  • Don’t skip the dialogue, even if you use subtitles and are a fast reader. It sometimes switches from one sentence at a time to whole chunks of dialogue and action getting skipped. Plus, the voice acting is superb, and the physical reactions of characters can convey a lot of emotion.

    Apart from White Orchard, you shouldn’t need to complete all side quests in your area before moving on. Particularly with witcher gear, it’s sometimes expected to need to come back at a later time when you’re more powerful.

    Others may disagree, but I don’t bother dismantling gear and weapons. I find it simpler to just sell things and buy materials I need from vendors.



  • CUPS is installed on the majority of desktop systems. One of the listed CVEs indicates that port 631 is by default open to the local network, so if you connect to any shared network (public WiFi, work/school network, even your home network if another compromised device gets connected to it) you’re exposed. Or a browser flaw or other vulnerability could be exploited to forward a packet to that port.

    In other words: While access to port 631 is required first, the severity of the vulnerability lies in how damn easy it is to take over a system after that. And the system can be re-compromised any time you print something, making this a persistent vector.
