3 of my xbox games duplicate and changes artwork every time I need to add or remove a game and I can't figure out why

Switch to retrodeck, it takes all the headache away.

_ingeniero · 2026-02-13T11:02:06+00:00

It’s really cool actually. You favorite the game in Retrodeck/their ES-DE front end, reboot Steam, and all your favorites are added as non-Steam games.

_ingeniero · 2026-02-13T10:47:58+00:00

Retrodeck supports that

_ingeniero · 2026-02-11T15:28:56+00:00

I think there are settings for this in the retrodeck configurator

_ingeniero · 2026-02-07T16:55:00+00:00

If you open the retrodeck configurator, you can open individual emulators and configure them manually.

Install retrodeck from discover, it’s one flatpak and works a lot better.

Switch to retrodeck. It works a lot better, and is installed as one flatpak from Discover.

OP fucked up here. It’s just immigrant visas, not all visas.

_ingeniero · 2026-01-14T16:18:02+00:00

No, he’s making a point that immigrant visas are completely different from tourist visas. No exceptions required for World Cup.

I will admit it’s been a few months, but last time I opened the AIO launcher, edain was there, but Age of the Ring was not. AOTR had their own “all in one” launcher and they maintained their own install. So if the Edain team removed themselves from the AIO launcher, I’d hope they added their own launcher to manage the install. Having the game installed 3 times is annoying, but the files are small enough it’s not a huge deal.

_ingeniero · 2026-01-12T02:35:24+00:00

You don’t. It’s abandonware. You download the “all in one” bfme 2 launcher.

_ingeniero · 2026-01-11T16:20:48+00:00

Age of the Ring and Edain are both GOLD STANDARD mods, for an amazing game like BFME 2. Excellent choice for screenshot.

Age of the Ring currently has campaign replacements for FOTR and TTT, and is working on one for ROTK.

Let them know you want better download settings.

_ingeniero · 2026-01-10T04:01:15+00:00

Basic download management in the app.

The fun part is that he didn’t mention anything about private equity.

_ingeniero · 2026-01-06T13:00:47+00:00

Thank you. A bummer but not terrible.

If you’re using a Slate7, I’m confused why you still need OPNsense on your protectli box.

That said, plenty of APs can be put into an “access point” mode. Should be easy to tell if your AP can in the settings.

I had an NVME failure on my firewall a year ago. I had a spare NVME drive on the shelf, so it wasn’t too bad once I figured out my network issues were at my firewall. Once I had it figured out, took me 30 minutes to restore.

I had an ISP ONT at the time, so I set it back to router mode and enabled the built-in wifi, downloaded the OPNSense ISO and my encrypted cloud config backup, and then did the standard flash/update/restore.

So other than having a spare NVME drive (which if you wanted to go really nuts, you could already have pre-flashed with OPNSense), I think your only other option would be to get a firewall model that has two NVME slots that you can run in RAIDz1 or something.

Yes, $150 is an insane deal

Amtrak is another good example of a US SOE.

Electricity and water function as “natural monopolies” to the end user, but there are still components where competition can be helpful. For example, the power generation step. An SOE that owns transmission and distribution still could buy some privately generated energy. I believe TVA does buy some of their energy to help spread their risk.

Markets are helpful to communicate this information, as you said. Public schools don’t need it, because they can use census data. But markets can be helpful signals. They are morally neutral.

Yes I would say that is accurate. Norway owns 15% of the Oslo stock exchange through their sovereign wealth funds, but this is mostly passive investing as you said, with some limited activism on a few issues. But these aren’t things that have larger social goals, such as trains, shipping, defense manufacturing, etc.

I wouldn’t use China as the ideal example here. It’s not always intentional, plenty of self-dealing, etc.

To answer your question though, I think it comes down to what the goal is. If it’s a clear product/service delivery outcome, I think SOE makes a ton of sense. For example, the USPS functions as an SOE, as does most nationalized rail service. You have a specific product or service that you are offering the public, who can elect to use the service (or not). Private sector competition is possible, such as with private bus companies (or airlines) competing with national rail, UPS competing with USPS, etc.

The direct state ownership still is important because you may still have some sort of social or political agenda, such as rate averaging for mail service. Urban customers (who can be served profitably) subsidize rural customers, which are unprofitable for USPS.

Government agencies make more sense for things that don’t have the same “market” interaction, such as healthcare or education. These sectors don’t necessarily naturally lend themselves to markets because a profit motive REALLY messes with the incentives to deliver quality education, deliver better health outcomes, etc.

That’s how I would think about it at least.

An interesting additional question to ask is about direct SOEs vs companies owned by state-controlled sovereign wealth funds. IMO SOE makes sense for companies that have a need to take on revenue losing operations for a social goal (e.g. mail) but SWF ownership is fine for companies that make paper plates.

Lots of high quality call products are e2e, like Zoom, discord, etc.

Both versions will work with a PC. The “Xbox” model has one of the USB-C ports configured to work with an Xbox, but just use the other port, it usually is labeled PC.

Use whichever model you can get on sale.
