maybe because anyone who has played Need For Speed instantly thinks of this song instead.

TIL about Michael Cox, a Police Officer that was "misidentified" by his fellow officers as a suspect and brutally beaten. He was left bleeding and they did not report the incident. in c/til@lemmy.world

8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
[–] MycarHolmes@quokk.au 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

maybe it is (don't have my deck with me to check) but even so, it is not an officially supported tool and I can see from issues on Github that people cannot find their controllers on there. not sure if that's very old or very new ones.

So how do you update firmware with just a Steamdeck? 8bitdo does not seem to supply Linux software support anymore, so it feels a bit hilarious that they support SteamOS without any official way of updating controllers there.

I found the fwupd tool on github, but it seems a hacky way that cannot update everything. Can the 8bitdo tool be run via proton/wine?

not sure I misunderstand but it is not I cannot solve them, they don't let me solve them. e.g. I select everything correct and it still doesn't confirm the solution.

GOG using Captchas when redeeming codes (quokk.au)
 

I am redeeming many codes from game giveaways like on Amazon Prime on GOG and recently ran into the issue that what feels like half the time I have to solve a captcha to redeem the code.

I am not even "spamming" codes, it is like once a week two to three codes. The problem is that the type of captcha GOG uses is very very often completely unsolvable. I have to skip through many until I find one that I have the experience that it will work.

Is there any way around that? I cannot believe people would be spamming codes so much that redeeming them should require captchas.
