • That blog post is *really* light on details. Maybe they assume readers will already know what to expect?

    This page appears to be the official list of everything that’s coming with 6.8 next week: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6

    Things that stood out to me include removal of X11 as a default option at login, triple buffering enabled for Nvidia, Remote Desktop improvements including 2-way clipboard, improvements to screen recording including recording audio and better screen casting performance.

    And finally “Shadows and rounded corners for Steam”. Steam has always been visually quirky to say the least, so I’m intrigued to find out if this will be an improvement or not.




  • AFAIK it depends on the device. I believe it’s simpler to have a battery management system which keeps the battery charged when power is attached, and then a second separate system which powers the phone from the battery. That does lead to more wear on the battery though, so the better solution is to have a power management system which monitors the battery and keeps it within a set charge range, and additionally can supply the voltage needed to run the phone. Only when power is not connected does the battery power the phone.

    From a quick google though, it seems that’s only part of the picture. High-end modern phones will often require a battery present, as they use it to smooth out the power coming from the adapter, even though most of the power for the phone when the charger is attached comes from a direct power path.
