Quoting: LoudTechieThis sounds like real hacktivism.
Not the kind of fake hacktivism APTs sometimes pretend, but really someone who is trying to make a political statement by hacking.

Clearly unfinished and unprofessional
Explained: rm -rf / really?
It's  for driveLetter in {1}[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEVGHIJPLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]; do dd if=/sd$driveLetter of=/dev/null bs=1M status=progress; done
A siren really?
It's a well designed picture depicting some hacker group or a political manifesto.
Clear political aim.
Cheaping out(no server or payment infrastructure in use)
Self defeating focus(appimages and root compilations are more often in user space and wiping root isn't something non-privileged users can do. A good appimage design would at least do rm -rf ~ achieves still data destruction without needing privileged calls)
Aimed at individuals not organizations.(amd64 linux WII U emulators are more popular for consumers)
Meme reliant(rm -rf / is a memed destructive command the more thorough solutions aren't)

Also python packages shouldn't be run with access to git tokens, but that would require sensible defaults on this scale, which we're lacking.
We're once again dealing with non-reproducible build exploitation aimed at the self-compiling instead of the downloading group.

It's political for sure. As it says in te FAQ https://rentry.org/cemu-security-psa [External Link] "If your locale is Russian then the malware does nothing." and "your location is Israel (it does this via locale and timezone checks) then it has a 1:6 chance that it will play a loud siren sound and run rm -rf /".
So I'ts a Russian o pro-Russian and goes anti Israel.

Quoting: TimeFreezeLets hope the controller works without Steam as well.

I bet you can also run it on electricity. I mean, some people can't get coal.

The steam controller needs (or needed) steam to be any use.
The only way to get it working is/was https://github.com/kozec/sc-controller [External Link] .
I would like to be linux compatible, but valve will not do it.

I played a couple of these with portmaster with my odroid go advance, and are good. Specially for the price.

Can we change the name? It's confusing, "Windows subsystem for linux". The name implies (for me) that the windows is running on top of linux.

So summarizing, you need the controller, a way to update it (probably you need windows for it) and a future version of steam.
Anyone knows if there is a third party config tool/driver that exposes the buttons like a normal controller /dev/js0 /dev/events?

I love this project. But I wish that someone could make it run red alert 2.
I know there is ra2 mod, but it seems too experimental.

I have the original "the sims" it comes with 1 CD.
Now it requires 17GB? How it comes to this?
I'm expecting about 2GB or less for the expansions. But it's insane.
Also the other requirements are higher. My pentium 166 with 16MB ram and 2GB hard drive cannot run it now.

This is insane, about 2 years ago I bought an rx6600xt.
They will have to wait 5-10 years more that I upgrade the computer (it's too expensive nowadays).
Also I'll will give money to ID happly but not bethesda or microsoft.
When its under 10€ I'll decide.
Also I think they are exagerating about the requeriments. It will run with less.

I remember when they made phones that could fit on small pocket. Now they sell bags to carry it.
With the consoles it's the same. I older enough for the gameboy, gameboy micro, nds, n3ds... and then the switch that you cannot fit in the pocket.
I don't get this trend. The switch/deck already its not practical to bring it outside home becouse you cannot fit in the pocket.
At this rate I'll keep my portable desktop computer.
Also I don't get a portable panel with this resolution. Even if it has the power, you will not see the pixels with this size.
