I've been trying to find some good and cheap AC/DC chargers for USB devices. I've monitored two of them with upower. I'm trying to reconcile the reported charging rate for my laptop battery against the chargers advertised wattage rating. Im seeing correlation between the rated wattage and charging rate in upower so I'm not too worried, but it is unexpected seeing the results for the first time. One thing I found odd is that as the wattage ratings increase, that the charging rates do not increase at the same rate. I'm wondering how accurate these reported metrics are, if it could be the laptops sensors that are suspect, or if this is simply due to inefficiencies in power conversion (reported charge rate is close to 50% of wattage rating).

I am starting with podman (rootless) and I have configured an Ipv6-only subnet with podman network create --subnet xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:5401::/64 --gateway xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:5401::1  podlan6 where my ISP gives me a xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:5400::/56 prefix and my host has an IP in xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:5400::/64. When I do podman run --rm -it --net=podlan6 --ip6 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:5401::10 docker.io/curlimages/curl -6 https://ip.network, I see that the container appears to the server on the internet as xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:5400:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy (my host's IP). How can I get it to appear as being on the 5401 subnet ? podman is 5.7.0 on Ubuntu 26.04 and the backend is pasta 0.0~git20260120.386b5f5-1.

Installed Network on both sides with the respective shared directories (e.g.: via SSH). Done on the Ubuntu Laptop (KDE 24.04) via LAN. Connection established, a ping to the given Domain Server name, "Laptop" was possible. Some days later I did use the WLAN of the Ubuntu Laptop, same Domain server name, the connection from Windows 11 to Ubuntu server could not be established. It seems to me, the same domain server name but a different IP leads to this problem. Any Idea how to solve this problem ?

An M.2 SSD (Lexar 970), which has been in use in one of my systems (Mixtile Blade 3 onUbuntu 24.04.4 LTS) for almost one year, is suddenly no longer recognised. It used to appear in lsblk as nvme0n1, but this is no longer the case: mixtile@blade3n1:~$ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS loop0 7:0 0 101.4M 1 loop /snap/lxd/39323 loop1 7:1 0 38.7M 1 loop /snap/snapd/23772 loop2 7:2 0 68.9M 1 loop /snap/core22/1912 loop3 7:3 0 61.9M 1 loop /snap/core24/1644 loop4 7:4 0 103.8M 1 loop /snap/lxd/33105 loop5 7:5 0 42.6M 1 loop /snap/snapd/26869 mmcblk0 179:0 0 116.5G 0 disk ├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 4M 0 part ├─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 512B 0 part └─mmcblk0p3 179:3 0 116.5G 0 part / mmcblk0boot0 179:32 0 4M 1 disk mmcblk0boot1 179:64 0 4M 1 disk Neither do fdisk -l and

I fear this is some kind of basic issue I misunderstand, but am curious how this can occur. I have Lumos fiber (now T-Mobile) and an OPNsense firewall. For unrelated reasons I captured the WAN port, all packets, not in promiscuous mode, and I see packets where the from and two address are both not mine, and the MAC address IS mine, and I do not understand how they got there. They are ignored by the firewall (or blocked probably) but my question is one of basic understanding - how do they come there? I have a static IPv4 address (they do not offer IPv6), and all of these packets are in apparently random subnets unrelated to mine (mine starts with 66.x.x.x). I would expect them to never reach my router, it's not like I am a default gateway for anything (but myself). And they are unicast, and they have my correct (masked in the image) MAC address. I guess something very local (sharing the last hop) could be spoofing my MAC address but that just doesn't seem

I want to record video of old, low-resolution video games (Game Boy Advance, SNES, etc.) and store the video at the original resolution for later nearest-neighbor upscaling. With the standard settings in OBS, however, this results in extremely washed-out colors, as well as color bleeding immensely between pixels. Upscaling the video in advance results in acceptable quality, but consumes unnecessary storage space and causes further considerations if I’d like to scale it up further in the future. Consider the following examples: A lossless screenshot of a Game Boy Advance game. The full resolution is 240×160.

Problem I am currently developing a keyboard layout for macOS. The problem is that, since macOS only seems to apply changes of a keyboard layout .bundle at log in, I need to log out and log back in in order to see the changes I made to the files within the .bundle take effect. This slows down the development process a lot. Ideas This post from 15 years ago already asked for a solution to the exact problem I have, and no solution seemed to have been found by the OP back then. However, @jonallard commented the following: If it's helpful: to try a keyboard while developing, I added a new file to the folder with a different filename and keyboard name, and added it in settings. That way you can at least try your keyboard without log in-out. Question I can't quite understand what exactly @jonallard sugg

I have a spreadsheet created the Excel 365 (2604) which looks similar to the image below: This is just a large table of data which is relevant to my job, with some conditional formatting. There are no formulas. I also have an Excel script which sorts this table: function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) { let selectedSheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet(); // Custom sort on range range A1:G13 on selectedSheet selectedSheet.getRange("A1:K1048576").getSort().apply([{key: 0, ascending: true}, {key: 3, ascending: true}, {key: 4, ascending: true}, {key: 5, ascending: true}, {key: 8, a

About a month ago, I noticed that several Windows apps had stopped working. Among these apps was the Microsoft Store, as well as the Weather app and “Solitaire & Casual Games.” About a week later, the “Media Player” and “Game Bar” suddenly stopped working as well — even though these apps had been functioning just fine beforehand. All my research into the problem has yielded no results. I wanted to try repairing the apps, but that option isn't available to me. I only have the “Reset” option. I attempted to reset them, but I simply received an error message stating that the app could not be reset. Initially, the whole situation looked like a virus to me. However, virus scans—conducted using both Windows Defender and a separate antivirus program (which I installed specifically for this scan, and which had helped me resolve a virus issue years ago)—came up completely clean. Today, the “Movies & TV” app has also stopped working. For
