Man if you use Makita tools really really well but your coworker hates your tools and does the exact same job but with Milwaukee, does the customer care?

So really, who cares. Tools are tools.

For some people, Linux is their hobby. I wouldn't dare say someone's hobby is bad even if it's not for me.

I use Linux a lot for robotics. I use windows a lot for sysadmin at work. I need both and both work and get out of my way. Ultimately it's the things I do with my tools that make me consider their value.

It's like the difference between someone preaching and someone who does. Words are cheap. Actions speak louder than words. People who talk about one or the other should have little influence on your consideration of an os. People who get stuff done, the stuff you want done. They're the ones you watch.

This study has nothing to do with that. It only surveyed mobile gaming.

I prefer a really well told story over a pick your own adventure. Character flaws, growth, emotional connections and situational realities are all able to be masterfully written when in control. But if you can't write well, just make an interesting playground and leave it up to the player and blame them for a boring game. :)

First party sites are how my credit card gets leaked every single time. The incompetence is thorough at every level.

My personal trick is even in my own country to get new travel credit cards regularly. The first one I got was scammed on my first booking. I alerted the hotel and they said it couldn't possibly be them. They're the only company that ever got those details it can only be them.

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like if you finish a session of valorant, the anti cheat never unloads and continues to monitor memory and files.

Easy Anticheat though, according so some sources, only runs during game play.

Riots Anticheat has a bad history though. But both essentially are black boxes that send details both hash and samples back to their owners for them to approve what's on it computer. Opened a medical record? It's probably been hashed and sent back.

Opened your employers accounting files when working from home? details you probably sent riot a copy.

Both can be updated. There's no guarantees that riot won't do something nasty against a portion of high value targets. They know you from your payment details. They can identify, update the module and get anything they like, they have root.

Anticheat has a history of being a tool for hackers. https://www.vice.com/en/article/hackers-are-using-anti-cheat-in-genshin-impact-to-ransom-victims/

There's no upside for the user. Mostly because they don't work anyway.

Just compile your kernel with the anti cheat flags and telemetry enabled from source.

Stretched limousines exist by this very method. I'm Australian but the concept wasn't started here. https://www.belle.net.au/building-a-stretch-limousine/

Edit:

We do know of limousines that have been shipped back to the USA for failing to meet Australian standards.

I'd say it's easier in many American states.

Oh you think you exist somehow outside the simulation and are not just a construct of it. The Truman of the show.

What a great post. I haven't used pcsx2 since I wrote a yakuza guide probably decades ago. But that post was great to read.

I feel like you understand the text book but didn't know the application.
