Why did this game die so quickly?

| previously Epic Games Store-exclusive

Oh. Got it.

It’s called “right to repair”, if I’m not mistaken.

I was just using an example, but I was thinking something closer to a device "security status" section in the settings app.

I think calling it DRM is incorrect. I think Apple and its audience belief you should be able to tell if a replacement part could be counterfeit, and possibly have a security vulnerability as a result. However, it should be a one-time notice that a user can dismiss and continue using the phone's complete functionality.

For example, if someone replaces a camera module, Face ID could technically be compromised. That said, the security for Face ID is on the device itself, and replacing the module with a third-party one, as long as they was made aware it may not be as secure as the original part, let them do what they want with their own device.

EDIT: If it were me, I would want to know a part in my phone is not directly from Apple, but I would still want the ability to determine if I want to continue using the phone like that or straight up replace it. It should be the user's decision.

The reverse microwave. I heard you need a LOT of freon.

got it

I mean, your former roommate was an asshole, but I somehow admire their spirit.

Since June 2023, like 90% of the users on here.

Agreed. Whatever laws they may be breaking, charge them. If people want to protest, go for it. But people should be fully aware by now that protesting inside of the capital is not the place.

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

Specialized stores sometimes cost more money (sometimes they don't). Also, the return policy and customer service is different from store-to-store. There's a lot of convenience in having an "everything" store.

Is there an actual alternative general online store that treats its employees well and has good prices on decent products? I'm all for supporting a different online retailer over Amazon.

I bought the LG G Watch when it was on sale for $80 with a free $50 Google Play gift card. I was worth that price, but, WearOS 2 declared watches without buttons dead, only a few months after I bought my first smartwatch. Google has an enormous history of killing off products, and while I know Android will have a solution to wearables, I don't see Google supporting WearOS permanently.

Yeah I meant VRS. I have VRS on and Freesync enabled on my monitor. I don't know why you would have problems unless it's specific to Nvidia, your monitor, or some other software co-morbidity.

That's only true if he can pardon himself for the election interference. That's not going to happen unless they move the case to federal court.

I disagree. I understand your viewpoint, but we need a more clear cut way to determine someone's "maturity" to make their own decisions. Voting can be indirectly lethal (using the term very loosely here). Ask one of the women who couldn't get an abortion and died from delivery complications, or the recent study that said the rollbacks the last president made for pollution is estimated to have caused tens of thousands of deaths, or lack of COVID restrictions enforcement. It's also currently arbitrary whether someone is tried as an adult in the case of a teenager that commits a homicide. So is the ability to give consent for intercourse, and that has a remote possibility of lethality too (delivery complications, STDs, etc.).

M8, I wasn’t talking about you, just the article.

Got it. Sorry for my confusion!

Awesome! CTD are inexcusable in a AAA game, but in 20+ hours of gameplay that isn't too terrible.

I can't say I've seen this issue. What GPU are you using, and are you using the latest drivers? What is the VRR setting in the game set to?

That's great. There are others that are having performance issues though. I hope it gets sorted out for them.
