Even if it’s not directly related to piracy, he will try to censor the internet in ways that will harm your possibilities of consuming pirated content.

Get a vpn. From a country that doesn’t make part of the 14 eyes, with real no-logs policy and, if possible, that accepts cash, crypto or prepaid cards. Ditch windows too.

Been doing this for the last two years since i got my deck. I’m not really sure what are you doing differently but I have not changed my way of dealing with these installs singe the beginning.

I’m at work right now so i can’t take a pic, but I have an SD and an external drive for my steam deck. When I’m installing a repack through proton (or also a gog game through proton), it will let me pick my SD as the drive D and my ssd as drive E same way as if I were in windows. I can post a pic later today.

Shocking! The authenticator from the company which hoards all the data it can get from you and then more, hoards all the data it can get from you and then more!

Also: discover how the scientists discovered that every 60 minutes, an hour passes.

More news at 9.

It’s pretty straightforward. You just select the unit as you do in windows (as long as it is mounted).

I’ve been installing dodi, elamigos, fitgirl repacks for a while and still have to find one not working. Dunno what repacks are you installing.

I do it all the time. Just add it to steam as a non steam app and select the proton version you want to use. It will run just fine.

EDIT: If you need to install first, just add the installer as a non steam program, run it, install normally and then chang the path of the exe and the working folder to those of the installed game

I love how they gave a TL;DR right at the beginning of the article, it made me stay and read the rest out of respect for the author.

Google lives of the ads (among the things), of course a browser they develop is going to screw the add-ons that block ads. Solution: avoid google if you want an ad-free internet.

Edit: typo

Thanks for the reply. Makes everything easier to understand. I guess we’re going to see a boom in vpn subs in the next months thanks to soccer mafia.

Sounds to me that, in practice, rights holders will notify providers of suspected infringement, triggering their requirement to report to authorities, and it goes from there.

Yes. You are right. But if hypothethically my ip gets somehow reported, it could trigger this “awareness”. Can proton know what I’m browsing?

I do have as many too at work.

I use one VM for each iteration of my automation software. Our factory has machines ranging from the 90s to present day, and they use different software environments to be programmed. In order to minimize the risk of data loss, we have one virtual machine with every software environment, that way if one gets corrupted, the damage is contained. It also makes them easier to export to new computers when we need to replace ours.

If you turn off your deck being online and then turn it on again somewhere with no internet access, sometimes it will not get past the “looking for updates” screen before loading steam. I’ve had that happen more than enough times. Only way to exit from that loop is connecting to internet, but that’s not always possible.

I agree. But I’m not sure it’s possible to have enough tax auditors to combat something that is so prevalent in my country.

I do. But so what? Since they are small businesses we should let them evade taxes? Tax evasion is a problem, and I agree we should go against all those billionaires, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore the smaller evaders.

This is all perfect when you live in a responsible country where people pay their taxes. Instead, when you live in a place where paying your taxes is seen as something stupid, the less cash, the less space for tax evaders.

I loved it when COVID came and the government started giving all these businesses owners (bars, hairdressers, etc) a subside based on the profits they declared the year before COVID and they all went mad because they were getting 600€/month (which, ironically is the amount they declared to have earned monthly the year before COVID).

I can’t but agree. 3k is more than enough to pay even for home stuff. You can buy plenty of things under 3k in a single purchase. And if you’re willing to buy further than that, then I’m sorry but you’ll need to put society first. If you’re willing to buy full cash a house, I’m gonna think you’re money laundering and you can go fuck yourself.
