They are in Valve's own games. But items drop at different rates, which creates artificial scarciry and items can also be traded for money.

This is old school BIOS boot. EFI bootloaders work very differently.

Look at the places in the US that are favoring Trump and correlate that with the places that have the worst school systems in that country. Also have a look at which party dominated the politics in those areas in the last couple of decades

A fule thst lands on my hard drive is aztomatically scanned for malware. That same kindof protection isn't in place against malicious scripts downloaded by my broswer via an opaque HTTPS connection and run in process.

But that still gives completely unvetted direct access to the device to a website! People have been pointing to Itch.io games that supposedly require direct USB access. How hard is it to hide a script in there that reprograms a controller

I'll flip that around on you: why oh why do we need to browsers to carry these security holes in them? The Stadia flasher is a good example: how do I know that a website doesn't contain a device flasher that will turn one of my co

If it hasn't been invented yet, you don't need driver software for it, do you? ;) Anyway, in your scenario the controller would be essentially a one off and you'd be better off writing a native app to interface with it for th

I haven't thought of it that way, but that might be a solution.

Every decent host OS already has a dedicated driver stack to provide game controller input to applications in a useful manner. Why the heck would you ship a reimplementation of that in JS in a website?

But do we need e.g serial port or raw USB access straight from a random website? Even WebRTC is a bit of a stretch. There is a lot of cruft in modern browsers that does little except increase attack surface. This all just drives a need to c

by gmueckl 1y ago
A part of the issue is IMO that browsers have become ridiculously bloated everything-programs. You could take about 90% of that out and into dedicated tools and end up with something vastly saner and safer and not a lot less capable for all

I believe that it comes down to whether Unity allows merging Horizon OS and Android XR support into a single Android build. Right now, you can only have exactly one VR plug-in active on a Unity build target IIRC.

Human tallying is a source of errors, but it typically doesn't affect the outcome in major ways. This is more of an argument against large scale winner-takes-it-all election systems, as they have the least resilience against this kind

They are also e.g. architects and designers who get amazing new tools to check their work and present it to clients. What is more honest than getting to walk through e.g. a life size mockup of a building? Now you can do that before the grou

So in your case the SW is a poor fit. That feels underwhelming from a package that is used widely and presumably should have the flexibility to adapt to the requirements of very different customers.

So this story comes down to a gripe about data systens that is as old as these systems themselves: the designers and implementers come up with data models and workflows that feel like they cover every possible case and they deliver a system

It's somewhat refreshing to see this OS going strong in 2024. I briefly used it for some ill fated project around 2008 and that's when I learned to appreciate its design and well written documentation (including a warning that a t

Early versions of Fortran also had a fixed column layout, although the columns were different. The only commonality thst I can find right now is ignoring columns 73 to 80 to make space for card sequence numbers. I never wrote a program on p

Nobody in the Seattle area uses those names. They are always just the I-90 bridge or 520 bridge among the people I talk to, although both roads actually use multiple bridges to span Lake Washington.

On the other hand, this requires locked down devices running trusted apps. Otherwise, such a badge won't have any meaning.

Your comment is actually lagging behind reality. There is a manufacturer of kitchen robots that opened a fully functional demo fast food joint: https://misorobotics.com/CaliExpress/

Do you even see a path from the current AI systems to something that has that near-total control over every detail that is required for high quality VFX work?

That's the first thing I noticed, too. The first words you hear in the trailer sounds like someone ran the voice through a comb filter. It's so bad it made my skin crawl immediately.

Who here remembers those old 1000+ pages thick mail-order shopping catalogues? This was a (more or less) carefully curated collection of items because the catalogs could only have a finite number of pages. When Amazon started to accept virt

Open source on a large scale is a double edged sword because it is at odds with an economic reasoning that it prevents the realization of monetary value provided by this software as profit. A crackdown on OSS would be devastating, but also

This confuses me. Google uses their closed source apps as leverage in the certification process. If they are no longer able to enforce bundling, then what?

This is no longer true. Copies of IDs are legal in Germany as long as certain conditions are met, which aren't particularly onerous.
