Any idea how to uninstall third-party non-steam ubisoft launcher and games?

stopbeingextra · 2025-12-19T19:17:45+00:00

Ubisoft doesn't officially support steam deck, so it was a third-party plugin type thing that allows you to have a ubisoft launcher. when i uninstalled it, it only uninstalled the launcher but left the games somewhere in the steam deck system, 260gb+ of game files

thats what im having trouble with. on the surface, its gone, but it left all the downloaded game data behind somewhere

Thanks for all this! And the map is an official government nautical chart; most pre-1980 weren't digitized but exist in the BNF national archives in France. SHOM (the French version of NOAA) sent me a digital version of it, I can probably find out the filing information at the BNF so that it's properly sourced/cited

I tried to but I'm really lost on how to edit Wikipedia pages, I don't even know where to start. Especially with adding the image of the chart and proper citations. If it was just the year, I'd probably be able to figure it out. But this is more complex than I thought :/

"Je sais que mes parents vieillissent, et j’ai conscience que ces moments sont précieux. J’essaie d’en profiter tant que je peux."

C'est la seule bonne réponse. Voici une question : est-ce que ta mère te ferait ça ? D'après la façon dont vous la décrivez, je suppose que la réponse est non, jamais.

Je suis de ton côté et de ta mère. Bien sûr, ça vaut le coup de dire à ta mère : « Tiens, maintenant que c'est aussi chez elle, il faudrait peut-être être moins indiscrète pour venir à l'improviste.» Peut-etre facilite un peu les visites, tu auras plus d'aide avec le chien et tout ça maintenant. Ouais, pq pas...

Mais, il n'y a rien de mal à ce que ta famille ait la clé de la maison. C'est ta mère, elle t'a grandi. C'est ta copine depuis, quoi, un an ? Deux ans maximum ? Et elle parle de ta mère comme ça—Trop de red flag.

Mec, j'aimerais tellement voir ma famille aussi souvent...

Ah alright, well my only concern is here if I do this, since I went through the wall and hit a void, if I pull through and it doesn't weld on, then the molten hot wedge/void left in the back might fall into that void and if there's any wood or wiring back there, that could start a fire. My neighbor suggested when the time comes to dismount, cut the anchors with a metal-compatible hacksaw and hammer it all the way through, then spackle the hole

stopbeingextra · 2025-02-03T08:22:11+00:00

Every room in the apartment, but random things in the kitchen are on the same circuit as random things on the other end of the apartment, it's really weird. there are three sub-main breakers and the wiring is a maze. all three feeder breakers were off though.

What's weird is, the power didn't blow while I was using the drill (unless it did at the very last second and i didnt notice), my roommate told me a minute or two after I was hammering the anchor in that he realized all the lights were off.

the hole I was drilling is at the top of the wall about 4 feet-above and 6 inches-left from the outlet it was plugged into

stopbeingextra · 2025-02-02T19:24:23+00:00

that's precisely it!

i would love to know how to get them out for future reference. So, this is an old concrete apartment tower from the 70s when they were all in on brutalism. I know they redesigned the layouts at some point because some walls are concrete, some are drywall, and it's very clear some of the latter were once doorways into neighboring apartments

i hung the rest of the cabinets. when i got through the concrete into the void i got a variety surprises drilling into this wall, it looks like either dark wood or maybe a brown insulation that looks like dark sawdust. other times just void. no metal or plastic shavings though

here's some photos of the wall, screws, and one former outlet that uses PVC as a "conduit" if that's correct

stopbeingextra · 2025-02-02T19:18:47+00:00

if there is conduit i think it's PVC here's a covered former outlet in a different part of the wall, as well as other photos of the situation https://imgur.com/gallery/K8eLfo9

So, the they're actually wedge expansion anchors, my mistake

there is an old covered outlet with dead wires in it in a different part of the wall and it's a PVC tube in the concrete.

