PC handhelds are nowhere near switch + switch 2, 3.5M units almost equal total number of Steam Decks sold since its launch in 2022.

Does the app check for strongest variany of Safetynet / Play Integrity?

FF 138 has HDR support https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1jp6njd/hdr_in_firefox_now_works/

Run a browser on wine, they are likely detecting from widevine itself. Or try this tutorial: https://thebrokenrail.com/2022/12/31/xfinity-stream-on-linux.html

My plan is exclusive to carrier’s data only SIMs, the SIM card has a phone number but cannot receive calls. I don’t think I can call even emergency services. Using a 2nd SIM with no plan to receive calls and the outgoing calls are always over WhatsApp. The point is if you look for data only SIMs you may find cheaper plans.

Is the phone carrier locked? Can you install a carrier neutral stock ROM?

What is your carrier? We don’t have unlimited data here, I pay 9 USD per 6 months for total 50 GB, no calls, no SMS.

Correct me if I am wrong: If you use steam console to download an old version of the game, regardless of currently installed version, steam downloads the whole game. Let’s say I was on v2.1, the game received an update v2.2 and I downloaded it normally through Steam, this downloads only the difference between 2.1 and 2.2. Let’s say I have 2.2, the game doesn’t use the “betas” feature and I want to downgrade the game. Steam ignores the current 2.2 install and downloads 2.1 in its entirety.

I don’t have gigabit network or a lot of disk space.

This downloads the whole game. He hardest would be waiting for download to finish for me.

This needs to be the top comment. Yes, you can use it on both Windows, Mac and Linux.

Hearts of Iron IV

Imagine a game having higher privileges than what you get with “Run as administrator”

If kernel level AC is a concern, you can play the game on Linux where “kernel” level AC runs at user level thru Wine

EAC installation process includes “registration” of a game, and the uninstall process “unregisters” the game. If all games using EAC are uninstalled, EAC itself also should be uninstalled.

Yes he said he made an alt but I think his main is still active? Not sure.

He’s still on Reddit

CalyxOS patches Chromium for security, you may use CalyxOS builtin browser

Heroic is decent imo. It lets you download Wine, manage prefixes, enable/disable dxvk/vkd3d, configure gamescope & mangohud and so on.

Let me elaborate. I have spent quite a lot of time providing voluntary tech support on Reddit and forums. In both of them you will see people having a blast & praising the community, and people pulling their hair due to frustrating issues right next to each other. Having the same OS or distro does not guarantee the same experience. People have different hardware, run different software and play different games. Also, choices regarding compat layers can make a difference, for example someone forces Proton Experimental on all games and it works out, while sb else uses Proton stable and it doesn’t work. Or the other way around. Oh, also don’t get me started on my Linux experience, it’s a roller coaster.

Here is this giant enemy crab

Dualsense and DS4 have official drivers from Sony

You install the same OS, you get the same experience.

If only…

Roblox is not a game, it is a game platform where users make games. Roblox games, especially ones that are mildly popular at 500-5k active players usually have reasonable monetization and no gacha. Some have lootboxes.

Seriously why does a PS4 sound like a jet engine even when no game is loaded?

You can do an SSD upgrade to reduce load times.

Tell us some obscure mods

Disable cellular data. With low usage I can easily go above 3 days.

FYI, Instagram was blocked in Turkey a few days before Roblox ban. Both are still blocked.

“We have doubled the amount of Apex Coins” which people used to buy battle pass. Now you can’t. 🤦‍♂️

Try using their website instead of launcher

That is because DLCs add a lot of value to Paradox games (excluding recent controversies) so people wait then grab all DLC in a bundle discount.

Install from computer: adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block FILENAME.apk https://liliputing.com/how-to-install-old-apps-on-android-14/

My recent interest in rooting is purely because I have some foss apps that require root for me to use the full capabilities that I want.

Example? I personally just deleted unnecessary apps with adb and went on. Google Play services are still running but that is really it. After rooting getting updates will be difficult so you will want a custom ROM. Decide if that is what you want to do.

1. You need S23 series phone AND need to be in one of the specific regions. More phones will be added later.
2. Use Samsung Members app to opt in to beta
3. Do a software update like how you normally would. https://developer.samsung.com/one-ui-beta

Pulling down from top right corner to show the full quick actions menu. Now I need to swipe down twice to see all options, with this update only once. I will actually install the beta solely for this feature.

Firefox with Ublock Origin + YT Playback Fix extensions. I don’t regularly watch YT or follow people so this is sufficient for me.

I am interpreting “worth paying” as “immensely useful” because I don’t recall paying for an app, ever.

• Aurora Store: Basically Play Store but you don’t need to sell your soul to Google. You can log in to Google account while staying signed out on Android or use “anonymous account” function.
• KDE Connect: File transfer, phone notifications on PC, stops video/audio on PC when you answer a call and many other features. Right clicking a file on my Linux PC and then clicking “Send to Phone via KDE Connect” is so satisfying.
• Samsung Notes: No non-sense PDF reader and annotator. It did not appear when I searched for Android PDF readers on the Internet and its name doesn’t imply that function making it sort-of a hidden gem. Maybe there are better apps I couldn’t find, though.

I don’t think you can get OTA if you root a Samsung. EDIT: You can get OTA except that it isn’t actual OTA but manual, the process is a bit involved.

I did a debloat on my Samsung and applied a patch, I didn’t see anything come back. I can give better info if I decide to install the beta which isn’t available yet.
