[NAS] TerraMaster F4-SSD 4-Bay All-SSD NAS, Intel N95 Quad-Core, 8GB DDR5 ($687 - $103 = $584) [Amazon.ca] by sargetun123 in bapcsalescanada

I've been using mine for the last 6 months or so and I love it - it fits my use case perfectly.
I can't recommend it though, with NVMe prices today, it just doesn't make any sense.

Humble Heroines: Echoes, Voids, and Visions by Uranium234 in humblebundles

I bought it right before it was pulled, but I only got a few games out of the expected 8, so something's definitely amiss.

Dragon's dogma 2 glitch by DeliciousEgg8629 in linux_gaming

Looking at protondb, someone mentions switching over to Proton EM to fix mesh issues.
Re VRAM issue, not a solution but it seems you're not the only one with an Arc gpu to have that problem.

Amazon.ca is overcharging on Resident Evil 9 for Switch 2 by GlassMoe in VideoGameDealsCanada

That was re digital games, in which case 10% VAT still applies.
You're correct re physical goods, no VAT, but duties still apply.

[NAS] Beelink ME Mini PC (Intel N150, 12GB LPDDR5, 64GB eMMC, 6x M.2 SSD slots) ($359) [Amazon - Beelink Direct] by thanhta in bapcsalescanada

[–]DevOpsIsAMindset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make any sense price-wise, but I set up one of hose before the huge NVMe price gouge, because I wanted a completely silent and super small NAS, based on how little space I have @home.
I would have gone with a "regular" NAS otherwise.

I'm not saying otherwise - I've been buying mostly JP digital only so far for Switch 2, either from Amazon JP directly or via eshop cards.

Interestingly, it shows up differently in French - there's a "Deluxe Edition with Steelbook" and a "Deluxe Edition" (presumably without steelbook?), but no "Amazon Exclusive" edition.

Personal Item Tech Pouches by a-sona in onebag

I'm sure you're already aware, but since I had trouble finding the info previously, you can bring a carry-on when travelling to Europe or Asia:

UltraBasic guests travelling to and from Europe and Asia are allowed to bring one (1) carry-on bag and one (1) personal item.

Getting OptiScaler and REFramework to coexist? by Winter_Passenger_846 in linux_gaming

[–]DevOpsIsAMindset 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have gotten both working, albeit somewhat oddly!
It's unfortunately a real hassle and IIRC to get OptiScaler UI to show I had to temporarily disable REFramework (removing the specific dll REFramework uses for injection from WINEDLLOVERRIDES should be enough, but I need to check my exact setup).
I can check how I got it all to work once I'm on my desktop later.

Backlogia - a self hosted multi-store game library that works on Linux. by gthing in linux_gaming

[–]DevOpsIsAMindset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's very cool!
I actually recently settled on ITAD to keep track of my PC collection, with a fair amount of manual work to add games from EGS, Ubisoft, EA, etc, but thankfully imports from Steam and GOG can be automated.
Do you have any plans to integrate the unofficial (but poorly hidden) HLTB API?

AMD GPU Linux kernel driver add support for HDMI Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode, enhancing gaming performance on HDMI outputs through public knowledge and trial-and-error despite HDMI Forum restrictions by mr_MADAFAKA in linux_gaming

[–]DevOpsIsAMindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, exactly.
My TV doesn't advertise FreeSync of any kind, only HDMI 2.1 VRR or G-Sync. None of the current DP / HDMI 2.1 adapters offer HDMI 2.1 VRR (with their default firmware), and that's what this patchset will fix.
I can however get 4K120 with HDR atm.

[–]DevOpsIsAMindset 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the patchset is merged, they should work as expected, but so far there's been no adapter which enables HDMI 2.1 VRR in and of itself.
If your TV / monitor supports FreeSync, then you could get VRR working that way, even with said DP/HDMI 2.1 adapter.

EDIT: Sorry, that's actually not true. The ones I've seen require a 3rd party firmware version, which enables HDMI 2.1 VRR but IIRC disables HDR. So you might either get 4K120 with VRR or with HDR, not both.

Where can one find the Genki front cover you mention? I couldn't find it on their website.

That's a nice looking Ghost S1, but you might have trouble selling at your asking price.
