Huh, this has never happened to me while gaming with a controller.

I switched to Linux, so obviously I don’t either.

I appreciate the thorough response and the attempt to help, truly I do. But I feel like it’s kind of missed the point a bit.

I actually run a home server, have written some scripts here and there for the server (particularly backup scripts), use VMs and have figured out pass through; my point is that I’m not completely clueless here, while still not exactly being a power user. Even though I’ve done that stuff, and have that knowledge, it’s not a fun user experience for me. When I open my Bluetooth settings, I want it to just work. I don’t want to have to dig into the terminal and troubleshoot stuff.

Windows sucks for a lot of reasons, but I at least, personally, never had issues with Bluetooth or HDR.

I cannot for the life of me get HDR working consistently across games on my CachyOS rig. So I would say true. I also find Bluetooth is my biggest pain point for now. I seem to only be able to connect to stuff from the command line. Some Linux hardcores here might roll their eyes at that complaint, but I’m not afraid to admit that I prefer a GUI.

It’s funny. I also was very hesitant to make the jump from Windows, but finally did in 2025. I was dual booting for a while until I realized I hadn’t been into the Windows one in months because it was a pain in the ass for various reasons. So I just got rid of it.

I’ve made peace with the fact that I won’t be able to play certain games. Their loss; there’s plenty of other games to buy with my money.

Neat, TIL.

Who?

For a layman, how might one deduce if they were affected? I cannot really tell from the article if this was particularly widespread.

Fixed Agatha Christie: Evil Under the Sun not being playable in French.

Sacre bleu!

Largely privacy, data ownership, performance, and a general shift towards foss and self hosting.

I mean, Crucial is just the name that Micron puts on the memory they want to sell to consumers. So this story is basically just, “Micron no longer wants to sell to consumers”.

Not even a mention of Clocktower.

First aid procedures.

I didn’t think I’d care enough to leave Windows but I’ve been on Linux for six? months now.

Docmost?

I had a two bay Synology device for many years before I upgraded to a home lab. I liked it quite a bit as a beginner. The interface was easy to use, dead simple to set up the basics, and it had some advanced capability for those curious.

I’d strongly recommend a “plus” model. They are usually only slightly more expensive than their non-plus counterpart for a fairly significant upgrade.

With qbittorrent, you can just set it to do this. Tell it to only use the VPN interface.

It’s okay to not know. The real test of your character comes from what you do after you learn about it.

Isn’t that a pretty racist term?

I mean, that’s probably strictly true.
