No. It says it right in the name. No Stupid Questions /s

So once I see an ad, I know that the video has peaked and can stop watching? Cool

Nintendo is, as ever, a shitty company for the community. I understand that they hold the nostalgia carrot over everyone’s head (or at least those over a cetain old age)

Why must you hurt me in this way? 🥲

Seriously though, I love your posts. Keep up the good work! 😁

Thank you

Be careful, I hear there are yetis about

I’ll deal with those murderous trolls

Thaedil’s balls are no longer missing a texture

Finally, the game is playable!

Is this a scene from Drive?

Thanks, I’ll try that!

It might be easier to just find another windows device to do the job tho

Yeah, I think that’s what I’ll need to do. I found a guide here detailing how to decrypt a bitlocker encrypted drive, I’ll give that a go when I’m able to borrow a windows machine

Also, if you dont wanna install gparted

I want to, but the steam deck isn’t having it. It’s arch based, so need to use pacman, but that just gives an error when I try

Having a look around on that link, when I try to download DART, I’m asked to log in with a work or school account, personal ones aren’t allowed. It also sounds like it needs a subscription. So, not sure if this will work for me, or if I just clicked the wrong thing.

I did find an article here that details how to decrypt a drive that’s been encrypted with bitlocker, do you think that would work?

Is the disk encrypted? If so, do you have the key?

I believe it is encrypted, but I was able to get the key from my Microsoft account

you may need to make a DART disk + computer + encryption key to get at your data

I’ll have to have a proper look into that, I’ve never done anything like that before. Thank you for the suggestion!

Ok, there’s an entry in my Microsoft account for bitlocker for my laptop, and I can see the recovery key. How do I use it to decrypt the drive though?

gparted isn’t preinstalled, unfortunately. But when I use the command lsusb, I do see an entry for NVME adapter so it is recognising it

I don’t know if it was encrypted. I don’t think I set it to be, does windows do it automatically?

Do you have the recovery key for your drive?

Where would I find that? It’s the drive that came with the laptop

I don’t think I turned on encryption, unless it’s on by default in windows 10?

Where did you expect it to pop up

I expected it to show up under external devices on the steam deck

does the same work with other drives or usb sticks?

Unfortunately I don’t have any others that I can try with

What type of SSD was in your laptop?

It’s a 1T M.2 PCIe SSD

Whats the model name of the enclosure/adapter you are using

It’s a FIDECO M.2 NVMe Enclosure

Was your laptop running windows?

Yes, it was running Windows 10

This is the laptop, if that helps: Link

It’s a 1T M.2 PCIe.

This is the laptop, if that helps: Link

And this is the enclosure I have: Link

Yes! I followed the instructions on there and the game started, but crashed pretty soon after

Awesome!
