Ultimately this change, while frustrating, probably doesn’t change the initial value for those who fit these two categories:

• Needs Windows
• Cares about their privacy

These people were already going to go out of their way to use the OOBE bypass. They still will. This is no more effort thanbit already was.

Microsoft crossed the line already by disallowing offline account creation through their default setup process.

I mean, not really. You had to open command prompt anyways. The command is just a bit different now. There’s no monetary penalty here, just a few more keystrokes.

Important note is the demo was never available for download through steam, only via the website of the listed developer. Valve/Steam have only removed the store page listing.

TechCrunch’s writer here just appears to be lazy as hell. Here’s a better article: https://www.thegamer.com/steam-gets-second-game-in-as-many-months-that-adds-malware-to-your-pc/

Honestly the Reddit thread is the best of the bunch though if you want more details

Honestly the idea of a Gamepass Centric handheld is one I’m surprised they didn’t go for already. If they push it with just the Xbox styled front end, it’ll probably be more appealing than the xbox itself

Potential ketamine addiction aside, he’s just gravitated toward where he sees more money and unfluence for himself. He wanted the prestige of being a leader in tech, so he used his influence and money to build SpaceX. Then he bullied his way into the ownership of Tesla, desperately wanting to appear as a genius to libertarian and liberal minds alike, but he’s never been any less of an authoritarian. When Trump rose to power the first time, he sat and watched and along with the rest of the Silicon Valley Moguls, he began to move himself into positions of influence with populist politicians, borrowing the evangelical right’s playbooks and throwing himself into the spotlight no matter the reason. He pivoted off his falsified image as some kind of American self-starter into MAGA rhetoric.

Musk doesn’t have lofty ideals or any real focus on the betterment of society. I don’t think he ever did. He just wanted to be a real life Tony Stark and command the influence that came with it. Now he doesn’t need to, because he’s got Trump in his back pocket and is mostly untouchable by any normal means.

I wonder if this is at all related to the EU changes to eBook DRM standards, where the standard Kindle Adobe DRM isn’t compliant

I use Wayland exclusively, but unfortunately I don’t think I have an answer for you since I’m not entirely familiar with this idea. Is your concern just for the configuration of a universal set of hotkeys configured within the compositor rather than a desktop environment?

I wasn’t aware that x11 facilitated this. I’d have figured keyboard mappings are abstracted from the compositor and left to the DE to handle, aside from core binds that allow dropping back to tty

Bunchie, is that you?

I think the complaint is that it got linked in the linux community? Idk

I suppose the organization I’m in never made use of those. Wasn’t even aware that they offered an alternative to power automate as a means to integrate with MS software lol

You know, people gripe about it endlessly, but after they rewrote it to be more performant, most of my problems with it ended there. It’s fine as a chat client. Calls work well, video hasn’t been a problem, screen share quality is decent and you can even provide remote support through it in a pinch. It doesn’t even consume 2GB+ of memory when sitting idle anymore.

As far as Electron apps go, Teams hasn’t been terrible for a long time now.

Well this is… disappointing. I picked up an A1 at the end of last year because it “just works”, and I was tired of fighting my Ender 3 instead of actually printing with it. I’m extraordinarily happy with the quality of the printer itself, but I’ll be refraining from updating the firmware I guess, as I don’t allow it to use cloud services, and it lives on my LAN as the only means of management.

What would be the difference between Fedora Kinoite and this?

Definitely a valid thing to have. Imo, as long as it provides value to you creatively or intellectually, then it’s a worthwhile hobby. It sounds like you are using it as well, so that’s just a bonus really.

I’m halfway into that mindset, but got myself a bambu after fighting an Ender 3 for so long and for now at least I’m content to just have a working printer instead of a half assembled one 80% of the time. So many calibration cubes.

It also doesn’t mean anything. It’s not even slang, it’s just a meme reference.

The company providing this promotion has a set budget that covers the “cost” of the giveaway. Since this is a monthly service, that budgetary constraint is likely just the value of 6 months times the number of people they feel is acceptable to lose money on in the efforts of a marketing campaign… Once that allotment has been used, by way of people redeeming the offer, they end the promotion.

The people who redeemed the code or whatever credit to their account is still going to get 6 months of that service. There’s no threshold that has to be met in order for everyone to get it.

Client, potentially. Sadly definitely not a server since the removed hardware encoding

The problem is they didn’t initiate the DMCA process at all, nor did the report submitted have anything to do with Copyright Infringement. They submitted a fraud/phishing report, as if the domain itself was serving or facilitating malicious content harmful to someone who visits it… So forget the DMCA process, this was straight up just corner cutting on the part of the firm representing Funko that misrepresented the nature of the situation as a whole.

Because you’re serving the website on a non-standard port, you will always need to provide the port in the web browser.

That said, I don’t see anything wrong here. It looks like you’ve got the right ports set, TCP should be correct. You may not get a ping, because ICMP is likely not enabled at the modem. When you ping, you ping the first device that’s exposed to the internet, not an open server.

Just to be sure, when you’re on your phone, you’re using data? If you’re on wi-fi, the modem/router may not be configured to perform NAT reflection, so you won’t be able to access anything via your WAN IP.

I am a Linux user. Bizarre assumption to make given my excitement over a Wayland specific Discord feature. But I don’t have any actual qualms with how Discord implements its own services. Matrix just doesn’t fit the bill for me. If you enjoy it, and it suits your needs then all the power to you. It just isn’t what works for me.
