I like GoG for the idea of getting games DRM free. I buy from them when I can.

But there’s some key features of Steam GoG just can’t compete with:

• multiplayer infrastructure
• gifts and other interactions with friends

I bought BG3 on Steam instead of GoG solely to make it easier to play multiplayer with my friends.

And these features of Steam you can take advantage of even if you buy from GoG (but where would we be without Steam?)

• VR support
• controller support
• linux support (proton)

Also there’s a much better selection on Steam. But sometimes that’s a bad sign. If a game is present on GoG and Steam, that’s a good sign there isn’t a dedication to shitty DRM, even in the Steam version. If a game is present on Steam only, you have to watch out because that game might be DRM-ridden.

The first time an app does it I delete it. If I really need it that bad I can just redownload it when I actually need it.

not all that extremely powerful

It’s game-breakingly powerful. It lets you get 3 mana for free instantly. Combined with spells that let you draw extra cards, this can result in having unlimited resources to do whatever you want on the very first turn of a game.

In general the Steam Deck is not the kind of device that is going to run things at max settings. You are gonna play at 720p30FPS low settings but be happy you can play at all on a train or airplane. It’s really meant to be a competitor to the Nintendo Switch than a replacement for a gaming PC.

You can stream from your PC to your couch or bed if you are at home.

DLSS doesn’t work that well. I’m not looking forward to AI replacing artist’s work.

It’s a simple story about a guy trying to build a fire.

From my experience most sites that support YubiKey support multiple YubiKeys already

The attacker would need physical possession of the YubiKey, Security Key, or YubiHSM, knowledge of the accounts they want to target and specialized equipment to perform the necessary attack. Depending on the use case, the attacker may also require additional knowledge including username, PIN, account password, or authentication key.

Yeah that’s not a dealbreaker IMO

I genuinely love PlexAmp. I’m curious about the photos thing and might give it a try.

Sure but also I literally have a whole box of cables, and if/when I actually need a new cable I can buy the Amazon Basics $5 cable.

Alternatively, if you really care about having the Brand Name Cable, consider this a $20 price hike.

Seriously this is such a petty issue there are much bigger things to complain about.

I’ve watched the whole thing. It’s so close to something I’d really like, at least in concept. But the ball is dropped so hard in crucial areas :(

The game “Plague Inc” spiked in popularity, so the devs rushed out a game about saving humanity instead of destroying it lol

It doesn’t take a textbook to figure out the capitalist plan would be to exploit these aliens as much as possible until every last dollar of value is squeezed out of them.

When it does happen, hackers will be able to decrypt any vulnerably encrypted messages they capture now. We need to switch to post-quantum encryption well before quantum computers that can break encryption actually are built, such that any data they do actually decrypt is old enough it’s worthless.

But the real reason why Microsoft is doing this now is simply because the decision on which algorithms should be the first official standard for post-quantum encryption have just been finalized. Expect a lot of companies to be adding post-quantum encryption in the next couple years.

Sounds like you could do this to a person in a normal zoom call with no headset.

Buy the gog version and make a backup of the offline installer version. Turn off automatic updates if you have installed it via one of the game manager apps.

I’ll replace my iPhone when it breaks. That’s what I did last time 4 years ago

At least be accurate.

The “Pro” model iPhone has a lot of the features you are calling out the non-pro one for not having. Also no non-proprietary lossless audio streaming would be more accurate.

That’s probably rather difficult because these websites are essentially computer programs that are rendering their content live. It’s like if you got an phone app to detect when another phone app is viewing something that looks like a book or document, and to then automatically make a paginated PDF of that app…
