(This post was inspired by The Sims 3 fucking up my X11 server so bad with WINE’s implementation of this idea I had to zap it to get it to act normal again)
*Note: I have no idea if Windows lets programs set modes not specified in a given monitor’s EDID but it is funny to imagine :3
**Picture unrelated besides being another M$ bad idea
Windows 11 lets monitors download malware with root access via the windows update mechanism… so it’s not something I would be surprised about them doing
why don’t you instantly update everything – sadly most security people.
well you’re between a rock and a hard place. i guess you have to choose which holes you want in your software
It’s more getting burned multiple times by security team.
Then again they also still treat Linux like it does not exist so 🤷
thats usually because there’s no one cohesive way to manage the various linux distros without a massive headache… landscape is one main tool but it falls woefully short of the goal
Oh I understand that, except they ignore a fleet of Linux servers in that/don’t care about if those aren’t working with their av platform of choice for protection
tough gig, i don’t wish it on anyone really. there aren’t any good solutions where anyone is really happy
Especially when one side doesn’t try to work out solutions
I have a memory of some older games setting resolutions that my monitor didnt support. Many journeys into some config ini so i could see the game at all. I assumed it was because my TV at the time was some goofy ah 1360x768 screen that lied about being 1080i
Also sims 3 is basically malware that shit is written so badly idk how tf they even made it.
Fruit bats use wayland
