I've currently been messing around trying to make the Switch 2 Pro Controller work on Linux using the raw HID commands from this website, to potentially build into a driver as a bit of a project to get better at C. However, seemingly nothing I use can send any commands properly, or at least in a way that makes the controller work. I've tried both echo, sending bytes to the /dev/hidraw6 device (that device at least on my system, may vary on others), as well as hidapitester (a wrapper for hidapi). I know the device works, as a WebUSB tool that uses the same commands makes the controller work on this system. Is anyone more familiar with this, and can point me in the right direction? I'm on Fedora Linux 42 if that info helps.

On June 4, in response to the unfolding genocide in Gaza, France’s CGT dockworkers refused to load arms components bound for Israel at the country’s largest port in Fos-Marseille. Their action forced the ship to leave port without its deadly cargo.

why is unzipping on android so slow compared to Windows? I've tried ZipXtract, MaterialFile... All took 10+minutes to unizip a zip file that only took 30 seconds to unzip on Windows.
Why is this the case and i s there any way to speed it up?
Thanks a lot
EDIT:
I am using google pixel 9a so this issue looks like it might not be the issue of storage speed
Windows is not running in a virtual machine, just a normal laptop
Typo in the post fixed
EDIT AGAIN:
Solved!
yes it the archive does contains thousands of small files! I think that could be the reason of low performance on android mobile!
I also use ZArchiver and unzipping is zippy (sorry) in my experience. Not quite as fast as Linux but that's to be expected considering the hardware difference.
However Windows is quite slow in this regard in my experience. It can easily take 30 seconds to extract a zip file that Linux can do in under a second, often with a sub 1MBps throughput. This is on an NVMe SSD.
The "a" series is googles budget phones, they also use budget storage (ufs 3.1), its by no means super slow but definitely could be a contributing factor if your archive is very big with lots of random writes and reads
Bottleneck is usually storage speed rather than processing power. If you have a device that can use external sd cards and your device supports high-speed cards, that might help, though if the controller for sd cards is slow, that might just end up a worse bottleneck. But that's just a guess and it definitely could be that your memory is not sufficient or background apps are eating up processing, such as crypto-mining malware just as an example. You can check resources over adb while unzipping or try some benchmarks to determine your issue.
Anecdotally, I have no issues on my Pixel 7 Pro and never had issues on past Pixel or Nexus phones I've owned (generally higher end models with plenty of memory and storage space). Pixel devices don't include sd card slots so this is all on internal storage in those cases.
Sure anything is likely to take longer on a phone than on a laptop or desktop, but shouldnt be that significant of a difference unless there's a hardware bottleneck or other apps are using all the resources.
Pixel 9a has some issues with performance, currently. They used older storage tech for the 9 and 9a than other devices and not enough memory for all the "AI" features that are tracking everything you do to make things more convenient. There are a few articles out there related to some ways to improve performance a bit by disabling some background apps that you may not be using. It's also possible future updates from google may fix some of whatever is causing the issues for many users.
But it's not an endemic Android issue, at least not modern versions in my experience. I use GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7 Pro currently and just grabbed a couple of 10+ GB zip files I had on an old dropbox account and unzipped them with the fossify file manager. It was basically instant. Took longer to download them than unzip.
As I mentioned, your best bet is to use ADB or similar and monitor what applications are eating up resources and try to free some up. Especially any apps thrashing the storage or filling memory. That's assuming you have already uninstalled any bloatware and rebooted rece

Yeah that can make a difference in some cases. Are they media files? Android tends to do more scanning of those as each is created. You can also set a .nomedia file in the directory that you're unzipping to on order to reduce sone of that, though not sure if the new AI stuff obeys those like Android itself does.

...all of the models evaluated "demonstrate near-zero confidentiality awareness."
Any agent that is accessible from outside the company (e.g. a customer support chatbot) is going to have to deal with malicious actors. If it has access to sensitive information, and no confidentiality awareness...seems like a problem.
My only hope is that AI like early social media and web services is supported by mountains of vc cash offering services at a loss in order to build users and familiarity, and while it'll continue to exist after it has to shift to a profitable business model, it'll essentially be relagated to corners of the economy where it makes sense and they'll stop trying to hamstring it into everything.
I think that's exactly what's gonna happen in the long run. Right now we're in the hype phase of a new technology, but one the hype dies down we'll start identifying use cases where the tech actually works well. At the same time the tech itself is going to mature, and people will figure out how to work with it effectively.
Well the article says that the AI agents were able to complete 30% of the tasks given to it like searching the web, communicating with co workers, etc. I think this is interesting
CMU researchers have developed a benchmark to evaluate how AI agents perform when given common knowledge work tasks like browsing the web, writing code, running applications, and communicating with coworkers

my autism perpetually plagues my employment prospects and the memories of my struggles to gain employment in the few years since college makes me pitty others like me who will be forced to do the same thing I did.
i have an unfortunate front row seat to the asshattery that our capitalist system has created for young people trying to get a foothold in this industry and i don't know what to make of it since they, themselves support the same system that's fucking them over and sometime virulently defend it; it's a bit like watching maga cheer on their own demise.
Took long enough. People are so god damn stubborn.
Windows 11 is an annoying experience out of the box, yes; like Linux, you have to do some tweaking to get it functioning the way you like it (start with installing StartAllBack to fix the Start Menu + taskbar issues, and O&O Shut Up 10 to stop the ads and telemetry) but if you're big into HDR like me then there is no OS better than Win11 for a quality HDR experience that just works.
But if you're not into HDR, don't play games with kernel-level anticheat, and don't have expensive DJ equipment that is only compatible with Windows and MacOS, then there is no reason to continue using Windows. Linux is a much better option for you.
HDR actually works fairly well on Linux these days. Been using nobara for the better part of a year now and almost every game I’ve tried, that has HDR support, just worked out of the box.
Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.
The rules of the institutions that define our lives bend like reeds when it comes to Israel – so much that the whole global order is on the verge of collapse
Yeah but alliances like NATO and the UN weren't built to prevent genocide. They were built to protect certain power structures and to keep certain nations in control. Stopping genocide was sometimes useful in accomplishing this but nothing more. They never actually cared about people and never will.
That's so true. 30 years ago the US, with the help of it's vassals, hid its Imperial wars and resource extraction under the banner of globalization and human rights.
