Did you know there is potential for VM escape exploits? As long as a VM has direct access to your GPU, you can’t safeguard yourself completely. No matter what you do, you need to take self responsibility to ensure the software you run comes from a reputable source.

Granted, VM escape exploits targeting gamers is a very low possibility, but so is windows malware running in a linux userspace actually causing any harm.

Running pirated windows games via proton is quite secure. Spend the mental resources trying to be secure by checking the sources of your game files & cracks.

IIRC that’s been a known function of Edge ever since its redesign around 5-6 years ago, regardless of whether you’re signed in all URLs go to Microsoft in plaintext

What a shame this will certainly flop, not that the price is unexpected in these times but given the first steam machine you hate to see it go down the same way

Definitely not the asshole. It’s not your problem that your job doesn’t have 100% uptime. Where I am we don’t have fantastic work protections or anything but at least we legally can’t be compelled to take our rest breaks in segments (or multiple breaks together at once). Unfortunately this sounds to not be the case where you are so do what you need to do to keep your job if you need it, but no way in hell should you feel bad. Hope you have better days soon.
