I used to have a batch file to create a ram disk and mirror my Diablo3 install to it. The game took a bit longer to start up but map load times were significantly shorter.

I don’t know if any modern games would fit and have enough loads to really care…but you could

leagues are bullshit. the problem is having higher standards for others than for yourself. if you don’t want to settle for someone like yourself, focus on improving yourself not trying to date.

I hope they find a way to add more variety to the gameplay interactions. Not just having a variety of builds that work though that’s important too. but it feels like no matter what your build is you then have the same approach to all encounters. There’s lots of different mob types and random modifiers on them but either it breaks your build and you can’t clear them…or you clear them the same way you clear everything else.

And for context, it does this because cheaters are willing to run cheats that run at that kernel level, and the only way to detect and prevent them is if the anticheat is in your kernel first.

Correct, though to be pedantic anyone can be a CA- you just generate a cert with the right bits to say it’s a ca certificate and then use it to sign any other certificate you want.

But the only devices that will consider your signature worth anything are ones you also install your ca certificate on. So it’s useful and common in internal networks but isn’t really what is being asked here.

The hard part is getting in the root CA store of operating systems and browsers. As far as I know they are all maintained independently with their own requirements.

All I can think of are some variations of you trusting a service to validate your id and give you a token that just asserts your id has been validated.

But it’s still not really privacy preserving because it relies on trusting both parties to not collaborate against your privacy. if at some point the id provider decides to start keeping records of what tokens were generated from your id, and the service provider tracking what was consumes with that token, then you can still put it all back together.

then I would install one

Isn’t the last version already that…well…last version?

If anything they could just leverage their work with proton that allows steam to play windows games on Linux to provide similar compatibility shims for old windows on modern windows

just say I help improve ad blockers on YouTube and refuse to elaborate.

They don’t provide stuff for free, they provide stuff in exchange for your data and to sell ads.

rather than allowing edits for invisible edits for X minutes, couldn’t your client just delay actually sending it for X minutes allowing to cancel or edit freely until that point?

Gmail allows a similar feature and it seems safer in a distributed system than relying on everyone else to respect what happens after you send a raw message and an edit right after

The average user uses sleep mode and wakes from sleep. Sleep mode should be under 10w, or around $1/mo.

though laptops are notorious for proprietary charging.

I’ve seen dells that can charge via USBc at full 140w but only on a Dell dock. On any USB PD charger it will only do 60w, and complains about it as it throttles everything.

well yes, but it’s profitable because customers continue to buy their products and services.

the problem with blaming companies is none of them do this out of desire to hurt the environment. they do it to meet customer demand.

as an example imagine if we all stopped buying gas from Shell. their environmental impact would plummet…and their competitors impact would go up as we continue to buy the same amount of gas from other companies

growing it like a garden is a perfect phrase imo

because on windows or Mac it may have just worked. …until it doesn’t, or leaves your windows scaled wrong or placed on monitors that don’t exist or some other failure condition. at which point you reboot and hope for the best.

when it doesn’t work on Linux I’d check logs, actual configuration, and even the source if I need to.and then I’d hopefully improve things and make it work the way I want it to.

it sounds like you understand the value of using water to clean your butthole after you poop… so why not spend the $30 on a bidet just in case you ever do have a poop and don’t want to shower? or hell just so you don’t use as much TP before hopping in the shower. or for anyone else using your toilet and not wanting to hop in the shower…

there’s also the impact of having less consistency in hours. i.e if I work Friday and don’t work Monday but am blocked waiting for someone whondoesnt work friday…it’s waiting until Tuesday.

would Americans even consider that taking down the internet? It wouldn’t impact a US client talking to a US server.

Others have pointed out the concerns around negative reviews of things still subject to change, but the other aspect is just the relations with media.

I’m sure tons of journalists have been playing. And probably even working on content covering the game, but not publishing it yet. Once valve is ready for coverage they’ll have polished content ready. And valve can control the timing so that coverage happens right when they want the hype like maybe a few days before an open beta.

By covering it early you encourage other journalists to do the same, rushing out low quality content to get the views before others do. And for valve to not let any journalists see the game early to avoid this.
