Should've started with "Hello Neo"
This extension should allow you to set basically anything you want for YouTube. Preferred resolution, audio level, playback speed and much more. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-...
Maybe that person went to a place where they could get Internet, downloaded the game to a suitable storage medium and dragged it over from there into their steam folder at home.
I would not say that this will necessarily be hugely expensive. People who would have waited for a crack would not have paid anyways. The only impact is them getting to play the game at the same time as everybody else.
Based on how many games using only the in-built DRM in Steam are cracked I'd guess that "lock-in" is really not that big of an issue, if at all. Other DRMs are far more invasive than the Steam DRM.
Don't forget to use Blockchain
The Steam DRM doesn't appear to be too terribly difficult to crack, considering there are so many cracks of steam games out there.
> 2. They demand full support from game devs, despite only making up an absolutely tiny fraction of the customer base. They routinely make up less then 0.1% of sales (!), but cause 20%+ of support tickets[0]. No sane…
How many people would actually listen if they aren't at least mildly interested in technology?
This is Gold, though I'm not sure if this is satire. Especially point 8 sounds like satire, but maybe that's just my Linux-infected brain and not what normal people think.
> users should be warned of the issue so they can act accordingly, and not stay in the dark until someone discovers the hack. What part of this sentence did you not understand? It's about WARNING the user before they do…
That kinda defeats the purpose of airplane mode, doesn't it?
100% of what is in the link you sent is in the original link.
They shouldn't be able to pull Rocket League from customers who already have it in their library. They couldn't do it with other games like Metro Exodus either.
These two consoles may be pretty close to EOL. If the next consoles have vulkan it would absolutely make sense to use vulkan more.
I recently started to change over to linux for gaming and I was pleasantly surprised by how many games work through lutris.
Please elaborate
Why one shouldn't use cloud-based services. I'm sticking to keepass. (I'm syncing the keepass file over a cloud, but I still have a local copy on all my devices against cases like these)
Actually the RTX 2080 has only 256bit. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-2080.c3224 The 2080 ti has 352bit. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-2080-ti.c3... Interestingly, Nvidia decided…
Ah yes, who needs privacy anyways. Why not just abolish everything protecting consumers. Let's live pure capitalism. /s
I actually quite liked that. Adds something more to the text imo.
I would suggest anyone interested in de-googlifying their phone and willong to do it themselves to check out https://lineage.microg.org/. It comes with less preinstalled apps (bloat sounded a bit harsh) For maps I'm…
don't forget powerdraw.
Starpage is now owned by an advertising company. I wouldn't rely on them not tracking me.
I'm using OsmAnd+ found on f-droid. It works very well, you'll just have to download the maps you need before.
