Special purpose keyboards can make sense (see e.g. music editing keyboards with sliders and volume knobs), but I'm with you that in this case the website totally fails at making a case for it.

Both of those games are live services games. They're not just getting some occasional bug fixes, they get big content updates.

My argument isn't that one side is right and the other one is wrong. I'm not asking for sensitivity towards any side either. I'm talking about there being change at all. I'm hoping for more honesty in these discussions.

Sure, but that's just arguing over the morality of terms. On the one side you have people worried that their culture is being destroyed, on the other side you have people worried that their culture isn't represented. Both sides se

What's the difference between calling it "woke agenda" or "market changes"? Seems to me you agree with the other poster, that AAA game devs now make games targeted towards different people.

If Steam were that shallow you would see competing efforts like Origin, Uplay, Epic Games Store etc take off. In reality Steam is anything but shallow, it's the cumulation of two decades of adding customer focused features. Competing e

If Apple locks supplier prices for years in advance, then why is it raising the prices of all its products? Just greed?

That depends on where you live. In my country the government keeps an up-to-date db. Everything else in the country depends on and queries that db too, so it's not isolated.

The designing is the hard part. Writing code from a comprehensive design spec is a small part of the task. So, people do know how to design a feature, but they also know it takes a lot of time and effort. They want AI to do that work for th

Yes and Svelte automatically namespaces them, so there's no collisions.

I found the At a glance section especially funny. Just a ton of buzzwords compressed together. One of the most dense tables I've ever seen on GitHub.

This is answered in the first paragraph of the article. Painting requires re-calculating the weight, strength and aerodynamics. Paint does not weigh zero, it changes the flexibility of the plastic, and the texture which changes flow.

Well as someone who does buy PC fans, let me tell you that Noctua is clearly superior. It may be just a plastic fan with some bearings, but it doesn't seem to be easily replicable because nobody has managed to do it.

> does not impact performance at all Noctua fans are still the top #1 performers in the world. You can argue that it's diminishing returns and you can get a fan with 90% of the performance for 50% of the money, but that doesn&#x27

As I read it I couldn't help but envision this being a simple case of LLM-automated support going wrong. The mistakenly transferred domain was in the e-mail that asked for a transfer.

Kind of hilarious though that it talks about scope creep and then transitions into a whole different long topic.

It's tradition at this point. Based on the upvotes the comment receives, it looks like many readers find value in it.

They do not. I've never had to present any documentation whatsoever to Hetzner and have been a happy customer for many years. As I understand it, they ask only from accounts that check several boxes for common cases of abuse. So basica

OnlyFans already has a lot of AI generated content. If you look at the usual scammer gathering places, you'll see a bunch of dudes discussing the latest trends in polishing their virtual OF models.

You can, but it's more than a warning. VeraCrypt has a signed kernel driver, which has higher requirements. You'll need to boot into a special Windows mode and disable Driver Signature Enforcement.

What about Valve itself? They have ~350 employees. They make Steam, SteamOS, Steam Deck, Steam Machine, Steam Frame, the Source engine, and run four actively successful live service games: CS2, Dota2, TF2, Deadlock.

Hardcore gamers were the reason behind a whole new chip type being introduced - the GPU. This was also when this market was a lot smaller. I don’t see this changing. The market will continue rewarding chips that cater to it. It is absolutel

What are you talking about? The top 3 most played games on Steam are all “involuntary pvp” games - Counter-Strike, Dota 2, PUBG. These are all games with a lot of age on them as well. None of them are easy for new players, with Dota 2 in pa
