  • The MT7902 WiFi/Bluetooth Chip by Mediatek Corp. does not (and probably never will) have any official driver support. There are some unsuccessful community attempts to get it working, but nobody actually managed to pull it off.

    G6 Soundcard works for simple pass-through but SBX features aren’t natively enabled, you need a Windows install with Soundblaster Connect to enable the functionality and load the settings into the onboard memory of the card.
    Linux “supports” Dolby Atmos but it sound mostly like dogwater if not combined with Atmos mixed audio.

  • What does that mean “refrigeration tech […] energy hungry”? The technical appilcation of the Carnot-Cycle is as close to maximum mathematical efficiency as we can get. Sure, it’s far from 100% efficient but we’re actively going against entropy here. In the end it all comes down to thermal isolation and losses. Even cheap fridges from the past 20 years take like 100 Watts once they’ve reached their target temperature. That’s only a bit more than a laptop and a bit less than a desktop computer on idle. AC-Units take a lot more but we already have a 100% efficency solution, it called “not bitching about the heat”.
