There is a new tribes game being made now. Play testing on steam if you are willing to try the new one.

Thanks for the insight. I’ll make sure to update things on my end asap.

Reading the article I’m a bit confused, can someone confirm for me that it only affects windows running with Japanese, Traditional Chinese, or simplified Chinese locales? Not other locales.

You may want to try and put some prompts yourself into chatGPT to see the results without making an uninformed comment based on what you perceive chatGPT will do/answer.

The difference between Tianamen and things that have happened, like the gulf war etc. is that we are allowed to discuss disparate views without being thrown in jail. And tools/toys like chatGPT are allowed to try to write an opinion on them.

Agreed, but not a “charge overnight for years” but no degradation at all.

Impossible for battery health to be at 100% after years. May still be working great, but not 100%.

There is one app that runs the model on an iPhone. It’s called “draw things: ai generation“. But you aren’t wrong about AI image generation usually needing a gaming pc or at least a video card with a lot of video ram to hold the model in while it works.

Want to echo what was said here. RAID is not a backup solution. RAID is for always on capability. Do not use RAID as a way to keep valuable data safe. Just have double the drive space and keep a backup of the data on the second drive.

That makes more sense, and a bit beyond my depth as well. But this is not the sites issue at this point, just some honest questions about the online fix.
I was under the impression we needed the online fix for it to work with other legitimate players. It doesn’t make sense to have an online fix if one isn’t needed. I’ll look into that part more, but I can see it being titled ransomware if they redirect queries to another server to make them go to the legit server and bypass the legit check.
Still depends on if we needed the online fix or not from the beginning, and then the question becomes, “how did they make the online check work, and where does it redirect to?”

I see nothing in the virustotal results that I would be concerned with. The only file with issues is the online fix, which makes sense that it will find something about it, because most cracks will show some false positives. Take a look at the results and check what it says.

Not at all what he said, great “quote”

Not that big of a deal when it is a backup. Raid is not a backup solution, it is a 24/7 uptime solution. If the main drive dies with JBOD, then you have the backup. If a backup drive fails, then you still have the main. Trick is to ensure any drive issues are dealt with immediately and no backup runs if there is a smart error or similar on any drive.

So having software that monitors drive health and email/notifies you is necessary.

Secondary benefit of JBOD is all drives in a pool are still readable separately.

Yeah, they are talking about what they need and basically saying they have nothing. But you know, lawyers need to be paid so they write this lol

Read the discussion in hacker news.

And that’s fair, but in this game is just getting a black screen. So there is nothing to worry about. It’s not the Witcher series of games so you don’t need to even worry about anything.

It may be partly connected with the fact that an R rated movie can have sex in it, but video game sex has been mostly a taboo subject (GTA as an early example), even for an R rated game. So it may be an example of the movement towards sex being included in games as it is in movies. Agreed about the immersion, but depends on how you “play” your character. Depending on the game, you can avoid the interactions you don’t feel fit with your character, but not every game.

I like being able to zoom and focus on a side of the photo with a section of the screen just black. But losing the photo entirely is not good I agree.

Lockdown is a blacklist style “vpn” that is run on your device and will help with ads and tracking when browsing and in games. For YouTube, I go about sideloading uyou plus which covers any ads and similar issues within YouTube itself.

And WSL 2 is the “Linux within windows” if I recall. And your other recommendation is a Linux vm with dockers running inside it? I’ll give that a try if I decide to switch to dockers again instead of just a vm. My original use case was to have a downloader and vpn bundled inside one docker so the rest of the system doesn’t see the vpn connection, but decided to use a vm to accomplish it instead due to “windows+docker” issues.

Lots of great information and suggestions in this discussion. Thank you everyone who are offering your input. I’d like to ask as well, how easy is it to setup docker for use in windows? I ask this because almost every guide I’ve found has docker running in Linux. I realize you are able to setup a docker in windows, but I was struggling to get basic instructions for windows, and even the tutorial in docker required me to switch back to docker types that don’t work in windows.
