Good luck with privacy there. At minimum disable the AI stuff that has access to every app, and that's if you believe their toggles do anything, which Apple has been proven to not listen to them in the past

One might try KDE Connect, Local Send, and Signal which has a desktop client

We'll have to see if the general consumer is willing to pay full price. It seems likely as people generally just go along with things. If so then Nintendo will definitely keep prices high

That sounds plausible but I'm trying to focus on the positive here

Let's try and look at silver linings

What would be great is if price hikes cause people to purchase games that are worth it causing developers to release complete and feature rich games without further abysmal monetization strategies.

If the price never drops and a "must have exclusive" arrives you would purchase one? Why would you let that change your principle on the matter? It's just a game, probably overly priced too. Vote with your money. Let Nintendo know that it is too expensive for the average family.

Then setup shaders and overlays as it really steps up nostalgia: https://retrogamecorps.com/2024/09/01/guide-shaders-and-overlays-on-retro-handhelds/

A simple first step to helping oneself learn better ways to deal with this problem is to setup NextDNS on your router and use their Roku or similar content filters.

That'll make it so much easier to find a rom that'll work

On sale currently on GoG and without DRM

I appreciate the link and heads up

No worries, thanks for trying to explain it

Do you care to share what special type of lock you use?

DRM or not this is straight from Steam, you don't own what you "purchase". This isn't consumer friendly:

Steam Subscriber Agreement

1. REGISTRATION AS A SUBSCRIBER; APPLICATION OF TERMS TO YOU; YOUR ACCOUNT, ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENTS

B. Hardware, Subscriptions; Content and Services

Valve or third-party video games and in-game content, software associated with Hardware and any virtual items you trade, sell or purchase in a Steam Subscription Marketplace are referred to in this Agreement as "Content and Services;"

2. Licenses

A. General Content and Services License

"The Content and Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Content and Services."

I would like to learn more about DRM on GoG if you wouldn't mind sharing.

Please publish to GoG as well. I want to support sites that are DRM free. Also I think it's smart to give native Linux support to show the industry that Linux is important rather than rely on compatibility tools that may or may not work well for any given game or setup.

I've been following this for some time and am excited to see it's progressing well

Use alternative ways of streaming content such as Kodi or Stremio with a debrid service that costs $17/6mo

Be prepared for your router to not work until you figure out how to set stuff up. So hopefully this isn't your only router. I converted a router to OpenWRT and my knowledge of networking was super basic. It was very confusing but I did get it working in a few days. However, I couldn't get some things working like a VPN or updating without wiping all my settings. OpenWRT is router firmware, not NAS software. You'll need to run something like CasaOS, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, etc for that.

This website is a great starting point for router configurations: https://routersecurity.org/#StartHere
