I like how aAanah Pearce put it. (Summarized) GTA online makes obscene amounts of money, like crazy amounts. Personally I’m not someone who wants to spend money on online, but others do. When you think about it, rockstar is able to build things like red dead redemption 2 thanks to the online players. Games do cost money to build, and it’s directly thanks to online players that they’ve had enough money to build these games for us.

I like this take. Is GTA Online slimy? Probably, and it can even lean on greedy. But people still pay for it, and thanks to them rdr2 and now gta6 were funded. The fact that GTA 6 has a single player experience proves they’re still committed together single player narratives, but at the end of the day they need to fund them. So thanks online players for funding our single player experiences.

Having gone to scout camp many times myself, this story checks out and is very plausible.

Very neat! I’ll try it out sometime. What does it use for a boot device? Cache drive?

That’s pretty neat that the TPM can be used that way, maybe worth migrating over. The flash drive always made me so nervous.

So after the migration, my boot drive and flash drive could both fail, and I could plug in a new unraid boot/flash drive, it’d read my license, and it’d just work?

I agree with this, and even the CEO of Microsoft said it too, and many others. Its a temporary squeeze. Either when datacenters have plateued naturally or because the bubble pops, or production scales up.

And even if consumer remains small potatoes, it’s still an industry worth billions. Someone will step in to fill it. Someone will see the money on the table and attempt to claim it, it may just be a bit

Neat, what did your setup look like? You mentioned the qwen harness? Run it all on one machine?

Do you find you can do coding tasks with it well?

I think that’s part of the joke…

Fairphone has been working decently when it is time, if you want an alternative

Man discovers feature that has been around since Windows Vista, and decides to write a ragebait article about 20 year old technology.

Seriously Chinese models and chips right now are because the sudden bargoes told them they couldn’t keep relying on us tech. The us has been doing an exceptional job at convincing governments and people that they should not be dependent on the US, as we apparently will rugpull at any moment.

Probably not, as they have a level of guarantee from the company that everything is work related and nationalities are verified. If anything were to be flagged they would send it to the admin.

Personally as some extra spice as I worry about ransomeare, I have a few key files I check across my array that should never change. If any of their hashes are off, I abort immediately.

They just cannot stand being on top. They finally make components that are better than any competitor’s and they have to then ruin their own success.

The fact that we weren’t told how much he “profited” is very telling to me. Guaranteed its not more than a few thousand. They need to make an example if him though, throwing him in jail with murderers and rapists so he learns his lesson of not creating mix CDs. This is probably the most corrupt thing I’ve seen happen to non violent ceiminal. Should have been community service and a fine.

That’s why I said DRM free, because I don’t trust them, so I would only buy something if I could take it and use it away from their store forever.

Fun for sure, even the cheapest EVs can push you back into the seat like a sports car

It was never about any of that. It’s that Valve is a trustworthy company so far and epic is not. The only way at this point I would buy from epic store is if they offered DRM free copies.

Most issues require nuance, and the internet does not have the concept of nuance at all. I did my research and bought my EV, no regrets at all. Not only do I know it’s better because I haven’t consumed gas now in over 2 years, it’s also simply the best and easiest car I’ve ever owned. It’s a no brainer to get one. Anyone who says otherwise I think firmly needs to think about their connection with propaganda.

Of course, welcome to the Linux community!
