Kernel level anticheat. There’s very effective anticheat that is not kernel level and therefore works fine on Linux.

Sure.
Just pointing out that one word sentences can, and do convey meaning. Often lots of meaning.
I glommed onto that like too, but ignored it and chose not to be a dickhead. Just saying.

I’ve heard that lobotomy patients only seem happy, and may be trapped in a private hell.
Least now things in your life seem bleak and immutable, but you’ve still got the ability to change things around you and yourself.
Depression is tough, and I’m sorry I can’t do more than say:Hey, that fucking sucks that you’re hurting, I know what my pain is like, not sure if it’s similar to yours, but I feel you buddy. Hope things get better soon.

HA! MAY CAR IS WAAAAAAAY NEWER THAN YOURS!
…2006.
When I bought it, it had an even cheaper android stereo in it. When I was looking for a interim replacement before I spent over £100, I found the one that was installed when I bought it…for £12.
Ended up with an ~£80 deck that came with a half decent reverse camera, which was almost the only requirement for me other than Bluetooth.
I honestly kinda wish it had come with a tape deck, being on the edge of old I still have a bunch of tapes. Used to have a load of CDRs, but rot got them. 🤷
I have about 60Gb of music on my phone, I’ll occasionally switch some of it out for new stuff. I had Google Play Music back in what is now considered “The Day” and now I pretty much refuse to use any streaming service. - Comment on Anon listens to the radio 3 months ago:
And this is part of why I don’t listen to the radio while I drive. The other part is because I bought a cheap android stereo and I couldn’t be fucked to buy the adapter to hook my antenna up to the stereo.
I guess being lazy is saving me from early morning drive radio jump-scares. - Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 3 months ago:
TBF, I absolutely should have used them, but I was cooking for 25 people, and honestly totally forgot about them. I was rushing about with the BBQ, into the kitchen switching out cooked pizza for uncooked and trying to catch a sip of beer in between all that… As a result the salmon came out amazing, slow smoked at 60° for 3 hours because I totally forgot about it until the wife would occasionally say: the smoker’s not smoking!

I’ve got a Bluetooth temp probe set. They work a treat. And I totally forgot to even use them when I got smoked a salmon and chicken wings for Canada Day.

I DID grow up with Nintendo. The first gaming thing that wasn’t a DOS computer with asteroids and commander keen on it was a NES. Then an SNES. Then an N64. A few months after the N64 we got a Sega Genesis, and a PS1.
All that said?
…fuck Nintendo. Switch 1 games play at a higher resolution and better frame rate ON MY PHONE. I refused to buy a switch, and there’s no chance in hell I’ll get a switch 2. The fact that they say if they “detect” cheating or that your S2 is jailbroken they reserve the right, and built in the ability to, brick your device. Fuck them, get fucked, no fucking chance they’re getting a single cent, pence, fucking whatever out of me. Fuck yourselves well and truly to fuck! 👍🖕👍
Rant over 🥰

If we’re putting the SteamDeck against Nintendo, I’d say the natural comparison is Steam exclusives against Nintendo exclusives.
I disagree. It would be more accurate to say:
If we’re putting the Steam Deck against the Switch 2, the natural comparison is between Switch 1/2 compatible games, without jailbreak, versus any game that works on the Steam Deck hardware be it Linux Native, with wine/Proton and any emulator that runs games minimum original frame rate with minimal issues.
Bear in mind that the Steam Deck is a handheld Linux computer, and anything that will run on the level of hardware it has and plays nicely with Linux will run on the Steam Deck.
Even just with only installing Steam on the Deck, as of mid-May there is 18k Deck Verified games.
- Comment on Zero-click AI data leak flaw uncovered in Microsoft 365 Copilot 4 months ago:
Though fixed and never maliciously exploited, EchoLeak holds significance for demonstrating a new class of vulnerabilities called ‘LLM Scope Violation,’ which causes a large language model (LLM) to leak privileged internal data without user intent or interaction.
As the attack requires no interaction with the victim, it can be automated to perform silent data exfiltration in enterprise environments, highlighting how dangerous these flaws can be when deployed against AI-integrated systems.
How EchoLeak works
The attack begins with a malicious email sent to the target, containing text unrelated to Copilot and formatted to look like a typical business document.
The email embeds a hidden prompt injection crafted to instruct the LLM to extract and exfiltrate sensitive internal data.
Because the prompt is phrased like a normal message to a human, it bypasses Microsoft’s XPIA (cross-prompt injection attack) classifier protections.
Later, when the user asks Copilot a related business question, the email is retrieved into the LLM’s prompt context by the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) engine due to its formatting and apparent relevance.
The malicious injection, now reaching the LLM, “tricks” it into pulling sensitive internal data and inserting it into a crafted link or image.
Aim Labs found that some markdown image formats cause the browser to request the image, which sends the URL automatically, including the embedded data, to the attacker’s server.

I definitely would with Garuda. Like I said, they’ve removed basically all of the pain points of arch. I set my 70yr old dad up with Garuda, he’s been using MacOS mostly and windows for work for ages. The only thing I had to show him was how to open a terminal and type “sudo update” every few weeks. Everything else is as intuitive as any other Linux distro.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Do it.
I would highly recommend Garuda Arch, takes the pain points out of Arch, more flavours than you can shake a stick at, forums are highly active with devs and mods responding quickly to issue posts.

Takes away most of the rough parts of running Arch, and comes in more flavours than you can shake a stick at. The forums are highly active, and Devs/admins/mods are very quick to respond to question/issue posts.
