  • I really doubt that. Computational photography is only as good as it is because of how heavily it processes all sorts of data that can't make it into the jpeg that gets spit out.

    I would love to see what an Apple camera with the hardware they leverage on iPhone, but a full frame sensor and real lens could do, because what they manage to pull out of the trash ass input is impressive. But it's already processed to absolute hell. There's nothing left for further passes to pull out.

  • It's also incredibly clear and gives a lot of information on when you do and don't need to be worried. I'd probably take the extra steps to verify I wasn't exposed even if I was in one of the "you're OK" categories, but I appreciate the detail on principle.

    It's weird that "we got hacked" is going to get me to try out a mod, but here we are lol.

  • Steam doesn't enforce anything. They provide a very weak opt-in DRM that they literally tell developers they should expect will by bypassed. There are plenty of actual DRM free games on Steam.

    People use Steam instead of GoG because Steam works and provides a wide array of value adding features and GoG doesn't.

  • Do you like stealth?

    The story is fine, and they do a good job mixing it into the gameplay, but it's not one of my favorite games for the story. (On higher difficulties) It's an excellent stealth game that has really well designed encounters with very believable AI and uses resource scarcity to make every action have weight.

  • Now, in an update, it's been discovered that new users can't go online in any games on 3DS or Wii U

    lol Nintendo and their naming, though.

    Apparently they've since resolved the issue, though EOL for online is still early 24.

  • It's not intended as a drop in replacement.

    Backwards compatibility forever sounds great, but the technical debt eventually becomes a giant fucking limitation on improvement. They chose not to stay backwards compatible for a reason.

  • I got an axe throwing game (plastic axes, so reasonably safe, but surprisingly fun). I would rather the axes weigh a little more, but as is it means it can be put out with other lawn games when families come over without being nervous about kids.

  • The next day? OK, they're responsible.

    A week later, they have no responsibility left. Security holes happen, even in "highly secure" systems, because of how complex they are and how difficult it is to harden every possible edge case. But people not knowing the hole exists when you find and patch it isn't really possible, which is why they give advisories that "this is serious, you need to install it" in the first place. Every day after the patch is shipped increases your risk that bad actors have used the new knowledge to find a way to exploit the vulnerability, not through any failure of the vendor, but by the nature of what security is.

    A hole existing isn't negligent. Leaving a known vulnerability, with a shipped fix, unpatched for a week on platforms that hold sensitive consumer information is. And it's a decent ways up the severity scale of negligence, too.

  • Are there new users, really?

    I'm all about "companies should be required to make content they sold available as long as they exist" for the recent Sony deleting videos story, but online multiplayer takes meaningful maintenance for security reasons.

    I'd support a requirement to open the protocols and provide the appropriate signatures to enable alternative replacements to fill in the voids if there's demand, but you couldn't really apply it retroactively and all the Nintendo stuff, up to and including the switch, is already hacked anyways, so it wouldn't make a practical difference.

  • I just don't consider any of that an answer to the question. For the most part, nobody is expecting every individual ingredient of a meal to be made from the raw ingredients (I don't actually think sauce is a lot of hands on work, but I don't usually bother to make it either). While I have a pasta maker and love fresh homemade pasta, if I make a lasagna from store bought noodles, jarred sauce, and store bought ricotta, nobody is going to yell at me for calling it homemade. The version with fresh pasta, homemade sauce, and homemade ricotta is going to be better (OK, I haven't done ricotta so I might make it gross), but the first one still counts.

  • I spent years looking for a correctly sized tortilla (I found one in a little Mexican convenience store once out of state for a wedding and it made it all the more frustrating for a long time lol). Then Old El Paso Grande tortillas showed up at a Walmart near me and I buy them by the box on Amazon now and can finally have burrito size burritos.

    Anyways, those are like 80% rice, and rice is dirt cheap. I'm guessing it's 4-6 ounces of meat max. Unless you're using premium cuts of steak (which they aren't), no way it costs as much.
