Ignorance is not stupidity.

Despite this being reported on tech news, most people won't even be aware that it's a thing because most people won't actually read about it. And the majority of gamers probably don't even know what a kernel is or why an anti-cheat with elevated privileges would be a bad thing.

Most people buy their computers with Windows preinstalled and probably couldn't tell you if the CPU is Intel or AMD.

That's the only reason I got an RGB keyboard. I wanted a backlit keyboard, and RGB was the only option. At least I can keep it white when I do want it lit.

I've seen a surge protector.

Ice dancing has been an event in the winter Olympics since 1976. Not just figure skating, it's literally called ice dancing.

You could try, but odds are it would run away before you could get close enough.

I'm partial to "j'encule," which also would work in that context.

I'm full of plasma, but they never stopped me from flying.

Well for the sake of argument, this post's title says squid, but the picture is of an octopus (though it looks to have too many arms.) So which one are we fighting anyway?

Take my pen knife, my good man.

That must be why Flavor Flav is helping out these Olympians.

It's ok to use google as a verb. Using the word that way is how it becomes generic, which is something Google would really hate. Not that it's gonna happen anytime soon, but we can always try.

May your socks be forever wet

It's still in Early Access, it hasn't even officially released yet, how can it be a dead game already?

The issue is that customs agents have the authority to refuse you entry into the country for no reason if they so choose. Refuse to consent to a search and you could be refused entry. This includes simply transiting through the airport, as the US requires foreigners to go through customs even for connecting flights (I'm not sure if that's always the case, but it has always been the case for me.) So they can't force you to let them search your phone, but the end result is the essentially the same.

Out of principle, if I can't block or skip an ad, I'm closing the window. I'd rather not use the service than be force-fed advertising.

I take public transit on the daily, and that's just about the only place I can't avoid advertising.

Ham and a nice triple crème.

I should be able to do mine then. I haven't used my PS4 in quite a while.

Ok but why does a game like Ghost of Tsushima need an anti-cheat to begin with?

I'm not even asking that they make their games specifically linux-compatible. I'm just asking for them to not prevent compatibility.

I understand making games only for Windows because that's where the market share is. But going out of your way to ensure they won't run on Linux is a dick move.

How old is FW 11?
