Well shoot. It’s my lucky day. And cross platform even! Thanks!

TrueCrypt, my beloved. Such an amazing set of features and super easy to use. I so wish there was a modern open-source equivalent with the same ease-of-use.

I think I remember seeing this when it was new. Oh no I’m old.
- Comment on Dragon Age veteran says scrapped Anthem Next "could have been" up there with No Man's Sky's legendary turnaround 1 week ago:
I’ve watched a few videos on the game and with this claim, I think they would have needed the ten years that NMS had, but there just isn’t as much of a unique idea underneath. Unless I was missing something Anthem was just a really pretty looter shooter with a cool suit.
It’s a pretty game, I’ll give it that, but they would have had to strip and rebuild the gameplay loop pretty much from scratch to make it that much of a success story.
- Comment on Looking for assistance on ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra 2 weeks ago:
Depending on who you’re with, you can try calling their support and explaining what you’re looking for. I always tell them “I need to disable routing and have my gateway act like a modem. It should give a public IP directly to my router.” This should explain in layman’s to any technician what you’re looking for and they’ll be able to tell you if it can be done. If you’re with a cable or DSL provider, also ask about options to provide your own equipment. This can save you money in the long run, too, if you’re renting the hardware through them at the moment.

Why do you think they put on the rubber suit?
- Comment on Looking for assistance on ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra 2 weeks ago:
Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but if your gateway from your ISP is also routing and handing out IPs, this is known as a double NAT and can cause all sorts of weird issues. If you’re going from your ISPs gateway to your own router, their device should be bridged so it acts like a static modem.

I made my own about 4 years ago and never looked back. Kind of nice having my own logo to identify with.
- Comment on Rockstar still hasn’t dropped a solid explanation for cutting loose 30+ GTA 6 devs. 2 weeks ago:
AI must be getting really good or this was posted really recently.
If this is AI, this is the newest example of “so good I can’t tell” territory. One of my usual checks is font consistency and this is super crisp throughout. Odd it doesn’t show up anywhere else on the Internet though.
Modern internet sucks to try and figure out what was and wasn’t made passionately by a human.

- Comment on The best Linux distributions for gaming in 2026 3 weeks ago:
I felt like they could have mentioned more than just Fedora and Bazzite. To my understanding, Endeavor and PopOS! are both serious contenders and they didn’t even get an honorable mention. I’m sure there’s others as well, but they just sort of act like there’s 1 best option.

- Comment on Scientists Made Glue So Strong, It Can Tow An Entire Car 3 weeks ago:
None of these metrics actually measure anything comparatively. They say things like it “tows a car” and “lifts 270lbs”, but under what circumstances? Surface area? Temperature? Sheer force?
There’s also no comparison against other adhesives to know how these values compare.
I don’t doubt it’s an impressive accomplishment. I just wish I could get an idea for how impressed I should be.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 3 weeks ago:
Unless you’re overlocking or just have really bad case design, either one will fair about the same. I went with an AIO purely for the aesthetic and haven’t had a single issue. Install was pretty easy too. I haven’t heard many horror stories of the AIO loops failing catastrophically but that’s anecdotal at best.

- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
In that case, based on the roughly 1.5 billion Windows users, that’ll only affect a mere 75 million users for a feature that’s been there since Windows 95.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
If they were using that data, then they would have included features people actually use in 10. Or maybe they’re just doing the inverse of whatever the data suggests.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 5 weeks ago:
Microsoft applied a data-driven approach to find out which features to add now, which features to add later, and which to completely avoid.
WHAT DATA?!
- Comment on Netflix acquires gaming avatar maker Ready Player Me 5 weeks ago:
This is just execs not understanding game engines again. This was supposed to be the original concept for NFTs and it’s still a bad idea for any game with artistic merit.
Even if you get past the technical reasons of why this won’t work well, artistically, your avatar will clash with any game that’s not targeting these avatars. And I bet that any game that does target itself to look good with these avatars will look worse for it.
You can’t just take a 3d model and slap it into a game world and expect it to look good everywhere because it looked good in one environment.
