At least the floppy fits in a standard envelope ( as long ad we’re talking about the 3.5" )

We do this to find criminals, drugsdealers, paedophiles and terrorists. MEPS are never part of any of those groups.

Rules for thee and not for me.

Well. Now seems to be a good time to be ashamed to be Belgian.

Shameful politicians :(

Windows: does something privacy invading bad

Google: why didn’t I think of that? Hold my beer

I wish I could actually vote for the pirate party. But I can’t here. Didn’t show up in the election list. They were 2 or elections ago

Huh. Interesting. I’ll give that a try too then :)

Tbh it was kind of my fault. I should’ve used the general updater that comes with nobara by default.

Edit: the devpod issue is a bit weird and not driver related. Its got something to do with SSL when its trying to clone the git repo. But I can run the clone command myself just fine. Honestly the devcontainer hasnt really worked out great for me in combination with jetbrains.

It might work better with vscode, but that editor makes me want to throw my device out the window. All the love to people who use it/enjoy it on a daily basis but it is just not for me.

I ended up with nobara. I might give bazzite a go at one point, but more out of interest. Nobara is treating me just fine!

I ended up with nobara ( KDE ). Though if i had to reinstall I might give bazzite a go.

No hate for nobara though. It’s working fine gaming wise. Had a gfx issue once after an update, which was resolved by just running the nobara system updater.

I have some issues getting devpods to work. But that is completely unrelated to gaming :D

When i see stuff like that I want to buy it. And then I remember I’m not a graphic designer. And unfortunately I’m terrible at any type of layouting or drawing. Be it webdesign or otherwise.

It looks like a great tool though. And very fairly priced.

Here’s a License change which implies we’re datafarming all your assets.

Here’s my word that we’re absolutely not goijf to be doing that. Trust me bro.

I had dabbled in gaming on Linux but never made the jump. After reading about recall I spent a week making my choice on OS of choice ( and then I switched a week after :') ).

I’m fully on Linux now. Even if they fully back down from windows recall I dont need an OS that’s trying to sell me something based on whatever I do in it.

It was my final straw as well.

Edit: and it hasn’t really been bad either. The shader compilation after every gfx driver update is a bit annoying. That’s about it.

I’ll probably run into something at one point. Like some anti cheat that doesn’t work and is preventing me from playing the game.

And fucking fine them to infinity for it. Why would they not do something like this again if all they have to do is say “my bad bro”.

I mean my Asus router models aren’t supported by merlin. Only 1 of them functions as an actual router.

But that’s the point. You, the 15 year old, never click or see the box. Your data is harvested because somebody somewhere else agreed to it.

It’s like giving any website the right to farm your data because somebody else on the same shared IP clicked accept all.

I’m also totally okay not having to send any identity data over the net. I fully agree there. It’s just their standpoint of “let an admin click it and we can farm everybody’s data behind that device” seems like a very unstable legal standpoint.

Then again. I’m not a lawyer and the law doesn’t work based on how lawful i feel something is or should be.

I’d rather update it as well. But the routers are behind my ISP router and aren’t externally accessible. The attack surface is smaller in that regard. I’m not happy with the thought of an unpatched router. Maybe I can hold out long enough for merlin to support my routers.

I dont think the latest few updates I did mentioned any security updates. Only bugfixes.

I’ll tackle the problem when it presents itself I guess.

Routers aren’t supported by merlin unfortunately :(

Is the train of thought that if the adult approves they can harvest data from minors regardless? It harvests data from anybody using the internet, not just person handling the settings. It doesn’t seem legal that the data harvest agreement binds all users in a household rather than the one managing the settings?

Is that legal in Europe? is it legal to suddenly semi brick a device if you dont allow them to data harvest? Is it really considered giving consent freely when the device you paid $$ for suddenly no longer does 90% because you disagree with sudden data harvest practices?

I can understand a feature not working because you disagree on sharing something. E.g: can’t tell you which pizza place is near you if you dont share your location.

But this? I hope it’s illegal and they get sued into oblivion for this. This is super invasive.

Same :(

I guess I’m not updating my routers anymore then. Sucks though. It seemed to be the only Asus product that wasn’t garbage.
