For Show means that some official is just making noise to appeal their their higher ups and nothing will come of it.

For Their Own Ends means that they don’t want protest groups forming where they can’t see it.

For show or for their own ends?

Pinetab2 shipped with a wifi chip without any Linux drivers. The drivers eventually got made, but before that, you needed a USB dongle with Ethernet or a adapter.

I would also like a USB-c wifi dongle for tech support reasons. Sometimes, the wifi hardware fails and you need a quick replacement to figure out what happened.

If he’s consuming right wing social media, it might be because he’s bored. Others have suggested left wing media, but maybe just finding other activities to do would help. These cost money, but maybe camping/hiking, hobby electronics/combat robots, dirt bikes/go-karts, RC planes/drones or metal fabrication are ideas that come to my mind. These are hobbies that have either politics neutral or left leaning communities. If he picks up that you’re trying to politically influence him, he’ll likely dig his heal in.

You can’t buy a UCB-C Wifi dongle that last time I checked. You have to buy a c-to-a adapter, then use a usb-a wifi dongle. It’s nuts that those don’t exist.

Check make/models online to see if there’s a fuse you can pull that powers the telemetry computer. Sometimes the telemetry is part of a combined computer unit. Sometimes it’s an isolated computer unit.

Technology? No.

Consumer Electronics? Yes. Or at least there’s a debatable transition and cutoff point.

Probably, but I’m already running ancient hardware and I tend to favor retro and indie games, so I’m not the best to ask about that. Some people do report better performance under Proton though. Windows has a lot of bloat that doesn’t exist with WINE/Proton running in Linux.

I just use Mint. Just think of Proton as a feature of Steam. I just pick a game from my Steam library and select Force Compatibility mode on and install. Heroic Launcher (for GoG and some other things) is a few more steps, but I didn’t need a guide to figure it out. Heroic lets you choose either Proton or WINE, so I installed Steam first to minimize confusion.

Oh, and another nice feature of Heroic is that it will grab the Linux binary if it’s available somewhere even if that binary isn’t available on GoG. I was surprised that it grabbed the native client for Factorio instead of the windows version that’s on GoG.

They are. I have about the same success rate with Proton and WINE(via Heroic Launcher) as to when I still duel booted Windows. If you’re talking about games with rootkit anticheats, I never played those in Windows anyway.

Irrelevant. Tate doesn’t just want sex. He wants ownership of women and a cult following of sad, little men. He’s methods and motives are exactly the same as cult leaders.

Nah. Snow Leopard was peak UI and Mojave was the last tolerable version. I really need to make it a winter project to customize my desktop to have some of the UI elements that got lost in Mac.

Are you paying for content before it comes out?

…

Ok, so what are they? I think I bought a season pass for something ages ago and couldn’t figure out what it was for. I’m paying for something without knowing what it will be, right?

I’m just combining all this shit together and putting into pile called, Shit I Don’t Fuck With.

What exactly is a “battle pass” for fighting games and why should I trust major game studios?

How is a subscription for getting dlc content isn’t within the umbrella of Live Service? I buy a game and I own a game. Anything else is Live Service.

I don’t think you know what a Hackintosh is.
