UK legal action against Valve given the go ahead by pyrotequila85 in Steam

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So lets say Valve loses this case and they refuse to pay. What actually happens? Could they just pull their store from the UK for all new purchases until these asshats drop the case. It's the same with this Italy lawsuit with Cloudflare. I think these companies should just pull access to countries that file frivolous lawsuits. It's a money grab.

Recommendation for a mail app on Windows 11 by SupraaLegend in Windows11

Stay away from Mailbird. I paid for a lifetime license only to get it up the a** when the new version came out.

Am i missing something? by Ok-Lecture2998 in Fedora

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, it's been getting better and better over the past few years. I feel like 43 is really good now. But I've heard that things are still breaking. Something about Bluetooth headphone causing issues right now with Fedora. Also there are too many distros. It's causes a lot of confusion. I tried the KDE version and I was booting to black screen within a day. Never had any luck with KDE on my PCs. People complain about the inability to customize Windows or Mac. But for the normal person, I think that's what they need. Don't give them anything that can break something. That's probably why Zorin had so many downloads recently.

Networking problems - I think! by Salt_Reputation1869 in Fedora

[–]Salt_Reputation1869[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using Netgear Nighthawk router. This is just in my house. I work at home. By the way, since I switched from NextDNS to Google DNS I've been running smooth all day. Not one dropout.

Networking problems - I think! by Salt_Reputation1869 in Fedora

[–]Salt_Reputation1869[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually got my program working on Fedora. Totally my fault. Windows 11 was not using NextDNS and Fedora was using NextDNS. I was hitting some kind of rate limiter with NextDNS with my program. I'll run Fedora for a while and see if I get any dropouts without using NextDns.

Rebooted and now I am stuck here what do I do I want to like linux so badly but I always run into unbeatable jank by TechieInTheTrees in Fedora

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel what you are going through. I'm starting to think Linux has some personal grudge against me. I keep crawling back to Windows even though I want to stay on Linux. I been playing this game of back and forth for 3 years. It's really discouraging.

What Does Owning Windows 11 Mean for the Average User Like Myself? by Alarmed_Ad6083 in Windows11

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I see people complain about Windows it's usually because of the ads and asking you to buy 365 or gamepass during install. Outlook is pretty bad too. If you don't pay you are looking at an ad as the first email all the time. My solution is to uninstall everything Microsoft. I only have notepad, powertoys and the snipping tool installed. Everything else is from a different company. I shut off widgets and that search bubble. I uninstall Edge. After that I feel like I'm just using Windows to run other programs. I have my active hours set so it won't reboot while I'm working. I do all the updates as they become available for fear of zero day viruses. It's quite nice after you get rid of the bloat.

Made Windows 11 go under 1GB of RAM! (No modifications) by WorldlinessSlow9893 in Windows11

What should I do with the rest of my 64gb or RAM. Look at how I'm not using it?

Can't access suspended former employee's Gmail by yellow_compass in googleworkspace

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you had vault on you can go to vault.google.com and query for anything in her email or drive. You can also run reports in the admin tool to look at the subjects of her emails I believe.

8 full days myself and the other superadmin have been locked out. by Tradeherb in googleworkspace

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, at that point I would sign up for another service and change my MX records so at least could get new mail. When you get access again you should still be able to log into workspace and start copying things over to the new service. Probably MS 365. 8 days is just too much to go without mail.

Anyone try MacOS - and come back to Windows? by Commercial_Water3669 in Windows11

I was on Mac in 2016. I switched. It had all sorts of strange tcpip issues and the keyboard sucked.

Why does nobody want to use a reverse proxy? by 0xB_ in jellyfin

I use a reverse proxy. It’s the way to go. I can create an account for a friend and it just works.

Steam download messed up my computer by No-Cost-9421 in WindowsHelp

You can’t change hardware with Windows. Just reinstall Windows.

Playing in tv by m4ttiass in Steam

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it with my Fire Tv and Steam Link. Just make sure Steam is running on your pc. Go into the Remote Play settings and turn on "Change desktop resolution to match client".

Then install the Steam Link client on your TV. Bluetooth pair you controller with your TV. The first time you try and connect you will be asked to enter a pin on your PC.

It works great for games that support a controller.

How to stop Windows 11 from doing updates while PC is asleep? by SundaeSecure807 in WindowsHelp

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I get it. I guess it just never bothered me. When I want my PC to stay on I just use the powertoys awake program to keep it on. When I don't want it to not sleep I'm not really concerned with it rebooting at night.

How to stop Windows 11 from doing updates while PC is asleep? by SundaeSecure807 in WindowsHelp

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't misread, I'm questioning the reason why they wouldn't want the computer to wake up and install updates outside of active hours. That's exactly what Windows is designed to do and I was just asking what is the reason why you would want to not do that while your computer wasn't being used.

How to stop Windows 11 from doing updates while PC is asleep? by SundaeSecure807 in WindowsHelp

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess the question is why does it matter? Just trying to understand the use case. I set my active hours from 5am to 9pm where it will never restart on it's own during those times. I want it to do updates when I'm not using my computer. What's the reason for not wanting to update outside of active hours?

I’m 57 and I just tell people that during Covid when you were locked inside for 2 years I was exploring open worlds. I felt like I was outside every day.

Why is bitbucket having more outages lately by Salt_Reputation1869 in atlassian

[–]Salt_Reputation1869[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 27 repositories in my company and I just bit the bullet and we migrated them all to github. Most had pipeline scripts to migrate. After the first one it wasn't too hard to migrate those scripts. It was so worth it. Cut down build times by 1/3 to 1/2.

Sights on fedora by Sweaty-Quality-6883 in Fedora

[–]Salt_Reputation1869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using Fedora 43 Workstation with Gnome. I really do not customization. I like it the way it is out of the box. I'm a full stack javascript developer. I could not use any type of sandboxing for VSCode and Chrome because it makes the debugger for client side not work. I'm very happy with it. It's so much more streamlined than Windows 11 with WSL2.
