Actually really good. Deckyloader took care of a lot of the stuff I needed for the legion go’s native controller and so on. Only thing that’s bugging me at the moment is for some reason I can’t control or change the RGB for the thumb sticks or power button. The setting isn’t in the controller settings where it should be. But everything else just works, and it’s been great so far.
It turns out that steam os (Bazzite) has this already enabled. I just didn’t understand what I was looking at because windows displays battery level and setting differently and the battery always read at 80% on windows when plugged in vs not. On Bazzite it reads as “full” but the bar only shows at 80% which is hard to see on a small screen but easier to see when docked to the TV. Thanks for the pointers though.
In your vehicle perhaps this is true. In what I would wager is most vehicles there’s some modules that can die that will 100% make your car inoperable and if they do die you better have an o-scope and a diagram on the bench at home along with some very specific skills. Most people aren’t gonna be able to bring a module back, and even if they can they’ll still more than likely have to pay a shop to program it. Or clone it I guess.
I live under this person and I hate them. Saturday night it sounded like they were moving furniture at 2 am. Like trying to move out in the dead of night or something. No such luck though I could hear them walking around up there yesterday morning. May their toenails itch for the rest of their life.
No offense, but you went to a subreddit that’s likely to have people who enjoy google products and because of that are less likely to be critical even when they don’t agree with the company. Have you looked at the r/technology subreddit posts about this issue? Or r/privacy or any of the other subreddits that might give a better view?
This is like going to the apple subreddit to find out if people are outraged bout the price of iPhones.
Each one of those posts has hundreds or more comments and upvotes. Lemmy is still relatively small. I’m positive this is all over Reddit but I’m not gonna go check. The outrage is here and it is thriving where posts directly pointing to solutions are not (they get maybe ten to twenty upvotes and a handful of comments each). There have been multiple articles in the news cycle about it.
It was similar with the Netflix price hike and the Netflix anti-password sharing going public. Remains to be seen whether that outrage will actually amount to anything.
There’s outrage alright.

“Yes, a security researcher revealed this week that even DuckDuckGo, which markets itself as “the internet privacy company,” made an exception for its business partner Microsoft to its browser’s blocking of some advertising trackers on websites, sparking accusations of betraying its purported privacy ethos.”
No offense but I am not sure why people trust duckduckgo or brave. Brave for the obvious concerns with controversy surrounding their CEO. And duckduckgo for essentially being diet bing.
Imagine that you buy a phone from Google’s Google Fi MVNO cellular service. You order a phone and it’s to be delivered. The phone was part of a promotion for signing up. You paid a reduced rate for it because you are a new customer. Then the phone is stolen out of the package while in the custody of the shipping company. You make a complaint to Google because the phone never arrived and you can’t activate service and fullfill your end of the bargain without it. They say that it’s the responsibility of the shipper. You then make a complaint with the shipper who claims that although they may be at fault (not likely that they admit that), they are not on the hook for reimbursement. That you must contact Google. You go back to Google. They “escalate” your case to the next tier of customer support. You wait months. They charge you the full cost of the phone even though you never received it. They do this because per the terms of your agreement with them you did not activate service with the phone and maintain that service for the specified period of time and within a specified time limit. You contact your credit card company. They offer you the option of doing a charge back.
Google doesn’t like that you charged back. Now your entire personal and professional google accounts and anything linked to them are gone. They nuked them. There is no customer service to contact to review what’s happened. You can’t get into company email. You can’t get into private email. You can’t get 2fa codes sent to you via email for any of your bank or other web based accounts linked to that email. Anything and everything in Google drive? Gone. Your family photos? Gone. If you use an android phone you are no longer logged into a Google account rendering your phone only partially functional. They can’t serve you with personalised ads anymore. But on the other hand you also have no recourse other than hiring a lawyer (which may be exceptionally cost prohibitive) to get revenge porn of you removed from Google search results in compliance with right to be forgotten laws and anti-revenge porn laws. Meanwhile your data still allows them to target other people you interact with. They get ads for things like the same toothpaste that was on your shopping list in Google Keep. Movies you like. Shows you’ve purchased. That data you gave them free and clear can still be used by other people and agencies to track you. Your employment history. Your rental history. Whether you’ve ever been evicted.
They won’t sell it. But they’ll still use it. And you will have less avenues to delete it or otherwise change it.
I didn’t say they had a right to your data. I’m not defending them. I’m pointing out that cars these days (new ones especially) are as much device as they are machinery. And you absolutely do not want someone hacking your vehicle. And neither does the regulating federal authority in your country. As a result they put certain laws in place that may protect you from this possibility (being hacked), but also leave you open to being taken advantage of by the automaker (having your data taken without your permission).
To put it simply, this may not even be something they can do legally. For instance, when the mach E came out they were having serious electrical issues. The electric battery has it’s own junction box. So much current was flowing through the contacts that they ended up fusing themselves open or closed. That basically disabled the vehicle. It was fixed with an OTA update. The update works through the same antennas and network you’re talking about. If a vehicle can’t receive an OTA and it affects the security of the vehicle/driver or poses a danger on public roads? Might be out of compliance with NHTSA or other authorities of similar spec in other countries.

Or, here me out, you work a labor intensive job that is aging parts of you and injuring other parts of you earlier than someone who doesn’t.
