It's pretty crazy Valve can give a game a Steam Deck Playable rating, give it a special banner on the Steam page to note it's a most-played game on Steam Deck....and then the developer can just add anti-cheat, not enable it and tell people it was never officially supported huh?

Por cierto, si estáis en Madrid, yo iría de vez en cuando a echarles dineros al bar vegano La Oveja Negra. Les han acosado por su apoyo a Palestina y eso les ha cortado cero en seguir haciéndolo.
Y además tienen cosas muy chulas para vender tipo camisetas, pegatinas... para apoyar a distintos tipos de colectivos

Yay, the connected device in your pocket is now a bomb that can be detonated remotely.
It's not clear what exploded, but causing a lithium battery to short circuit seems plausible.
Can anyone confirm, I'm not going to test this theory myself?
If so, I'm kinda glad #Israel has exposed this, if not the manner used.

The draft2digital author AI survey is flooded, but I read the first few paragraphs before being booted.
D2D will not be offering AI licensing at this time, for the reasons so many authors have expressed -- AI firms earning our mistrust with continuous copyright violations, environmental damage, etc. They will not offer such licensing until those reasons are addressed.

Commuter Trains, Ewing (West Trenton), NJ, 2010.

This was captured with a DSLR and a 400mm lens, which contributed to the compressed perspective. The conductor boarding the leftmost train is essential to the composition, I think.
Ewing, NJ ("West Trenton") is the last stop on SEPTA's commuter trains from Philadelphia on the former Reading Railroad's line to northern NJ. CSX freight trains still use the tracks north of the station, beyond the end of the overhead electrified wiring used for passenger service.
Matt Blaze reshared this.
Very long lenses like the 400mm, with their narrow field of view, are essential for some compositions (such as this one), but I find I only rarely actually use them. In fact, the longest lens I have for my main medium format camera system is 180mm (which yields the 35mm equivalent view of about a 120mm), and I hardly ever use even that for the most of the photography I do.
For wildlife photographers, on the other hand, 400mm is practically a wide angle.

My astronomer friends might disagree that atmospheric effects are greater the further the astronomical subject.
But aside from my poor (very poor) joke, has anyone doing terrestrial photography adopted the technique used by astronomers of using a laser beam to do real time measure of atmospheric conditions and use that either in real-time lens/mirror adaption or post processing?

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •Well there goes my 10 bucks. I think I am just gonna avoid buying multiplayer online games even if they work on Linux unless the game is listed as officially supported on Linux like CS2.
Unfortuantely I hate to play solo. Online gaming is fun because I can chat with my friends.

I was not expecting GTA V to get that treatment. But having seen the amount of cheating on GTA V, it is justified. I myself always played with Closed Friends Session to keep cheaters out.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •It won't solve it directly, but if win32 games are forced to abandon proprietary kernel anti-cheat in place of some kind of standardized Windows API, then potentially that API could be implemented on Linux/Wine.
A lot of other things need to fall in place for that to happen, though. I've been wondering what Valve were going to do about this for a while, I've speculated that maybe SteamOS could ship with a signed kernel, secure boot, remote attestation and run games in secure VMs?
