MSI laptop fan control

Hello,

Until this week I was using Windows for gaming. However since it won't recognise any HDMI screen I switched to linux gaming.

So far, everything I heard was true. We can play on Linux !

There is, however, one small "issue" that I have. I have a MSI laptop (GF65 Thin 10UE) and until now I managed the fans with Dragon Center when gaming. With Linux I don't seem to have that possibility, which leads to overheating issues.

Is there any tool suited to manage fans on MSI, since isw doesn't seem to be compatible with my particular model...

I like CoreCtrl. I don’t know how well it works with Intel and Nvidia, but it’s great on my AMD Thinkpad and desktop.

Nice thing is it’s in most distros’ repos these days.

When I installed Bazzite on my Asus laptop I got an Armory Crate application. There seems to be something similar for MSI laptops called MControlCenter, but don't know anything about it. Hope this gets you going in the right direction.

You want fancontrol

Try installing lm-sensors via your distros package manager then running sensors. Can just google how to setup fancontrol as well

in reply to poVoq

CoreCtrl is mid TBH. Not much granular control. Doesn't auto adjust so you have to apply every startup.

With my MSI motherboard I use coolero which is now named CoolerControl and removed it from flathub because they changed implementation.

Mostly avoidable causes of death


YouTube description: 58 of you watching this video right now will not be alive next week. And it’s not because of some freak accident or rare disease. It’s because of everyday actions you probably think are harmless. Let’s save your life today by looking at what is most likely to kill you next week – so you can avoid it.

Is this science tho? More like statistics if anything. I don't see any hypotheses being tested.
in reply to Boinkage

why does this have to be science though? Also it's stochastics, not statistics.

what's thr point of new shiny youtube clients if they're all dependent on a single method/backend ?

To say it was written in Rust & make it someone’s portfolio piece so they can use a Microsoft GitHub link on their Microsoft LinkedIn profile.

Evan Prodromou Launches The Social Web Foundation


Evan Prodromou, the creator of StatusNet, the OStatus protocol, and co-author of ActivityPub, is launching a dedicated nonprofit for the purpose of advocating for and supporting the Fediverse.
in reply to Sean Tilley

They have a page on "supporting long form text in the fediverse" - but this is already supported? I think it's only Mastodon and other microblogging places that put restrictions on how long posts can be.

in reply to ouch

You can use OnFailure in your .service file if you want some thing to happen when that specific service fails, but I don't know if there's a blanket way to tell systemd to notify via email when any failure happens (I wouldn't mind a desktop notification... will investigate)

When I checked a long time ago, there wasn't.

And not only failures, often it's useful to get mail for all executions.

I guess cron continues to have its place.

Would be very interested to know if Meta (listed as a "partner" organization) is providing financial support, like how fellow partner the Ford Foundation lists a $50k grant[1] in February 2024 to the Exchange Point Institute, which is the "fiscal sponsor" of the Social Web Foundation

Premises: a house or building, together with its land and outbuildings (properties).

Premise: an idea, theory, or theme that forms the basis for a statement or action.

Can't get into that bind if you only refer to it as OnPrem ^^

that libcuda one is real silly, cuda reserves a specific vram range for itself and eventually games will be wanting to allocate more and will overlap it like this

Beslut utan konsekvenser om fisket i EU. Idag finns en begrΓ€nsningsregel om fiskekvoter i EU som i princip sΓ€ger att allt riktat fiske efter bestΓ₯nd som riskerar kollaps kan stoppas helt.

Announcing: frog-protocols for wayland


From the repo

Wayland Protocols has long had a problem with new protocols sitting for months, to years at a time for even basic functionality.

This is hugely problematic when some protocols implement very primitive and basic functionality such as frog-fifo-v1, which is needed for VSync to not cause GPU starvation under Wayland and also fix the dreaded application freezing when windows are occluded with FIFO/VSync enabled.

We need to get protocols into end-users hands quicker! The main reason many users are still using X11 is because of missing functionality that we can be shipping today, but is blocked for one reason or another.


Mesa MR to add support for the 'frog-fifo-v1' protocol :(github.com/misyltoad/frog-prot…)

in reply to captainkangaroo

Basically the Matrix Spec Change Proposal system, I like it. Opens the floor to more players, gives tool authors a list of protocols they could choose to build on, and hopefully compositors will choose to adopt or adapt one of these protocols before writing their own.
in reply to captainkangaroo

I like the approach here, but the requirements are a little vague and prone to bikeshedding. Stuff like "could this be used by multiple clients" might mean a protocol is held in limbo whilst it's given extra scope for example.

It'll need some strong moderation which might rub people the wrong way, but if this keeps Wayland's cutting edge moving whilst the official solutions are found, I'm all for it.



Octopuses and fish caught on camera hunting as a team (ft. octopus punching fish)


"Octopuses normally hunt alone, but footage captured by divers has revealed that they can collaborate with fish to find their next meal. The videos, described today in Nature Ecology & Evolution (citation 1), show that the different species even adopt specific roles to maximize the success of joint hunting expeditions."

Wow, the best part being that the octopus "punched" opportunistic fish who don't help in the hunt.
in reply to Winged_Hussar

Epinephelus fasciatus has been removed from the group.

Sounds like the octopus wrangler knows how to leverage the behaviors of the various animals around it towards it's own ends. Pretty interesting! I'm also curious about their potential follow ups to see if they have memory for and can recognize previous group members.


in reply to ToastedPlanet

As long as most of us play zero sum game and capitalism is the only system that works, world is goin to shit. Number of years or decades don't really matter.


Announcing: Frog Protocols for Wayland


Some extra context: frog is invoked in a lot of Valve stuff, such as gamescope. So these existing protocols are already in gamescope and are gaming orientated.
in reply to John

y'know I'd say maybe the Wayland governance needs to dogfood Wayland for a few years and see how they really like it but I bet it's more or less perfect for them and so they care not for change or additions

in reply to superglue

Yeah, what a disappointment. This guy brought shame to the security community because he was salty that his vulnerability didn't get the attention it "deserved".
in reply to Treasure

Disappointment? Only if you mean the person that came up with FoomaticRIP.

For those who did not read the entire thing, it's a so called "filter" that converts the document before it's sent to certain nasty types of printers. Except it's not executed on the print server. The unauthenticated print server can just ask a client to run it on their side. And it's designed to be able to execute ANY command.
