There's some ML image-based cheats out there but they're much worse (and have been for years). Some games have sidestepped this with tiny imperceptible color changes to nametags & outlines to throw off the cheats while not bot

Okay, then I don't get the point you're trying to make. You "slippery slope"'d the Secure Kernel TPM attestation used for multiplayer games into "what if you can't do banking anymore". Like I said (an

> It's perfectly accurate, as Microsoft could let you use Riot's servers without using the secure kernel if they wanted to. And then you're back to needing to load vgk.sys at boot time to play a Riot game. And that's

We already have media DRM using other methods that aren't as restrictive as you make it out to be. This slippery slope doesn't work.

This is entirely used for anticheat purposes. Ergo, if you want to play with other people in a multiplayer setting, you're required to abide by certain rules: some logical and social, some technical. It's a careful balance between

I recall one of the issues leading up to their abrupt cancellation was fulfillment, so I can't help but suspect there's some potential (long-term) issue they couldn't work out for this dev kit's chipset. Maybe some par

The white line is just because the four quadrants are four separate images, and the four images are HTML-aligned together to make one.

The generated FIDO keys with "[...]-sk" are hardware-only too, the "key" you load is only an "identifier" associating the onboard passkey, allowing you to add it on multiple computers but still requiring the FI

All the videos I've seen show it adopted by an existing UniFi site, I wonder if I can still set it up as a standalone device? Hopefully even set up the VPN functionality to some WireGuard server (which was implied somewhere where it li

This was announced a while ago, and it's just now going into effect: > The company is implementing its long-lasting promise revealed in 2024, with the option for users to purchase additional play time as needed. There's also so

They don't exist anymore. They've all been delisted when the partnership expired.

Don't worry, it'll be the #1 FIFA-branded game when it comes out. That's nothing to do with it being the only one, of course.

by smileybarry 10mo ago
No, it started ~4 years ago when FIFA hiked the license cost for EA, and 2 years ago EA had enough & didn't renew the license.[1] Since then, EA basically rebranded their series to "EA Sports FC" and dropped the FIFA bran

"All of the big TV makers" except Vizio which is owned by Walmart, of course, who happens to do ACR and ad targeting: > In August 2015, Vizio acquired Cognitive Media Networks, Inc, a provider of automatic content recognition

That still doesn't escape ACR, AFAIK. These "smart" TVs still capture screenshots from HDMI inputs. That's one of the reasons I only buy Sony for years now. ACR & the like are opt-out at the first terms/privacy

And of course: casual reminder that Vizio does extensive ACR and ad targeting, and even bought a company doing it to facilitate that: > In August 2015, Vizio acquired Cognitive Media Networks, Inc, a provider of automatic content recog

Peer reviewers can also use AI tools, which will hallucinate a "this seems fine" response.

From what I gather it's that GH Actions is good for easy scenarios: single line building, unit tests, etc. When your CI pipeline starts getting complicated or has a bunch of moving parts, not only do you need to rearchitect parts of it

No, in that case they'd want both to be reported separately so they could use the AirPod with the higher charge.

It can , but it'll be a small subset of stuff. You'll probably be able to just hit install + play on most things, but it'll have a "Steam Frame Verified" program like the Steam Deck's.

Same on iOS, with the fun bonus of the "something went wrong" modal looping as well! (Without retrying, you're just stuck in modal hell)

Same here, I've re-enrolled my Yubikeys 3 times so far, to the point that trying a full re-login asks "what do you want to use for 2FA?" and the list is 6+ generic named "Security Key".

I think it's just a matter of some "I need HDR" syscall.

To be it looked very much like the matte coating on Dell monitors, where bunched up same-color pixels have this "feels like there's a rainbow here but if I focus on it I don't see it anymore" effect. Definitely better

Wait until you try an OLED computer monitor, that screws with the "higher refresh rate => less ghosting" thought process completely .

They've had cloud servers in the US for a while now (Virginia and Oregon), seems like "Shared Regular Performance" and "Dedicated General Performance" have US servers.

A company operating fully remote with global employees still has to do some bureaucratic work with the countries of their employees for payroll purposes. That's what I meant by the experience they had with this.

No, a better analogy would be Germany. You can't count the entirety of Israel on one hand and ~10% of 1940s Germany on the other. But that's beside the point and still doesn't match what you said, as you considered any compan

I use ProtonVPN for bypassing media geoblocking, and they're fairly good, with some exceptions (BBC iPlayer works via browser but not the Apple TV app, local IPTV doesn't work on any Proton local servers). They have an Apple TV ap

Well, yes, but being able to designate a VPN node as a Tailscale exit node directly means you don't need a random server in the middle for it. (Which is beneficial if you use it as an exit node for road warrior devices)
