A good third of the pubs are missing in my town tbh and they're definitely still open.

This is the shittest website I have ever seen in my life.

I'm capped on the amount of money I can transfer out of my RBS app unless I send RBS a recording of my face and voice. Why the hell can't I opt out of dystopian "security" measures and accept the risk?

I opened my browser on the same device and transfered it that way. So much for "security".

I've tried lutris and bottles and stuck with bottles.

My experience with getting battle.net on lutris was miserable. After staring at the UI trying to add battle.net I was informed to go to a site, pull back a script on there and I had no indication of what it was doing to my machine.

However, bottles ships with scripts to set it up for you. I created a bottle in the location I wanted, installed battle.net and logged in and it worked.

Its not without problems, if I accidentally start battle.net twice, my CPU utilisation shoots up to 100% and is stuck there until I kill the bogus bottles process.

There's also a problem of the battle.net bottle bricking itself completely (I have to move the game files out, delete all bottles configs and recreate the bottle) if I change the runner.

Whether these issues are bottles fault or not I can't say.

But concept of what a 'bottle' is is easy to understand. The configuration is very rich and works well. I pick a pick a directory, pick a runner, install what I want, enable mangohud and I'm golden.

Which WD drives specifically were misleading customers?

It's fine to have 'Synology supported drives' which guarantee compatability, but requiring them is absolute bollocks.

I really wish developers on consoles would just accept what kind of performance consoles really offer. There isn't a single reason a game should be 30fps these days if that game tests your motor skills in any way. If you can't hit a locked 60fps target, you need to reassess your visuals.

Hearing that 2/3 PS users are switching to 60fps, away from a default of 30fps is really interesting. You can have the best screenshots in the world, but if your game doesn't run well people can tell.

Nord Meshnet, ZeroTier, Cloudflare Tunnels.

Instead of exposing your applications externally, you create a private network that uses UDP hole punching.

This isn't completely self-hosted, as you need some server to auth / broadcast connection details with. Self-hosting might be possible on ZeroTier, but I'm not familiar enough to say for sure.

> Why do you keep reinstalling Fedora

Because it's a partition I use to test Linux and rather than upgrade I'd rather start over from scratch.

As for the distro choice, Fedora is ahead of Ubuntu but not as bleeding edge as Arch.

I'm sure there's plenty arguments for using x distro over y. Fedora is just what I landed on.

> why use Windows at all?

I wish I had the same optimism. I have a Fedora partition that gets wiped and reinstalled every release and there's always some showstopper or things are slightly worse that make me unable to commit. I'm not settling for 'slightly worse'. The display server situation on Linux is depressing.

I don't like were Microsoft is heading, but it's way too early to claim Windows is dead.

Ironwail can download some popular add-ons in game. Not as robust as injector, but is extremely accessible.

Easy setup:

1) Download and unpack ironwail (best engine).

2) Copy id1/ (from your official Quake install directory) to your ironwail directory

3) Launch ironwail

Adding and launching a mod:

1) Unpack the mod into your ironwail directory

2) Launch ironwail

3) select the add-on

If you have quake on steam, ironwail will automatically detect it.

If you want to directly launch into a mod you can create a shortcut or use command-line parameters.

I don't think he's saying it requires elevated privileges. When binaries aren't signed Windows will throw up a warning that it isn't signed which makes users hesitant to install.

Condescending AND wrong. A two-fer!

There isn't a single person on this planet that has a good voice activated mic setup unfortunately.

I use push to talk because I'm considerate.

Keep your mic muted if this is a concern.

Discord makes it clear when you're in a call.

I simply do not believe in adding friction because of bad users.

Any design which removes friction in an application gets my blessing. Having to long press and confirm or approve some benign action is super frustrating. Is accidentally joining a call really that bad? "Whoops" *Drop call*

Yeah, spack(er) is really up there for an insult. You really have to be extremely vitriolic to call someone a spack.
