That's exciting. It looks very clean, but until it has the tv remote support aspect I think it'll wait

Well that's a strangely deep cut Ken Ashcorp ref

I think Deadlock is pretty up there. That said, it's closer to Smite than it is a hero shooter. The community-driven character builds mean meta is pretty fluid and it has what I would describe as a very accessible MOBA-centered design. I don't care for MOBAs much, but to say Valve isn't innovating here would be disingenuous. I think my only problem with it is that it's lacking something that makes the gameplay loop feel satisfying, but that may just be my bias against MOBAs talking.

Flatpaks are basically containers, allowing applications to maintain their own dependencies separate from your system. It's similar to a Windows program shipping with its own precompiled DLLs, helping prevent dependenct conflicts when you go to update something you installed with pacman or yay.

Seems to depend on the flavour of Android. What version/brand do you have? I know my Pixel asks first unless I allow it more generally.

You may be looking for the "Instant Apps" settings though. Searching "links" in your Android settinbs should provide a similar result regardless what brand of phone you have though.

That's not an equivalency. From written paper to typewriters and then to computers, writing has remained a product of the author. A typewriter repair shop would transition from mechanical to electronic typewriters and potentially then to computer repair. This is because it supports an evolving technology.

An author cannot transition to becoming a machine, because they cannot author what they don't write, but a publisher can continue to publish anything that would make them money. So when human experience is boiled down to nothing more than the probabalistic order of the words written by authors who gave no consent to have their work absorbed and mutilated by an LLM, the only winner is a publishing house seeking cheaper labour than the human.

That one sounds squarely on Nvidia. Any driver that uses undocumented workarounds to gain kernel level access or utilizes an access loophool for system hooks is a bad driver. I'd assume Debian, or likely more accurately the Linux kernel itself was updated following some matter of CVE that Nvidia was quietly abusing.

Frustrating, but a good example of why those kinds of proprietary drivers are such a nightmare. You really just don't know what techniques they're using.

Yeah, because at least a decent 3rd party might hand you documentation and have the sense to build something consistent or maintainable. AI has a limited context scope and frequently suffers a type of short term memory loss that results in repeated work or variations in work that confuse the end result.

This feels like it could be used in the same vein as the Vince McMahon increasing excitement meme but maybe a bit more sinister

Hardly. I've played enough dumpsterfire UE4 ports to know it's no better if the devs don't put the effort in.

Powershell's Get-FileHash does exactly this though.

Biggest difference is that wormhole will pass traffic between devices on different networks as long as both are routable. So it's not limited to a local network connection.

The feature is called "Visual Voicemail". Your carrier may support it, but if it's like mine they likely charge extra. iOS works around it by just answering the call and saving a recorded message.

It's carrier specific. Mine doesn't do that either. iPhones seem to be the only ones that force it. Otherwise I get to sit through the same dial-in voicemail service as ever.

Ah, I see where I got confused. Yeah, CGNAT isn't very common around here. I don't think I've ever run into an ISP that uses it. I can see how that complicates things.

You really don't though. I use wireguard myself under the same scenario without issue. You just need to use some form of dynamic DNS to mitigate the potentially changing IP. Even if you're using Tailscale you'll still need to have something running a service all the time anyways, so may as well skip the proxy.

Fingerprint sensors have been an interesting hurdle for Linux distros. Not one I necessarily would have anticipated either. The biggest question seems to come down to their security as well, given that there have been exposed flaws in the design of biometric hardware that tries to generalize its compatibility.

Microsoft has defined SDCP as a strong standard for TPM/Windows, but there isn't an equivalent for Linux. Match on chip sensors have made things a bit easier, but there isn't a standard way to communicate the validated authentication to the OS, usually relying on TLS.

You may want to look into a GROM audio subsystem. They work remarkably well. Buddy installed one in his 2004 Volvo and you'd never know it was there.

Apologies, I didn't mean the legal definition of pf Asylum. The Tate brothers are both American citizens, but they're definitely leaning on the current political climate in the US to avoid consequences

Unfortunately I believe both of them are currently in Romania/US at the moment. The UK may have brought charges against them, but they seem to have pretty much escaped prosecution in Romania and have found Asylum in the US under the current government. It's unlikely that either Tates step back into the UK.
