Gadget of the Week Playstation 5 Controller

DualSense™ Wireless PS5 Controller

• The DualSense wireless controller for PS5 offers immersive haptic feedback2, dynamic adaptive triggers2 and a built-in microphone, all integrated into an iconic design.

• Feel physically responsive feedback to your in-game actions with dual actuators which replace traditional rumble motors. In your hands, these dynamic vibrations can simulate the feeling of everything from environments to the recoil of different weapons

• Experience varying levels of force and tension as you interact with your in-game gear and environments. From pulling back an increasingly tight bowstring to hitting the brakes on a speeding car, feel physically connected to your on-screen actions.

• Available from Sony for $69.99

• Linux driver support

[From Roderick Colenbrander](roderick.colenbrander@sony.com)

• Supported in linux
  *DualSense in both Bluetooth and USB modes
  *LEDs
  *Touchpad
  *Motion Sensors
  *Rumble

• Not supported yet
  *Adaptive Triggers
  *VCM based Haptics

These features require a large amount of data and complex data structures. It is not clear how to
expose these. The current Evdev and FF frameworks are too limiting. We hope
to have a dialog on how to expose these over time in a generic way.

• Companies are starting to get it - make a good controller, make the code open so everyone can use it, people will buy your controller.

XFCE 4.16 has been Released!

https://www.xfce.org/about/tour416

• The Settings Manager itself received a visual refresh of its filter box
  *which can now be hidden permanently
  *Search capabilities of the filter box were improved by searching the descriptive 'Comments' part of each dialog's launcher

• Default Applications is a new dialog represents a merger between the previously available 'Mime Settings' and the 'Preferred Applications' dialogs.

• Added fractional scaling based on the RandR extension of X11

• Added more default keyboard shortcuts out of the box (Examples: for window tiling or to open Thunar)

• xfce4-panel

• The panel received quite a few noteworthy updates
  *Animation for autohide and intellihide
  *New 'Status Tray' plugin that combines both legacy Systray item support with modern StatusNotifier item support
  *Dark mode support
  *Launchers showing additional actions on right-click
  *Window buttons offering to Launch a new instance

• XFCE Power Managment was cleaned up

• The settings dialog of the power manager was cleaned up and shows either 'on battery' or 'plugged in' settings as opposed to both in a huge table.

[DarkTable](darktable.org) - 3.4 Encore!

https://www.darktable.org/2020/12/darktable-3-4/

• Best professional photography tools out there

• This is the second major release of 2020

• 5,500 commits in 2020!

• Many of the computationally-intensive image processing algorithms have been updated to be faster and more scaleable when running on the CPU.

• Improved operations to a number of the tools

• Releasing the first version of the new user manual, now split into a separate project named “dtdocs”. We have completely reorganised and rewritten the manual into a more maintainable structure using Markdown. This project has involved new content as well as a significant overhaul of the text, making it much easier to read for native English speakers

• In addition, filmic RGB version 4 now works with OpenCL and highlight reconstruction is now significantly faster with OpenCL-enabled hardware.

• New Module: Color Calibration

• Tone Equalizer Improvements

• Export Print Sizes

• Map View Changes

• The global color picker module UI has been overhauled

• It is now possible to automatically hide the header buttons on processing modules in the darkroom

• Hovering your mouse over the header of a processing module now displays a tool tip providing detailed in-app documentation.

Many users have requested customization of module groups, and now that feature is here! Processing modules in the darkroom can now be assigned to user-defined module groups. This replaces the previous “favorites” group and the “more modules” module with a tool that allows you to create your own module groups and presets based on your work flow.
