Genuine question...I've only ever thought that was some kind of movie magic we all accepted as reality. Could you blind a camera with any kind of laser pointer? Like, Dollar store shit would work? or it needs to be a special frequency or something?

Wow, when I got into 3d printing, I never thought we'd get to a place where people were just trying to give them away LOL!

Good on you trying to find a new home for it, hope someone puts it to good use!

I've paid for the lifetime subscription for Plex...Still only using Jellyfin

Fucking great film. Recommend Throne of Blood too if you've not seen it.

The only thing keeping me from using Linux on my gaming PC at this point is that I'm still using repacks, some of which need an "updater" file to progress to the most up to date copy of the game. I tried with Bazzite, but it was just a bit too difficult. I think once Baldur's Gate3 is "final," I'll make the full switch. I'm already rocking Fedora on my personal laptop which has been seamless.

Same. My wife also just asked me to get a bunch of audio books too...so looks like I have to set up that now

Actually, I had been thinking about this all day. BG3 Totally deserves the money for the amount of hours I've already sunk into it. First game I bought at $60. Cheers mate!

I'm in the process of moving houses at the moment. But I've already got a nice PC put together to host a mess of services. Should be "fun" LOL

I stopped paying attention to Bethesda when they released that Creator's Club (or whatever it was called) bullshit for FO4. That shit broke all the fucking mods I had, then they had the audacity to request $20 for a mod that was already freely available. I lost any respect I had for then in that moment.
I'm not giving them another dime...doesn't mean I won't still play their games though.

Does steam os have a regular desktop mode? I saw ETA prime install steamos on a mini gaming pc yesterday, but never mentioned using it with a mouse and keyboard.

Literally just bought 1 this month

Seconded. Rustdesk is what I use for all my remote access stuff, doesn't matter from what OS to what OS. The only problem I had was when I tried using it to remote into my Bazzite install, I had to OK it from the Bazzite machine, which defeated the purpose.

Agreed! and Bazzite totally had a great solution for it. My issue came when I already had the repack installed, then you have to run an EXE to update to the newest version of the game. I just had such difficulty making that happen, that I kind of gave up. I hadn't tried Bottles, but I did see that was also auto installed. I might try on a virtual machine to see if I can figure it out... As for deserving the money, you're 100% right. I will buy it eventually.

I mean, What are you trying to download and can you get it from other channels? MS store has been rather hit or miss for me, and you can typically find it elsewhere....and if you can't find it elsewhere, there are still ways to get it from the store without using the store

I just figured it out. You have to open the port on your router

I'm pleading full ignorance here. Because I opened the port for JF, doesn't that mean the only thing exposed would be my jellyfin? I thought having the rest of my ports closed would not allow access to the rest of my system?

wait what? I've always used deluge, but you're saying that I can search for torrents from within qbit?

Dude, I'm blown away by how easy AudioBookShelf was to set up. I was going to go with Jellyfin for audiobooks too since I already had my libraries set up, but I wanted to try an alternative just to see. So easy, I was up and running in under 10 minutes! Thanks for the recommendation!
