Yikes, that article is pretty over the top. It could collapse the internet? Nah…

It’s not the 8BitDo controller, but I have a GuliKit King Kong 2 controller and I bought the Xbox button kit. Works like an absolute dream on Linux.

Choosing Next OS in c/[email protected]

I disagree. I’ve blindly updated every day for 5 years and not once had a failure. In the one or two times something went sideways, a quick check of the wiki got me up and running with very little fuss.

I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. in c/[email protected]

It hasn’t made a difference for me, I’m on Verizon if that matters. I’ve got Wireguard set to always on and all traffic but I still get the usage notifications. IIRC there’s a separate apn for any traffic that goes through the hotspot or tethering connection and that’s how it’s monitored. The traffic will be encrypted, but they can still see it.

Doesn't matter, it still gets flagged as hotspot traffic.
