To be fair, that was likely some first level support reacting to you trying something that is not supposed to work, as in not supported (playing on Linux).
How the strategy pans out after those talks we will see.

It is. I really like the direction of the steam deck. A PC that’s very open, but still is able to hide most complexity from users that don’t care for that.
They already are. Just shut off from unauthorized (read:your) grubby hands.
Yeah, was thinking about joining the room to see what is written. Not what was asked.
But your username and server will be seen and could potentially be noticed by someone you don’t want.
I disagree. There is nothing stopping that as it is. What this really does is remove one more level of control from the end user on their device.
That is exactly what I meant with that. Less control for you means more control for the banks/app creators.
I myself also want to let go of the likes of Google. It’s a pretty bumpy ride, but better than a future where the Tech Bros are in control.
Let’s hope we don’t have to.
Very good. I don’t like using apps for every little shitty website like discord or WebEx either.
Just know that this is a step forward in the direction of making it technically possible to force people to usw the app. Ask yourself if you trust them to not try and profit from this.
You do you
Oh! With “get around it” I meant cash, not outdated software.
I don’t know what you mean by that. Do you mean you rather use google pay?
So no banking apps for you? I agree that this is shit, but pretending we are not hit by this is not helping.
Also, I don’t really use banking apps anyway because they already pull similar shit and I can get around it. For now.
Also a already running server may need to forcibly be shut down. I only shut “screen” down and the “FactoryGame” kept running. I didn’t expect that at first so it took me a while to check.
Mhh, DNSv6 (name doesn’t make sense but everyone still knows exactly what is said. Like “pointing toe”.)
Nice, thank you for the writeup!
Am on the edge for the remarkable, but the pine note would be a definite buy. But I do know that the pine devices most often are tinkering devices. Don’t know if that is the case for the pine note, just saying.
Not an american, but bottling something up means more like keeping something inside oneself. Like a wish, or trauma.
This very much depends. Are there technical ways to restore this? Something like a jumper to make the flash storage writable. This would be possible with access to the firmware source code. So yeah, they can fix it themselves. Who is responsible? If the device is bricked after this: the company.
Build locked up products? Die.
Build in fuses? Better make those chips accessible by providing the plans to build them, otherwise refund your customers and die. Now everyone can build them, this won’t be a monopoly and everyone wins.
It doesn’t matter if they care about this. They are too dumb to do anything about it anyway. They still can get to take advantage of this. Most notable would be that stuff like “bank apps only through play/apple store” would be much harder to pull of.
They are welcome to do both. Immediately stop selling and after a X number of days allow refunds at the publishers expense.
