  I bought a WiiU refurbished directly from Nintendo shortly before the Switch came out. I did it purely because the first big hax was released and I was able to easily port my GC\Wii hacked HDD to it AND also have WiiU games hacked games available. WW and TWP were also a big part of that purchase decision for me.

  I got a Switch and BotW ultimate CE on release, but will be skipping the S2 for some time. Likely until the next Zelda comes out if the Steam Deck can’t easily emulate other S2 titles by that time. I’m bummed I’ll be missing the new DK game (only 10GB file size though so not very big) and Hyrule Warriors game as the last one was amazing, but it’s a basic beat em up so no love really lost there.

  Not sure if you’ve de-googled yourself or not but there is a Google Drive Addon that has a whole slew of options for backing up your HA config. I’m sure there are alternate HA add-ons. This may require HACS but not certain.

  I’ve had two QNAP NAS fail on me, never again. The first failed shortly after the 3-year warranty expired. The second failed right before warranty expiration.

  Thankfully I was able to RMA to get my data back (proprietary RAID), and while waiting on RMA to return, built a custom TrueNAS server I can service all parts on myself for around the same cost of a new NAS. Sold the RMA unit on eBay to recoup some cost as well. All I ever ran on those units was Plex and Samba\NFS file shares. Never again.

  FOR NOW… My wife had to have them every year from 21-23, then every three years until she was 29. Then 5 years which she’s approaching now. If you have a medical history of needing them, you will likely need them again at some point.

  If you think steam deck is walled garden, I have news for you!

  Proton is amazing though. I got Lego LotR working on my steam deck by installing some DirectX 9 dependency to fix a graphical glitch with the game. Runs like a dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, that sucks but I run pihole on my network and don’t have any injected ads on my Samsung displays, and all base functionality I need works without issue.

  It’s literally maintained by Fedora. Not sure why he claimed that.
