I don’t want to be a steam shill, but does the prevention of selling games cheaper (if this is true or effectively enforced) even do any good? I have over a thousand games on Steam, but I doubt I bought 10% of the games from them. Heck, the latest game I remember buying at release was Oblivion Remaster, and I got it from GMG because it was 17% cheaper on release day then on steam. This happens constantly.
If we are to objectively look at the problem, why would lifting this rule automatically mean games would be cheaper elsewhere? One of the biggest slogans in favor of Brexit was something along the lines: “of EU membership costing 350m pounds per week, we could spend it on the NHS instead”.
We are paying $70 for games because of Steam, we could be buying them for $55! That **could **there is holding the whole thing up. And its not even real. Its a word on paper. Effectively today; cheaper games than on steam are available, where steam gets a 0% cut and it stuck with the bill of hosting and delivering the game for free. This is the reality. Consumers arent the ones crying here.

If there is a fight worth fighting, it is the one to be able to transfer digital ownership of game licenses. This is a fight we can take to everyone including Steam. This would be an actual win for consumers. Not bickering about something that in the end wont effect any consumer anywhere. The above is a fight between publishers and distributors…

Loada of sites just dont work in FF.

Which ones? I want to see for myself what I’m missing out on.

In my mind, nothing with a circuit board is disposable. Pains me to see it.

Oh wow! Switzerland! How did you get so big!?

Oh man, I’ve thought about this many many times. I don’t know shit about real pinball tables so I had no idea if it were actually possible, but I leaned more towards probably not. The physics didn’t seem recreateable. I even thought about how I’d probably put a small vacuum pump for the gravity hole in the center!
I hope they succeed and I hope it feels as authentic as possible.

Jesus was loaded… typical carpenter.

This kinda kills the value proposition of a deck. Its a good machine, but struggles with high end titles. Were the performance or battery life better, I’d have overlooked the price but its still the same machine. A more powerful successor would fit this price point, not the original machine.

As long as alternatives or similar products exist at current prices, the deck will be a hard sell.

My use cases are:

• Connect from multiple devices on the same home network (with the application)
• Connect from a phone device on the internet (with the application)
• Connect from some PC’s and devices on the internet (with the application and from web browser)

For home networked devices, I don’t care about security that much. I try to lock it down on the router level and by using VLANs for less secure devices. I connect via IP directly (or .local domain).

Jellyfin runs under its own user with read access to a media library.

For devices on the internet, I have jellyfin exposed on a specific url path of my domain - through a reverse proxy all through 443. A bit of security through obscurity here. I’m proxied through cloudflare on the DNS side with very restrictive IP rules.
I think this is enough for the security flaws jellyfin does have. I’d sleep better at night if it had client certificate support, but Its not a big deal imo. If security flaws allowing remote code execution are found, I’ll shut it down and allow access through wireguard only and lose access from some devices on the internet where I cant use VPNs. Not a bit deal either.

I did and expected to find an image in the article. See, had I posted this on lemmy, I’d have posted an article closer to the source, with the photos. I assumed others would do the same. I assume too much, sorry.

Why no photo?
Seems like a photo of a pipe dislodging black sludge next to a photo of a tesla factory in a news page would instill a better sense of “evil corporation” to me.

I just wish the mobile app had an ability to display more than two bookmarks at a time without the need to scroll and click through menus to get to them. Desktop app has a bookmarks toolbar, the mobile equivalent sucks.

If they know how much I owe, why don’t they send me a bill?

The last time I read about this, it was said that they don’t actually know. They do statistical analysis and audit you if you are an outlier and didn’t pay what people in your similar position payed. I don’t know which metrics they look at though. Theoretically, this means if everyone decided to pay a fixed sum less, the data would work out and they wouldn’t know who didn’t pay enough. Don’t take my word for it though.

Totally recall…

Is it him?

Its not a weed if its useful. It may just be a little “unwanted at the moment”.

How useful is this in the grand scheme of things if the applications themselves don’t have a 10ft UI? I guess you’d need to limit yourself and find apps specifically made to be shown on a TV… within a repository that caters desktop apps. Blending TV’s and desktops is hard…

Weird they didn’t do this from the start.

Disregard that. I read something wrong… apparently it was about the store only and is old news.

I recently (a year ago) bought my first portable PS system, a Vita. Fantastic console, thriving ‘underground’ community. Just caught the tail end of all its online services working before they’ll be shut down this year.

Just a euphemism to get rid of the common denominator and if you have a desire to learn, you will be going beyond what the average person knows about computers. An immich server is not a particularly difficult thing to achieve. Think about hardware first, where it will run and where you want something running 24/7 (or not?). Then move to OS and software. Once you got it working locally, think about backups and how you will access it from the internet as your next steps.
If you are a “learn as you go” type, you already have a goal and that’s exactly what you need to start.
Sorry I’m being so abstract, but anything else and I’d just be giving you a guide lol.
