  What’s well intentioned about not letting me use Cheat Engine on my own game. I’m not interacting with anyone else, I can’t ruin the game’s economy, or make people’s PvP experience worse. The worst thing I could do is make my own experience worse. They’re even including macro’s in that – A wide-spread accessibility feature.

  I already bought the game, what incentive is there to make sure I can’t enjoy it?

  Probably thinking of Empress. The most recent Denuvo game to be cracked was Dead Island 2, which is a year and a half ago. And if we don’t count Empress or MKDEV*, (because it’s reasonable to assume they aren’t going to want to crack this), then it’s eFootball in 2020: 4 years ago.

  *MKDEV used to only crack Football Manager, as to allow modding. Football Manager now allows a method for MKDEV’s mod to run without removing Denuvo.

  Responding to the comment on the sensor quality.

  By posting this image, the takeaway that I think most people will have is that the phone camera will be somewhere around 4.4 by 3.3mm, and that’s 1.5% of what you want. But this one, the one in the article’s sensor is 9.8 by 7.4mm, somewhere in the middle of this chart.

  It’s also not a direct apples to apples comparison, because phones are smaller and thus have smaller lenses and so smaller sensors make more sense. If bigger is always better, then big cinema cameras would be even bigger, but they’re usually full frame. A smaller sensor doesn’t have to be worse, it just has to be more compact, meaning it’s more expensive, and that would often translate to worse, but in phones, compactness is a valued feature.*

  *There are physical limitations to how much light will hit a surface.

  Those recommended thumbnails are real big! Does anyone want them that big? Description and comments on the side is good though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda update Fallout 4 for your "next-generation PC"⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoyed the VR version of this a lot more and for longer than the flat version. Unlikely but it would be cool if when they updated the game they’d update the VR version too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised macOS is in decline given that their product is pretty good and improving, and it’s integrated with popular devices. Still a pretty healthy 16%.

  The market share for Linux nearly doubling in a year in the USA is brilliant. Let’s hope the trend continues worldwide.
