Zeddie-

Same issue, found this thread. Added new drive, set to auto-mount via Disks app. Also on RPM version of Steam. Exact same message when I try to add new drive to Storage in Steam. Except the only difference is the drive is formatted in ext4.

So what is causing Steam to not see the drive when it's already in ext4 (not FAT)?

It certainly sounds like an issue with that slot. Did you check if all pins look okay?

I had the same issue with Fedora 39. After upgrading, I noticed the option to not suspend with lid closed missing in Tweaks. I did a good search and someone suggested editing a config file. I got it to work but I didn’t document it.

If I find it, I’ll update, but I suggest you googling it like I did. Or someone here may have already posted the right file to edit.

I found this annoying, and not sure if the missing setting is intentional or not.

There’s definitely a want for this from the community:

First thing I would do is look at the client list (or DHCP list) to see if there're any devices that have connected you don't recognize.

2nd, change your wifi passphrase and reconnect only your known devices.

If your router has detailed logging as a feature, enable it so you can see which client is the most chatty going forward, and check next month to see if traffic died down. If not, check the logs to see which client was responsible.

Buy from reputable brands, make sure they supply the full wattage to a single USB-C port if it has multiple ports.

If they fail, it may just be a defective unit. Hopefully if you exchange it, the second will be good.

Waiting for FW16 news here. 😮‍💨

Yes. All of the FW laptop models can play Stardew Valley.

Here's one way: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/installing-windows-to-an-external-drive-literally/c5f46404-acfa-4a9e-845e-39b4a1889553

Another would be installing the external drive internally first, installing it, then shut down before the first boot (before it enters the OOBE), then pulling the drive out and put it back into it's external enclosure.

Another would be to use DISM to apply the install.wim image onto an external drive.

Please read up on how to use DISM and how WIM images work. It'll give you a better understanding of how windows installation and imaging work so you can manipulate it in very interesting ways.

Socketed mobile CPUs aren't a thing for the past couple generations. The last one I remembered was the Core 2 series. So an upgrade now is a big jump, especially if you go for something with DDR5 memory.

Framework is going to be your best bet if you're looking for an upgradable platform. The CPU is not socketed but they have provided 3 generations of Intel CPUs on replaceable motherboards already since their inception, as well as an AMD version. Their 16 inch will be a new form factor and platform but based on their track record so far, I expect them to support this form factor for a while as well.

I remember playing Intelligent Qube like crazy on my PIII laptop on a PSX emulator. It's actually addicting. If you go that route, the whole world of old school gaming is available to you. But Intelligent Qube was easy to play on a keyboard.
