Make sure you’re using the actual project with the links from the developer’s github rather than the copycats.

I’m certain it wouldn’t be too hard for a community driven list to be made/loaded.

The retail pre-paid debit cards can be bought with cash at various convenience stores, at least in the US. Growing up I used to use them before I had a bank account.

There is no name attached. Just the payment method at initial purchase (which can be done with cash).

Learn to use ebay and enjoy the used discounts, dude. It’s such a refresher.

There will always be businesses liquidating inventory, cryptominers dumping their cards, and average joes hoping that they can sell their old PC rather than recycling it. It sucks that most of the stuff will not be new, yeah, but you can still get powerful hardware at an affordable price.

My lemming on the internet, prepaid debit cards have been a thing for multiple decades and are perfect for anonymous purchases online at any storefront. You don’t need explicitly Valve-endorsed cards.

The wikipedia search method to find the official sites has never failed me.

Depends on the state. The Florida Mindset is not a universal one.

“There is a way… to play games on linux without steam deck verification.”

“Is is possible to learn this power?”

“Not from a casual user.”

How’s OpenStreetMap for that and walking around? I’ve degoogled a bit ago and have been using Co-Maps for cycling and driving navigation, but I never tried using it for nature preserves and trails (or walking around the streets where I live in the US).

LinuxDistros+Proton enters the chat…

Well the beauty of PC is that you could always jump ship to another distributor/developer if one turns into shit.

EA is already there, so it’s easy to play games from other devs instead XD

You’ll need to rip and decrypt.

I suppose, although you can’t expect everything to be maintained in perpetuity. That’s why the repair guides are out there and the battery/SSD specs are available to the public for aftermarket replacements.

If this was Apple, I think we’d all be singing a different tune, since they sue anyone who tries to create a aftermarket repair ecosystem.

(For the record: not supporting the decision, but rather explaining from an engineer’s lens why they probably are doing this and how it’s not as much as a pain point vs. repair hostile products)

Gabe Newell famously participated in an interview about the same subject when porting The Orange Box, and as a result handed the port off to EA (which ended up running like dogshit compared to all other platforms).

Of course, and I’m not knocking the FEX project. I’m just pointing out that there is no native solution to running programs built for other hardware architectures (other than a port adapted from source).

The PS3’s CELL is just so egregiously unique that it has a massive emulation overhead compared to ARM or any other more common/simple hardware architecture - less understood overall, and less understood in how it can be translated to x86 compared to ARM->x86.

This is not apples to apples whatsoever. Following this logic I can run ARM programs natively on x86 hardware thanks to android using the Linux kernel in its development.

You will need a compatibility layer regardless for different hardware architectures from your own. This includes the PS3’s CELL based hardware (which is why RPCS3 needs so much power to emulate the system at good speeds). Now if you ran Linux on your PS3, there is a possibility to do this (but then you’d have to emulate x86 games on your PS3).

Sandpaper and reflashing solve the two ways that’s performed though.

Electronic component fencing has been a thing for a while (especially to regimes who aren’t supposed to have them)
