So many capital letters in that headline, it reads like my grandma trying to figure out texting.

And the trademarks were sleazily grabbed from the original creator :/

"Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec"

Amen to that

It's never a good sign when you have to say something like that...

Google's dream of hijacking an open standard (on Android at least) is achieved :/

"Wayland" doesn't support any GPU's, it's the job of each GPU driver to support Wayland (and Nvidia's now does).

I think this news only affects Humble Games but not Humble Bundle, confusingly they are separate but semi-related businesses these days.

Police in the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel pulled Irsay over after observing a man in a Toyota Highlander driving slowly, stopping in the roadway and failing to use a turn signal.

Lol. Yeah police across the world are constantly pulling over Toyota Highlanders driving like a confused elderly lady merging on to an interstate, everyone knows that's the profile for a whiny jackass billionaire.

Only if they manage Crowdstrike systems, thankfully.

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people understand that RISC-V doesn't mean every RISC-V SoC is open. It's only the underlying architecture that's actually open.

Unfortunately multiple sources seem to agree Dong Nguyen has no involvement, which is consistent with the way he originally shut down Flappy Bird due to people spending too much time on it :(

"The Flappy Bird Foundation said it has acquired the official Flappy Bird trademark from Gametech Holdings LLC, a U.S. company that appears to have wrestled the trademark from Nguyen, as well as the rights for the original game and character from Piou Piou vs. Cactus, the mobile game that supposedly originally inspired the Flappy Bird character."

I never thought I would see a year where Zenimax managed to crank out both an Arkane and a Bethesda release but still got no real traction.

They bought Bungie specifically to help them launch Live Service games, but now Bungie's own game is cratering. Understandable why they wouldn't have a ton of confidence launching a bunch of them now, but I can't really say I'm sad about it.

You can try hacking support for Widevine DRM into Waydroid using the third party "waydroid_script" tool, but obviously no guarantees: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script#integrate-widevine-drm-l3

Nerrrrrrd.

...I would say "What about SECAMworld?", but that definitely sounds like a nsfw cam models site.

Which is terribly underperforming when you consider how many more dogs exist in proximity to humans compared to hippos. If a prankster wizard suddenly conjured a few million hippos into homes around the world you can bet they wouldn't settle for merely snuffing out 50x-70x more humans. On the upside, they'd definitely chomp a lot of people we don't like too

...what?

A busted kernel module/driver/plug-in/whatever that triggers a bootloop is going to require intervention on any platform no matter whether the code happens to be published somewhere out on the internet or not. On top of that, Windows allows you to control/remove 3rd party kernel drivers just like on Linux, which is exactly what many of us have been stuck doing on endless devices for the last three days.

I fully advocate for open-source software and use it where I can, but I also think we should do that by talking about its actual advantages instead of just making up nonsense that will make experienced sysadmins spit out their coffee.

Just started it this morning and having fun so far, now I just need someone to make a game in the spirit of Sly Cooper!

It sounds like you're referring to the National Socialist German Workers' Party of WWII infamy. People are probably going to assume something else, FYI.

Twitter (sorry, X.com) is also privately held now so it's not always a happy story :/

Wayland is just a protocol, issues need to be fixed by devs of the apps/toolkits that have still haven't migrated over unfortunately.

It probably would've been useful to include the list of actual games:

"The three games included are: The Wing of Madoola, Firework Thrower Kantaro’s 53 Stations of the Tokaido and Ripple Island."

Both are better than folded sex though, you only make that mistake once.

Now I miss my Nokia N9 :(

Huh? Crowdstrike is an antivirus product, you're only affected if you bought and installed it on your Windows devices. Crowdstrike also had issues with their Linux version a few weeks ago, but that one was thankfully less severe.

Are you implying they list...less than four reasons?

Love it

In many cases you can, but there's never a guarantee that a given IP address will have reverse DNS records configured for resolve it into. On top of that, if it's a major site it's likely hosted behind a content delivery network that may a share a single IP address across thousands or even millions of completely unrelated servers. Cloudflare does some pretty interesting stuff with that approach: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-servers-dont-own-ips-anymore/ edit: bad at typing

I had no idea this started out on HP-UX, I can't imagine a lot of popular commercial games started out on niche Unixes.

I was so excited

I think that one would have to come from Bandai.

Even assuming they did make development decisions to benefit advertising partners, how on earth would choosing not to optimize performance actually benefit them?

Good god, someone who actually read the OP's question and replied with information respondent to it instead of just shrieking "how dare you not use the distro I like" at them. I was starting to think that was banned around here :)

That's what it sounds like to me, but it's a bit unclear admittedly.

Windows now handles 7z files natively too (at least as of the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 version), I'm glad they've at least added some legit new features for File Explorer.

This makes it so that your ISP doesn't see the actual name of the server/site you're communicating with, only the IP address. Without Encrypted Hello they're able to see both.

Powerful imagery

I don't recall them mentioning anything about efficiency or battery life improvements in the presentation, and you know they know they would've made a big deal about it if they had any progress to show :(

Blundering around completely lost resulted in some of my best times playing Skyrim, it was a real bummer Starfield didn't have that kind of experience.

Oh man, you just inspired me to dig through multiple boxes and dust off my Caanoo (and it's older brother the GP32).
