The openness of the Linux operating systems makes it an attractive one for cheaters and cheat developers. Linux cheats are indeed harder to detect and the data shows that they are growing at a rate that requires an outsized level of focus and attention from the team for a relatively small platform.

So like, they put Easy Anti-cheat in the game and had it enabled for Linux, but its not good enough to actually function as an anti-cheat on linux? At least it can’t function well enough without failing a cost-benefit analysis?

Side note: i never realized that Epic Games makes Easy Anti-Cheat

every new thing i learn about Star Citizen is like far sketchier than the last thing I learned about it.

The Henry Stickmin Collection is a set of games that were on Newgrounds that is a choose your own adventure game with a ton of references to other things. From Marvel VS Capcom 2’s Ironman Infinite combo to Jojo.

It’s made by the same developers as Among Us

I think thats a pretty big achievement that it runs at all on the wrong instruction set. RISC-V development really seems to have come far

When I bought my last PSU and GPU it also came with a diagram like this, so that’s how I plugged in the cables. I guess its better to balance the power draw for the GPU over both the GPU ports on the PSU, rather than try to pull it all through one cable.

The annoying thing for me was that my PSU (a Seasonic) didn’t come with single GPU power cables, and only came with the ones with 2 ends, so they’re a little ugly just hanging there.

It seems like the phone is applying wayy too much of some kind of sharpening filter. Are you zooming in very far? Cuz it may be trying to compensate for digital zoom by sharpening the image afterwards. If you’ve got a Pro mode setting on the camera app, maybe try using that instead and get closer to your subject, if possible. Pro mode should hopefully stop the app from applying any touch-ups to the image it thinks it needs.

kinda hard to make video games if you keep laying off the people who make video games…

my heart goes out to those in the industry going through all this crap, man

the interns

Tangentially related, but I remember being in college when Tesla was like starting to take off. Like the Model S had just come out. I went to one of the Tesla internship presentations on campus and listened to some of the people who had the internship the previous year and they talked about how they were pulling like, 60+ hour weeks and that they had like, a shuttle that ran all throughout the night to take them from the workplace to the housing. Some talked about going back home at like 3AM, and then showing up for work again at 8AM. It really sounded kind of like it would be a very stressful experience and I didn’t even want to apply after listening to it. I guess they were paid well, but

Sounds like things have only gotten way more chaotic since then

Yeah im in the US. I use Tmobile and it works fine for me, 5G and all. Looking at the bands that the POCO F5 supported, it seemed like only Tmoblie uses one of the radio frequencies that the F5 uses for 5G. That probably means that I wont have 5G everywhere in the country, but I lucked out and its good for where I live.

With MIUI, i did not have the option of Wifi calling with Tmobile, for some reason, but on Paranoid Android it works just fine.

IIRC the F5 had more bands that worked with Tmobile and AT&T for LTE

Edit: This was when I bought it. Carrier band support may have changed since Nov 2023

I got a Xiaomi POCO F5 recently that might fit all your Must criteria (idk about size), but another Xiaomi may work. Just if you’re located somewhere that doesn’t use the Type C Socket, you may need an adapter or a different 67W charger

Xiaomi has a bootloader unlock process, though it is a bit involved. You’ve gotta put your SIM in the new phone, create a Xiaomi then you’ve gotta run their bootloader unlock software, which needs a Windows Computer, idk if it runs in a VM, if thats an issue for you. Then you’ve gotta keep your SIM in the phone and have it on for a full 7 days and then run the bootloader unlock software again, which will wipe your phone, but now the bootloader is unlocked

You do have to use MIUI for a week before you can wipe it and try something else, but once you go through it its fine. I’ve been using Paranoid Android on mine with no issues.

This should apply to any recent Xiaomi phone. Just something for your consideration

ooh ok lmao I don’t really pay attention to CoD so idk much about it.

I guess a lot of older games that show up on the list are free multiplayer games that still get new content like Fortnite, Roblox, League, and Apex, so they’re accessible, probably already a part of people’s routines at this point, and at least have new things every once in a while to keep it interesting.

Also I wonder why they lumped CoD Modern Warfare II, III, and Warzone together as one game

I lost it at the musical number. Most certainly one of the most games of all time

There was one time I got spam calls just one after another for a good 15 minutes in a row. Like as soon as I’d reject the call, another one would come in. I ended up just turning off my phone for an hour or so. We’re really in a bad state with spam
