Well right. But they can’t collect your photo and other data that way.

Same!
- Comment on Dune: Awakening is getting a single-player mode and more story content 2 weeks ago:
The Deep Desert is fully available with all its content and challenges, but the map never resets and your buildings are never wiped. The Coriolis Storm remains as a weather event but is less destructive.
Sounds like they’re fixing this
- Comment on Memory prices tipped to fall as China starts flooding the market with DRAM and NAND chips 4 weeks ago:
Yeah right? Like supply and demand. Fuck capitalism but this is like capitalism 101. And still manage to make it sound like a bad thing. I guess gotta keep the spin on full tilt. China bad, even when they’re playing by your own shitty rules.

This def feels like a fuck up on valves part. Sad in a $100 controller.
- Comment on Open-source non-profit claims Bambu Lab violated license — move follows cease-and-desist demand on OrcaSlicer fork that restored cloud printing features without using Bambu Connect 4 weeks ago:
As for the trouble that Bambu Lab’s response on Jarczak’s fork stirred, the company said to All3DP: “We nonetheless regret that our reference to Terms of Service, legal context and a potential C&D understandably came across as a legal threat. That was not the outcome we wanted.”
We’re sorry that our legal threat came across as a legal threat? What the fuck are they smoking?

- Comment on Steam Controller goes out of stock as Valve get a ton of "Game Console" shipments 1 month ago:
I wish they’d just do what frame.work does. Pre-order and kill scalpers by letting everyone order it and just push back delivery. Then everyone gets one and it pretty much kills scalping because people can just wait for it.

- Comment on Roguelite spin-off shooter Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core arrives in May 3 months ago:
Rock. And. Stone.
I am so stoked. I love everything DRG and I have constantly been impressed by the developers. Hell you can even go back and play past “seasons” and there aren’t any micro transactions beyond skin bundles for real money as DLC. They honestly put so much love and care into drg and it really shows.
Will def be buying this day one.
- Comment on CachyOS founder explains why they didn't join the new Open Gaming Collective (OGC) 4 months ago:
Ah yes. The classic this open source maintainer should donate his time the way I think he should.
A group project is non-optional. How someone donates their time is entirely up to them.
- Comment on Brave overhauls adblock engine, cutting its memory consumption by 75% 5 months ago:
So, I’m guessing they coded it originally with an LLM, and then used more LLMs to optimize and fix the shit from the first pass.

What is this referring to?
- Comment on Riot Games is making an anti-cheat change that could be rough on older PCs 5 months ago:
Don’t be ignorant. That isnt what this is at all. It’s not like the game has more access, it’s actually less. They’re just enforcing hardware attestation.
Basically just the motherboard saying, (cryptographically) yes as far as I know, the kernel and system running are secure and weren’t modified. And in this case they found a bad bug in that system, and next year they may start requiring people parch update their motherboard firmware to a version that doesn’t have the bug.
So this, is not a root kit, and does not grant them “bios access” they want to be unable to modify the BIOS / OS at boot just as much as they want cheaters to be unable to do that. It’s the same as the general cryptography paradigm, there is no secure backdoor to cryptography, and it’s the same here. If RIOT had access to the UEFI (BIOS), cheaters have access to if. They’re just leveraging an entirely safe attestation from the UEFI to say it is secure.

Right I feel like an ultra simple car / truck with no fancy features but an electric motor would actually being something to market that would sell. Eap when it should be $30k or less.
- Comment on Fedora Linux project agrees to allow AI-assisted contributions with a new policy 7 months ago:
Imo, better to allow it cautiously, with restrictions, and very explicitly mark code as AI generated when it is, than to have people submitting code secretly made by AI.
Furthermore, let’s be honest AI knows anything it knows about coding because of open source code. So take what you can get I guess. Just keep the quality up.

Seems like there’s a security vulnerability here. Ship bad extension. Update code to not be bad. Conditionally rollback based on remote server. Can pick who you attack conditionally and most people don’t have bad code running.
