Armchair therapist much? To me the examples given in the post specifically aren't about success, they're about the things people that do not directly count as success but that do require you to devote at least part of your life to it.
Hong Kong is extremely small. Offering the service to both (and oversubscribing the hell out of 50G) is extremely simple, since a business might be anywhere including close to consumers, so you're building the infra regardless.
I don't think it makes sense for most people to pay for this, but in 1998 you would have said "we will never need more than aDSL for the consumer" yet here we are with 1G/ 5G links to the home that are getting actually saturated.
So fun fact about that I know a bit about Android apps so I tried cracking it myself, and when I couldn't I looked at the difference between the vanilla app and the cracked one to see how they did it. All the cracked copies I could find were not simply cracked but also had additional code behind some kind of DRM, so I'm gonna go with "please do not install malware as your Android launcher".
This isnt fear mongering, this is based on actual evidence of said malware being distributed.
I think they've now reached the level of attention they deserve and that means they can stop licking boots of large IP holders just to make games for them. Divinity original sin was bg3 before bg3, it just didn't have a large license attached to it, and now they can make DOS3 and know that people will buy it because it'll most likely be a great game
I use the paid version of Niagara. It's going well for me but I get that paying 30$ lifetime for a launcher isn't for everyone. The free version is ok but it lacks several very nice features like your music app automatically being hoisted when you connect earphones.
My thoughts exactly. It would be unreasonable to expect full support 14 years after it came out, and it would be unreasonable to expect modern apps to work flawlessly. But it's not unreasonable to say that all the specs mentionned by the commenter can just be considered to all be 0 if the device cant run anything - not because it is physically incapable of it, but because we can't even try.
Fun fact! It gets reported to /var/spool/mail/root ! If your mail spooler is properly configured (and your SMTP relay is also configured to send mail addressed to root to an actual user account) then you will get these alerts by email.
Ok yeah it's kind of funny but if you think about it for a second that ipad is perfectly functional. If apple doesn't want to support it because it doesn't make them money, then why can't the community? Why does apple get to decide what is e-trash and what isn't?
The laptop I bought second hand in 2014 is still very much functionnal, and in fact it still runs. I'll concede that it doesn't run well, as it was already unpowered back then, but it runs some flavors of Linux oriented towards low-power devices, because people made them to do specifically this. If I had bought a second had ipad instead, it would be in a landfill by now. It didn't even take any special actions on toshiba's part to make it behave like this, they just made a laptop that was up to the standards of every other laptop at the time. What I'm getting at is that this isn't a new idea, we know how to take care of our devices for longer already, were it not for the apples and googles telling us what we can't and can do on the device we own.
A nice fun fact: if you consider how fast electricity travels in silicium, it turns out that for a clock that pulses in the tens of billions of times per second (which is what gigahertz are), it is physically impossible for each pulse to get all the way across a 2cm die before the next pulse starts. This is exacerbated by the fact that a processor has many meandering paths throughout and is not a straight line.
So at any given moment, there are several clock cycles traveling throughout a modern processor at the same time, and the designers have to just "come up" with a solution that makes that work, nevermind the fact that almost all the digital logic design tools are not built to account for this, so instead they end up having to use analog (as in audio chips, not as in pen-and-paper design) design tools.
Pretty sure this is a bug in either discover or flatpak. My guess is flatpak has the 2 versions it feeds discover swapped, so the versions appear swapped, but in reality it will be fine
No it couldn't. The breakthrough is on galactic algorithms, who sacrifice speed on small amounts on numbers to gain speed on extremely large (doesn't fit in the solar system anymore) amounts of numbers.
On top of that, the algorithm assumes infinite precision, and it actually really breaks down if you don't have infinite precision, and our computers don't have it.
Game servers are incredibly expensive, and server side anticheat is more costs.
Whether or not the studios can afford it (they can.) is irrelevant, it's simply cheaper to go for flawed client side because the client will do most of the processing.
Any software developer worth their salt simply does not trust the client, but management is gonna manage and the engineers have to come up with a solution to "we must have anticheat because we said so, and you must keep server costs per user below x". It's easy to forget that most implementation choices in video games aren't made by developers who like games, they're made by middle managers who view games as a money-generaring industry.
I don't think they make them anymore but unsurprisingly most are still functionnal.
