I didn't took it that way, and i know he didn't mean something against my country either. It's more of a general idea rather than thinking of something. I don't think of the US that much but I do have a general idea about it, current political situation, and the states.

Yes, born raised and probably gonna die here. I live in southern region of Iraq, specifically the city of Nasiryah. Generally everything are still lacking behind due to years of war but it's getting better bit by bit with some hiccups because of the Iranian government influence, inflation, corruption.

Most of us here think that life here is much better now, even with all the economic obstacles and challenges.

Not really much, the government only depends on oil for income with little to none effort of changing that direction. Electricity demand is higher than ever with the service declining each and every year.

It's really funny if you think about it, what America identified as terrorists and imprisoned at Abu Ghraib prison are now politics controlling Iraq's economy each one with his own militia to protect him from the law. We now only looking for the future with people tending to forget what happened 20 years ago in the hope that things get better.

Well nothing much since 2014 except it become more safe with the security situation becoming more stable that tourists are being attracted to here. Corruption still a big issue and we see more and more of these cases most of them don't get resolved unfortunately because of the authorities negligence. Lack of jobs made the people more mad with the last 4 years, protests became more often demanding of jobs in the government sectors. Water drought and the climate change started to effect our lives with no government efforts to reduce it's impact. Generally Iraq is better now people are happier than ever.

As an Iraqi, I do ask this question to myself a lot, what the world opinion on modern Iraq. It changed a lot especially after ISIS war, but people here generally don't value the change that much due to high unemployment rates, drought, and bossy militias.

You could break the security pin or use a small flat-head screwdriver.

I didn't have a Torx screwdriver, so I broke the pin and used a regular polydrive, disconnected the red wire, and rolled tape around the exposed end.

It did let me disable it on the Xbox Accessories app back on Windows.  Then it stopped working, and I couldn't open it again because it thought I had an old version of Windows for some reason. Now on Linux, it is still working aggressively to the point that the controller sometimes disconnects or falls off my hand.

Disabling it in steam input doesn't disable it in Lutris. I have already thought about disconnecting the motors as an alternative method after making sure there's nothing in the software that can do that, as in Windows.

Also, thanks for the info on the screwdriver.

I'm Running Linux Mint 21.3 mainly using Lutris and Steam for some native Linux games. It's so annoying, especially when it sometimes disconnects the gamepad. I'm using an Xbox One S controller connected through a USB cable.
