Might want to post it as a video link and not just a text link

Well if you don’t understand how to make the “ideal thing” work properly, it sounds like you need whatever the fuck works, no?

It’s a solution. Use it.

You can still get GL.inet routers even on Amazon as of right now, and they’re on sale (for obvious reasons).

There’s the OpenWRT One router that is basically just a Banana Pi board.

There’s lots. Just search around.

Try this: https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-do-i-calibrate-my-game-controller-in-kde-6/36299/4

What distro are you on? Make sure the kcm-joystick package is installed for KDE.

Change your time servers or add more to the load balanced con, and make sure you don’t have a block on your network for those hosts. You can also set the timeout for that particular service to something shorter so it doesn’t hang, or remove deps that rely on it from the service files.

YUP. I’ve deployed hundreds of these. They make good hardware, their developers and hardware engineers are quick to respond to customers, and they just make a good product. They even share their board designs, because why not?

Sucks they’re going to be caught in the crossfire here.

This is a good time to remind everyone to avoid any of the major manufacturers. Get pre-built OPEN boxes and install OpenWRT. You performance and capabilities will beat the shit out of any of the other stuff anyway.

Sadly, there were a few great foreign-made manufacturers who had great hardware for this. Technically they aren’t “network routers” and just blank hardware, so probably don’t fall into the idiotic language put forth here.

What’s the exact error it’s giving?

This man went from high to low REAL fast.

Start VPN, then launch game. I have no idea how this is complicated at all…

Well…yeah. That’s their bread and butter.

Didn’t that as a requirement, but sure you can. They have profiles for each location you want to use, so import the ones you want, set the client all as a non-Steam game, then just connect whatever locale you want. Works fine.

Literally nothing. It has nothing to do with Linux.

They won’t make their CAC© checks be always online because they know they’ll lose sales. The reality is that more people will not buy always online games than have the will and know-how to find cracked versions. The segmentation of the general market is just much smaller.

So I don’t think anything will happen here.

Platform doesn’t matter. It’s a simple OpenVPN profile. There’s nothing about Deck that makes this unusable.

Worst mobile app on the planet with SO many bugs, but dammit if they aren’t a clean platform otherwise.

You’re shooting down good suggestions here, so I’m not sure if you don’t fully understand the problem, or are asking for the moon.

Are you wanting to send SMS from a specific device and SIM, or just ANY kind of SMS?

SMS is controlled from your provider. If you want to send from said provider, you need a device or app that can access their network. T-Mobile has a browser-based interface for this, and I think Mint does as well. Otherwise you need to get an SMS provider with an API to interact with, like Twilio, VoIP.ms, or similar.

Minisforum makes good stuff, but only buy their Refurbished items if you don’t need something specific.

Lots of people buy Beelink minipcs for n100 boxes, but looks like the prices are all jacked right now. [This should only be about $150 maybe.](https://www.newegg.com/beelink-barebone-systems-mini-pc-intel-n95/p/2SW-0012-001Z2?Source=socialshare

I wouldn’t use an old MacMini for much because they aren’t actually power efficient, but any n100 for Ryzen5 minipic with Kodi on it would work just fine for you want. There are plenty of altern6to Kodi, but it’s so simple, it’s hard to pass up.
