GOG @lemmy.world

GOG survey: "My thoughts about games are connected to GOG, especially when it happens automatically."

The questions are so weird... And they repeat themselves.
"I feel I have a close relationship with GOG." followed by "I feel that I am personally connected to GOG. "

"GOG changes how it treats me" ... ??

Are they really asking for 25mn of my time for a survey badly made with AI?

  • I was living with roommates clueless about house maintenance stuff.
    So one day I explain we should purge the radiators. Did I forget to say "purge the air"? I dont know. But the bucket I told em to use to catch water spilling one roommate thought was supposed to be used to empty the radiators. I was on the computer and saw him from the corner of my eye go empty his bucket a few times before I caught on.

  • And you dont think that's really vague though?

    Why not mandate a x by x pixel popup with a specific wording?

    I remember this French company, I think SFR (phone), which had to show on their website their condemnation. Since there weren't clear specifications they made it so the message would disappear when you scrolled down one pixel, so almost no one saw it.

  • Acting like I'm spreading misinformation while your comment still clearly states it declines which it does not. I was correcting that part.

    Although I see how my comment could mean all cookies get accepted. Wasn't my intention

  • So really naive lawmakers then? Come on, that's not how you make a company obey, everyone knows that, yet legislators time and again do an oopsie and make a highly symbolic law that obviously won't work because there's no coercion!

  • "Make it easy"

    If you make a vague law that companies can circumvent they will do it.

    That's why you force the use of a standardized menu, because nothing else makes sense, no? The same way you don't leave it to the tobacco manufacturers to implement the warnings on the box ; you force them all to adopt the same one that's clearly visible.

    It feels like it's either severe incompetence, or the work of lobbyists. But I don't know enough about the matter

  • Why oh why didn't the lawmakers add an obligation to use a standardized cookies selection popup.

    I remember day one of it coming into effect and it was already obvious this was a necessity.

    Lobbying. One of those laws pretending to do the right thing but sabotaged.

    Or maybe its even worse than that. Before you could just have the cookies deleted. But if you do that now you get the awful popup every time, so you just accept them in the end.
    I know I do.
    This law has made me accept cookies spying.

  • I checked the drive's health with badblocks tonight, which wiped everything unfortunately.
    Then I tried another distro (Ubuntu) and the issue was gone.

    I didn't check the hash for failing files, but I downloaded with rsync also and the issue still happened.

    Thank you very much for your help though. When I find the time I'll reinstall Fedora, and if the issue repeats itself I'll do more tests.

  • Yeah I thought of checking dmesg too late, I was already running the - destructive - badblocks command...
    It is finishing I think, and found zero errors.
    My plan now is to install a different distribution to see if it makes a difference. I the error reappears I'll remember to check the logs.

  • Browsing and streaming no issues. Or any other daily computer task, all fine. No weird behavior, lags or freezes, nothing.

    I've checked the source files, they're ok. I've even downloaded them from another computer, and transferred them on the Thinkpad with a USB stick, and they can be opened normally. Downloads are coming from various websites, a VPS, a local server.

    badblock run

    I'll do that now.
    Thanks for the help!!!

    Files become corrupted but only when downloaded

    I've acquired a second hand Thinkpad T14 recently (gen 1, Intel version). Running Fedora Gnome.

    The SSD seems fine.
    I tested it with Gnome Disks; I filled the drive with files and checked their integrity; also copied files around, on drive and from USB. No issues.

    But many downloaded files become corrupted. The download finishes normally, but if If I try to open said files they fail (in the middle of a video for example) and if I copy them I get an "input/output" error.
    LAN or WAN, over ethernet or Wifi, it doesn't matter.

    Could it still be the SSD? Or maybe a driver issue?

    Thank you for reading!

  • I bought a Dualshock Dualsense because of the trackpad, didn't realize it didn't have replaceable batteries.
    Battery life is bad and it really annoys me.
    I think I'll try again to fix the stick drift on my Xbox controller...
