Going a bit old-school with this one, but unmoderated DALnet. It used to be the wild West, with everything at your fingertips.

Praying the disc loads. That second screen only shows if it’s successful.

Yep, same. Works fine for me, I never wanted the features that disables.

I got an LG because despite how it looks, you can just refuse to agree to a bunch of their privacy agreements and be fine. It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better than it would be otherwise, and miles ahead of Samsung’s lack of options.

Battleye is, but they didn’t enable it for Linux. Literally a switch, and they failed to do so.

Probably a few Linux/Steam Deck players pissed that Rockstar just nuked their ability to play without warning or reason as well.

Sounds like good ideas that’ll be a pain in the ass for innocent power users.

sudo shutdown -r now

The problem is fixable in microcode -if- it hasn’t already caused damage to the CPU. Most CPUs are fucked.

It also is written vaguely enough to justify attempts to block VPN access and other forms of anonymous media consumption. Basically under the guise that an anonymous user -could- be a child, so they need to be deanonymized and tracked.

USB 3.x actually does produce 2.4GHz interference, which could cause stuttering if you use Bluetooth and your adapter is too close to the USB port/hub or a USB 3 device. Shielding for USB 3 devices and cables does matter, and lack of shielding is part of why Chinese devices from Amazon (or worse, Temu/AliExpress) are so cheap. That’s about as crazy as it gets though, sorry.

While I agree with you, Gatorade released a Pedialyte competitor called Gatorlyte recently. Similar benefits but half the price. I’d recommend that (or a similarly cheap option if another exists) to keep from breaking the bank.

I’d eat those, but the proximity to cocaine is a bit concerning.

Maybe those five hour energy and similar shots? That’s all I can come up with though.

As someone with a shrimp allergy, I have to be careful with my coffee too. Certain regions, such as Colombia, are notorious for high cockroach content in their coffee.

No thank you.

There’s a profanity filter?

You mean the ability to understand and respect the word “No”?
