We know this model has been a key part of the Affinity offering and we are committed to continue to offer perpetual licenses in the future. 

If we do offer a subscription, it will only ever be as an option alongside the perpetual model, for those who prefer it.

Seems to be the key take away based on comments from similar posts. The wording is a bit more explicit here.

I’m always weary of the never-ending march towards everything monopolizing into like three companies, but it seems like this might not be so bad, at least for the near future.

It’s worth mentioning that the biggest concern, depending on your country, is getting in trouble with your ISP. That’s where a VPN comes to play.

Funnily enough, it went the opposite way for me. I had a decent sex education but then came the internet.

If you don’t have a 3D printer, you can buy the jig for like $5 online. Then it’s just a matter of sliding the jig into the joycon port and rebooting… bam hacked switch.

Feliz Navidad is the only Christmas song that I don’t utterly despise. Perhaps because none of the places I worked at that played music when I was younger ever had it on the rotation, I can appreciate that it’s super catchy and fun.

All other Christmas music makes a holly jolly boy a sour Scrooge.

That’s the cool part, it doesn’t.

I like the two USBC ports so I don’t have to continuously swap out my PS4 ssd and PSVR. That said, if the “detachable disk drive” uses one of the USBC ports… meh.

Put it in your wishlist so you get a notification when it’s on sale. I bought it like six years ago for $2.99.

I really enjoyed it for that price. I get why people didn’t like it on release because it literally took me about three hours to play the game twice to get the platinum trophy, so I won’t lie and say I wouldn’t be miffed for paying $60 for a game that can be beaten during a smoke break. But for $3, I had my fun. The setting was cool and I wouldn’t mind seeing a sequel to it.

I mostly liked it. The joke that got me the hardest was probably the robot standup comedian.

My only complaint really was that they pulled an “oh no fry is dead but wait he’s not” again which the writers really started to like to do in like every other episode after the first reboot, so I hope this doesn’t become a running theme in every episode.

Please let me know if this community doesn't allow tech-support type of questions, I couldn't find a decently populated community on lemmy for this sort of question and I don't want to go crawling back to Reddit to ask.

Anyway, I have used iCloud Private Relay since it became available on WiFi with Macbook Pro. It works fine as expected, unless I enable my VPN, which is understandable.

Today, I bought a bunch of ethernet cables and a TP-Link semi-managed network switch (TL-SG108E, it has some configuration options but works out of the box as an unmanaged switch) with the intention of upgrading my network so things like the PS5, my home server, and my Macbook dock have wired connections.

Upon getting everything set up, I realized the Macbook was still using the WiFi, so I disabled WiFi, and lo' and behold, no internet. Strangely, I can ping everything on my network fine, and access all my self-hosted stuff. I just can't get out of my network. Figured it might be something with my Pihole. Or, worse case scenario, a dud switch.

Bunch of bullshitting later with no success, I, on a hunch, went into my iCloud settings and disabled private relay, and immediately I have internet access. Everything is working as it should.

So... am I missing something? Why would the sole change of plugging my Macbook into a switch via ethernet break private relay? For that matter - what is private relay doing that could possibly break internet access? If it works on WiFi, I can't figure out what switching to a wired connection, or the introduction of a switch, could do to cause it stop working.

Lastly, any advice to get it working again? Some configuration somewhere I'm overlooking?
