I think I may start doing that just so whoever I use as a host can be bound to my personal address, and I won't have to pay for more storage to get an extra alias.

Exactly, the fact that my paid email wasn't approved, but the crap I have only ever used to download Minecraft updates with worked fine.

I'm sure GMail woukd have worked, too, but I delted that after they had demanded an ID for YouTube to watch a music video and then again for Voice where I've had the same active number since the service launched.

Steam support.

I had to make a hotmail account because they swore my personal email was a "throwaway" acount and refused to use it.

I mean, what kind of derp is that?

You have an account with nearly two thousand games on it you don't use a spam service for recovery.

And if a "free" email from Be Evil, Inc. and Microslop counts for recovery damn near anything should.

Unless you use an email provider they don't recognize and refuse to update it.

It maxes at 4TB, same as my tablet, put the games and programs on the 2TB SSD and drop all the media on the 2TB SD, Kodi picks up the external media fine and moving all my music and videos to the card keeps the internal down.

I do need to dump a lot of stuff to put something new on, pretty much the largest I keep installed is No Man's Sky, keep wanting to replay BG3 but haven't because it is over 150 GB all on its own.

Seems the Linux native stuff takes a LOT less space, unless it's an AppImage or one of those crappy Flatpaks, but even with Linux increasing in popularity not a lot of devs bother with adding a port since "Just run it through Proton" is the accepted answer now.

It still works well enough still from me helping my kid set up theirs, though I do hope they update it again, maybe with a 2280 slot for a larger storage capacity as the 2TB max of a 2230 even when you upgrade it is kinda meh for PC games that can easily break 100GB.

Meanwhile the flipping Deck is *still* out of stock.

Maybe get some Decks back in, first...
