  • I’m curious what’s on it. I’d guess it’s just a storage device with an antivirus and some system cleanup utilities. And enforces it’s restriction by storing a timestamp of when it was used.

    I put in a low effort search trying to find out. Saw a couple of YouTube videos that might say, but not in a position to watch those right now. Also found a reddit thread asking the same question but the comments wouldn’t load. Gave up at that point.




  • Until they want to play a multiplayer game with their friends, that doesn’t work because of Anti-Cheat

    It’s my understanding that anti-cheat CAN work in Linux and does with some games. The point is still valid of course. If a specific game someone wants to play doesn’t work, that’s going to be a frustrating experience. But still I foresee the percentage of Linux gamers will continue to grow. And gaming companies increasingly making sure to use anti-cheat software that does work with Linux, as that market share is becoming too large to ignore.

    I can’t discern what products here might be good or not. I have owned an S.M.S.L brand amp in the past, which seems to be a common listing and I was not happy with that. The LED in it went out and the volume control went scratchy after a pretty short period of ownership. Volume control was probably just a scratchy potentiometer and that’s easy to fix. But the fact that it had problems so quickly made makes me not trust the brand.

    If the vacuum tube amps I see here are a reasonable reflection of what kind of costs I can expect for those, I think I’ll have to let go of that idea. I do dig the aesthetics of the ones they have though.
