This sounds like the start of another sovcit “loophole”

They don’t seem to go quite as dim as the full colour ones though.

Delphi will be back, baby.

Keeping untrusted clients in their own ecosystem is an interesting idea, and would let people access the game without affecting anyone in the “trusted” chain, but you will all be lumped in with the obvious cheaters with blatant speed/flying/aiming bots.

If you were playing without cheats on Linux, I’d imagine you’d stop soon after.

The best idea would be to let people run their own servers and then allow or IP ban cheaters themselves, but I guess with everything needing to make money from skins and paints or whatever the fuck Apex sells, that’s out of the question and has been since about the Xbox 360 era.

Yeah, they don’t ban immediately. They collate a huge amount of data and then do it in waves.

That way cheaters know what software got them banned, but not the exact behaviour that gave it away.

Careful what you wish for because the next step after killing physical is cloud gaming only.

Not people on Linux.

I use an Nvidia shield pro.

Certainly handles Jellyfin and Moonlight (for gaming, I could never get Steam Link working smoothly).

I assume there’s a YouTube client you can drop on it but I don’t use YouTube for much because I can’t stand YouTubers.

I do have a double set with original (or as much as you could get) along with the post-prequels completely broken one. I think there was a pre-prequels version as well. But then that is DVD quality, which is getting on a bit.

The likes of Disney+ doesn’t even acknowledge the originals even exist.

Same with their Alien and Aliens versions as well. No director’s cuts at all, which is a shame as I far prefer them. They should have both.

They were course and rough and irritating and got everywhere.

The only way to watch the original Star Wars movies before George completely fucked with them is piracy.

The 4K77, 80 and 83 editions are what you’re after. Enjoy. There are apparently reduced noise versions as well, but I thought it was perfect as is. It’s old. It’s supposed to have noise and grain. The desert scenes in the first one are really noisy and I’m not 100% sure why. Maybe he filmed those on cheaper film stock in smaller cameras, but that’s just a guess.

I think software was a lot easier to visualise in the past when we had fewer resources.

Stuff like memory becomes almost meaningless when you never really have to worry about it. 64,000 bytes was an amount that made sense to people. You could imagine chunks of it. 64 billion bytes is a nonsense number that people can’t even imagine.

And the replacement people all just assume that we’re supposed to be up to our waists in water.

Technical debt is a real doozy. There’s no value for the higher ups in fixing it, so nobody does.

New features just take longer and longer to add, under a teetering pile of your own shit.

I think part of the problem is the ideal underlying structure for your project doesn’t really reveal itself until several years in, and by then it’s a nice to have for some other time that never arrives.

RSS is what we had before algorithms that just pick adverts and far right fuckery.

What we were promised:

Content in one HTML document.

Styles in other CSS, able to apply any to completely alter the layout of the document.

What we got:

<div class=“mt mid flex lt-8 no-margin up-1”>

Support for int64s out of the box and without jumping through hoops would be nice.

I like Sublime Text for this.

Watching supposedly technical people use Excel to mangle batch SQL statements together makes me cry.

Everyone knows you should only have a double space after a full stop, so your computer knows it’s the end of a sentence.

Automated numberplate recognition systems have spoilt so much fun.
