- Comment on Full Circle / EA confirm again that skate. will not support Linux, Steam Deck or macOS 2 weeks ago:
EA seem almost malicious the way they're going against the tide of developers supporting Steam Deck / Proton. Online shooters is one thing, but this is a fucking skateboarding game.
- Comment on Hades 2 version 1.0 finally has a release date, praise Zeus and the rest of them 2 weeks ago:
Hades 2 version 1.0 arrives September 25th, as announced during today's Nintendo Direct.
- Comment on Huawei enters the GPU market with 96 GB VRAM GPU under 2000 USD, meanwhile NVIDIA sells from 10,000+ (RTX 6000 PRO) 4 weeks ago:
It can fit larger models, but does a decent sdk exist for integration with current tools? How fast is it compared to an Nvidia card?
- Comment on UK Withdraws Apple iCloud Backdoor Demand Following US Diplomatic Push 1 month ago:
The first option is unlikely, Apple said no but the UK were probably already speaking to their Five Eyes pals in the US. I don't think they ever expected Apple to relent and it was all just a gambit in the larger picture.
The second option, by far the most likely in my opinion.
The third option, the US doesn't need Apple to cooperate so this also seems unlikely.
Remember, any individual or group of people can be subject to secret gag orders around US intelligence capabilities. Tim Cook can say whatever he says, but you can't believe a word of it as a result.
- Comment on UK Withdraws Apple iCloud Backdoor Demand Following US Diplomatic Push 1 month ago:
Why would the UK do that? My money's on a new deal to get access through US intelligence agencies instead of directly through Apple.
- Comment on Just over a week on from the last one, there's a fresh Battlefield 6 leak here that shows the return of Rush 2 months ago:
So many of the games I want to play run on Linux now, I no longer have a Windows install available to play this with EAs incompatible anti-cheat. It's a pity, but I'm not going back.
