That’s definitely not what came to mind when I read “classic Japanese cars”, my mind went to stuff like the Toyota AE86 and the Miata. And from there, to the likes of the Mitsubishi Lancer, Toyota Supra, Subaru Impreza, Nissan Skyline, all those cars I drooled over when I used to play Gran Turismo as a kid (and still drool over, tbh).

A classic Japanese car? Like those nimble little things that drift down crazy steep mountains and stuff?

This is an interesting approach from the CEO, in that it demonstrates why unions are mandatory.

Aw.

Someone surely tried this on a Tesla by now…

I’d do it just to style on the new guy, start with something like “ah, so humanity has lost the skills that we possessed in the days of yore…”

(TL note: this is in reference to companies refusing to up the pay for their skilled workforce, and ending up paying more to new guys that’ll have to learn it all from scratch)

What.

The article says that, for the GPUs, they can have a “maximum power draw of 45,000 W at full tilt”.

The 28 million W comes from the full system, and surely the massive displays, LEDs and eventually sound system makes up the bulk of that, the gfx cards are a rounding error…

I use TZ identifiers, and confirm the expected behaviour (“Berlin time, correct?”), as then I know how I should handle DST changes.

It should be implemented in people’s brains.

How this goes, usually, is:

Them:…before 6PM.

Me: 6PM… Ours? The server’s? The user’s?

Them: GMT, of course.

Me: So that’s 7PM London right now, and changes to 6PM in November?

Them: What no are you stupid. Always 6PM GMT.

Me:* jumps off a cliff*

Data privacy AND not having to deal with more bullshit AI? Oh my, how will we ever cope with this… /s

I presume OP works at a decently sized company, and they have magical people like PMs and CSMs that turn customer tantrums into neat little cards that he can push down the kanban.

Google says that “regulatory requirements” have led to this decision, presumably referring to the EU’s Digital Markets Act or other recent legislation. The precise reason isn’t mentioned by Google.

What are those clock faces doing, Google?

WHAT. ARE. THEY. DOING?!

Hell nah. They cannot be the sole gatekeepers, alternative app stores that are outside of Apple’s control need to exist.

So you’re saying the DMA wasn’t created specifically to fuck over small content creators? TIL

I couldn’t care less about crashes, that’s an end-user problem. But do you expect me to go to sleep while that squiggly line in my IDE??

/s just in case

I feel like you missed the point.

Webengines are not more complex than a full OS, and yet, Linux works as a community driven project and Chromium does not.

The difference is that Linus is the one with final say in Linux, and he never sold out to a company. Chromium is Google.

It will never be a “community” project, because Google pumps so many resources into it. The goal is obvious: to make sure that it’s always ahead of any competitors, and anyone willing to catch up would have to match Google spending.

The brilliant move here by Google was making it open source. This ensures that no other megacorp needs to fight them, as long as their interests are aligned.

Edge has died already. Safari will follow. The future is grim.

I could point out the ad hominem, but even worse, emojis?! You have zero credibility, scram.

The kernel-level cheats would fall into this category I guess, but cheaters will still be running them. Could anything without the same level access identify them?

and what is their endgame? “Developers are releasing cheats that emualate a mouse. Therefore Riot needs to use a camera to record your hand”?

You mean a device that physically operates the mouse? I don’t know, I don’t work for riot, but this is done in online chess - to participate in some tournaments with money prizes you need 2 webcams.

If everybody is jumping off a roof, so should Riot?

No, the question is if this discussion also cover all other anticheats that use kernel mode, or is here anything that is League-specific?

Isn’t the whole point of anti-cheat to survey the computer? If you aren’t getting anything new, then why even use a kernel-level anticheat?

This is just splitting hairs on semantics, isn’t it? From the moment the app is running in user space, it could collect a huge amount of user info, but it can’t look for kernel-level cheat software.

Note that I don’t play league, I could care less about the game or the developer, I’m just interested in the privacy vs cheating aspect of the conversation.

You could drop the flamebait, but all good.

Not only kernel mode “anticheat” will allow snooping on the current account, but on others too, that’s the key difference here.

Can’t this already be achieved by elevation? Why would a kernel driver be necessary?
