not true; that’s a developer thing, not steam itself.
steam offers it as an option, it doesn’t force developers to use it.
plenty of games bought on steam can be run entirely without steam.

f95zone has it almost certainly, if not, request it in a request thread, done.
works for pretty much any NSFW title ;)
you don’t have a choice when it comes to data collection:
if it’s allowed literally every manufacturer WILL do it!
see: the exact situation we’re currently in!!
so, no, you don’t have a choice (other than buying an older model).
this isn’t how “the market” does anything.
there’s no downside to outlawing spyware in cars.
and it hasn’t made anything cheaper, what the hell kind of cope is that??
i absolutely love it when it’s paired with manual transmission and an auto-break function:
when you stop, for example at a red light, and press the break while standing still for a bit, it goes into auto-break mode.
when you then release the clutch while in gear (neutral gets ignored), it automatically releases the hand break, so you can perform a hand break assisted start from standstill without having to touch the actual hand break!
this is excellent when you’ve stopped at an incline, and generally really useful!
but i get the skepticism…i was extremely skeptical at first too, but you get used to it quickly and then it feels weird when it’s missing or turned off in another car… there’s just no reason not to use this feature it’s simply great!
I’ve seen waaay more manual handles break than electric windows…but that might be somewhat biased by the sheer age of most of the cars with manual windows…still, rarely ever even heard of an electric one breaking…is that common where you live?
because barely anyone even knows about HUDs, since there are barely any vehicles in the “won’t cost you both kidneys” price segment with HUDs in them…
…but yes, they really should be in every car. it’s just a no-brainer for safety, for the exact reason you said: simply having your speed right in your field of view alone is worth it!
not really, highly depends on the game… definitely worth checking beforehand though!
haven’t run into any problems so far, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t trigger anti-cheats
FYI, for anyone interested in fixing this kind of bs:
there’s a program calle WeMod that easily fixes this kind of thing.
it’s basically an automated trainer platform that let’s you cheat in games with 0 prerequisites, know-how, or effort.
highly recommended for stuff like assassin’s creed, far cry, and similar games with bullshit grind.
setting xp/dmg/resources to something like 2 or 3X literally makes the game playable again!
(probably collects a ton of telemetry, which I don’t care about on my gaming system…)
yeah, no.
thing is: YT/google/the data kraken knows you regardless of wether or not you’re logged in.
they track everything from IP, to location (even just approximate based on IP), screen size, browser, OS, and sooo much more.
being logged in makes it easier to track you within a site, but you get tracked regardless.
Orconomics (Dark Profit Saga, Trilogy) for the exact same reason!
excellent fun to read, incredibly funny!
japan is also kinda fucking itself over twice:
so, yeah, double fucked!
the TSA is not “not perfect”; they’re a joke.
it’s pure theater. they have basically no ability to detect actual weapons at all, hence why it’s a common problem when passengers arrive abroad only to find out they accidentally carried loose ammunition across borders.
there’s a huge difference between “not quite perfect” and “completely and utterly useless waste of time, money, and resources”, the latter of which describes the TSA.
IF they actually did anything useful at all, then fine, you have a point. but they don’t, which is why people are disagreeing with you.
because in principle you’re right, that security is required and should be taken seriously…but the TSA isn’t actually providing security. they’re providing the appearance of security.
this is not true.
it entirely depends on the specific application.
there is no OS-level, standardized, dynamic allocation of RAM (definitely not on windows, i assume it’s the same for OSX).
this is because most programming languages handle RAM allocation within the individual program, so the OS can’t allocate RAM however it wants.
the OS could put processes to “sleep”, but that’s basically just the previously mentioned swap memory and leads to HD degradation and poor performance/hiccups, which is why it’s not used much…
so, no.
RAM is usually NOT dynamically allocated by the OS.
it CAN be dynamically allocated by individual programs, IF they are written in a way that supports dynamic allocation of RAM, which some languages do well, others not so much…
it’s certainly not universally true.
also, what you describe when saying:
Any modern OS will allocate RAM as necessary. If another application needs, it will allocate some to it.
…is literally swap. that’s exactly what the previous user said.
and swap is not the same as “allocating RAM when a program needs it”, instead it’s the OS going “oh shit! I’m out of RAM and need more NOW, or I’m going to crash! better be safe and steal some memory from disk!”
what happens is:
the OS runs out of RAM and needs more, so it marks a portion of the next best HD as swap-RAM and starts using that instead.
HDs are not built for this use case, so whichever processes use the swap space become slooooooow and responsiveness suffers greatly.
on top of that, memory of any kind is built for a certain amount of read/write operations. this is also considered the “lifespan” of a memory component.
RAM is built for a LOT of (very fast) R/W operations.
hard drives are NOT built for that.
RAM has at least an order of magnitude more R/W ops going on than a hard drive, so when a computer uses swap excessively, instead of as very last resort as intended, it leads to a vastly shortened lifespan of the disk.
for an example of a VERY stupid, VERY poor implementation of this behavior, look up the apple M1’s rapid SSD degradation.
short summary:
apple only put 8GB of RAM into the first gen M1’s, which made the OS use swap memory almost continuously, which wore out the hard drive MUCH faster than expected.
…and since the HD is soldered onto the Mainboard, that completely bricks the device in about half a year/year, depending on usage.
TL;DR: you’re categorically and objectively wrong about this. sorry :/
hope you found this explanation helpful tho!
Tell me if those companies that experienced more productivity, why did they not continue to implement it?
they did. 80% of them did exactly that!
it works exactly as expected, and the companies that did switch to a 32h-week model did see increased productivity, and 80% chose to keep the 32h-week model.
read the study.

got curious, googled it, here’s something interesting:
https://news.usask.ca/articles/research/2018/u-of-s-study-hones-in-on-causes-of-ms-disability.php
seems genetic. which makes sense.
apparently that region just got unlucky with its gene pool, though, as the news release states: more research is necessary in order to be certain.
being caused by environmental chemicals hasn’t been definitively ruled out, but it’s not looking likely
(btw, bravo on an actually readable press release by a university!)
so you’re basically saying it talked itself squarely into uncanny valley?
i honestly didn’t consider that would be an issue for LLMs, but in hindsight…yeah, that’s gonna be a problem…
oh, damn, you’re right!
i got that mixed up; i thought ranked choice also includes proportional representation, because it frees up your secondary vote to be for whoever you want it to be, without pressure to vote for a canditate that “has a chance of winning”, thus alleviating the issue of strategic voting…but that’s pretty much the only thing it does.
but the proportional representation is tied to the way mandates/seats are distributed, which isn’t tied to the how the vote works.
so if the senate still had the same number of seats per state, it wouldn’t fix representation, because the weight of the votes still wouldn’t be equal…
yeah, sorry for the confusion…long day…but thanks for the polite correction!
gerrymandering is rendered obsolete by points 1 and 2 on the list…so that’s already included in the OP ;)
the reason gerrymandering is a thing, is because of the first-past-the-post/winner-takes-all voting system, which ranked choice replaces.
ranked choice allows propotional representation, which also fixes the 2 party problem!
edit, also fixes your point 2, because under ranked choice there is only a popular vote (also just known as “a vote”, because there isn’t any other one left)
nvm, got something mixed up…shouldn’t comment when half asleep…
you forgot the necrophilia in Under The Dome! ;)
