This doesn’t affect valve at all though. It’s borrowing their tech that they’ve made open source, and figuring out how to use it elsewhere outside of steam.
Actually, it’ll benefit them. More eyes are on proton and any fix will benefit everyone, including games played via steam.
Ah yes. I missed that bit. Thanks :)
So if an iPhone gets stolen, would having Find My completely disabled actually be a bad thing if we’re trying to improve device security? I see that’s listed in the article.
Would this affect the ability to use the remote lock & wipe functionality?
She’s already quit over “integrity” because she sent an attachment over her personal gmail account, so I guess she just doesn’t want to be seen as a repeat offender.
It feels more like she’s thinking she can say it and get away with it to me. If she gets fired, she can always proclaim that the woke left has infiltrated the party and got her fired.
As others have mentioned, the main caveat here is that anti cheat games can work if the developers enable the support.
I’ve been playing dead by daylight very happily for a good few months now on Linux. Apex legends has also got official support for Linux as well.
They watch the horny pokemon things, probably. Rule 34 and all that.
It’ll be used by a lot of Linux distributions.
It’s a drop-in replacement to the Pulseaudio and JACK audio systems, with the hopes of making audio handling decent within Linux with as low latency as they can.
Eh, WSL is still enough like Linux that it could be the best option for a lot of people. No risk to the computer being unable to boot whilst still giving you the ability to play with Linux tooling.
And credit where credit’s due: Microsoft details how to do a bare metal install, which is the most likely option to wipe Windows from your machine in the first place.
Maybe they didn’t expect the towers to actually fall?
Copying one of my favourite (and last saved) comments from Reddit:
The most precious commodity we have is our time on this planet, and we have far less of it than we realise. The time we choose to spend together is a gift we give to each other.
Appreciate the gift of their precious commodity that they give you, don’t expect more than they are willing to give, but don’t squander your precious resource with someone who doesn’t appreciate your gift.
It’s an email alias service that generates a gibberish albeit unique email which then forwards on any received emails to your specified email inbox.
As far as I can tell there’s no way to link the two together unless you can see where the emails are being forwarded to.
DuckDuckGo offers a similar service (but free), also Proton (simple login) and addy.io (formerly AnonAddy).
Unsure about firefox relay specifically, but I’ve used DuckDuckGo and simple login (after it was acquired by proton) and both have to process the email first before it forwards it onto you. In the case of DDG, they also helpfully strip out any trackers in the email they pick up too.
That’s more point in time location sharing rather than real time.
I see “real time” I think it updates where I am on a map for as long as I’ve specified, similar to what WhatsApp and telegram do.
It’s a feature I’d really like in signal, though.
The one anti-spam module in the server code and… what else is proprietary?
FCM? The thing they need to give android users (with Google play services installed) notifications?
This would be a lovely thing if signal also enables the interoperability.
I can’t remember where I’ve seen it, probably on the signal community forum, but I don’t believe signal have any plans to integrate the interoperability stuff; specifically because they can’t guarantee their users won’t have metadata collected by third parties like Meta.
Cat? I’m a kitty cat. And I dance dance dance and I dance dance dance. 🎶
GB is metric and it’s easy for us to remember. E.g. 1000 bytes = 1 Kilobyte, 1000 kilobytes = megabyte and so on.
GiB is the binary value. In binary, you have to work in powers of 2. That is… the values double every time (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and so on…). 1024 bytes = 1 KiB, 1024 KiB = 1 MiB
Since computers work in binary, and 1000 isn’t a number that’s easy to deal with in binary, we use the closest value available to us, 1024. In fact, back in the days when people were only concerned about KBs, they would say that 1000 KB = 1024 KiB.
Of course, we’re now working with TBs rather than KBs. Everything ramps up including the amount of “missing” space an OS reports on a hard drive.
I know windows tries to be helpful and shows you the value of a drive in GB, rather than its GiB value. Ever wonder why a 1TB hard drive appears as ~931GBs? This is why. Other OSes tend to show you the GiB value since that’s generally a lot more accurate.
I tend to find that for every complaint there’s at least 10 more people out there using their Apple devices quite happily.
Use what you want or that works best for you at the end of the day.
I made the switch to iPhone after my nexus 5 had a system crash when I tried to toggle the WiFi off/on. Haven’t really looked back since.
Actually, it seems Apple are going in the opposite direction.
They redesigned the internals of the iPhone 14 which iFixit really liked and they’ve got their own self service repair program so you can buy legitimate Apple parts, although admittedly you could imagine the EU had a huge influence on this.
It’s taken them a few years to get these up and running, but seems like they’re slowly getting to the right point. Maybe this year the pro/pro max will use the redesigned internals architecture to make those more repairable but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
They haven’t dropped the requirement, but you have to manually go in and disable that check yourself on the windows 11 installer if you want to install it on a non-tpm 2.0 machine
Basically, it’s a faff that only the techie people will realistically do. Everyone else will just go out and buy new hardware.
