What sketchy ass VPN's have you been using?

Get something from a well known provider like Proton, iVPN, or Mullvad.

You are playing it on hardware that's 10 years newer than the game was designed for. That mod even lists SSD as the primary reason for the advancement, with it not making much difference running on an HDD.

Sounds like a great mod for today's equipment though.

Here's someone that solved this by monitoring the directory using inotifywait, but based on the restrictions you already mentioned I'm assuming you can't install packages or set up root daemons, correct?

Edit: CallMeAI beat me with this exact same answer by 15 minutes.

If you get four 2500 degree ovens, then it will only take 30 seconds!

DVD players used to be (probably still are?) region locked, and those didn't require internet service either. The region was either hard coded or could only be changed like 5 times.

It was an attempt to enforce geographic licensing fees and stop piracy.

They probably don't fit on the car wash tracks.

If you don't know how to use it then you still get a small home in a gated community.

E.T.lon is trying to phone home.

That was my take as well. Anyone with large real estate or other investment portfolios is treading water while those who don't are sinking without directly realizing why.

Restaurants absolutely did and do have a problem with that, and I question the authority with which you state that there are no appreciable monetary damages from amazon denying a small business additional sales opportunities.

If you're doing that you have zero need to bow to any single credit card company.

I don't even read 90% of the credit card offers I get, I have plenty of cards, and they are all at zero. Go ahead, cancel me. I'll have a new one in 15 minutes.

 

Hello everyone, I've managed to burn up three keyboards in the last week or so. All of them were kinda old, so its not that surprising, but still kinda annoying. Two of them died gracefully, specific keys just stopped working. I could fix them, but I don't feel like those boards are worth the effort. They aren't swappable keys, so I'd have to solder new keys on.

I want a new mechanical keyboard that has a physical volume knob, and I also really like backlit keys that shine through the letters. Can anyone provide any recommendations? I'm not opposed to building one, but I have not done that yet.
