If you’re just looking for older games like Skyrim, the Framework 13 AMD is a beast. Especially if you get the new AI 300 chipset.

Window heat pumps are coming, they’re just barely starting to hit the market. It would be a great solution for future rentals.

Unfortunately just research unless it is stated on the Steam page.

I avoid anything with kernel level anti-cheat. It is a theoretical attack vector - if the anti-cheat were somehow compromised, you’ve granted it low-level access to your system so whatever payload it is injecting would have that same level of access.

Even if you only play the single player part of a game the anti-cheat will be installed and running in the background.

I’m one of those freaks who plays retro games with scalers like xbrz rather than using scanlines, but this still seems like a raw deal. These shaders are super popular, and if they can’t fix an advertised feature they should be offering refunds to anyone who wants it.

I was going to say, I’ve been playing fine with no issues but it looks like it’s specifically tied to touch input.

I love the 8bitdo Pro 2. No connection issues in either Xinput or DirectInput mode. Battery life is great and it can run on the included battery pack which will charge via USB-C or AAs that will actually extend the battery life.

The issue you’re highlighting is due to the difference between metal and plastic. I have an Orca bottle that has a plastic lid that screws on without any rubber gasket and I end up with shreds of plastic in the bottle.

Plastic rubbing on metal leads to the plastic degrading and metal on metal does not make a good seal, so I think a rubber gasket is your only option.

It’s also so slow to answer basic questions.
