    Oops! I thought it was some obscure DE.

    Considering your points, it seems to be most probably some configuration issue.
    Might even be that some of the automated monitor/display configuration tools (might be some GUI settings thing) wonked out and reconfigured something.

    If your system has some shortcut combination for selecting external monitor/connected projector/mirror screen, perhaps you can try that.

    Also, since you mentioned xrandr, I would assume X Session. You can also use xrandr to check and set the monitor configuration. Not just whether it is connected, but also location (left/right/up/down) and screen resolution of each display separately. Perhaps trying those could tell you what is happening.



  • Pretty simple actually.
    Just make sure you don’t have any resource worth anything in the international market.

    1. Let stuff like petroleum, Lithium, Uranium and other such thingies be sold to the first bidder.
    2. Have your soil be nuclear contaminated, down to the bedrock, so nobody wants your land.
    • Also, import all nuclear waste from other countries
    1. Have a population that looks as ugly as possible, so noone will want to rape your people.
    • Should be easier considering point 2
    • Something like leprosy in the genitals would help too.
    1. Be absolutely full of population, such that the place is a cesspool.

    Hey, I said it’d be simple, not that it would be easy or even humanly possible.



    1. Any recent software updates that you might find relevant?
    • It would be good to know which distro you use
    • “Samsung commercial” would make me believe it doesn’t get automatic updates, but just in case, that is also a factor.
    1. Does the TV work with other input sources on the same port?
    2. Reading “Samsung”, I would assume it has multiple input ports. What was the result with other ports.




  • Coming to answer after being woken up by a neighbour’s after-party noise, after a few hours of inadequate sleep caused due to noise from said party. And it’s half past ten. On top of that, I have had a bad sleep for the past 2 weeks due to continuous bombardment (no, that’s just Diwali) for the past 2 weeks.

    And even from the video, you may notice - It’s less about cars, but that people are loud:

    1. People like car go vroom vroom
    2. People like farting motorcycles and most of them over here, buy non-farting motorbikes and get them modified to get them to fart. Same for farting cars. Only a few cars that fart by default. Mist of the farters are modded.
    3. The horn problem is also more about people and less about traffic necessity. On top of that, the sound-proof cabins make it hard for car drivers to hear cycle bells. I recently got a near miss from that.
    4. And guess what, that area also gets loud when there’s a party
    5. Tire noise, I’d rather have that. How else would I know when there is a car behind me, before they blast the horn? In fact, me detecting the car first, looking back to see their lane and giving way, has prevented a lot of potential horns. But yes, if the low sound roads and the porous roads that help in rainwater infiltration (causing groundwater replenishment and reducing sinkhole probability) are the same, then I would definitely be for it.

    Air pollution:

    Picture shows cigarette butt on road, implying that someone smoked while driving/riding, causing others behind them to intake/inhale that smoke
    Taken from 9:13 in the video.

    • Roads have been pretty breathable [1] ever since Catalytic converters and I have been mostly fine, breathing heavily while running over 35.
    • There is another kind of farters. The vehicles who don’t get proper maintenance and start puffing white smoke, filling the road air with it, making me have to take a stop or hastily overtake them.

    There is just one case, where I would look differently and that is the case of tuk-tuks and mopeds, which turns out to be out of necessity and lack of money. Because those have to be cheap, to cater to the requirement of the target customer, reduced noise comes lower in the list of priorities.

    1. at least as long as you are only considering the vehicle smoke and not the smoke coming out of smouldering sticks in the rider’s/driver’s mouths ↩︎
