We already know that Israeli cyber company has spyware called pegasus, that can 0-click attacks to ios and Android. It is one time hack, and it is removed on boot. They sell it as service. This is why cyber security centers recommend boot once a day.

This can be resolved by building the data centers to cold countries like here in Finland. Servers are very good at converting electricity to heat, and the heat can be used to heat homes.

Microsoft Azure data center in Espoo is going to heat up 60% of the city’s district heating network.

Also the electricity here in Finland is one of the cleanest, like in all Nordics (hydro, wind, nuclear)


If steam is included, 12b is a joke, if just valves game rights, meaning HL and CS, then the price is not THAT stupid (still quite).

Maybe this would be the way go get HL3, it would ofc be horrible cashgrab, but HL3 would be out.

Edit: bit details, in 2021 Valve had $10b revenue from steam, and $3b revenue from other sources (heh, source, get it)


There is huge gap between 3.5 and 4 especially in coding related questions. GPT3.5 does not have large enough token size to handle harder code related questions.


5h in to the game, and just scratched the surface. Feels very good.


Oh jeez, rule34 is going to be full of lovenders nsfw now

edit: fucking hell, it had already from before, what’s wrong with you


It is a small indie team, that doesn’t want to crunch their devs. I can live with that.


Valheim is one of the best, especially with frends




Addicted people with poor self-control are abused in these kind of microtransactions. This should be illegal.



Main problem with game like this, is that you are probably not going to have it running more than 6 months with heavy loads, after that you can scale everything down.

If you have a business that is going to run 10-20 years, you can build complex solutions to optimize the cost.

In this kind of rocket like need of global computing power, the cloud is only real solution.


No one in their right mind would deploy own servers for this kind of load. It fluctuate way too much and in half a year you have unused servers that are junk. Initial purchase price would be millions, and setup would take months.

They are definately running in some cloud, and 500k/month is about what you would expect to host servers for a popular game like this in close to launch.


Same as any library/framework upgrade in code: if you don’t upgrade, you will not eventually get any new features/security updates/asset etc. If you have stopped development, then no point, but if you plan for support game for longer period, it makes sense. Also in the future if UE 7 brings something awesome, upgrade from UE5->UE7 is much harder than two simpler version upgrades.

And ofc this thing is clear scam, so this was just in general



If non DRM version is given to reviewers, it will leak to crackers, unless you control 100% of reviewers you give a copy. This does not make any sense.


If those users are just dead weight to them, it makes business sense to even convert 10% them to their main ad filled product, and let the 90% go away. They want to go public and sell, they are definitely last stage of pulling a cash grab.



Krita is really good, smallest learning curve from Photoshop


Krita is the most Photoshop like that I have found. GIMP is of course awesome, but if you are used to Photoshop, GIMP is bit though to learn.


How do you sub/unsub community in summit?
