  • VR “works”, but as someone who uses it, I can’t reccomend it for now.

    Compatibility is wildly different between headsets. And no matter which route you take, you will need to tinker and troubleshoot. There is no plug and play solution right now.

    If you want to plug in your VR headset, and just play some games, stick to Windows for now. If you’re fine tinkering around, there’s always SteamVR, but also check out Envision and Monado.

    As for desktop games, you can find what works on ProtonDB. Most games work fine, with the exception of games with kernel level anti-cheat.






  • Still doesn’t make a VPN the “magic all in one solution” it claims to be. And SNI is encrypted on newer servers using encrypted client hello (ECH).

    In terms of privacy, you’re switching around which entity gets to see a ton of details. Do you trust random public wifi enough, given modern security standards? Or do you trust a VPN company more, despite false advertising?

    Use HTTPS and DoH (Becoming a default on some Android versions), and the average person will be just fine without a VPN.




  • The actual cheaters completely bypassed the new anti-cheat in about 6 hours. They had to update their cheats a bit, but are otherwise essentially unaffected. Linux users, Steam Deck users, and people who don’t want to give a single game full hardware access, are all affected. None of those can play GTA:Online anymore, unless they mod the game to bypass the anti-cheat, which can be seen as cheating in itself, and could result in a ban.

    The ddos attacks are likely being orchestrated by a small group of people or even an individual, it probably does not represent the vast majority of affected users.
