Valve to lose $4 million for patent infringement with the Steam Controller
4 Feb 2021 at 1:36 pm UTC

I can't find any gaming controllers on Corsair's website. What's the point of a patent if you never use it? Patent trolling?

They even acquired SCUF Gaming, saying in their press release that "CORSAIR®, a world leader in high-performance gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, is pleased to announce that it has agreed to acquire high-performance controller pioneer SCUF Gaming "SCUF®" and its extensive patent portfolio."

So more patent trolling in the future? That's just lame. :huh:

Indeed, MineClone 2 is doing great these days. For someone wanting a Minecraft-like experience that's a pretty decent start. The game still needs plenty of features and refinements to match expectations by comparing it with Minecraft, but you can still to *a lot* with it. And the best thing is that it's progressing fast now, thanks to some fresh blood in the development team. We'll soon get villages and other stuff. :grin:

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo I like having two taskbars--one along the bottom for application switching, one going up the right hand side for launchers
Cinnamon can have taskbars on all sides. Right-click the panel, then "Add new panel". Cinnamon will then say "Select position of new panel. Esc to cancel." Click the right side of your screen - an area highlighted in red -, and a new toolbar will be added there.

I just installed a fresh Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon. Damn, it's so snappy... they've done a really nice job with this DE. No tearing with the iGPU (Haswell GT2), 27-28°C with air cooling, everything stable so far (15h uptime), I'm impressed. :)
