That’s nothing. My workplace disabled copy/paste on everyone’s work iPhones completely. Not in their own apps but system wide. Apparently that’s something ios allows them to do. Doesn’t affect me much because I use the phone as a glorified dual auth token but some people have it as their primary phone.
These fuckers are impossible to open now. Must be some sort of EU regulation. They have this tiny plastic container that feels like it could withstand the apocalypse. Also apparently they have like a bad taste flavouring applied, which of course prevents them from working at all in certain devices. Had to scrub it off with rubbing alcohol just to get it to function. Not a difficult fix but “debugging” the issue took time. No amount of toddlers are worth dealing with this shit.
/s but also just let me buy the normal batteries too without all this added shit
Probably the model’s training data is not new enough to include him yet
Why? Should a real person never be photoshopped either?
One new IP coming right up!
Here you go… Rebel Moon
Enjoy
(jkjk I love new IP but not all of them are bangers)
That is not what simp means.
They kinda ruined it with the multiverse. Everything feels without consequence. Death is meaningless and there are no stakes now
In this case the garbage is behind the pay wall then. Verge is all opinion pieces and cheap content nowadays anyway.
What systemic issue? If you as a player don’t like steam, you can just not use it. It’s not like apple where the hardware is locked to a single storefront. Even the steam deck is open for people to get games from anywhere.
Developers are allowed to do whatever they like too, including not putting their games on steam as a form of protest. No one will stop you. They can even sell their games on multiple platforms and reduce the price where the storefront cut is smaller. The only thing they are not allowed to do is sell steam keys on their own store below the price on steam, which is completely understandable. The fact that they are allowed to sell keys directly (AFAIK for no cost) is already a huge boon.
The one’s actually behaving in anticompetetive behaviour is Epic with paying devs for exclusivity to their store. This is forcing you to use the platform to play certain games without having any other options. Of course the devs taking the deal are also complicit but that is somewhat more understandable, being a gamedev is difficult these days.
The difference is obvious, you don’t have to be a genius to see it. Epic is the plague of modern capitalism and greed, where the product is kept afloat by an unsustainable inflow of investor money. The service is ready to enshittify the second the amount of users crosses a certain threshold. Then they will continue to fight with dirty tactics to keep users locked in for as long as they can. How long do you think giving away free games weekly to anyone can last. (Aswer: as long as the fortnite money is coming in)
Steam is an old type of corporation (for now anyway). They focus on making a good product for a “fair” price. Fair as in this is what makes the platform sustainable. If they were to charge exorbitant prices, there would be a huge developer exodus. But there isn’t. Most devs seem to have come to a conclusion that paying this optional fee is worth it for that value that steam provides. This money allows them to reinvest in the platform to make upgrades, and yes, make profit too. What other reason would they go through all this trouble for?
Steam is also a privately held company, meaning they are not beholden to the short term vision of investors’ pump and dump schemes. But to reiterate, literally no one is forcing you to use steam.
These days you have to capture a large user base with unsustainable prices/practices and then extract every cent for infinite growth. This is not just bad for users in the long term but also means setting up a “normal” company offering a good product at a “fair” price is impossible because everyone is buying the cheap unsustainable products essentially below cost.
I miss the times when a company would make a good product at a fair price and that would be enough.
Edit: that was unnecessarily harsh. I can see you want positive change but unless someone opens a FOSS storefront and pays for the work/distribution, steam is the best we have for now (as gamers). And reducing costs by ~10-20% is not going to make it better for us long term.
Then stop complaining and go buy the game directly off the developer’s website. Many large publishers have their own storefront. Or you can tell your favourite Indie dev that they can set up a virtual storefront (with diacoverability so users find their game), distribution service with CDNs, support forums, online user reviews, customer support, and who knows what else for their own game. If this sounds like a lot of work, that’s because it is. Alternatively, they are allowed to pay someone in the form of profit sharing for all of this if they want to. But no one is forcing you to use Steam.
It just seams the majority of pc gamers find the service useful, so they tend to buy the games there.
Budapest is a good day for you to be a choice between Sony and the best of success and success in the future and you have to set up as usual on one of the fully featured apps like android or Windows and then log in on ios and select external player to choose a different career and not apply to the first year of Donald Trump. Or 5th of the season and the others cannot be bothered to respond no matter what channel I use to ask them to do it in the future of the UK has some sort of npu type.
Along what everyone else said, so it’s more broadly marketable. In theory a humanoid robot could do any job a real human is doing now, meaning you don’t need a high tech production line to go along with it. You don’t need to automate your entire production line to get started.
Also, it’s more of a commodity. A business could sell the robot once they don’t need it and anyone else could just buy it to use for a different purpose. Not many will have a use for highly customised robots ment for a specific task.
Not new but I like civ V. Glad they are removing the launcher.
While Romans did acknowledge how long ago the Roman empire began the actual day-to-day calendar was based on the year of the ruling Consul, or later, Emperor. Meaning a new year count was started when a new Consul rose to power.
So for the Americans it’s only a couple of weeks to the first year of Donald Trump. Or 5th? I wonder how the Romans would have handled a “re-election”.
Edit: around year 500 there was this Christian monk Dionysius who didn’t like the current ruling emperor, as the emperor persecuted Christians. So Dionysius came up with using the birth of christ as year zero. While this didn’t catch on as the official calendar for a thousand years, this is where we got our current year zero from.
Basically some guy was upset about their current Donald Trump and refused to count years by him.
Very cool! Do you have the screen on for the entire night? Do you worry about burn in?
Because the world isn’t “ending”. Yes climate change might bring famine, destructive weather events, or plague but in the meantime we are living in the safest, healthiest, and most technologically advanced era of humanity up until now, especially for those of us living in democracies. Most diseases that would have killed you a few hundred years ago have been solved, in general there are very few wars (compared to the constant on and off warfare in history anyway), and in most of the world slavery has been eradicated.
Yes, there is societal divide (mostly due to economic difficulties and how social media influences people), yes there is bigotry and a rise in nationalism but much of this is only noticeable because of the media and the 24 hour news cycle. There has to be a constant issue hanging over our heads to make sure we are glued to our screens 24/7 improving shareholder value of the companies supplying the news on the current crisis.
So in conclusion, there are some global issues, but there is no reason not to go on an adventure, pursue that girl/boy you like, build a shed, or do whatever “side quest” you are up to at the moment. It’s not like you’re gonna solve climate change alone but you’ll be completely miserable if that is all your life is about. The world is not ending for now, go do your side quests.
It’s somewhere in the middle. I wouldn’t call it grippy but it’s not slippery either. It’s much more grippy than the phone itself for sure.
I tend to drop my phone more often then I’d like. The corners of the case did get scuffed from heavier drops. You can see the carbon-fiber-esque material revealing a stronger plastic beneath but there is no structural damage to the case and it has protected the phone. In my case with the S23 ultra the side rails could be better protected, that’s the only visible damage on the phone itself. The anodised metal has a bit of scuffing from a drop. I do use a screen protector which has also taken its fair share of abuse.
Compared to how thin and light it is, I’m quite happy with the setup. Of course something like an otterbox is gonna give more protection, but won’t be as sleek and nice.
Good game. I played during/after the beta, I felt like it needed a bit more variety in guns and maps. Have they been adding stuff since?
