  • Getting locked out for 24 hours for changing between 5 different versions of Proton isn’t the worst, mostly just sucks for people who test stuff or benchmark.

    Same thing also happens on Windows if you replace hardware (for example doing benchmarking across multiple gpu models)

    Obviously fuck denuvo, I hate drm as much as the next guy in this community. But being locked out from using more than 5 different versions of Proton in 24 hours isn’t that bad, you can just switch back to one of those 5 and it keeps working. (assuming it worked in the first place, which at this point with how good proton has gotten it probably does)

    A lot of modern windows laptop don’t let you shut them down.

    They use something called Windows Hybrid Sleep and it should be illegal. Selecting shut down in windows will keep the machine in a state where it will turn on at random times to check for updates. Especially fun whrn in your backpack creating a furnace.

    Thankfully it can be disabled via AD policy.
