  • They were limiting their own production to raise demand and keep the price high, but then realized their competitors were benefiting from selling at those higher prices… so now they’re going to raise their own production and try undercut competitors on prices. They have the capacity to out-produce their competition, so they can afford to sell for slightly less than competitors if they want to, hence the "long and shallow” price war quote.

    They are against low prices, but if anyone is buying low they want to be the one selling it.





  • I found Fallout 4 had good gameplay, but the main questline didn’t connect with me at all. I’m currently playing through Starfield at the moment, have like 220 hours playtime, I honestly wish I wasn’t finding it so boring but it’s easily the most bland Bethesda game I’ve ever played.

    The story writing seems kinda half-arsed, but my main issue with Starfield is in the environments. Every location feels the same, and the planets are all just barren deserts with a random base and two caves plopped on it. At least Fallout 4’s environment felt hand-crafted, and not just like they rolled three dice.

    What part of it do you connect with most?






  • My monitors.xml has two <configuration> blocks, with the only real difference being that one has <layoutmode>physical</layoutmode> and the second has <layoutmode>logical</layoutmode>. I don’t really think that’d be the issue here though, because if the dummy plug is listed as disabled it shouldn’t be trying to use it anyway…?

    I think you’re right in reporting it to the GDM repo, at a minimum someone there will know where to point you towards figuring this out. Maybe the GNOME Mutter repo might be a related stop for this too, seeing that’s the part generating the monitors.xml…

    The things that are supposed to be simple are always the bits that suck the most!


  • Yeah, seems like it should just be working…

    You’ve probably already got this covered, but when you created your user monitors.xml config, did you have the dummy plug connected and disabled?

    Maybe the config:

    • has it included as a monitor and enabled as part of the screen layout
    • or possibly doesn’t include it at all, and then GDM just assumes it can/should use it as a new option?
