I am not into competitive gaming but I’ll be damned if I understand why the the anti-cheat modules are built into the game instead of being an aditional package that is installed and verified through the tournament platform.

There are a few EU alternatives. Why are those not being considered.

LiberaPay is one.

Hey, Nelson! How are you doing? Are they busting your chops?

Debian is my daily driver and for regular people I help. Comes with a service card saying “it will work and you will like it”.

I help for free. If someone does not like it, they can pay to have what they want done. But they don’t get to ask for help again.

Debian

Enough said.

I did and nowhere is Signal mentioned in the article.

You state Whatsapp uses Signal. So, again: how?

To my knowledge, under Signal, the encription keys are locally generated and stored, and the traffic flows between end points as a closed packet.

This does not seem to be the case here, as the keys are generated and stored outside your equipment and, thus, are viable to be used by a third party to access packets.

But I admit I speak heavily burdened by technical ignorance.

How?

We all should. Even go a bit further and write things by hand!

If overall visibility was improved, the argument for onboard cameras would be half dead. If the concern is clearance for objects, apply proximity sensors, by owner request and option and preferably by aftermarket kits.

Telemetry can burn in a trash can.

Don’t know. But thank you for the warning.

GOG sent an email the other day warning the game was on discount and after taking another look at hardware the requirements it felt like a good benchmark for the technology of the time.

It was heavy back then.

I moved to a DDR4/AM4 platform when I assembled my current machine because the AM3 platform was being labelled as end of cycle and the FM segment seemed too niche.

The scales tiped when I discovered many AM4 CPUs carried on chip graphic processing capabilities and being in need of a graphics card it was more affordable for me to just buy an APU than buy a CPU and add a GPU on top.

Not being a gamer and a Linux user, throwing money on a graphics card, that by then were heavily price inflated, made little sense, so I opted by the AM4 platform.

Currently, I’m considering building a machine capable of running Wasteland 2, because that game has been under my eye for years.

I’m finding graphic cards with 4GB of memory on the market with very interesting prices. Used CPUs are cheap, unless I aim for the top tier models, with 6 or more cores. I still have the memory chips from the machine I retired (8GB) and getting an additional 8 is nothing out of reach. I just need to find a motherboard that can take 16GB or more of memory.

If I can assemble a machine capable of running that game, I’m fairly confident the system itself will be more than enough to comply with my daily computing needs and then some.

I’m already considering building a maxed out AMD based machine, with DDR3.

The last machine I had with that technology lasted me 12 years. I can vouch for it.

I’ve heard people debating the feaseability of either removing the camera cluster aboard these cars and remove or disable the wifi module.

Toasted AI! The best kind of AI!

Yet! But should.

Never happened and I seriously doubt it ever will. But! I have a couple of maid outfits laying around if it ever does. I’ll listen if they comply with my request.

Nexus of causality?

I was waiting for this reply!

I love those guys! Trolling them always makes my day. Asking if they are willing to help clean the house never fails to get them off my door.

Honest question: what is the reason to have a doorbell of this kind?
