I have seen references to this but I am constantly confused by how this is actually a thing. There was a video I watched that stated that in some situations 2 identical clocks that are in perfect working order, that if one of them was on a

Given the current idea of LLM's still struggle with confidently giving wrong information, all of these products are seriously misguided. (It doesn't help that "AI" has become such a blanket term in the last year or so t

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that there is at least some effort to bring these models local instead of shoving even more personal data into servers and who knows where it is going. But I am really frustrated by LLM's being ins

Doesn't require a gigabit connection, but if there is any sort of quest (or similar) system that could be data that is stored server side. That is not an uncommon practice in MMO's. WoW released in 2004 (it is not clear to me when

That is the problem, it is not clear exactly what it is we are talking about with this campaign. We have online DRM which I agree with is a bad thing. But if you look at the FAQ they are also clearly talking about online servers for games.

I agree it is possible, but I am referencing what the person I was responding too which was CSGO. Which I think we can likely both agree, there is a massive difference between those servers when it comes to complexity.

That doesn’t answer my question. My question is on how the game is built. Is the single player simply not working due to the entire game requiring being online or is there a part of the single player that relies on something that is online

I have said this in a few places now, but this is my fundamental problem with this petition. The front page is horribly written to actually convey the problem (I should not be required to go to the FAQ to get a basic understanding) and then

There is a massive difference between those p2p games that I grew up with as well and running a live game server. Those CSGO servers are not running all of the AI mobs, progression tracking systems, and other components that many games have

That is a strange distinction that would allow the company to just get out of supporting whatever law they may try to get with just a wording change on the box? WoW you have to buy. Yes there is a subscription but you also have to buy the g

I really should not have to go to the FAQ to understand the actual point of what they are hoping to achieve. The front page should make it clear that they are not advocating for servers remaining up indefinitely (which is a valid assumption

Add too that, that there may be shared code bases. Maybe a major part of the server side code is something used between multiple games at your company. Maybe it has references to unreleased games, comments when the assumption was the code w

So first that requires additional engineering effort to do, which if they are making the decision to shut down the game it likely means it isn't making money so that's a waste of effort on their part. It may also not be an easy ta

While I understand the annoyance at a game shutting down and you can no longer play it. I also strongly oppose this from a technical prospective. It costs money to run servers, it costs money to maintain servers. It costs engineering effort

It has been thoroughly talked about (except for those trying to push an agenda) that nearly any diet related study is severely flawed. In most situations we either just simply can't collect data for a long enough period of time, strugg

So because of this bundling it has been a long time since I have used Slack. Is Slack still good or has it had its own problems? I hate using teams but I don’t want to try to push for Slack if it has also gone downhill.

I am saying the opposite, if they have less data the value of AI's will plummet and hopefully their use will plummet. That is a good thing.
