Well - if people still trust any piece of software coming from Epic…

is “easy anti-cheat” a brand name? Or was that just your wording?

You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid slash desperate slash addicted some gamers are, doesn’t it?

Only if those other partitions are not encrypted. Sure, it could still wipe them - but that’s something that backups are good for, and something you would certainly notice immediately :)

I noticed they seem to be intentionally locking out smaller domains and I hope that backfires. Not holding my breath though.

Ah, I see. A youngling who never heard of the usenet.

Mobile one absolutely. And they make humans more stupid and the world worse.

So how good did I think my point was? VR is an artificial hype, especially in a time where almost all major game releases lack in story and already put way too much money into graphical effects. It’s a gadget.

let me be the one to say: the only people who “need” VR are those earning their money with selling VR products. No one else in the whole wide world actually needs VR.

Ease of adoption (or appearance of)

Thank you for acknowledging that point. Because since Win7 or so, Almost all major Linux distributions are shitloads easier to learn that any windows environment, no matter how unfamiliar you are with Linux. Basically, all major desktop environments behave like an optimized WinXP desktop.

“I aimed my rifle at that person’s head and pulled the trigger, but I swear I didn’t want them to die”

Tesla should be broken up and reassembled with zero overlap in management.

And yes, legally it won’t stick, but the shitty south african oligarch should absolutely be tried for murder.

relevance in context = 0

Just submitted a similar comment. Thank you for pointing this out as well.

As much as I despise Putin and his regime, this whole story reeks of bullshit. If it’s possible to “plant an incendiary device” on air cargo, then the safety checks are fucked up, also if anyone seriously wanted to bring a plane down, they’d put a trivial pressure sensor inside to trigger at altitude, not a more complex (and error prone) timer.

Are you victim blaming the killed murdered pedestrians?

You got one part wrong. The people fucking around aren’t the ones having to do the “finding out” part.

Charge the stupid fuck Tesla chain of decision making with murder. This bullshit “self driving” advertising is premeditated, that’s no longer manslaughter.

And charge the driver(s) with manslaughter under aggravating circumstances.

But oh no, muh profts, hurr-durrr…

because of the ~~(mis?)~~use of the word “contradictory”,

I used that only in my second comment, after the first person got flustered :) Go up two more in the comment chain and you’ll see my original comment. Although, I stand by the second comment as well - the article is contradicting itself.

If I say

The square root of -1 is i […] The square root of -1 is not defined. […]

Only to THEN go on to explain what imaginary numbers are, then I have still contradicted myself :)

Interesting… today I learned. But since I only ever use std::cout in my debugging code (i.e. DURING debugging) or for status outputs of the application (for small apps), and for everything else I use my own logging framework that uses printf & syslog udp messages… luckily nothing I need to refactor :D

DO IT!
