There's still a gear grind so you can progress in your item score, but you don't have to kill 30 rats and run around farming herbs for 2 hours just to do a raid.

It may not require a subscription fee, but that's really only a minor concern.
Having my video surveillance be uploaded to a cloud service and having to use some proprietary app to use my device is the real problems.
If you want security cameras, look for boring Power over Ethernet cameras that have an RTSP output. They connect to your network and provide a video stream out a specific port. Then you can plug that into whatever FOSS network video recording system you're using (Zone Minder or Frigate) and then you can access it like you access any other thing on your local network.
Never goes to a cloud, never leaves your house.
The product page says it offers cloud storage. Though you maybe can use it offline by recording to an SD card.
So it may not require a subscription, but it still requires an online service... which kind of misses the point that people make about these things being privacy nightmares.
It wasn't the fee that people were worried about, it was the network video camera uploading to a cloud service which can be accessed by the secret police.
The Internet was rife with rumors at the time, this is likely just an echo of the rampant speculation that was occurring.
It was around the time that TOR hidden services were making their way into mainstream tech circles (and law enforcement) and people were getting arrested with encrypted hard drives and law enforcement was upset that they couldn't subpoena Mathematics and force it to turn over the keys.
So, when Bitlocker stopped updating and the message appeared people just tied it into the things that were happening at the time.
"For your convenience"
That’d be case 3: when in doubt, detain. Blatantly illegal.
The point of these programs is to eliminate 'doubt', the agent KNOWS that the machine is saying that the target should be detained and that's all they need for an excuse to effect an arrest.
The fact that their knowledge is based on flawed technology isn't something that you can argue in the field, only in front of a judge which is well after you've been arrested.
This technology is used like drug sniffing dogs are used now. They provide an excuse, probable cause, and the fact that it's completely possible to arbitrarily generate probable cause isn't something that helps you during your encounter.
It's a shit tactic but, absent legislation from a working government, law enforcement can get away with shady and unconstitutional tactics. Since we don't have a functioning federal government we have to deal with these shady tactics from law enforcement and hope that courts will eventually find the truth.

It may be the gains from having dedicated hardware to run DLSS and RT.
Of course, It does drop into the 70s during combat and in some outdoor areas.
If they scan your face and it says you're illegally in the country then you're getting arrested, no matter what evidence you have to the contrary.
False positives are arrested and held in custody until the legal system can get to them.
I could be wǎng yǒu, could yī píng OP and ask?
I played this morning before work, worked just fine.
It uses EAC, which may be a kernel anticheat on Windows, but on Linux it runs in user space.


e: Oh, sorry I misread your question. I haven't seen a lightbulb socket powerline adapter. There's no reason why they can't exist though afaik. e2: Lighbulb socket -> power plug adapter -> insert the rest here
You'd use a few things in a chain. Socket -> Ethernet over Power connection -> Cat6 cable -> Power over Ethernet injector -> Cat6 -> PoE Camera
If you want to hook up multiple cameras to one power plug, go Socket -> Ethernet over Power -> Switch -> PoE power injector on each of your camera lines -> etc
You can also buy switches that do the PoE injection for you so you don't need multiple injectors. You'd have to compare the prices, but the PoE switch is likely cheaper than a regular switch + multiple PoE injectors.
