It's honestly surprising how bloated Windows has become, and for no clear reason either. Even with all of the obvious bloat disabled and resource-intensive features turned off there's still a significant overhead, it's just so constant that you don't notice it. Then you load up Linux on the same hardware and realize what you've been missing.

I think it took 9 months for Putin's checks to stop clearing.
Alright. Gore is the inside squishy bits of the body you shouldn't see: muscles, torn flesh, whatnot. You see someone's brains or a stump where an appendage was just separated, that's gore.
Blood is... well... blood. In context it's alarming, but ultimately it's just a bunch of opaque red liquid.
I mean, the phrase "blood and gore" sort of lays out the distinction.
For anyone wondering: it's not gory as such, but it is significant in that way that tells our lizard brains something undeniably bad just happened.
I had no idea there were existing compatibility issues to be honest. If anything I've had better luck using my 8BitDo controllers with the Steam Deck versus my Windows machines. My SNES30 (yes, SNES30, not SN30) always had issues co-existing with other controllers on Windows, but it's never been a problem on the Steam Deck.
You can update the title of your post to reflect the updated title of the article. One of the distinct advantages of Lemmy.
The future of piracy is going to be running your own LLM with all the corpo-mandated guardrails disabled.
By design, I'm sure. Can't have those poors even thinking about saving money.


Try installing libdvdcss or libdvdcss2. That may make Handbrake work correctly.
Past that, VLC also supports pulling content from DVDs, though it again uses libdvdcss. MakeMKV is probably the easiest option to use, though it will only extract the video/audio content and won't preserve menus and the like.
Quite honestly though this is one of the things where the bulk of the best tools are Windows-based. The original DVD Decrypter is still rock solid for most DVDs, and anything it can't handle you can usually get with DVDFab HD Decrypter or AnyDVD. All of those have pretty bare bones minimum system requirements, so your laptop should be able to run 'em. Whether you can do it via Wine/etc. or need to use a Windows VM I can't tell you, but that'd be where I'd go.
