In the same page,

> The MonoGame Foundation cannot directly give anyone access to the private console repositories without prior approval from the vendor due to NDA requirements set out by each vendor.

Blame here goes to Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft (though I'm not so sure about Microsoft)

This also applies to Godot, another open source game engine, which doesn't have any code for console support on its upstream repository.

I assume the locations are operating fine, since you can see the error pages. The culprit here is probably the Network, which at the time of writing, shows up as offline

Bottles is essentially a frontend for Wine, it lets you put every single app to its own WINEPREFIX, so that each one can have their own settings, C: drive, etc.

If you've heard of Lutris, Bottles is essentially the same thing, but aimed at general software instead of only focusing on games

I've been personally using a matrix bridge (self hosted instance of mautrix-whatsapp on a hetzner vps) and haven't opened the main whatsapp app on my phone (other than calls and some rare view-once images) for over a year now and haven't had any issues. While it's possible that this may result in an account termination, I doubt anything will happen if you don't use it for spam/other kinds of abuse

> (I wonder if Shizuku can be used to install apps without a PC? Haven't tried myself)

AFAIK Shizuku runs as the ADB user, with the same permissions, so it's very likely it can install apps without having to connect to a PC

I feel like it's an issue in the Google infrastructure as all services which are down seem to be related to Google.

Another example is the HN API, which runs on Firebase.

Looks like ALL Google services are inaccessible. (Search, Drive, YouTube, etc.)

This also happens to include the HN API which runs on Firebase

AFAIK, both of them coexist at the same time. I remember hearing about MyASUS before Armory Crate. I assume AC is used for their more gaming-related products while MyASUS is for general users

This wouldn't be possible, since Edge supports both Microsoft PlayReady and Google Widevine DRM schemes and as far as I know, Widevine's ChromeCDM is less secure in browsers (L3/software DRM) while PlayReady is more secure as it uses some hardware components.

Netflix probably uses PlayReady for 1080p+ content, but I don't have a Netflix account to test so I can't confirm
