Quoting: NociferI think it's not so much about copyright infringement as it is about the right to distribute the library on its own

So basically Copyright infringement ;)

Science ghosts sciencing chocolate!

Well if we are to use the "ghost speak" used by (the silly) ghost hunters then it would be "ghosts doing ghost science with ghost chocolate".

Quoting: ShmerlSome messed up details here: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/01/pluton-microsofts-new-security-chip-will-finally-be-put-to-the-test/ [External Link]

Pluton will also be responsible for automatically delivering firmware updates through the Windows Update. By tightly integrating hardware and software, Microsoft expects Pluton to seamlessly install security patches as needed.

Yeah, and how is that supposed to work on Linux?

Honestly I think that Ars got that backwards. The chip does not contain any network capability what so ever from what I can find. Instead it looks like Microsoft is going to use the cryptographic capabilities of the chip to perform the authentication of the Windows Update patches instead of doing them in userspace and they are going to use the "Microsoft Pluton" name for their new NIH fwupd competitor where they will either force or ask nicely all hw manufacturers to send their firmware updates through Microsoft.

Linux is not involved here since no distro that I know of even use TPM for anything like this today. Microsoft can do this since they have made TPM2.0 or Pluton mandatory for Windows 11 so they know that every single hw out there that they run on will have this capability.

edit: The real downside here is that they refuse to jump on the fwupd bandwagon and decided to make their own.

Quoting: ShmerlHow is that Pluton different from current TPMs? Though I'm suspicious of MS being involved in it.

Basically it's TPM but built into the CPU instead of an external chip. The main rationale is that all attacks today against TPM happens in the interface between the CPU and the TPM so moving it into the CPU removes that potential exploit. It's also designed to be able to be have its firmware updated but at the same time designed so the secrets protected by the chip is not made available to the firmware itself.

So this is basically TPM3.0 but with a new fancy name.

Quoting: dziadulewiczWhat's with these numerous Windows specificisms :huh: are not those for Linux yet or what :dizzy:

Add note about available update (enabled in Windows)

Apply proper theme to Windows version of app

Set theme for Windows

Bump QT version used in Windows Release to 5.15

Since Windows don't have distributions applications needs to provide their own update method and also bundle a specific version of e.g QT. Theming I have no idea about.

Quoting: F.Ultrapiper/libratbag

If I am to be brutal it's just not up to the task for keyboards, Yes it can do the RGB but very basic, Openrgb is demonstrably better. thing with the g915 after 5 mins or so it reverts back to it's default profile.

Regards the actual Keyboard, piper is just not up to it. At the end of the day piper was/is aimed at mice.

Quoting: F.Ultraedit: Missed that support for G915 was new in this version of OpenRGB so don't know if support is better or worse in OpenRGB vs Piper.

I've ran the git on both for some time.

Just to clarify I AM NOT BASHING piper, It's purely aimed at mice and only recently branched out into keyboards from what I can gather.

Thanks for the info. Who knows, all of a sudden perhaps OpenRGB is also the better choice for mice. As of now the work is way to fragmented over piper, openrgb and the one for razor mice (that also have added support for logitech mice of course...) so we have to see if there is one that becomes the defacto standard or if there simple always will be multiple solutions.

Quoting: pete910The G915 is very buggy on *nix, Due to the fact Logitech thought it would be a good idea to NOT use the onboard memory by default for the profiles ect. Just a FYI the keyboard itself works fine, its the lighting/profiles thats not.

I did setup a vm to use Ghub, What a peace of crap that is. For some weird reason if you set it to onboard mode it greys out most of the options :cry:

May have been spoiled by my roccat gear as that worked flawless due to the roccat-tools ect. :sad:

Sorry all , rant over!

Yes GHUB is one large piece of crap. Have you tried piper/libratbag? AFAIK they should have LED support for the G915 (despite the name they handle Keyboards as well).

edit: Missed that support for G915 was new in this version of OpenRGB so don't know if support is better or worse in OpenRGB vs Piper.

Quoting: axredneckCan you add "VRAM amount" ?

Wouldn't GPU model tell you that?

Nope.

As in i use a GTX 1050 mobile, which has 2 versions. One with 4 gb vram, other is with 2 gb vram and that is the only difference.

GTX 1050 desktop only has 2 gb vram model so things are clear there.

Isn't that GTX 1050 Mobile vs GTX 1050 Ti Mobile?

No?

GTX 1050 Ti mobile are all 4 gb vram, GTX 1050 Mobile has 2 variants, one with 2 gb vram, other with 4 gb vram.

Ok, I have only seen 2GB versions of the 1050 Mobile so I assume that the 4GB one is quite rare?

You sure it's ready yet? :wink:

I'm about to find out. :grin:

Also fell for the temptation now with the sale and all, and it works way better on my old RX480 than I would have ever thought. So far only 2h in but everything seems fine for now.

The only issue is that alt-tab doesn't work at all.
