I mean my Asus router models aren't supported by merlin. Only 1 of them functions as an actual router.

But that's the point. You, the 15 year old, never click or see the box. Your data is harvested because somebody somewhere else agreed to it.

It's like giving any website the right to farm your data because somebody else on the same shared IP clicked accept all.

I'm also totally okay not having to send any identity data over the net. I fully agree there. It's just their standpoint of "let an admin click it and we can farm everybody's data behind that device" seems like a very unstable legal standpoint.

Then again. I'm not a lawyer and the law doesn't work based on how lawful i feel something is or should be.

I'd rather update it as well. But the routers are behind my ISP router and aren't externally accessible. The attack surface is smaller in that regard. I'm not happy with the thought of an unpatched router. Maybe I can hold out long enough for merlin to support my routers.

I dont think the latest few updates I did mentioned any security updates. Only bugfixes.

I'll tackle the problem when it presents itself I guess.

Routers aren't supported by merlin unfortunately :(

Is the train of thought that if the adult approves they can harvest data from minors regardless? It harvests data from anybody using the internet, not just person handling the settings. It doesn't seem legal that the data harvest agreement binds all users in a household rather than the one managing the settings?

Is that legal in Europe? is it legal to suddenly semi brick a device if you dont allow them to data harvest? Is it really considered giving consent freely when the device you paid $$ for suddenly no longer does 90% because you disagree with sudden data harvest practices?

I can understand a feature not working because you disagree on sharing something. E.g: can't tell you which pizza place is near you if you dont share your location.

But this? I hope it's illegal and they get sued into oblivion for this. This is super invasive.

Same :(

I guess I'm not updating my routers anymore then. Sucks though. It seemed to be the only Asus product that wasn't garbage.

Oh I thought the cloud game pass wasn't Xbox games only. But that is entirely possible.

So this is basically Xbox game pass ultimate, the cloud gaming part?

Because at one point they mention if you have to rebuy games you already own and they said you can just link your library.

At one point it sounds like they're renting out hardware and are able to stream your library to you ( you own the game ). Other times it sounds like they have a catalog and you just pay for the streaming to your device ( you don't own the game ).

Edit: do not mean this in a negative way. I'm just confused trying to find the answer :D

My experience with nobara has been great. It is fedora based rather than arch though.

And this way you'll be sure the intermediate site isn't also scraping your data.

Ah, I don't think I've had that, but your YMMV I guess. Gaming on Linux has been pretty good to me since I started.

I'll give this a shot if it starts acting up though!

You can have lutris use proton rather than the lutris wine version though? It's how I run battle.net on lutris.

If i take the default wine it gives me a load of **** with missing fonts and other errors. Running it with proton 8.0 just makes it work.

I bet it helps with employee retention as well.

True, but they aren't marketing it as FOSS though.

Meh,

I was interested and it could be nice. But staying in the loop means registering with a discord or github account. :/

He's an alcoholic bodyguard who can't do an assignment without getting hammered on liquor. I wouldn't call that finding peace. :D

Oh man the memories. The first two were stellar games. The first one had amazing mods too.

The third one wasn't really my cup of tea. Not bad in general, but not as brilliant as the first two.

Is Windows mobile still a thing? I thought they meant the app in the windows store ( desktop/laptop).

Last time I saw somebody use a windows phone was 10 years afk :/
