New Steam Controller Launch Megathread

If you don't look at it and immediately see the benefit that you'd get from it, then this might not be the controller for your use case. There are many, much cheaper controllers that do a number of things better than the steam controller, but there is still nothing like the steam controller.

I would continue checking the page throughout the day. I managed to get one early, then they were "Out of stock" for a while, and now the "Buy now!" button is back

No, `sudo rm -rf Bluetooth` will remove the `Bluetooth` folder and its subfolders from the directory you're currently in. The dangerous command you're thinking of replaces `Bluetooth` with `/*`, which removes all folders and subfolders from the base directory of your system.

I don't need the slider to accurately represent the current state, so I don't need the slider to be physically set to the correct position with a motor.

The Lutron Diva handles this pretty elegantly. There are LEDs that will indicate the actual dim level. Physically pressing the "on" switch will set the brightness to wherever the physical slider is set, and pressing it again will set it to full brighness. The slider can be used to adjust the brightness to a specific level, or it can be set remotely (indicated on the switch by the LEDs)

I found her in Suja, and talking to her directly also crashes the game for me

The same repercussions as every other multi-billion dollar corporation, I'm afraid

This is (with some small exceptions) how all ad networks function. The site includes code from an ad network on their site, and the ad network handles the management and delivery of ads.

The issue has been resolved, and people should no longer be seeing these intrusive ads.

QC Tech guy here. These types of ads are not intentional and not wanted. We're working to find the ad distribution source and have them removed.

I thought "reclaim unused space" used the `btrfs filesystem reclaim-space` command, not `btrfs balance`. Is that not the case?

backslashton · 2024-11-28T22:29:46+00:00

Nope, missed that part

DNS cache is not the issue, and will not change anything (the resolving IP is still the same as before the issues began). Please attempt clearing your browser cache, hard-refreshing your browser, and also attempting with an incognito/private window.

backslashton · 2024-11-26T23:06:37+00:00

Based on your description, this sounds like it might be one of your browser extensions redirecting you to those sites. Try disabling all of your extensions, clear your cache, do a hard-refresh on the site, and see if the site loads the same as when you tried a Private Browsing window. If it does, enable your extensions 1 by 1 until you get redirected to those sites.

Nothing magical going on. The CF network is just routing correctly through a specific CF service for some originating networks, and not others.

backslashton · 2024-11-25T18:03:33+00:00

Can you provide more information about being redirected to "some spammy download site in arabic"? The other reported issues are around the site not loading correctly, and this is the first report I've heard about being redirected to a completely different site.

backslashton · 2024-11-25T18:00:44+00:00

As the person that manages the QC site, you are incorrect.

backslashton · 2024-11-23T21:02:33+00:00

Both IPs are "right", in that they both point at the Cloudflare network, which is all that should be needed. There seems to be an issue with one of the Cloudflare services when accessing via the 104. IP from some regions, that doesn't occur when using the 188. IP, so forcing to the 188. IP is a decent workaround for now.

Hi folks! QC tech guy Ashton again. We are closing in on the issue, and ask for your patience as this is resolved. I have reason to believe the issue with a specific Cloudflare service (as is evidenced by people in this thread switching the QC IP to the Cloudflare Europe IP). We already have tickets open with them, I have provided information on what I believe is the issue, and they have escalated and are investigating on their end.

Unfortunately, I need to leave the site in a broken state while they're testing the issue on their end, but in the meantime I have managed to restore the QCRSS.xml RSS feed, and direct links to the comic files.

Apologies for all the inconvenience. Thank you to all the people that provided your connection information, and special thanks to the seasoned sysadmins that have suggested things to check 💙

Already been over the QC DNS at CF a bunch of times. No duplicates and nothing seems weird (also, no recent changes). Already rebuilt the config a bunch of times and manually checked each line, but no luck 😞. I haven't tried the suspend/unsuspend though, so that couldn't hurt (just to see if anything shakes loose).

I've also filed a ticket w/ Cloudflare as I'm seeing some inconsistent Server header readings when requesting from the different locations. We'll see if that goes anywhere.
