There are surface mount boxes.

GOG for offline games, Steam games that are online multiplayer or can benefit from cloud saves.

Gigabit ethernet uses all 8 wires on the cable. If you have no or bad signal on one of them then it would explain the negotiation to 100Mbps. Do you have a cable tester?

Noita, Slay the Spire, Children of Morta, Brotato...

For me what made a huge difference was adding acid, specially for stews. A hearty splash of vinegar or soy sauce while stewing, or even a dash of lime just before serving takes it from "meh" to "seconds please!".

Betteridge's law of news headlines strikes again!

Retaliate with Pakleds!
