So I wonder what my copy from rockstar will do now, it worked like a week ago under wine(single player). I bought it before it was available on steam unfortunately.

That said gta online was never good so idgaf about that part but Battle eye isnt going to do shit so sucks for those that do care.

Cat8 is pointless with gigabit equipment as far as speed goes. Cat6 will do 10gig, you just had bad cables.

Abp is complete garbage. Use Ublock origin.

Meanwhile you can bypass uac(as an admin user) using the fucking help window. They're all over the place.

He doesn't have to do fuck all. Of all the game developers he doesn't owe anyone shit. He made an amazing game that was his personal project then continued to support it for years when he didn't have to and never charged for added content. If you have a problem with the game that bad then find another one. Vote with your wallet. That said fuck the doxxers, everyone involved is just being shitty.

Play protect is fucking trash but it's something I guess

Up and down preferably, anything else is just worse.

Otherwise overridable by user preference would be great.

That really is clever. Imagine if they put that kinda thinking into making their product better instead.

Using the firewall to force dns because the services were stupid enough to rely on dns to determine location. You would use a (usually paid) dns service hosted out of the wherever the content you want was and get access to region locked stuff like the US netflix library from abroad. This worked because vpns were being detected and rokus dns was hard coded so assumed to be trusted.

I don't know if this still works because I no longer own anything Roku and Netflix's service hasn't been worth that kind of shenanigans for a long time. It likely doesn't work anymore.

Edit: Unblock-US used to be such a service

One reason used to be to switch to a different region for Netflix, etc but I'm not sure if that still works, I haven't had to use a Roku in a long time.
