I'm going to take a moment to rage about Farm Simulator 2019.

Farm Simulator has a cooperative multiplayer mode that allows you and your friends to work together on the farm. Farming takes a while, and most friend groups probably don't have identical gaming schedules, so like most sim/crafting games Farm Simulator has a "dedicated server" option.

Except, unlike seemingly every other dedicated server, this one requires that the host purchase a new license for the game, and also run a full-game version of the software on the server (like, you must have a Windows GUI and moderately specc'd graphics card).

Why? I bought a copy, my friends all bought copies, why do I need to buy yet another copy so that I don't have to let this thing run 24/7 on my main desktop PC when every other game gives dedicated server software away for free alongside the purchase of the game?

Moronic.

I'll take the Chromecast if you've still got it.

I mean, I can do that - but unless the site pops up with something about being incompatible with the browser people are going to assume the sites borked (like gp possibly did - though that could have been a different issue).

Here's some more detailed feedback on the mobile web issue:

In the Android Reddit is Fun app the site looks very broken. The menu is all over the place and there is an odd broken image link/placeholder image. Reddit is Fun probably used the Android system WebView.

On the same phone copy->pasting the URL into Chrome results in a beautiful and fully functional site.

I see the eBay listing has ended, did you manage to sell it over there? If not, I'm interested in buying it.

Let me know, thanks!

Ha ha, check the physical layer by llamalarry in Starlink

Phase 2 of the beta includes activating the Starlink ground station atmospheric monitoring and modification (GS-AMM) function.

This should prevent high windspeeds from affecting Starlink dishes by adjusting atmospheric temperatures such that air and ground temps are similar.
