I use a PS5 controller connected through an 8bitdo USB adapter 2. It works great and has a much more stable connection compared to the bluetooth adapter I used to use. I’ve had no issues using it in xinput mode on Linux; games pick it up as a normal xbox controller and just work. The adapter also works great for bringing your own contoller to friends’ houses for any console party games without having to do the bluetooth pairing roundup minigame. The only real issues I have with it is that there’s no auto disconnect when it’s idle, and as you mentioned the firmware flashing tools are all Windows only.

Add-ons work just fine. You can even get a native version of the add-on manager Minion from Flathub. Not all of addons support the gamepad input mode, but that’s the same situation it is on Windows.

I use gifski

It’s designed to squeeze the best quality possible out of the ancient format that is gif

To be fair on most Android devices sideloading isn’t a very meaningful term, but on locked down devices like iOS it is.

If the breached data contains your account passwords, cryptography keys, credit card info, etc you should update and invalidate that information. Once that data is out there, there isn’t really anything else you can do but make that data no longer useful.

Damn after 2 years had passed from the release on Epic Games I thought they just weren’t going to bring it to Steam at all so I went to the high seas.

Closest thing I know of would be SimulaVR.

No, this is for game developers to make it easier to add more realistic sound propagation to their games, particularly for virtual reality games.

If it’s only 3d printed plastic, yes. Most “3d printed guns” are like Glocks. Metal for the important bits, plastic for everything else.

While Vendetta may still work for now, the devs have officially stopped working on Vendetta as of February 6th

The LCD panels that typical resin printers use do have an expected lifespan. I wouldn’t advise eating into that just for post-curing prints.

Not sure if you’re sticking with World Tour specifically for your mods but Clone Hero has a native Linux build. There’s also rips of nearly every Guitar Hero and Rock Band game that you can add to it.

You should also be able to set the SDL_AUDIODRIVER environment variable to pipewire to get this effect globally.

uBlock Origin does actually block network requests before they leave your browser. The main difference is that Pi-hole can block requests from any application on all your networked devices. Theoretically you can achieve the same effect of a Pi-hole with a hosts file (except DNS caching), but that would involve setting up and maintaining one on every device you own… if that’s even possible (looking at you, Android and IOS)
