I have a system on which I’d like to keep Stream Deck around if and when I need it. That’s not every day, so I’d rather it doesn’t remind me of an update every day or lurk around in the background when the device isn’t even connected. Hence I’d like to disable it from automatically … Read more
In this article I’ll show you how to disable auto updates in GOG Galaxy and show you how to downgrade to an older version of this game. A little background on why I wanted to do this first though: Like many other gamers, I’ve been plagued with a bug that’s inherent to Cyberpunk 2077: crashes … Read more

One of the Linux features I love the most is how you can easily map your content locations to directories. Be that with physical drives or via symbolic links. I had no idea these concepts even existed in Windows (much like File Permissions – who would have thought). Thanks to one of my Ko-fi supporters, … Read more
I’ve recently given Fedora a spin on my MacBook Pro (2011 vintage). While it installed fine, the WiFi card inside it was not recognised by default.
