Trump losing would be an epic troll then. Holding out for almost 3 years only to see your only hope crumbling away.

I mean they’ll add a few days of extra buffer to the personnel shortage.

Your comparison between phones and VR/AR is reasonable but a bit different as when windows phones were discontinued, Microsoft had pretty much lost the phone os race. Also the windows phones sucked, I’ve used them…

IMO microsoft gave vr/ar a fair chance. They might have been early, but if we are eg. a full decade off must buy VR, then it might not be worth waiting.

There goes another “red line” without any meaningful response from russia.

They are technically correct in that it’s the developers fault that they tied themselves to a proprietary game engine.

In the other hand Godot was nowhere near mature when the slay the spire devs most likely started development. They would be dumb if they used unity for their next game 🤷

I’d guess that companies that failed to turn profit when money was cheap are most likely doomed. However not all of the hype companies are like that. Some could be barely profitable, but shareholder pressure might push them to heavier monetization practices.

To OP: this is a much clearer & better explanation for what I was trying to say.

This is an imperfect analogy, but think of updating between Windows 10 and 11 versus installing updates on windows 10 or win 11.

I have no experience with Fedora, but AFAIK at least in Ubuntu/Debian land, updates are installed from OS version specific package repositories. When the version of the OS is no longer supported, those repositories might not receive updates anymore.

EDIT: this is the main reason I have a rolling release distro on most of my personal machines. The package repos have the newest packages without having to update my OS major version every now and then.

I found steamdb.info. According to them Godot seems to be growing steadily.

If you want a small phone, then look for rugged ones. There are a lot of options with screen sizes all the way down to sub 4". Finding one with android 12 or 13 might take some work, but they are out there.

After watching the video the main thought I have in my mind is that the whole issue could have been subverted by building two sets of executables. One with DRM and one without. The DRM free version could then be stored for potential future use. That way you wouldn’t have to necessarily maintain the build environment.

Obviously this wouldn’t have occurred to me if I was building the game, but I hope the companies learned as soon as they ran across the issue the first time.

I sure hope none of those cracks were licensed in a way that would cause trouble for unauthorized commercial use 🤷

My bad. You don’t need a rocket to launch stuff.

I mean you could stay in space, if you were to reach escape velocity. Heat might be an issue though.

Tweaking the nuke to achieve a specific orbit might prove to be difficult. Also it’s not like Blue Origin has nukes right?

Their government has been trying to keep the issue of aid in the public interest for a reason. Sometimes they might go too far, but I think people underestimate the fear a country would experience if they were highly dependent on outside help. Especially if it wasn’t guaranteed to continue due to changes in the political leadership in the other countries.

As always the headline is somewhat misleading.

Yes. OSRS reviews on steam are still listed as very positive.

That’s a job for the parents though isn’t it? And for early teenagers people seem to forget what positive influence the internet could have on their lives. Eg. many IT workers started fiddling around with stuff when they were quite young.

Obviously that has to be reflected in the price of the product. Presumably even more so with storage.

Also there might be a use case, where cost is paramount and the drive would experience very limited writes.

I’ve got a personal anecdote that’s not entirely the same, but I’ve bought a bunch of flash chips from china to use with retro games. Those are often salvaged, but they are also cheap and available to buy. It doesn’t matter if the chips can’t take too many write cycles, if you only flash them a couple of times.
