They don’t!

A friend told me they had a laptop that just suddenly stopped working and took forever to boot up.

Turns out it was a W10 laptop and it prompted them to install Windows 11 which basically made it non functional. Took 10+ minutes to boot and could barely open a single browser window. I installed Linux and suprise surprise the laptop worked perfecly fine.

It’s a reference to the movie Good Will Hunting where Matt Damon is working as a Janitor at a school but solves a teachers “impossible” maths puzzle. The teacher asks who in his class solved it, but nobody stands up (Matt Damon is not in the class)

I was obsessed with this game years ago and could never remember what it was called, I can’t wait to jump in!

I second this, have been using it for years and can never go back

This happened to me as well. I used to buy anything I could from Gog, but after getting a Steam Deck and switching to Linux on my home PC I went back to Steam due to Gog’s refusal to support Linux.

It was the most wish listed game on steam I don’t think it caught Steam off guard, Steam just doesn’t care. The servers break every summer sale as well and they’ve never tried to fix it.

Pensioners have ruined the UK.

I’d rather take my chances with the 16 year olds whos demographic votes left, than the pensioners voting for the Tories and Brexit, and ruining the country for everyone under 65.

Expedition 33

Never liked that title

As someone who loves the steam deck, the verification system is a total joke and should be totally ignored. There’s plenty of “verified” games that run terribly, or don’t work. ProtonDB is what you should use instead.

This is completely untrue and I don’t know why people keep repeating this.

I’d be interested in these! I’ve played all the big ones so would love to find some obscure stuff!

I spent hours trying to set up the GUI and couldn’t get it to work. Tried the AUR, Flatpack etc and no luck. In the end I just set up the command line version of open VPN with an Alias.

Beat me to it

I was apout to suggest this, I get leg cramps semi often and this tip is a life saver.

Yeah it’s a bit of a nightmare. If you want to play the base game without any mods, I think it should work fine just using Proton GE now. But if you want the HD texture pack you have to jump through so many hoops.

I imagine in a few months the process will be streamlined, but this seems to be the only way to get it working at the moment.

Is there any reason to switch from Bitwarden now? I heard Proton Pass was pretty bare bones at launch, but how has it come on in the past year? I currently use the rest of Proton’s suite but not Proton Pass as Bitwarden was better when Proton Pass originally launched.

Netflix does let you add “guest” users in different households now, although It could be it just hasn’t hit you yet. When they announced the password crackdown it stopped Netflix working in my second household, but we just logged out and in and we haven’t been “blocked” since.

It seems for the initial debacle they blocked loads of accounts but I don’t know how often they do a ban wave or if they just figured the original announcement would get more people to buy subscription’s (which seems to have worked).

I’ve never seen a clothing store using RFID tags before but that’s quite interesting technology. I’ve just done some reading up on it and I hope more places start using it it seems convenient and something I’d like to see adopted on a large scale.

I feel the people who don’t like self checkout keep trying to push the idea that it’s bad or putting people out of jobs, rather than just admitting it’s convenient for most people. If i want to buy one or two items I don’t want to queue up behind 5 people with a full trolley.
