  I prefer solo play as well, but was under the impression that a lot of games still need an internet connection, just to be annoying.

  I’m just using steam at the moment because they are bloody amazing for Linux, I have never tried heroic, or anything else on linux, aside from emulation which is a very logical thing to have set up these days.

  I should be supporting gog, but they annoy me by being stupid every time I try.

  CXMT

  Gamers Nexus has mentioned them a few times on youtube.

  I’m assuming the usa will label them as communist terrorist witches though, and it will not be available in the usa, and possibly also not available in some of their ally of evil nations.

  I’m still not quite sure what happened with Deepcool in that respect though, since I bought a Gamerstorm psu a few weeks ago. Gamerstorm is Deepcool, they have mirrored products under both brands.

  If companies want privacy they need to consider taking a step back to on-site storage.

  If customers want privacy, they might be shit out of luck.

  LG believes it is your responsibility to tell anyone entering your premises, that your LG device will be spying on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Non-replaceable batteries are bad, but they are far form new, they have already been tried and are known to be deliberately anti-consumer, which is why the eu is doing something about it. Every single person does not need to buy ewaste for something to be known as ewaste.

  Consumer tech would have progressed a great deal more if consumers had standards. At the moment it has just gone from bigger number better, to put ai in the name. Tech is meant to be better than that, sustainability is a massive part of long term viability due to finite resources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that would depend on how often you used the torch, for me rechargeable batteries last for years in them.

  My headphones have a cord, because logic (for my use case anyway). I have no idea how long batteries tend to last in cordless ones.

  So with the mouse, what you are saying is that you could use it while it was plugged in with a cord?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure of the advantage, docking the device instead of putting the batteries in a recharger? The batteries do not need to be charged that often anyway, and that would increase the cost of every device, as opposed to just buying one charger that should last for a very, very long time.

  Putting batteries in a charger isn’t difficult.

  If it was all just about my preferences, we would all be using corded… better, simpler, less waste.
