Yeah. It’s a betrayal of trust in my eyes. They were the first company to get a genuine “plug-and-play” experience to 3D printing. They amassed a huge user base, then acted against those users’ rights. There’s no way in hell they win the lawsuit against them, so at least the people who have already bought printers from them should still be able to use them. But I would avoid Bambu like the plague from here on.

The main issue is that, once you have enough value in stock, you can take loans out against it, thus extracting the value of the stock without actually having to sell the stock.

This isn’t the case here. Their printers are some of the best out there. Their cost is high but not unreasonably so for what you get. The company, on the other hand, is garbage. They’re breaking the law and doubling down saying they’ve done nothing wrong. People are pissed off about that, not their products.

Same. The devs get big bonuses if the game is successful, so I bought the game. If the publisher won his lawsuit, I would have pirated it. If they ever take the game away, I’ll pirate a copy. Obviously I’m emotionally invested in the devs getting what’s rightfully theirs, but I also don’t see an issue with piracy of big name games in the modern age of gaming. But please buy indie games if you can afford to, they are the only ones keeping gaming alive right now

I’m not entirely familiar with the process, but I think Goldberg uses steam architecture, but replaces calls to steam servers with locally emulated ones. And I think Steamless emulates the DRM check locally, to spoof the call to steam servers. Neither tool requires internet or active steam servers to run. If the internet disappeared tomorrow, as long as I had my game library downloaded, and the latest version of those two tools installed, I could play all my games forever. Of course, I still prefer to buy my games as physical copies or offline installers from GoG, but you kinda have to go where the games are.

You aren’t wrong, that’s why I use Goldberg/steamless to keep my library of steam games safe, even if steam shits the bed

I don’t use the internet for much these days, but I am on graphine OS and I have yet to be blocked from websites due to it. My adblocker prevents me from some, and not allowing javascript prevents me from some, but I’ve never seen that QR code or had any site prompt fro Google play services

I set aside time to buy it as soon as they were available. I had two other friends doing the same. We each bought 2 controllers. I’m certain there are bot purchases, but I think there are more real people than you’d think

I got on right at the listed launch time, spammed continue for ~20 minutes, and got my order of 2 controllers through. Had a buddy who tried the exact same, spammed continue for 50 minutes, and ended up getting hit with “out of stock.” It was really luck of the draw.

Everyone here hates you

The internet would be a better place if you weren’t here

Hard to imagine a shittier thing someone could do in a comic thread

Other than first-party Nintendo games, I do all my gaming on Linux

Seems unnecessarily long

Don’t change now if you don’t have an issues in my opinion. However, if you have the space for the jellyfin backup, it should be a pretty simple transition. I always prefer deploying using docker compose for all my services, I have backups of the compose files, and it handles all the networking between all the services (VPN, *arr stack, qbt, seer, jellyfin) When I had to move off of my ancient server after it kicked the bucket, it was as simple as copying my compose files, a single docker deployment per stack, and loading the backups for specific services. I’ve not had any issues with Jellyfin on docker, but I am using GPU passthrough to allow for hardware accelerated transcoding.

I was as well. Put off buying it for years, as I am the patient gamer who waits for deals. I caved after playing Satisfactory and still having the itch to build factories

I think it’s cute, but I cannot agree with selective breeding for defects, so I would never own one

Apple

This is how I do it. As soon as I sit down, it’s over. Really annoying when I am working with friends/family who always want to take a lunch break, because they insist I join them and I lose all my steam if I do.

Yeah, I was going to say that this is the bare minimum of public decency, if you don’t think this is normal behavior you are a plague on this earth.
