I can’t answer the first two, but for the third question:

Yes, there’s a Proton default. If you go into a game’s settings page, you can choose to either leave it at the default or override it.

Proton is in active development, so it changes over time. That means the default setting might be good, but not optimal.

My main gaming computer runs Linux, so I’ve dealt with this. It’s not something I usually touch. I think the only time I’ve had issues is when I’m running a non-Steam game through Steam.

It means at least one Google engineer is full of shit.

Wut

You can do anything on Linux, as long as you figure out a way to do it.

Now we all know your password is ••••••••

They already did:

• Xbox (1)
• Xbox 360 (=1)
• Xbox One

They are done with “one.”

Now they’re on:

• Xbox Series
• Xbox Plenty
• Xbox Loads

Many Switch 2 carts include just the license, no game data. So, assume you can’t play Switch 2 without downloads.

Can you really call it a bombshell when they’re doing it out in the open? And everybody can see they are doing it? And they are in no way trying to hide it or justify their actions?

You don’t need to argue. You just need to accept that every time you do that you put your life, and the lives of the people around you, in danger. And that’s simply a fact.

I have to laugh at the guide calling itself “complete.”

Yes, it’s got a lot of useful info. Yes, someone reading it can learn a lot about what to do with older computers and what to expect from distros.

But there is so much more that the guide doesn’t cover, haha

Yeah, that’s exactly it. It doesn’t seem bad. It just seems out of place based on the price point and clientele.

It is when they work in intelligence and someone can find out and kidnap or kill their family to threaten them.

Use a portion of the shareholders’ own wealth to fund it. There will still be plenty left to provide food and shelter for the rest of humanity.

Yeah, but normally the MDM is used to prevent security breaches. Not create them.

You’re missing the point. This app is written by outside, for-profit companies who don’t care about data security. And the app is so full of security holes that it means work email and work chat may be skimmed by people outside the organization.

This isn’t a case of “don’t use your work phone for personal stuff.”

This is a case of e.g. “foreign criminal organizations can potentially steal American Social Security databases.”

The problem is that it’s at the office in the first place.

It creates a massive hole in IT security and allows attack vectors to get into government networks and files.

It’s like driving your brand new car into a busy part of town, leaving the keys in the ignition, leaving the door open, and stepping away for hours. And then doing it again the next day, and the day after that, even after each car has been stolen.

I might consider agreeing with you, except the app is full of third-party spyware and for-profit tracking software that’s operated by foreign companies.

Shareholders need to be rounded up and thrown into the sun.

It’s great when people make it easy to know to block them.

I know it’s actually terminal, but I can’t help call it console after years of Quake and other games.
