Half life 3, Team Fortresses 3, Left 4 Dead 3?

I doubt they will. The market for NAND and ram is insane at the moment, RAM has gone up 100% in the last 3 months. Announcing a price too early could lead to having embarrassingly increase price shortly before or after launch, or take a loss on the products.

That's not to say I don't share your sentiments. I too hope they announce it sooner rather than later, but understand why they may be apprehensive.

Hippos are herbivores. They only kill tourists for fun.

What's the issue with the push button on the toilet? Most toilets in my country are just a button to push on top?

I don't think that's a fair categorisations. I believe that is only for selling steam keys elsewhere.

Steam allows publishers to generate steam keys for their games at no cost. The publisher can then sell those keys elsewhere. The only requirement is the keys not be sold for less than the price charged on steam. ie if the publisher can sell the key on any other platform and valve gets $0.

Expecting valve to distribute your game and provide access to their steam works features for free while allowing a publisher to undercut them would be insanity.

Steam Keys are single-use, unique, alphanumeric codes that customers can activate on Steam to add a product license to their account. Steam Keys are a free service we provide to developers as a convenient tool to help you sell your game on other stores and at retail, or provide for free for beta testers or press/influencers. Steam keys are a free service, so we ask you to use good judgment and follow basic guidelines and rules around requesting and selling them.

And other Chinese brands!. The MG4 is super popular in Australia too. Can get it for about $38k AUD ($25k USD).

Even if Tesla wasn't tarnished by association with Musk, they have absolutely nothing at the budget end of the market. ie for buyers that traditionally bought corollas, little Mazdas and Hyundai's.

And BYD has the whole range, if I want a luxury sedan the BYD Seal goes toe to toe with the model 3.

I think China is going to eat everyone's lunch here in the same way Japan did in the 70s/80s, and Korea went in even cheaper in the 90s and 00s (how many Hyundai Excels/Accents were there in Australia in late 90s early 00s).

Nah screw needing adb, that absolutely kills free and open source software stores like fdroid, and fdroid have said as much that Google's then planned signing requirements would lead fdroid to stop.

The only way I'd even be remotely OK with another adb requirement is if

1. it's a requirement to unlock the ability to install unsigned apps, ie it's not to an install an app but set a flag
2. #1 becomes a requirement for Google certification so all manufacturers have to allow it
3. It doesn't cause other types of attestation to fail that we see with unlocked, rooted and third party roms failing certain checks preventing some apps, most commonly banking ones from working

So I bought a new mouse, of course it came with RGB nonsense. Before purchasing I checked it could be disabled.

Software to control RGB? 300MB. Who knows what the hell else that'll be doing.

Plugged it into my Linux laptop, download OpenRGB, 1.7MB application that supports more than just this brand. Turn off the rgb, click save to device.

You can also use systemctl status $pid to find out what service a process is from.

Even Nintendo has gyros in their controllers

Nintendo have had gyros in their controllers since 2006 with the release of the Wii. Basically right there with Sony (Nov 11th vs Nov 19th 2006)

Inconsistent within the same airport.

One time the line split into two, with announcers for each line shouting different instructions. One had you take all electronics out of bags, the other didn't. One lines instructions included taking your shoes off, the other didn't. The line without shoes off instruction had agents insulting people for taking their shoes off for not listening to instructions. 10M away there is an agent shouting at people to take your shoes off.

Hi, someone on the other end of the spectrum here.

The most exciting time in gaming in the past 10 years for me was when AMD announced the RX480. They were excited about a $200USD GPU, targeting 1080p gaming.

I ended up buying an RX570 a some time later on a sale. Great card!

Years later I started looking around for an upgrade. Each time I looked it was as if mid range had ceased to exist at a reasonable price point. For examplw last year in my region the RTX 3050 was 3x the price I paid for my RX570, and wasn't that much cheaper than an Xbox series S.

I think it's great you love your 7800XTX, and I hope they continue to make good high end cards. But I also hope they remember my area of the market exists, and after 8 years of engineering improvements since the RX480 I want them to release a pair of cards targeting 1080p and 1440p gaming at a killer price.

Also called payid. Instant payment, every single bank supports it, can register your phone number, email address, business number to your account so anyone with one of the Jose details can pay you. Tiny catch is you have to be in Australia

While not hard drives, at $dayjob we bought a new server out with 16 x 64TB nvme drives. We don't even need the speed of nvme for this machines roll. It was the density that was most appealing.

It feels crazy having a petabytes of storage (albeit with some lost to raid redundancy). Is this what it was like working in tech up till the mid 00s with significant jumps just turning up?

Web apps.

For reference I work for a competing mail provider and the majority of our users don't use SMTP or IMAP, instead exclusively using the web app.

Easy. Release the innocuous ones. And transcribe the incriminating the same way blind people can get descriptions of movies.

Describe the heinous acts, use anonymity for the victims, use the names for everyone else.

If the cause of this is because of Cyberpunk then that's ridiculous. It'd be like Steam deleting cloud saves because someone's Half Life save file got too big... It's their own game, marketplace and ecosystem.

I used to turn to custom roms to extend the life of my phone. My first smartphone didn't get an official update after I purchased it for example. The custom roms often made the phone snappier too.

These days I'm on a mid range Samsung phone released almost 4 years ago and it's still getting updates.

I always find the term eating the onion amusing. Especially as a Australian where we had a conservative Prime Minister bite into and eat a raw onion like an apple.

FYI there are alternative matrix servers to Synapse. I'm playing around with Tuwunel, it's a single binary and you're done.

It uses rocksdb so you just give it a directory and it puts everything there,. ie no need to spin up a db. And there is a config option to disable federation if that's something you don't want.

Could it scale to thousands of concurrent users? Probably not but it seems to be the simplest chat app to self host I've found.
