Taking the new Snapdragon 865, it has a geekbench5 single score of ~900 and multi score of ~3300. If I look up scores of my desktop Ryzen 5 1600, it has a single score of ~950 and multi ~5100.

Now I have trouble believing that mobile CPUs are this close to desktops in terms of single core performance, but are there any other benchmarks that could compare desktop CPUs and smartphone CPUs? I understand it's hard to compare ARM and x86, even more so when smartphone CPUs can't run at maximum performance indefinitely like desktops due to thermals, but if these scores are somewhat accurate and phone CPUs are closing in on desktops, wouldn't it mean that something like RPCS3, Xenia or Yuzu could

Steam on Linux has a tech called Proton (based on the awesome WINE software) which allows you to play Windows-only games on Linux. Proton is developed by Valve to expand the Linux gaming library. And rocket league seems to be working pretty well on Linux through Valve Proton. So Linux users will likely still be able to play Rocket League.

The ironic thing is that Valve does more for Psyonix and Epic's customers than Psyonix and Epic themselves. Way to go guys when another company cares more about your customers than you do.

I have 3 cameras on my phone - regular 48MP, 2X zoom lens and wide angle lens. I don't really care about the 2x, but the wide angle is extremely important to me. I haven't found any camera yet that supports these lenses. They all only support the main rear and front camera. Are there any or am I forced to use patched gcam on my phone?

The default CPU governor in Pop_os and most other linux distributions is on_demand, which can hinder performance in games and lead to stuttering. I understand that on laptops on_demand makes sense because you want to prioritize power saving over performance, but on desktop PCs, which will also be usually used for gaming or work that may require high performance, this doesn't make any sense. In windows 10 for example it automatically sets the system to performance mode when 3D applications are launched, but there's nothing like that on linux as far as I'm aware.

I'm sure Pop_OS could detect that you have no battery and therefore are on a desktop PC and just automatically set the CPU governor

I've been hearing horror stories on this sub of people losing their quad somewhere and never finding it and I really don't want it to happen to me. I've seen people put GPS modules on their quads but all they ever talk about is using it for speed and return to home. Is there any way to track a location of the quad with a GPS module on the field? I know that when you connect a quad with GPS to betaflight then it shows you the current location so I feel like it should work somehow.

For the past two weeks I was waiting for my quad and charger to arrive and was training on liftoff a lot. Well yesterday my quad finally arrived (diatone GT R349) so I get to assembling it and configuring. Took me few hours to get everything working and I tested it at home in self leveling mode and everything was fine, the quad was flying stable and just as I would expect, zero issues. Even the video was crystal clear (I unlocked my VTX and set it to 800mW). So I took the quad, took my batteries and goggles and went out. I drove for about 10 minutes to a nice small field behind the city pretty excited to finally fly in real life for the first time.

I set everything up, put on the goggles an

So this appeared in my default calendar app today. It's obviously some kind of a scam site but I have no idea how it got there. I tried scanning my phone with AVG and it didn't find anything but I definitely feel like this can't be normal.

So tomorrow my quad is supposed to finally arrive from china and I just learned that my battery charger that I ordered almost 3 weeks ago from banggood was just now shipped 2 days ago, which means I'll be waiting for it for at least 2 weeks. I have no idea how that happened as when I was ordering it said the processing time was 1-2 days and it was in stock. I already have FPV goggles, radio, receiver, batteries and tommorow I'll have the quad but I'll have to wait another 2 weeks just to charge my batteries :(

Isn't there any way to charge 3S and 4S LiPos without a charger? I have a ton of usb phone chargers, different kinds of chargers for other devices, I even have a USB charger for 1S

I have the Mi 9 SE and I absolutely love the fullscreen gestures, but the problem is that the gesture to go back on the left side is interfering with a lot of apps that have a pullout menu from the left like reddit is fun. It's genuinely hard to use these apps with the gestures enabled because every time I try to bring out the menu it just goes back and closes the app. I tried looking if there is a way to disable the "swipe left" gesture to go back and only keep the "swipe right" gesture to go back but I haven't found anything yet. Is there a workaround for this or maybe addressed in future MIUI updates somehow?
