for anyone who wants to offer actual advice: its a lenovo thinkpad t450 with a soldered i5-5300U that hits over 90C when running cargo compiles. I have changed the thermal paste and it didn't do much.

So I have an RTX 3060, and I tend to prefer using wayland because Plasma 6 on X.org is a bit bugged/sluggish, to the point where the window minimize animation lags. However, I also want to play some pirated video games. The natural answer to this would be to use wine, and so I did. I used the wayland build for wine, but there's a strange frame-skipping phenomenon. I don't know what to call it, but the game skips back and forward in frames every couple seconds. The logs just constantly spam 017c:fixme:d3d:wined3d_device_context_resolve_sub_resource Multisample resolve is not fully supported for typeless formats (dst_format WINED3DFMT_R8G8B8A8_TYPELESS, src_format WINED3DFMT_R8G8B8A8_TYPELESS, format WINED3DFMT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM)., filling the scrollback buffer.

Is there any solution to this frame-skipping problem? I haven't been able to find anything on SearX.

This post is going to be a bit personal (and maybe a little bit out of context, it's not just Google software I want to remove) but I'm tired of not knowing what to do about it. I want and have wanted to get rid of a bunch of proprietary software in my life, including but not limited to Google's software, for quite a while now, and I even got a Pixel 7A with hopes of installing GrapheneOS. But there are a few problems. First, my parents are understandably concerned and need me to use Google Maps' location sharing whenever I go to school. All my classmates use Instagram and we have that as our only messaging platform. I currently use DFInstagram, but I feel that it is not free from spyware. Finally, I also own a DJI Mini 3 Pro, and the associated DJI Fly app just refuses to work under GrapheneOS (I tested). Is there anything I can do to replace or limit the access of these aforementioned proprietary apps?

(reupload because the old one had a bad title) I'm just an Ace Combat fan, I don't support wars or whatever.

PS: Im just an AC fan I don't support wars or whatever ;-;

So, I bought a Google Pixel 7a. I ordered it from Prime Gadgets, through skroutz.gr (I live in Greece). Ever since I placed that order, it's been on "To be sent" for several days. To make matters worse, yesterday, the ETA changed from (22-2-2024 to 26-2-2024) to (23-2-2024 to 26-2-2024). What should I do?

Edit: This has been solved. it just got updated with an ETA of 27-2-2024 and now mentions a specific courier. No further advice is needed. Thanks for the help.

I live in Greece, and I'm getting a Pixel 7a, but the delivery is... not going well. It's been stuck on "To be sent" since I ordered it. I was wondering where I could get help with this problem?
