High Ping Issue
Hi all, Does anyone having crazy network latency swing right now? Or, is it just me? Using the ping test website, https://gameserverping.com/overwatch [https://gameserverping.com/overwatch], I can my ping bouncing between 20-300 ms. It has been like this for days now, so it is not my internet. So, I am just wondering if Blizzard has decided to cut some cost on the OW server.

Overwatch 2 Invasion DLC is broken on Steam
They will take your money but won’t give you the content or coins. If you try getting support. Blizzard will redirect you to Steam support, who will then redirect you back to Blizzard support. Also, you can’t get a refund. FUCK THIS GAME. I AM OUT.
Cannot update flatpak packages
Hi, I am having this strange issue where the flatpak would say that it is updated successfully, but the packages remain in the list of available updates. The packages still works. And I have tried flatpak repair --user, to no success. This propably due to the fact that I have to restore my home folder from a backup, via Déjà Dup. And I assuming there is a conficting cache file some where?
Mokibo Folio, disappointment after 2 years of waiting
Hi all, The Mokibo Folio is a keyboard-trackpad combo that was initially announced on Kick Starter in 2019. I was one of the original backer for the project, thinking that this would be a relatively good bet since this was not the company’s go at this. However, after I got my device following 2 years of delay, it is so much of a disappointment that I just have to make this post to warning everyone against it. The 2 years wait was much of a problem. That is just the nature of Kick Starter projects, and the company did made adjustments the the design to be compatible with the latest model of the iPad (just have a bigger camera hole). The problem is with the functionality of the device itself and (to some extend) iPadOS: (1) The device have a hard time sorting out the electrical noises from the touchpad system. That means the touchpad often stop working or the device start inputing random keys. This would happen whenever the touchpad is enabled, and the device is moved or is placed near magnets (like those in the iPad). For example, here is me docking the iPad 11” Pro on it: “]”; that was not much, so let me try again: “ ]=!@$^|}65432!] !@£$%Q)@$+_\32146 }!@£$)^~|+ ” There we go. The problem goes away when I disable the touchpad function, but that is hardly a solution. That touchpad will automatically turns on when you turns the device on and off. (2) Even if the touchpad works, it is still not a pleasant experience. In some apps, i.e. Viber, the spacebar is not registered as a spacebar, but a left-click; which obviously a problem. Multi-touch gesture just does not work at all. And, whenever the folio is on and connected to the iPad it would show this obnoxious highlighted box on the the screen (where you can press Tab to move between UI elements). I have contacted Mokibo support for this. And to be fair, they responded quickly and sent me a replacement. But, the replacement unit have the exactly same problem. Firmware updates helped a bit. Turning it from unusable to an annoying BOS, so there is hope for this device. But, there is no guaranty that the all of the usability problems will be sorted out. So. Once again, this is an absolute: not recommended.
Overwatch 2 on linux
I just noticed that the recently updated version of Battle.net [http://Battle.net] cannot be installed correctly on PopOS anymore. I can still launch and play Overwatch 2 with a previously installed version. However, if I try to install it from scratch, it would get installed but won’t run in the foreground. There is a background process and there is taskbar icon, but no window. And, if I try to update the app in the working version it would just try to restart, but then hang in the background and fails. Here is the PC/software specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x GPU: AMD Radeon rx 6800 OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS App: Bottles Wine ver: GE-Proton7-53 DXVK ver: 2.1 VK3D ver: 2.9 Synchronization: FSync I am personally affected by this, since I do have the old version installed, and the problem only effecting the Battle.net [http://Battle.net] client not the games. But, I think it would be a good idea to warns everyone, in case someone is trying it for the first time or thinking about deleting the installation they currently have.
