I might have outdone myself with the generics :P

Luckily users don't need to look at it!
#devicedriver #rust

Meme: Big guy shielding a little guy from incoming arrows.

The big guy speaks of a rust function with many many generics.
The little guy sees a really easy to use function.

This report about #Wacom graphics tablets is disturbing for a couple of reasons.

1. They are surveilling users of their #tablet - a human-interface device analogous to a mouse or trackball - recording every application you open, or when you switch between windows of different applications. They are collecting this data via a trip through Google Analytics, aka Spyware Central. There is no possible way to justify collection of this particular data; it is none of their damn business how long you have your drawing program focused before switching to your browser and back again. The author notes their privacy policy really doesn't describe this collection of data correctly, so there really can't be informed consent in the first place.

2. Why on earth is it possible in #Apple #OSX / #MacOS for a USB human interface device driver to capture this information in the first place? Apple shares a big slice of the blame here - this should just simply not be possible for the driver to collect in the first place. Having such a driver allowed to place outgoing HTTP requests is also a big "WTF are they thinking?" moment.

Anyway, switching to the #Nouveau driver finally got me up and running with Wayland! I've been wanting to close down that last big security hole on my system, #Xorg , which has made my system's #Flatpak -based sandboxing not really sandboxing.
And now with my #Wayland session, I get nicer pinch-to-zoom, and get almost no flickering on maximize etc, too. However, there's stuttering sometimes, and lower FPS in games (tested on Minecraft) compared to the proprietary driver.

Argh Windows 10… PC slows to a crawl, requires a hard boot to recover, comes up with both external monitors NOT DETECTED.

Try all the usual things, unplug dock, check display settings, etc.

Oh Sure, just REMOVE the Display Adapter and reboot!

Oops, that require Admin rights.
Help Desk call, reboot

MAGIC (and 30 minutes wasted), monitors are back.

FFS, it is 2023 isn’t it?
