Makes me glad my gaming rig is used exclusively for gaming.

    I'm glad the only Windows based parts of my OS are sandboxed away since I run Linux.

    Also I use a hardware wallet that can't be accessed when it's not plugged in to my computer.

    Now that BG3 has a native Linux release, I'll probably be killing my windows partition on that machine. I need to look into whether a proxmox VM can output directly to my GPU.

    These threat actors bypassed initial security screening from Valve which allowed the deployment of malicious patches and infected multiple users of the platform.

    Good call! Considering the initial safety check they do before approval this seems like the easiest way for it to happen
