Well, you seem to have given this issue considerable thought. Here’s hoping it works out for you.

Man, that’s a whole lot of homework just to access a Microsoft account. In addition, Windows has a nasty habit of rolling back changes every time there’s a major update (like upgrading from build 24H2 to 25H2), so the tweaks listed might not even stick.

Thanks for the explanation!

I notice that the website has a “Powered by Tor & Haveno” button at the top. What’s the relationship between RetoSwap and Haveno, exactly? Is RetoSwap a fork of Haveno?

Still in development, I’m afraid. Not yet ready for regular use.

Holy shit, the author of the article did NOT hold back. And I’m glad he didn’t, all the criticisms listed are valid and deserved.

Pros: You have the freedom to do almost anything on it

Cons: …including fucking everything up

Oh wow, that ESA letter is just so full of misinformation and misdirection, it’s kind of embarrasing. At the same time, the POG Act is clearly getting under some people’s skin, so that means the movement is working! Hope Ross & co. can keep up the pressure.

Screamer! I’ve been wanting an arcade racing game to sink my teeth into and this is it. It’s probably the most technical arcade racer I’ve played: gas and brake are left and right trigger, no surprises there. The steering is where it gets interesting. The left stick does make your car turn left and right, but only ever so slightly. Steering with just that even in a slightly sharper bend will result with car in wall. Instead, you’re supposed to make use of the right joystick, which is basically drift on command. If anyone’s familiar with the game Inertial Drift, it’s pretty much that. You also have to m

In addition to this, the game is aggressive. After a certain point in the campaign, you get access to the strike mechanic, which is a short boost that insta-kills anyone it comes in contact with. There’s also boosting, shields, overdrive (which is the strike mechanic, except it’s always on until the gauge runs out, but the slightest contact with the wall will blow you up), etc. AND if that’s not enough, each driver has an ability. For example, one driver can get two boosts in a row, another gets bonus boosts and strikes whenever they K.O. an opponent, etc. It’s super fun.

If anyone’s into arcade racing, definitely try this out. Just sail the high seas first to see if it’s for your or not, the game unfortunately does not have a demo.

This is for connecting a Dreame vacuum robot to a PC for purposes of flashing Valetudo firmware over their stock firmware. The breakout board is needed because the connector on the robot is not USB, but a 2x8 PIN connector. When connected to the vacuum, it looks like this.

Oh cool, I was not aware. It’s always nice to have options.

To add to this: unless I’ve missed some, Mullvad seems to be the only VPN provider that doesn’t take your data at account creation. You are assigned a random account number. That’s it. No username, email, birthdate, etc.

You’re right, but let’s be honest: it may as well be.

I’m running Artix Linux with dinit and worry not, Mullvad does work. It just needs an additional step. I followed the instructions from this Artix forum topic, so I can vouch for that. I later discovered I probably could have just installed this AUR package, but I never tested that. The AUR also seems to have packages for runit and openrc, if that’s more your speed. You may want to do a test run in VirtualBox or something.

Anyway, good luck!

Far as I’m concerned, Denuvo just means “play something else”.

What’s with the random kishin in there?

Hm, good point, thanks. Post edited.

It feels like people admitting their mistakes is a rarity these days. Good on Gitlab!

Thanks for the mention, but I think I’ll pass on EVE. I know it fits all the criteria I mentioned, but that game is just so massively intimidating to me.

That’s good to know, I’m from Europe too. Will have a look later today!
