Every time someone fearmongers "Digital ID" I always tap this sign https://www.eid.admin.ch/en The issue is not about "Digital ID" it's about having a good ecosystem that is both open and secure. I

Once again back to another arms race. Assuming that your operating system doesn't allow any bad drivers (Windows does NOT do this) physical access to the hardware is just a function of time and money to get direct access to the memory

It looks like they are probably doing some kind of machining post processing to give a smooth surface finish. Crazy advanced manufacturing capability on show here. China is ahead of the game here compared to the west, the best comparable ma

The invasive kernel root kit came months after they fixed the netcode abuses.

The biggest heuristic is that you suddenly get much more consistent. Valorant uses this to ramp up how intrusive its kernel anticheat becomes and often forcing you to turn on more intrusive features to continue playing the game

Fortnite had this same issue when BR was first released. It was promptly fixed after cheaters started abusing it by adding more stringent checks.

The thousands of RGB drivers from the various manufacturers that are just copy+paste jobs on RWEverything is actually disgusting and Microsoft letting that just happen is a serious problem. Ah yes you added AES to your IOCTL very secure! I&

CS2 Does not have overwatch anymore. VAC Live is completely AI and its a known fact that valve have a few buttons and sliders to play with to go through ban/boom cycles for cheaters to maximize impact

Comparing VAC2 (released in 2005) to FACEIT in 2025 is pretty dumb. There are still absolutely cheaters running rampant on FACEIT and FPL. The real solution is to limit information sent to the client, make it harder for cheaters to have rel

CS2 does not do Vischeck culling anymore. It was ditched with the move to source 2. All players are globally visible to everyone

It does seem insane to me that there isnt a process to catch the panic, unwind back to a reasonable place in the call stack, load the last known good configuration and continue execution as normal. You would go from having a global 2 hour o

Also, in this use case catching the panic and completely forgetting that the function was ever called in the first place is completely acceptable. In web frameworks such as Dioxus/Axum if your users request causes a panic it does not b

The biggest issue here is that it hurts smaller consumers. Scaling up a fab to produce ram takes 5+ years, people generally buy new hardware ~5 years so this lifecycle of hardware for some people is now locked out. Let's say you was du

I agree that throwing away battle tested code is wasteful and often not required. Most people are not of the mindset of just throwing things away but there is a drive to make things better. There are some absolute monoliths such as the Linu

Hardly an election interference of a fairly crap panorama special that wasn't even available to watch in the USA. We can all fairly easily agree GBNEWS is the bottom of the barrel

I can't believe that a flexible powerful syntax is considered limiting or confusing by some people. There is way more confusing edge-case syntax keywords in C++ that are huge foot-guns.

Part of the reason why these companies are still around and strong is because they continue to innovate. Facebook spun up Instagram for younger folk, Amazon has some of the best shipping/warehousing/distribution in the world. eBay

"Valve apparently contractually forbids games to be sold at a lower price outside Steam." This quote is based on one email from a valve employee circa 2017. Furthermore, is it not Valves right to say if you wish to offer the same

Microsoft takes 30%, Sony takes 30% so that argument is out of the window. Let's break down what you actually get for that 30% with Microsoft/Sony - $120/yr (xbox) or $80/yr (ps) subscription fee - Price subsidized conso

Supporting games on Mac is a huge hassle for developers for several reasons. It is painfully annoying to compile any MacOS application without actually having a machine with Xcode installed. The server solutions you can get a hold of are ba

And these games are usually review bombed to hell so that consumers can inform other people to stay away. It is an open marketplace

This is not a matter about it being law but rather how poorly these systems mesh together thanks to government at all levels in the US being years behind Euro counterparts partially due to legislation barriers and probably cronyism

I would not assume pure malice in this case. The whole trifecta between the fed, the state and the state DMV is just complete spaghetti and need serious reform. The idea of state level drivers' licenses is really short sighted

Although your eye moves very quickly your brain has a delay in processing the completely new frame you switched to. It's very hard to look left and right with your eyes and read something quickly changing on both sides

This is my biggest gripe with email auth or any kind of security code via sms/mms. I pray for the day I can fully move to a passwordless setup and break free the mess of email addresses spaghetti and phone numbers.

Browser behavior and feature sets are mostly uniform apart from some specific semantics. Companies like Google should absolutely be anti-trusted out of owning the Chrome Browser and it should be required that because you are "selling a

If it's not price competitive then it is functionally useless. The only reason we have PCB manufacturing in the USA is probably because of DoD requirements and the government doesn't want to risk TS information falling in the hand

Specifically, my concept is not having to fork over personal information to get access to "free content" I could have worded that better, its either free or you pay and if you pay with your information each sale of your informatio
