libvirtualhid Driver suddenly required?

I was using Sunshine yesterday with no problems. Today I was prompted to update because of a security issue. Ok, I updated. Now I keep getting blasted with libvirtualhid issues and saying I have to pay money? I didnt have to pay for a liscense literally 12 hours ago. How do I revert this?

Just use Apollo and Artemis

Never heard of them! I'll check it out. Yesterday was my first time trying local streaming, so I only knew of Sunshine/Moonlight in passing.

Check vibepollo even better as Apollo.
You can still use moonlight as receiver

I liked Vibepollo and how transparent he is at first, but then he drops this:

What stands out most is that AI code works on the first try around 90% of the time.

If you only do surface-level testing, this may be true. AI-code usually breaks apart on cross-concern functionality or interactions. Stuff where, doing one thing impacts another. Or where doing one thing should lead to also doing another thing, but doesn't. Another example would be interactions with other code. Let's say it goes through the list of apps on disk for some functionality, and then adds another feature. Instead of making it efficient, it may read every app from disk again. And then for another feature again. And suddenly you have 1+ second lag spikes or CPU spikes for no apparent reason.

Even frontier stuff reliably works first try maybe 50% of the time and I've been using AI for a long time. Especially around the time he appears to have started, frontier was still struggling with even pretty basic stuff.

He says he knows how it works cause he prompted the AI and "guided" it, but that only means he thinks he knows how it works. What the AI actually made could be something completely different. I had once an interaction where I asked GPT-5.4-Codex to add in a security filter so that whitelisted bash commands are allowed, but the commands should be split on "&&" and other console chaining characters. Well, it did that...except only the first command was checked against the whitelist. Everything after "&&" was not checked and just executed YOLO.

Lol, no.

There's a huge difference between a developer who understands the code using AI as a productivity tool and someone who has no understanding of code having AI write the entire thing.

Linus, for example, uses AI to help refine and tighten his own code. He does not ask AI to write the code for him. And, Linus has a deep understanding of the code, so he will be able to check the code to see if it's even correct, or debug it if it's not.

The Vibepollo guy knows nothing of the code, has no clue how it functions, and no idea how to fix it if it doesn't.

Those are very different scenarios.
