Yep, it was my personal, password-protected network. Either someone reconnected it (unlikely, I live with my gf who doesn’t use the TV) or it just cached the password until it decided to spy on my again 🙃

I have definitely had to forget networks, then have them connect to that network weeks later at random, then having to forget the network again. Don’t know how that’s legal.
Do not connect your Smart TVs to network people, seriously. Just a bad idea. Use a media center PC or some other device that allows you to stream content, and make sure the TV itself is just a big monitor, nothing more.
And when you point that out to the AI, those code snippets get replaced with even more spaghetti that is maybe 1% closer to actually working, at best. Been there!
Oof, Dead Money is either love it or hate it, good luck
They’ve been making variations on the same game for over a decade, I totally believe them when they say that a tool used to regurgitate existing content is something important to their business.
As long as you have fun with what you play
Shit, never mind. I play Dead by Daylight.
I remember being pissed when I got shitty cards from a YuGiOh booster pack when I was a kid, never bought new packs again. Only got stuff if I knew its value first. The fact that kids these days are actually falling prey to these systems shows how much more advanced and predatory they are.
Seeing games I don’t play get affected by kernel anti-cheat just gives me this big self-serving biased perception that my taste in games is good.
They’re using a trusted formula that has worked since Far Cry 3 from 12 years ago. It’s fun but it’s not going to turn a lot of heads. Many just wish they would try something different.
My experience playing it so far has been pretty overwhelmingly positive. No one really cares who wins, it’s more fun to just make cool plays and do well individually.
Valve has the resources and incentive to take years and years making something fun with no worry about profitability. Steam is their product, the games Valve releases on Steam are just reasons to spend money on their platform.
Checks ProtonDB
So I’m missing out on Destiny, PUBG, CoD, Siege, Battlefield, and Lost Ark… Yeah I’m totally okay with that personally. There are thousands of other games I’d rather be playing and they all work great.
I mean, if my game mods were to be made into full titles, I for sure would be selling the rights to Valve if I had a choice. Dota also started as a mod and it still receives love from Valve 11 years on.
I’m so glad The Last of Us exists to show people that not all video game adaptations have to be this bad.
The answer to questions like these is always money.
Also a good point, this isn’t to knock products like the Fairphone since they’re offering extremely long product support windows, which should drive down demand for new devices and reduce their carbon footprint.
Never used it, might check that one out after
Smart TVs are designed to surveil you, a media center PC can be used however you want. Flash Linux and run Jellyfin and torrent everything through a VPN, then nothing can track you.
