Although that still never totally protects it. I’ve seen a fair few number of passionate game communities bring online-only games back from the dead by reverse engineering the server architecture. It’s a lot of work, but if you know how the software is supposed to function then you can write the other half of the software that gives the response to make that work.
That’s not how that works. An order can be legal whether these attacks are legal, extra-legal, or illegal (they’re extra-legal or legal). Congress has given the president power to perform some military actions without their approval. Their approval is needed to declare war, and they’re required to be notified of the president taking certain actions (which they weren’t at the start, making what the president did illegal, but not the soldiers).
This isn’t defending the actions. This is only a statement of fact, letting you and others know you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about when you use this saying. Yes, they can (in fact, they must) refuse illegal orders, but that doesn’t mean what you’re implying.
Great name for the Halo jeep thing. Horrible name for a jet.
There is a reason, if it’s just some guy in a hoodie. If it’s a known cracker with a reputation for good cracks, it’s probably fine. Some random person? I’d avoid it. I’d probably avoid it either way, but I agree there’s no reason to trust the company either. Just don’t trust either.
That’s assuming they’re just pirates, not state actors or hackers taking advantage of it. Still though, Denuvo is possibly assisting state actors too, so 🤷. The ideal solutions is just don’t play games with Denuvo. It’s not that difficult.
Just curious, does the crack work on Linux? Presumably you wouldn’t have to do the same things, assuming it works at all.
They are unrelated things. It has nothing to do with “what we feel”
I didn’t say it did. I just said it’s more useful for that. Whether it was on purpose or not, 100 and 0 are when it’s dangerous. Before those it can still be, but beyond them you really need to be careful.
Celsius is also arbitrary. There’s no particular reason water, at sea level, is used for the scale. It was just chosen. If you’re measuring water, it’s great. Otherwise, there’s nothing that makes it “better” than F. It’s not easier to convert to scale to higher or lower numbers or anything, which is what the metric system usually has an advantage with. They’re both just scales.
I’ve been playing Stationeers a lot lately. (It’s a game about managing a station on another planet, and simulates liquids and gasses really well, following the ideal gas law, and phase changes, and all that good stuff. I highly recommend it, and the devs are great.) In that you use Celsius and Kelvin, with you often needing kK or even larger. It wouldn’t make sense to use F, because it’s hard to switch between F and K, but C and K are the same, with K just being 274.15 higher. I have no issue with C, but this type of use is the one place it’s better, and no one I know would ever have to do this.
I have no idea, but I suspect geothermal cooling doesn’t work as well at this scale. I suspect heat in the ground spreads far slower than the air moves. Since these are running 24/7, this means it’ll reach an elevated equilibrium temperature that will be higher than if a residential house did it. I guess if the footprint is large enough it’d be fine, but that’s probably really expensive.
For temperature, not really. Both Celsius and Fahrenheit are useful for different things.
Fahrenheit is great for what we feel (it’s related to body temperature for the high end, and the freezing point of brine on 0).
Celsius is great for cooking, or applications where you care about what water is doing (0 is freezing, 100 is boiling).
Neither uses different scales, like other metric units increasing by 10s (at least, I’ve never seen anything like kC). If you’re doing that, you’re using Kelvin, which is a fundamental base temperature, where 0 is actually 0, which makes more sense for physics and math, but is less useful for what we feel.
I think the US should switch, just to make it easier to communicate, and other metric scales actually are better. C and F are both equally useful for different things though. Neither is actually a better scale.
I’ve had a pretty longstanding belief that a lot of the AI push is to inflate energy demand, as we increasingly add more renewables. In order to keep dirty energy “creating revenue” we need an energy sink to offset any added energy. I think this was crypto, and then NFTs. Those both faded away as soon as the AI stuff started being pushed. I don’t believe this is totally a coincidence.
You’ll need the same number of cooling towers for the computers too. All the energy created by the reactor will turn into heat, essentially doubling the amount of cooling needed.
If you look towards the horizon with the sun, a little before sunrise or after sunset, you’ll probably be able to see flashes of them as they catch the light.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
If you look weak, you’re a target. The only way to have peace is to look strong.
I mostly agree, except I think there could be a new version of something that isn’t Linux if it gets that big.
For the “get out” thing, it could be nothing. I think I’ve said some stupid stuff being “woken up” but not actually being conscious. I don’t remember those moments, but I think I can definitely speak and do things without actually being awake. That could be nothing. The ghosting is the real issue. That is a choice. If they’re being rude or choosing to do things that you don’t like, that’s a sign to leave.
If you really want to give it a shot though and think it’s a misunderstanding, or want to clear things up, or get your possessions back, or whatever, get a coffee or something with them in public. Feel it out in person. You’ve currently lost nothing of value and have nothing to lose really. Just don’t attach more to it than it has. You hooked up with someone. It doesn’t mean they’re in love with you. So far, it sounds like you’ve had no more than a date with them. Just because you had sex, don’t treat it as more than that. You don’t know each other.
Emulating the former is good enough for games preservation (or whatever you decide to do with the games).
Well, that’s the excuse at least. The law would have to effectively kill 3D printing. Is that the goal? Idk.
You’re right that asking a user for a date is next to useless. However, that isn’t a reason to not fight this stuff. Asking the user for the date is step one to getting people accept it. After that they’ll point out that people were lying, and they’ll need our government ID to verify (and link us to activity). It’s all a step towards a surveillance network tracking every move you make on your computer.
It’s a computer with standard computer hardware, so you can install anything on it. It’s Linux by default though, and with packages specifically curated to make it operate well. I don’t know how many distros or OSs work well with the hardware out-of-the-box.
Even that, a dedicated player can capture it. If it has to be rendered on the device then they have access to the assets.
