Cool story if everything you have has an API or code based. Try doing it on hundreds of switches and other embedded devices. The whole 42 day thing they’re floating is gonna be a massive nightmare because they don’t realize all the other things out there that use certificates.

Careful. Y’alqueda is gonna start forcing you to input your Drivers License and only allow you to play as your gender listed on it.

So they were trying to make a third game without Jenson when that’s exactly what was needed to bridge between him and JC Denton.

I’ll also never forgive Square for shelving the third game to chase money with the Avengers game that now no one remembers except to call hate on for bumping DX.

It should still show those actions in the mod logs. Can you link some. But seriously, post them here, Let’s see if they get deleted. At least they’ll show up in my inbox that way.

Maybe I haven’t run into it too often or I’ve been ignornant of it, but what are some of those opinions that you’re referring to?

And then you have Clair Obscur schooling studios on how it should be done.

Fair point. Tone was hard to read

if they have old systems that no longer receive BIOS updates

You just went the Microsoft route there: “their system is too old and doesn’t have TPM, they need a new system to stay secure”

Or the BF6 route “you need to have Secure Boot enabled to play our game”

This just creates more e-waste and doesn’t really solve the problem as their user base will happily follow them for much longer than you’d probably think.

They used to not be that way. I have 5 devices (couple connects, amps and plays) that I’ve kept on S1. Haven’t gotten any new features, but never lost any in their whole S2 debacle. Going 10+ years strong.

I mentioned this in another thread but “DP Alt” (DP over USB-C) is not a default feature of the USB spec and is an optional extension that needs to be added via additional hardware and supported by the device. At that point you’re basically adding in DP with just a different port.

To that end, it’s still the same thing that TV manufacturers just aren’t adding in DP support regardless of connector.

The only down side is DP Alt mode is optional and must be enabled and supported by the internal controller and system. In order to do that, you might as well just go full DP at that point and somehow I don’t think the manufacturers are gonna spend more money on that. Most likely the USB-C port only supports a mass storage class device.

I don’t see “relevance for HDMI” ending anytime soon. Tell me how easy it is to find a TV with DP inputs. Nearly 99% of consumer gear uses HDMI.

My understanding is it’s not even a licensing issue. The HDMI consortium won’t let you include features from 2.1 and 2.2 in an open source driver. it sounds like Valve would be willing to pay, but they’d have to include a closed source driver for the video card.

You did a pet peeve of mine….

255% growth is really easy when the numbers are so small.

I worked at a place once where they were celebrating a new product because “it had 100% growth!” and ragging on another because it only had 0.5% growth and was obviously dying off.

Thing was, the product with 100% growth went from something like 200 to 400 customers, so it was technically 100%, and the 0.5% one added 800 customers but already had something like 160,000 customers so 200 customers would have been a rounding error to it.

My point is, don’t just focus on the percentages when you’re dealing with such large disparities, it can be disingenuous.

“Non-traditional”? Homosexuality has been around and recorded since the Romans and even prior. 2000+ years isn’t traditional? That’s just as long as Christianity.

Could have been coupled with a dongle that only pairs to one device at a time.

Once upon a time it was a good way to help build a community and to help pass along social knowledge of living in groups, however people very quickly learned it could be used for control and since then has been another means of exerting power over gullible people.

Please do tell which games force ray tracing?

They were using a non-corporate approved Discord to discuss unionization. Depending on what they said, I could see this being the “flimsy reason” R* is using.

Okay, I’m in the minority here, but i absolutely loved 4. It was so over the top Matrix meets SR and the game play is good enough I keep coming back to it.
