You mean the Lone Echo series and Echo VR? Yeah I thoroughly enjoyed those games, but those were released so long ago. Definitely up there with HL: Alyx for me though.

This is what happens when you stop focusing on building immersive VR gaming experiences and go towards mobile quality graphics and stupid metaverse / workplace productivity improvements. When will these companies ever learn to focus on the games? Sony learned it with the PS3, MS with the Xbone, and now Meta.

I am a VR fanatic but even I won't buy a Quest 3 because there's just no quality VR games that make me want to upgrade. The fact that no game has yet matched Half-Life: Alyx in terms of immersiveness is just sad.

Omg I thought I was the only one who hated the arms. Nothing worse than putting down your controllers on the table and then having those stupid arms spaz out around your screen as it tries to resolve how your hand could possibly be in that position.

I totally agree. Each firmware upgrade has just made my Quest 2 worse and worse.

you need to change ISP.

You say that like its easy. It usually isn't.

It usually isn't too hard to insert your own router into your network setup. You might have to battle with ISP support a bit though, but a ton support either Bridge Mode or IP Passthrough.

It depends. Sure, maybe somewhat redundant for a home desktop that just stays at home on a network you control, but for a laptop it is absolutely essential.

You may also want a firewall to defend against other devices within your local network. Let's say you have IoT devices, many of which are poorly secured and maintained by their manufacturers, or you live with family members or guests who don't practice or even know about proper computing hygiene and are bringing in devices onto your local WiFi.

It is seriously a game changer. It really makes derivative Arch distros much less necessary.

Is it safe to run this without a VPN if I am just using it to index?

Thanks! Not just for notifying about the fix but also showing me where package revisions are built from! I just love the transparency of Arch.

Just got some glibc updates in Arch yesterday. I wonder if they contain fixes for this.

It’s always memory management

No wonder everyone's crazy about Rust.

Did clearing the Proton prefixes work?

I would say, try backing up your saves and deleting the proton prefix from both devices. Recreate them and then try again. Hopefully that will reset things. I will say that Cyberpunk saves have been transferring over fine for me, so could just be that something glitched up and you just need to wipe and reset.

How can you tell it's a symlink?

If you're in the command line, typing ls -la will show links using an arrow -> notation. If you're in a desktop environment, the file manager should tell you by showing a small link icon in the bottom left or right corner of the file icon.

It should also say that its a symlink in the status bar when you hover over the file.

~/.steam/steam is just a symlink to ~/.local/share/Steam so that's okay. However, what's weird is that the Steam Deck directory path doesn't include the app id. Is this actually where its stored or did you make a typo?

Using syncthing feels like a cludgy solution IMHO. Better to figure out what's wrong with Steam Cloud saves in the first place. Out of curiosity, what filesystem are your game saves on?

Let 'em fight and bring each other down a notch, I say.

or a mocking approach that uses the term ironically to show the shortcomings of the idea. PCMR has always meant, since it’s inception, the latter.

The problem with this approach is that new people or people out of the loop don't really understand this idea. I am not saying you're wrong about the inception of the name, but as the term gets older, that context will get more and more lost. You already see people legitimately using PCMR as a term to indicate superiority.

The origin of a term is one thing, but its meaning often changes over the years, and I think the same thing is happening with PCMR.

Same issue here. The auto dark mode detection is broken with the new update it would seem. You can force light mode by going into Settings -> Theme and change it to litely

You make a search and then you start clicking through the websites in the results. A lot of browsers also do link prefetching, so even just the fact that you open search results will reveal info about the query because your browser might preemptively resolve DNS for result items.

And likely the OS has the search engine in the DNS cache so each search doesn’t require a DNS query.

Cache doesn't matter, you still have to build up the cache in the first place which will make DNS calls out. The TTL for DNS cache entires is usually pretty short as well at around 5 minutes, so even if you have a cache, your computer will still make DNS calls out periodically at quite a frequent rate. My point is that HTTPS doesn't prevent third parties from snooping on your browsing habits because it does nothing to hide your DNS queries.

And all Chromebooks as well.
