Well in my free time this evening, reinstalling windows on a new boot drive in a friends 8yo PC, i think thats the issue with it.

Security wise i might upgrade my plex server(running on a windows 10 hp laptop) to windows 11 hopefully to make it more secure. Ever since i opened port 32400 for plex streaming i have gotten daily notifications saying they blocked another known malicious IP...

Ive read mixed reviews on how much reliance i should put on plex to keep my network secure with that open port. Also, my windows admin account on that pc doesnt have a password to login...

If i am being wreckless and you have security recommendations with justification/reasoning... Please feel free to comment.

Teamviewer is free for personal/private use, is super secure and easy to set up.

I use it between my computers and even from my phone with(mediocre) touch controls without issue.

Try to flatten the metal bead back into a 90 degree as best as you can(hammer with flat wood?) then shape with some Bondo or drywall mud, whatever looks good enough to you.

Once its painted again, you wont even notice if its not perfect.

If you dont care about high settings at high resolutions in AAA games, then its absolutely the best gaming option out there.

I do say people should be willing to tinker with the software if they want to get some more obscure, abandoned or emulated titles working though, thats the only caveat.

Key word, "Almost"

Yeah i assume ubisoft thinks they can get some of that good will by embedding their drm straight into their games where the layfolk will notice it less.

Clearly it worked for the idiots who titled this article and reposted it.

This is a falsely misleading article, the launcher and login requirement are all there, theyre just not a separate install anymore.

Thank you for this

Ive posted about this before, but yeah the subscription multiplayer model is probably the biggest hurdle keeping xbox games from going fully cross compatible with pc, even more than the technical challenges.

Microsoft could dump funds into a compatibility layer making xbox games work via their UWP-based App store, but they cant because of what that means for their monetization of multiplayer.

People wont welcome them charging for multiplayer on games theyre playing on their PC, so MS would rather focus on a streaming only future, where subscription is mandatory to play.

They will never be good guy Microsoft unless forced. I dont think theyre desperate enough to eliminate the multiplayer subscription, and they will probably liquidate the brand before they ever give up that income stream.

Its not enough, my steamdeck streams xbox games just fine. Unless their pc handheld simultaneously offers near 100% pc game compatibility with an interface as easy to use as steamOS... They wont make a splash with this product(at ~$500).

That probably doesnt matter because this device is just a brand teamup MS thinks is warming people up to the idea of an xbox handheld, when in reality I think it will dilute its reception.
