I had an instructor for a class who had a similar story. He had requested a day off of work to take a short vacation, but because it was a small company, it meant that no IT personnel would be available for that day. He came in on Monday

In general, technical people severely underestimate the value of good writing. My wife has a MS in Professional Writing, no technical background, and got hired to work in the IT department at a major publishing company. While there, her e

Have you ever been in the military? From my time in the USMC, it was a meritocratic institution where your race was irrelevant, and overt racists wouldn't last long. Do you have any sources to back up the "strong ties to white n

That's something I've noticed as well, and the worst part is how willing people are to turn on their neighbors. I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen comments along the lines of "screw your freedoms, mil

Speaking of Valve's source engine, in the recent chat log leaks, the Valve employee says the Source 2 engine is essentially just the Source 1 engine with new physics tacked on.

My wife has been playing it quite a bit, and it seems like it's only grindy if you want it to be. My wife spends most of her time making gardens, decorating rooms, and exploring new islands. Some of her friends have ugly islands full

Some gamers are so upset about it that they're reporting Steam to the CCP for listing Taiwan as a separate country. Seems pointless, but I guess they just want to watch the world burn, which is funny considering they're upset bec

I didn't see where they said that second half, do you have a source? Because all I saw was a tweet from them saying that they haven't found any evidence of human to human transmission.

Currently a government contractor, can confirm everything is fine so far. I work at a mid sized company, and not a single person was furloughed or laid off. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that 90% of the company had the option to work

The most common theory is that it's the Denuvo anti-piracy software. It's known to cause performance drops on Windows, and it often has to be bypassed or disabled in Linux games.

I wouldn't oversell protondb since it's based on user submitted reports. I've tried multiple games that were rated platinum, but wouldn't launch or had other graphical issues that made them unplayable. Luckily the issu

Both are correct. Some native ports run better under Proton because the port sucks, but I recently saw a video where they compared Doom Eternal with Proton vs running native on Windows, and the Proton version ran better than the Windows ve

People have already made aimbots for Valorant that wouldn't be stopped by cloud gaming. It just uses autohotkey to detect the color of pixels on screen, and moves the crosshairs until they're over the detected pixels.

A dip in productivity is a problem for your boss, not for you. Anecdotally, I'm much more productive at home because I can take breaks whenever I want instead of getting burned out after working for 3-4 hours at an office, but knowing

It's not to disguise the wearer, it's to feed junk data into any license plate reader that happens to look at you. I don't think it's really useful, but the idea is that if the systems get filled up with enough junk dat

Working hard on something doesn't make it exempt from criticism. And they didn't even say anything about the devs, just the feature. It's not like you can be rude to a web browser.
