It depends what you are after.

Even though Google has a long history of killing their products I doubt they’d do it to Google Drive anytime soon. You could upload it there and make it publicly available. Proton Drive is newer and preferred by a lot of people for numerous reasons. It has a 5GB limit. You could probably use that.

I feel like the key is having at least one other place where it is in the event one service dies.

That said there are paid services out there that would likely keep your files indefinitely and are unlikely to shutdown anytime soon.

Glad I’m not alone on this. If I do find a solution I’ll make sure to tag you in it.

It would be nice if troubleshooting this was more standardized. Most people just seem to jump to a new firmware or give up all together.

I was referring to drives like the Seagate 16TB HDD Exos X16. That said there are MDD drives that are apparently cheaper but I haven’t heard of them before.

I wasn’t sure about that considering HAMR and HDMR drives are being developed like Seagate’s Mozaic 3+ which has 30TB.

My stake is really that 30 TB mark. That should be enough to consolidate all my storage conveniently in one spot. I don’t need incredibly fast transfer speeds so I think an HDD would do fine.

Kind of similar in the unpleasant aspect but I’d say someone who doesn’t know when to stop and take things seriously.

If you are looking for information related to Tor you could probably find some discussion of it in privacy focused communities and instances.

Maybe try searching related topics like Tor or the podcast Darknet Diaries. If you are looking for a fake Rolex or the onion versions of news sites like the BBC you can just search for those directly instead of jumping through hoops to end up there anyway.

I would say the Internet as well. It has dramatically shaped how we interact with the world and has made a lot of information more accessible.

There are probably better overall answers like farming, the printing press, vaccines, transistors, and fertilizer but I feel like a lot of them are if we didn’t have X we wouldn’t have Y situations.

In general, technology gets cheaper for better products over time. Short term that’s not always true, but the longer timescales you look, the better is it for consumers.

Yeah that’s why I linked the graph above. I asked here because I thought someone might have looked into this before and have a better insight on it. Maybe they’ve read about foretasted chip shortages or some kind of technological improvement with manufacturing? I am not sure. It’s something I only sporadically see articles about.

A year or two is a long time, and probably worth waiting.

If the price of a HDD on sale this year is equal to the average price of the same tier of HDD two or three years from now I’d probably just pull the trigger now.

Howard referred to Shattered Space as being in the vein of Bethesda’s other “annual story expansions”, adding that the developers hope to release additional content for Starfield for “a very long time". That means we’ll see at least one more big expansion, with Howard saying that the team “more or less” plan to put out annual DLC in a similar way to their previous games.

“We’re planning for the one after [Shattered Space], so there will be another one,” Howard then confirmed.

I feel like these two comments hint at different things. I hope there is more than one DLC to come.

I haven’t played Starfield yet but I’ve heard the base game can be kind of dull at times. I was hoping we would see some kind of No Man’s Sky or Cyberpunk 2077 changes to the base elements of the game that might address this.

It seems like this website works. It didn’t prompt me for a login but I didn’t test it to see the end result. Might be worth a try.

Fun fact for those interested the STALKER series was partially inspired by the book A Roadside Picnic. A movie was released in 1979 that was also inspired by it named Stalker.

Update - 11/01/2024, 11:55 AM UTC: The GitHub repository has been restored now. Hopefully this won’t happen in future, considering as noted below, GSC Game World actually gave it their blessing to be used. And thanks to the take-down, even more people now know about it. From the reversal notice, GitHub stated clearly after a review it was a fraudulent take-down.

If it works mind following up in an edit or comment so anyone who stumbles across this post knows?

The PCGamingWiki is also another good resource especially for older or more obscure games. Most fixes are Windows specific but they can be used on Linux. For example here is the page for Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit where it links fan patches and an open source engine recreation.

If someone is really desperate there’s always the option of searching GitHub issue pages like dxvk to see if it has been documented, if there is a temporary fix, if a fix is on the way, or if it’s going to remain a constant issue (ex. FiveM).

Ah my mistake. I wasn’t sure if it was a subtitle like Alan Awake 2: An American Nightmare.

You may want to try searching around GitHub. There’s a few posts regarding vkd3d.

https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/1754

If you scrolls down to the bottom there are a few potential fixes mentioned in the form of launch commands.

There was this comment on Reddit as well

well there is some good news and bad news…the good news that i got it some fixes from other sites that it all need to do add env command line to your proton terminal is add this

export VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_EXT_mesh_shader VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_0 VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_5 %command%

then my fps went from 12 to 45 to 51 fps…and fbi lettering is restored as well, weird??

it looks like it disable vk_extension_mesh shader from use since vkd3d-proton is broken and bad news is its running 60% slower than windows 11 23h2 during testing both os…i lost fps is not cool dude who make vkd3d-proton 2.10, better fix it soon with next revison sooner

Still mostly spitballing but maybe it will get you going in the right direction or someone else can elaborate.

I don’t own the game so I can’t offer a lot of help but have you tried ProtonDB?

There are two posts saying that they needed to use an older version of Proton.

It doesn’t seem like there’s much else there or on the PCGamingWiki related to it besides the audio issue fixes.

Dumb question but were they common where you were when you were a kid?

Where did you get your bamboo rayon pillow cases?

What do you think is the coolest? I sleep on my side and find my face can get rather hot.

How long do you find buckwheat and feather pillows lasted you?
