I came across to this YouTube video showing that using a Wacom Tablet as mouse. I didnt think it make sense because I have been using mouse ever since I start using a computer.

Some years ago I started playing around with Photoshop and learnt some basic photo editing skills. I bought one Wacom tablet during that time and enjoyed using it for some time. After I switched over to edit photos on my iPad, the Wacom tablet was just gathering dust on my office table.

After I watched that YouTube video and it showed how ergonomic it is if we replace our mouse with Wacom tablet. I thought why not I give it a go since I have one at home and its not doing anything. Not sure is it I’m getting old, after I tried using the Wacom tablet as my mouse, I got blown away by how comfortable it is. There was an issue with how to comfortably scroll using the pen, after I figure out the setting the enable scrolling using the pen, I believe this should be my mouse from now on. Its just so comfortable to use and very intuitive. And most importantly, I can finally utilize it and not gathering dust on my desk, because this tablet is not cheap at all…..

I built a PC quite some time back, mainly wanna use it as a gaming machine. The spec is not extremely high end, but it’s decent enough to play many games including the current AAA games.

My use case for this PC is slightly different than many others, I usually stream it using Sunshine, I rarely sitting in front of it and play games. I have been switching back and fore between Windows 11 and Arch Linux. Both has its pros and cons, Windows 11 has the best gaming compatibility while Arch Linux makes me feel right at home.

Everything changed when the Steam Deck is released. The OS makes a lot of sense when you only need it to do mostly one thing “Gaming”. Valve said that they will release SteamOS to the general public, but until now, it’s still not released. Many other alternative are there now and Bazzite is the one that keeps popping up from Reddit. I decided to give a shot and see why is it being recommended by so many.

Everything just works out of the box right after I installed it, all I need to do next is just login to my Steam account and download the games that I wanna play. Even Sunshine is officially supported by Bazzite, I just need to run a few commands and all the setup will be done automatically.

It really transformed my PC to almost feel like a gaming console, thank you to those who are behind Bazzite, you really made something incredible!

I dont usually watch any Korean drama or movies. I came across this show from a Facebook post and the topic was interesting so I decided to give it shot. Oh My God! No wonder everyone prefer watching Korean dramas nowadays, its really so good!

Recently, I was granted access to Copilot on my company laptop. I was told that it can help us code in many languages, I thought it could only help me correct some minor typo or syntax errors, I was completely wrong.

It not only understands what I want to do by just a few simple sentences, it can even give a long code that it just run without error.

The time consuming part when I need to prototype a new idea is that I need to do a lot of researches on how to use some functions or libraries to do what I want to do. Now, with the help of Copilot, it literally takes all these troubles away. I only need to tell what I want to do to Copilot and it will give me some working examples. It can even give me a few different approaches to solve the problem for me to choose which one best suits my needs. No wonder AI is such a hot topic recently..

So Nintendo is going after Ryujinx after all. Now the two big Switch emulators are gone. Thank you for your efforts!

I have been playing around with my home server setup after my Pi 5 was down during my holiday.

Since then, this blog has been hosted on my NUC till now. It was good, but I still prefer my server can be run on ARM CPU instead of x86.

I’m using the M1 Mac Mini since it was released, the performance is just so good that I cant tell its an ARM CPU. One annoying thing on ARM Mac is that, there is no good free virtualization software. Parallels is great, but its just too expensive for my use case. UTM is free, but somehow it not as stable. I faced quite a few times after Mac OS update my Arch VM just unable to boot.

I will give it a go one more time and see if it is stable enough to replace my Pi as the docker server. With docker, moving my blog around servers is just so easy, so why not give it a try? 🙂

Looks like the Immich phone app has updated to keep the phone awake when its uploading. Isn’t this feature supposed to be there in the first place..?

Not sure why after I updated my Pi5 server, I no longer able to boot it back up. And I’m oversea for the last week, so my blog was down for the whole week.. Next time I should not restart it when I’m not at home..

Typhoon, raining the whole week?