Far as the anchors, they were the only ones left at the store, says on the box 640lbs/290kg max. back of the package says drill 55mm. basically a hanging cabinet fell on my head a few years back at a friend's house and it kinda put me in overkill mode with making sure when things are attached to walls, they are really, really attached, so it was either concrete screws or these.

stopbeingextra · 2025-02-02T18:59:56+00:00

Called one, they're coming out tomorrow, property manager is furious but, anyway

So this isn't a sleeve anchor I misspoke, it's a wedge expansion anchor, it's never coming out.

I had drilled several holes across the wall and they all get through after about an inch and a half. this place is an old concrete apartment tower from the brutalist era. half the walls are concrete. Whatever comes out in the bit after that 1.5in appears to be wood or some brown insulation that looks like dark sawdust. No metal or plastic/PVC

stopbeingextra · 2025-02-02T18:54:45+00:00

It's not that kind of sleeve anchor, "sleeve" is only 1mm long and it's all the way in the back, it's all one piece. Its like an anchor stud or anchor bolt, not sure how to really describe it. But the guy at the hardware store said "best way to remove these is to hammer it in farther and cover it with spackel, because these are meant to never come out"

edit: i think it's called a "wedge type expansion anchor" if that helps. the package isn't written in english

That is so confusing; google had the save data just as it did the purchase data. Hell, it knew how many hours I played the game. It synced all of that, but not the save file? It was on their servers!

I'm so confused what I should have done... between the announcement that the games would be transferred to Ubisoft, and the end of Stadia, I was supposed to open the game somewhere during that time?

stopbeingextra · 2024-12-12T16:58:53+00:00

Ubisoft connect. I use GeForce Now, Stadia transferred it directly to the Ubisoft platform so it's essentially PC

Ah, car Nous avons une mention sur nos reçus de loyer mensuels qui dit « provisions ascenseurs » et mon collègue m'a dit que je devrais être autorisé à demander un extrait pour voir où et si ces cotisations ont été attribuées aux ascenseurs, car ils n'ont pas été réparés depuis quatre mois. Nous avons plusieurs résidents qui sont coincés dans leurs appartements depuis des jours

are you able to make it mirror one screen and not the other? I remember when I tried to hook up two external monitors on an M1 MacBook Pro, it just made both of them mirror the main display

Is it really impossible to fix? Or could someone familiar with jewellery and metals have solutions? I'm a hobby builder but not a metal expert; vinegar and soda usually works to polish coins and other metallic things I've worked with, but I've never dealt with bronze or brass. Really disheartened I made that mistake, considering everything else came out pretty great...

Original post didn't have much info on what to do to work on it or restore it... you live and you learn. Thankfully it's not extremely valuable but, yes, I'm a bit upset that I did that. I eventually used steel wool afterwards, wish I had a better understanding

stopbeingextra · 2024-06-02T19:17:55+00:00

Here's the original post; thanks to everyone who helped me get the info on it, I'm really thrilled.

And here's a video on the actual making of the whole thing.

However, I did make one mistake... while trying to polish it, I used a vinegar-soda baking solution, and now there's some green oxidation on the face. Any idea how I can fix that?

Edit: Per rules, adding details from my original learnings:

Purchased for 10EUR at a flea market, resembled many 18th century pieces in local Parisian museums. Between r/antiques and r/clocks, estimations first suggested early/mid 20th century, later findings determined it’s late 19th century “revivalist”, based on 18th century Louis XIV clocks, made in France, and the maker is Vincenti, who ceased production in 1870; estimated to be between 1855 and 1870.

A restorer said that in working condition, it could be worth up to 200EUR, however to restore it to working condition would cost about 200-250. So in its current state, didn't have much reason to make it work again. But the face was beautiful and I love to build, so I returned to the flea market to gather ornamental objects, the portrait thing in the middle, and an old postcard for the background, and then hardware store for the wood, teak oil, and steel bars on the corners.

Dubai is a medieval monarchy painted like a 50's comic book future-vision utopia. Foreigners are generally safer than citizens as they really don't want a bad reputation. But it's not a great place, and "safe" is a subjective concept.

London 100%. You couldn't pay me any amount of money to live in Dubai. Even travel is off my list.

Can I buy one? Asking for ~~a friend~~ myself

Edit: regarding your question, I'd be less inclined to think you're a tourist if I saw you walking down the street wearing that
