Well I am not him, so I can't tell you whether or not he actually "could" have figured it out. The options to figure it out did exist, but he chose not to use them giving it the appearance that he "couldn't". Are you this much fun at parties?

And they are doing the exact same thing with Edge that they were taken to court for over Windows Explorer. They have been and always will be a shit company.

Yup. Got locked out myself since I only play on a linux machine. Yeah rockstar you can fuck right off.

I guess it depends on where you work. This was a large datacenter for a very large health insurance company. They made it a point later that day to remind people that it was a fireable offense to mess with production machines like that on purpose. And evidently the service he disabled was critical enough that it didn't take long for the hammer to come down. There were plenty of ways to find out who owned the machine, he just chose the easiest and got fired on the spot for it.

My distro had an update for cups, so I am guessing people are already on this. Pop Os is what I just loaded on this machine.

A guy in our data center couldn't figure out who owned a particular machine that he needed to work on. So his solution to figure it out was to let them come to him. He went and pulled out the network cable and waited. He was escorted out a little while later. The moral of the story is don't go disabling production machines on purpose.

Maybe you should have phrased it "that showed" instead. That would have made it a little clearer.

Huh? They are all wearing harnesses and the middle guy is where you can see they are clipped in.

One thing here bisby left off. If you check the villager and they are selling Mending books, don't break the lectern. Find a new villager. :) Also, I have had some luck finding silk touch pickaxes in things like sunken ship chests, or buried treasure chests. You can also try fishing one up, but you better like fishing. It's my happy place, so I have fished up a lot of them over the years over thousands of hours just fishing. It relaxes me for some reason.

Or my car...

Not going to hold my breath after getting a 'fuck you very much' reply from their tech support.

I totally get where you are coming from and hope I didn't come across as a dick. Going back to the example of my daughter, I would be equally terrified of her getting any size displacement bike if she can't get her temper in check, and I hope that switch from passenger to driver on a motorcycle would give her the focus to mentally chill out. To your point, kids get these large displacement bikes and then decide that they are not only invincible, but the baddest thing on the planet and end up learning the hard way that they are neither of those two, and large displacement bikes are like magnets to that personality. I completely agree with you too, if you can get the 600cc bike and be responsible, then eventually when you feel like it's not a danger, move up to something larger. All good advice and replies here.

So the deciding factor in my opinion becomes, how mature are you on a bike? Do you give in easily to the show off mentality, or are you hot tempered? If you can keep things on an even keel and not get out of control then either one would be fine. The problem I have with comments from the person above is that it makes it sound like you are safer on the 600cc bike, and believe me, you can kill yourself just as easily on either bike. My daughter wants to buy a bike, and she has been on the back of my bike(s) for thousand upon thousands of miles, so she knows how it feels and what to expect, but I had a very frank discussion with her that she cannot get on a bike and ride it like she currently drives. She gets a little road rage at times, and that really isn't going to work on a motorcycle, assuming you want to be an old rider. I guess my whole point of this ted talk is that if and only if you feel like you are responsible enough (good word that Fecundpossum used) then get the one that you like and speaks to you. Just remember that you don't have to run full throttle, there is a middle ground.

They have definitely convinced me to never buy anything they make. I have too many other games in my library, so they can just piss right off.

Well they are still selling in-game money without letting anyone know that they possibly cannot use it. But guess what rockstar, if I have to choose between your games and Linux, Linux wins every time. Later...

Yup. I put in a ticket with Rockstar and here is their official reply. TLDR: Fuck off.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

We certainly understand that you are unable to login to GTA online through Steam Deck after the update.

We would like to inform you that the primary goal of incorporating BattlEye into GTA Online is to enhance the overall gaming experience by actively scanning for cheats and exploits, and preventing players with cheats and mods from entering online. The Steam Deck players will not be able to join GTA Online but should be able to launch single-player without any issues. we appreciate your understanding in this matter.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know. We are here to assist you.

Best regards,

M______. Rockstar Support

So I guess those of us who would just go to a friend only server immediately upon starting the game, are fucked now if we are using linux. What a bunch of shit.

Yeah, that is bedrock edition, and it's crazy how poorly it runs on the Switch natively. It has just gotten progressively worse as we go along. Each update comes with a new batch of shit that doesn't work. For instance, you used to be able to drop out of the game and go to your screenshots on the Switch, then pop back into the game. If you do that now, it immediately disconnects you from the realm or any network connected instance when you pop out of the game. I have disconnected from a lot of games by accidentally hitting the wrong button when I meant to just take a screenshot. It didn't do that in the past, but they fucked it up one update and have just never bothered to fix it. And they obviously aren't doing any kind of thorough testing as that would have come up. They just ignore their Jira ticketing system.

The version I prefer isn't available anymore, and the only way you can play it is if you had it originally as it has been removed from the store. If your account doesn't have the Switch edition, you are out of luck because they insisted that bedrock had to be the only one available, so Switch Edition had development halted and then eventually wiped from the store. Sucks, because that version was so much better as far as performance and gameplay goes.

Are you talking about Bedrock edition on the Switch, because that I believe? It's a complete shitshow and all anyone can purchase anymore on the Switch. I am talking about pre-Bedrock, Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition. It had none of the issues that they have introduced with Bedrock. And in my opinion the fishing mechanic on the Switch Edition was awesome. It just felt right.
