He’s right. We don’t need maps bigger than Skyrim, we just need content and good core gameplay loops. Being hugely moddable like Skyrim really helps too.

Implying that the Republicans now “stand for the little guys” is dumb but also arguably true

How is it true exactly? Republicans do not care about the little guys in any way lol

The weird thing is like, this whole situation could have been avoided if he just played the game normally rather than pretending to be some god gamer at it.

and people form some stupid reason just lap it up

Stupid people love being stupid. Ignorance is bliss, after all.

I use it for Plex/Jellyfin, it’s the cheapest NVIDIA GPU that supports both AV1 encoding and decoding, even though Plex doesn’t support AV1 yet IIRC it’s still more futureproof that way. I picked it up for like around $200 on a sale, it was well worth it IMO.

64GB would be a nice amount of memory to have. I’ve been okay with 32GB so far thankfully.

Not anymore. My main self-hosting server is an i7 5960x with 32GB of ECC RAM, RTX 4060, 1TB SATA SSD, and 6x6TB 7200RPM drives.

I did used to host some services on like a $5 or $10 a month VPS, and then eventually a $40 a month dedi, though.

Don’t we all.

I think this meme would work better in reverse lol

Plus folks of similar mental capability refrained from voting in the first place, when they could have prevented this.

Except drivers are designed to interact with hardware and to make it usable, kernel-level anticheats are designed to specifically scan/block/etc software. They are pretty different with their intended purposes, even though they offer the same/similar invasiveness.

I guess what I’m saying is if this information was being sent across a network, that would be detectable.

If you are constantly monitoring 24/7/365, sure. We don’t know how often it would send it if it does, it would require reverse engineering and intense monitoring. Also, even if they aren’t doing it now doesn’t mean they can’t easily add it in a patch.

It’s generally not worth trusting IMO.

Well that sucks. I haven’t bought an XPS since the Dell XPS 15z like over a decade ago, but still, the idea that I could buy an XPS Developer Edition laptop and have it be Linux compatible without having to think about it was nice. Now I’m limited to ThinkPads and System76 plus whatever other compatible Clevos there are or maybe a Framework, which I guess is fine since I do own multiple ThinkPads.

Still, really weird decision.

True but the title said emulation so I had to correct OP anyway lol

They are similar, but generally emulators have a higher run-time cost - this is because they are “emulating” an entire system, not just translating system calls. By cost, I mean performance of course. Emulators typically simulate/mimic other hardware, whereas translation layers just convert the system calls to be run natively on your existing hardware (which means your CPU architecture must match, etc).

Wine is far faster than regular emulation would traditionally be.

I’m thinking this lawsuit will be more about how they wronged creators, and less about how they wronged customers. I don’t expect there to be any justice or concern for the customers who were wronged. Therefore, I agree with TAG, I would worry that them losing would set a bad precedent, and possibly make it so that tampering with referral codes, tracking links, etc isn’t allowed anymore because it hurts creators and sellers/companies, and thus that could outlaw adblockers entirely by extension which would not be great.

That’s like worst-case scenario, though, I don’t necessarily expect that to happen, but I think it’s possible.

I agree, but, to be fair, WINE is not an emulator, it’s a translation layer. It may seem like it doesn’t matter but it’s an important distinction.

Yes, it sounds like they were violating GPL.

I would agree with you about the frequency illusion effect IF it weren’t something very specific and niche.

It is literally a thing that happens.

I have worked for an advertising company before (they hid that they were an advertising company) and you would be surprised how sophisticated and scummy ads can be.

I’ve literally seen advertisements for products that I was talking about but explicitly did not search for or type or anything on any device. All I did was talk about it in real life.

It’s literally a thing that happens, I have seen it happen first-hand.
