  • Why would they pull this sort of bullshit, I have no idea

    They aren't, they said that the Steam versions of Blizzard games will not require the Battle.net launcher at all.

  • Battle.net actually launched in 1996, though the client as it existed back then would hardly be recognizable as a launcher/storefront today. The modern client launched in 2009.

  • They already said this won’t be the case

  • Mike Ybarra confirmed on the bird site that these games will launch directly through Steam, no bundled launcher nonsense.

  • You see that, CBS? Warner figured out how to remaster and release their serialized '90s science fiction drama set aboard a space station on Blu-Ray. Surely doing the same for your serialized '90s science fiction drama set aboard a space station is not too tall of an order.

    With the WGA and SAG strikes shutting down all production of new content, there's never been a better time to put your editors and vfx artists to work remastering an old classic.

  • Firefox 115 is the last version to support Windows 7, so Valve using Gecko instead of Blink wouldn't have made a difference here. Maybe it's time to move on from a 14 year old operating system on the internet with known zero-day exploits that aren't going to get patched.

  • I hate Google and Chromium's dominance on the browser market as much as the next person, but this is straight up false information.

    Chromium itself is open source, it is 100% possible to make forks that remove all Google telemetry, and such forks do exist.

  • Using ungoogled-chromium still contributes to Google's browser engine monoculture.

  • Vue JS is awesome, when making websites.

    The fact that people make apps with it is what sucks. Not because Vue JS is bad, but because native apps always look and feel better. Always.

  • It doesn't, the assumption is that users will not use them directly on their laps for heavy loads.

    There isn't much they can do. There isn't enough room on the sides to vent all of that heat. This is the tradeoff you make when you ask for 200 watts of performance in a laptop form factor.

  • This is for the PC version. The PS5 version came out 2 years ago.

  • Purple is often defined as the color we perceive when something reflects blue and red light, whereas violet is a specific region of the light spectrum between blue and ultraviolet.

  • Hateful Eight was shot and presented on 5/70 mm film. That’s a frame that is 5 perforations tall and 70mm wide. That gives you about 3.5 times the surface area of standard 35mm film, though at a much wider aspect ratio.

    IMAX is 15/70, so the same frame width as 5/70 but three times as tall. Though you actually inverse the width and height metrics because IMAX film is run through the projector horizontally rather than verticallly.

  • My LG runs perfectly fine. I’ve never connected it to the internet. I was able to update its firmware with a USB drive to get a bug fix for VRR.

    Same for the Samsung that lives in my bedroom.

  • Don't connect it to the internet?

  • You can just take the subsidized TV and never connect it to the internet.

  • They should be. I sure as hell won't buy any car that lacks CarPlay.

  • Steam makes it so easy to refund games that I'm not sure what the point of all this is anymore.

  • That seems like a petty reason not to play a game you already paid for.
