They do like money, but Valve also loves providing a service to people.

Nobody uses Epic Games, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or Battle.net because they want to, they use it because they have to.

Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.

Yeah but it doesn’t work on macOS, only Surface Pro and Raspberry Pi, and a few others I think.

The M2 chip is ARM, it just adds some hurdles. I think there’s some work being done for dual-booting Linux on the M2 chip, but as for Windows you have to use Parallels in macOS.

Older Macs with Intel processors will of course run any OS no problem.

I just worry about driver support as I do for Lenovo. They’re probably fine, but again, I haven’t used a Dell in a while.

Dell XPS might be good but I’m not sure, somehow I doubt it.

Macs of course will work properly, at the expense of having to use macOS.

My trio used to be Apple, Dell and Lenovo. But now it’s Framework and Apple.

Lenovo is shit. They really aren’t worth a damn anymore.

I’ve had fingerprint driver issues with my expensive Lenovo Yoga, and AHCI driver issues with an expensive Lenovo ThinkPad. Support is non existent, and if you do manage to find any help through their channels, they don’t help and don’t care.

My next laptop will be with Framework or some other company that doesn’t try to screw me.

Not sure why people are downvoting you. I've been in about 2 Valorant games where I've seen people straight up get banned mid-match. It terminated the match immediately.

On top of that, I've never seen obvious cheaters in Valorant. Go play Counter-Strike for long enough and you'll find spin bots.

Is rootkit anti-cheat sketchy? Absolutely. Does it work really fucking well? Absolutely.

"We will release a patch to completely disable NFC and prevent any NFC issues from occurring"

• The old Thief games (succeeded by Dishonored)
• Condemned: Criminal Origins

Those are the two I got for now.

I think the implication is zero-click exploit.

But if that’s the case it should be fairly simple to reverse engineer whichever exploit they’re using.

You can also use Fennec (Firefox) or Kiwi Browser (Chrome) forks for Android. Both support uBlock Origin.

I hope that the Unity CEO feels as accomplished, and prideful as EA’s.

That’s not necessarily true, though it is also what I thought as of just a few days ago.

At least based on the information in this video from MKBHD, excessive heat is actually what causes rapid degradation of smartphone batteries. Super fast charging phones actually work by reducing the overall heat to the battery through engineering designs, such as by splitting the battery into two parts instead of having one entire battery that gets hot. In this way, a phone that supports 50W chargers can charge “each battery” at only 25W, instead of one single battery at 50W. The space between the batteries also insulates the heat between them. It’s simple but ingenious really.

You do have a tradeoff of less battery power overall, due to the gap between the batteries, but it is definitely a technical achievement.

I don’t know how EV batteries work, but since the batteries are made up of many different smaller batteries, they could theoretically isolate the heat much more effectively than in a smartphone, which is all crammed into one battery in a tiny little space.

There’s nothing more spiteful than not buying either of them

It’s the same reason we don’t take drugs that haven’t been tested yet. You know, not in lab rats.

Google treats its users as beta testers all the time. Difference is a phone won’t kill me when it crashes and reboots.

Ah I forgot about the keyboard attachments

I’d bet there’s a CSAM test image dataset with innocuous images that get picked up by the script. Not sure how the system works, but if it’s through hashes then it would be pretty simple to add that to the script.

Do you have an example of this?

In this case I just have a case on my phone which stops it from sliding. But generally I do like having phones without cases on them.
