Those issues are ones that it’s hard to just walk back with a mea culpa, especially when the apology comes precisely when it starts to impact your career.

It is, it’s deadline is just a little farther out.

They were paying for its development for about a year and a half.

The Apex Legends hacking situation was unrelated to the anti-cheat despite initial reports. It didn’t stop the hack but it also wasn’t the vector for the attacks.

Genshin Impact’s anti-cheat however was an unmitigated disaster.

ZLUDA was an open source translation layer for CUDA. So basically developers could take code from projects written for Nvidia’s CUDA and use ZLUDA to run them on other hardware. Originally the dev was focused on Intel but AMD started paying him and he focused on AMD hardware. They stopped funding him earlier in the year and now it appears AMD legal has gone back on their earlier permission for him to keep distributing the code.

Has the same SoC as the new $100 Google box as well.

It’s also built with the same SoC as Walmart’s Google TV box that sells for $50.

This $100 box from Google runs on the same SoC as the $50 streaming box from Onn (Walmart). The only major differences are the Google box as 4GB of RAM vs 3GB, a 1Gb Ethernet port instead of 100Mb (both have WiFi 6), and the Google box has a USB Type C port for power/data and would need an OTG adapter/hub while the Onn box has a Type A and a barrel plug for power.

It’s also twice the price of the Onn 4k Pro (Walmart house brand) that’s built on the same chip and has the same features running the stock Google TV experience.

In addition to a lot of the default/optional lists built-in to uBO, I’ve found the Bypass Paywalls Clean filter to really help get rid of crappy paywalls, even without the accompanying userscript.

Mozilla had the same problem with h.264 until Cisco allowed them to use openh264 and ate any associated licensing costs. Just from a cursory glance, HEVC licensing seems much more of a clusterfuck.

It’ll work without a valid provider or without a SIM at all. As long as it has battery and can pick up any network’s signal.

Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish.

The key difference is its sorted by an algorithm designed to increase your engagement and view duration. And quite often the easiest way to do that is by generating negative emotional responses, etc

You could schedule it with cron. You usually don’t need to update the lists very often though, and you don’t want to either as you’re just wasting the bandwidth of the hosts of the lists, who aren’t making any money off hosting them.

I think it was something to do with the Fi-specific syncing of messages to the web version.

And yet Google still hasn’t rolled out RCS for Google Voice, and last I checked there was an issue with it and Google Fi as well. (It works but it precludes some advertised feature of Fi or something.)

I don’t even care if it’s opt-in. I don’t want dormant malware on my PC either.

To be clear. I actually like Windows 11. I don’t care about the general telemetry, though I disabled the typing data crap. Most of the things in the last few months about ads in Windows, about blocking apps, etc have been overblown and aren’t actually big problems in isolation. Even this is a little overblown right now as it requires an NPU which the vast majority of systems don’t have. But, this is just so tone-deaf and an obviously terrible idea that it needs to be put down hard.

I mean, technically Windows Hello also includes signing in with a PIN or passkey. It doesn’t require biometrics, although it does support them.

IIRC these organoids also die after somewhere around 100 days of hypoxia, because they have yet to be able to construct a proper circulatory system for them.
