Had this issue once, 2 drives kept not initializing during boot, rebooting a few times got them to register but showed drive errors. I thought either the drives or my SAS card was dying. Fully reseating the connectors fixed it and haven’t had an issue since.

Also, Halo 3 custom games with full lobbies and super creative customs. Honestly, just Halo 3 in general

I was a Windows user up until last year. I ditched it for EOS after I got tired of telling Windows NO I DON’T WANT WINDOWS 11 for the 500th time. Between having to manually remove Cortana, Edge, trackers and spyware and having ads shoved in my notifications, I couldn’t stand it anymore.

Now, as an average user they’re not gonna care about any of that. Hell, I didn’t start caring until I upgraded from 7 to 10 (I deliberately skipped 8) and they started enshitification. 10 was good, at first. It’s what they added that made it unbearable.

My biggest praise of Linux over Windows is not having to check for updates for different programs manually. I just hit sudo pacman -Syu and it does it all. Proton just makes my games work and I can do everything I did in Windows. Can I play AAA games with anticheat? Yes, but not all games. The ones I can’t, I really don’t feel the desire to play anymore anyway.

No, see, there won’t be another console, so Phil will be CEO until death (of Xbox or himself)

I might’ve unintentionally over exaggerated what I meant, edited my comment. I meant bricking as in how Xbox would ban your console for cheating or modding them forcing it as an offline only system, not making them a paperweight. That’s my bad

Let’s assume you stole the Switch 2 early. To get this update, you’d be connecting it to the Internet. Nintendo has not only recently updated their TOS to state they can brick your console if they suspect you of pirating, but console manufacturers have been known to ban accounts brick and or flag devices if they get connected before official launch. What will stop them from doing that immediately if you connect online before it’s release date? I’m sure they already know which serial numbers are green lit for people with early access and which aren’t. You won’t be worrying about a day 1 update because you probably won’t receive it, and you’ll be locked to whatever game you’re able to steal with it as long as it works offline.

Your best option is try to flip it immediately to some other schmuck and hope wherever you post it doesn’t alert authorities to you or just get removed for being clearly stolen.

And has reliability issues, I got one for my mom so she could use my Plex server, it died just outside of warranty. She didn’t use it often so it wasn’t used and abused, just stopped outputting video one day.

Well of course, if it was made from Linux it would leak everywhere since it’s open source. You gotta have closed source to keep the water in, hence the Windows.

Or maybe I’m just confused

Not exactly, I play Halo MCC online, Dead by Daylight, Splitgate, etc. Lots of multiplayer games work fine for me. I use EOS btw

It’s actually completely unplayable for Linux users because of the new anti cheat.

The absolute bliss

Same with me when I was in Brazil, it was chugging along just fine back in New England

Ryzen 1200/GTX 960 small build running Linux Mint. There’s a UHD blu-ray drive in it as well with the custom firmware to rip disks. Media is stored on my NAS that handles Plex and transcoding. The parts were mostly old extras I had lying around, just needed the case, blu-ray drive and boot SSD. Oh and the like $20 wireless Logitech keyboard/track pad combo for control.

Interesting, I haven’t had any issues with things loading with mine, maybe it’s your adlists causing issues? Try disabling some, there might be false positives in there giving you issues

10400F running my NAS/Plex server and raspberry pi 5 running PiHole

If you want to prevent your TV from getting stolen just get a Trinitron, it’s heavy as fuck and old enough where no thief would take thier time to steal it. Mine’s 109lbs

Mines nothing special, i5 10400 with 16GB of RAM and a 1050ti for video encoding. System runs TrueNAS Scale for Plex and Immich and has 44TB of drives running through a Dell H310 PERC SAS card. I desperately need more storage but I’ve been lacking the funds for new drives, I’d also need a 5.25" drive bay converter to hold the 2 additional drives I need in this case since all the bays are full, and another SAS card since this one’s used up.

I’d like to move to Jellyfin but from what I’ve read it doesn’t do as well for streaming from outside the network compared to Plex and half the users of my server are outside my network. So it works for now.

Also have a Raspberry Pi 5 running PiHole

Also a buddy 3D printed a fan mount for the H310 to make sure it doesnt overheat when doing file transfers and I slapped a Noctua on it

It’s a mild cheese, tastes somewhat similar to mozzarella IMO, texture is very soft almost like cake icing. It was off putting to me at first but now I love it

Several Brazilian pizzas have corn, my favorite example is with linguiça, catupiry, caramelized onions and corn.

Observe

I’m just an idiot that tinkers with things. I’ve got a TrueNAS Scale system up and running as network storage and Plex storage. There’s about 44TB of raw capacity in there right now, connected via a server SAS card. I just follow tutorials if I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
