sadly, no. Anticheat Systems are designed to be paranoid as fuck. So even some readout of the hardware used that WINE handles a tad differently than Windows might trip it.

That’s what happens around any toilet in a 2km radius when Taco Bell has a major sale.

How are you getting change?

What good is cash gonna do if the networked cash register doesn’t open anymore?

Shit… I can’t believe that the author let us hanging like this… Stupid cliffhangers!

How did they get up there in the first place?!

Back in the day, when I installed my very first Linux OS, I had a wireless stick from Netgear. Wireless Drivers back then were abysmal, so I had to compile them from source (literally 15 mins after seeing a TTY for the first time).
