Fuck off Nvidia.
Fuck off Nvidia.
Yeah, it’s a shame they abandoned TF2. VAC is my preferred AC though, they were ahead of the curve with ML detection, now ML has blown up in a major way, that is what we should focusing on for AC, not borderline malware.
Yeah, “kernel level anticheat” has become a bit of buzzword in the competitive game scene and people just think it’s better without really understanding what that means. Microsoft could do one good thing here and begin blocking that shit.
Kind of fun, kind of chaos. Games start off pretty calm, then quickly turn into ability and dash spam. It feels quite clunky in places. The map is kind of confusing and unnecessarily complex. I personally think it would work better in a more traditional MOBA setup of 5v5, 3 lanes. But they are still refining it, so maybe it will turn out a lot better than it currently is.
No, not through Steam Families. Steam servers don’t host non-Steam games that you put in your library, it just launches the executable for you when you click play.
Yeah, maybe they should have some sort of ‘young child’ accounts for children under 13, that are required to be in a family with more restrictions on store access and such.
They are doing their jobs. but with limited manpower they have chosen not to stretch themselves even thinner by physically chasing a phone. As the article says, they try to be smarter about it.
Location isn’t that accurate, the phone was probably just traded in a car or in the street.
So the police get a call from the phone owner “yeah my phone location is on X street”, the police get down there, then what? Let’s say it was in a house, it’s rows of houses in London, do they knock on every door there and ask “hey have you stolen a phone?” in hopes the guy admits it? It could have been traded already so a description of someone might not be good enough.
I just read the whole article and it just re-iterates what I have just said. They recover a small amount of the phones because of how quick they move them after they have been stolen. It even says that the criminals “wrap stolen phones in tinfoil to block its signal”.
It’s easy to sit in your chair and just say “just go over there and arrest them”, without even taking a moment to understand the logistics of tackling it.
Then I don’t understand why you got defensive… whatever
Replied to the wrong comment?
GTA 5 was highly anticipated, even before anyone knew anything about online. GTA 6 is highly anticipated for the same reason. It’s a massive IP and most people just play the singleplayer anyway. Just because you and your friends don’t really care, doesn’t mean it’s not going to be the biggest launch of the decade (well, in history probably). I’m skeptical myself and will see what it is like once it comes out, but I can’t say I’m not interested in another GTA game.
Who is to say it was at an address and not just sold/handed off in the street? They don’t just take the phones to a house and pile them up, they will be sold on through fences rapidly and if they can’t reset them to resell to someone, they get sold for parts (hence why this one ended up in China).
With infinite budget sure, worth a shot, but it would cost a lot more than the price of the phone to track it down.
Realistically speaking, there isn’t enough personel or funds, so it isn’t worth attempting to chase the phone down. These phones move fast through fences, they aren’t just taken to one address and left there. The criminals could and probably do have ‘faraday bags’ to block signals from phones as they move them, only ever taken out to sell them along.
All the police can do is record any data they do get and compile it into a larger investigation with the hopes of attacking the head of the snake (but what even is that?).
To be fair, what are they supposed to do? The phone will be handed off a bunch of times within hours of it being stolen. You are not getting your phone back unless the thieves are caught in the act.
There are a lot of ‘fake’ 120Hz+ TVs you have to watch out for though. The real ones are expensive.
The point being really, most people dont upgrade their TVs at all, for as long as the picture is good. Consoles have the hardware todo 120Hz right now.
Thats another good point, when you are sat so far away from the screen, the resolution becomes less important.
I’ve only played two of them and they worked just the same as any other game. You are putting words into my mouth now, I refuted every ‘hoop’ you listed, I never said ‘just deal with it’.
I could build a pc, give it to anyone and it would work in the same vein as a console. What is the point you are trying to make? That PCs have loads of issues? The consoles are flawless? Make sense.
They sell tens of millions.
I have no idea what you just said.
Most games you just click play and they work. You don’t need to install drivers or programs or whatever you think everytime at all.
If they release a dodgy patch or one you don’t like, you can just revert it. On console you are stuck with whatever they give you.
Don’t like a game after a couple hours? Doesn’t work correctly? Refund it.
Mainly its linux that will have issues you have to navigate and that is probably where most of the technical questions you come across root from. If you have Windows then 99% of games will just work as you expect.
Also Nintendo: They are $70. Want an old game? Also $70. Sales? What are those?
Consoles are such a scam when you think about it, but their low barrier to entry carries them (along with the marketing of course).
Pros, more fps on low end hardware.
Cons, worse image, ghosting, blur, artifacting, lower overall performance because devs rely on upscaling.
It’s existence is a crutch. Games should be made properly and not rely on ML upscaling for meaningful performance.
Hardware is insanely powerful at the moment, the problem is time isnt spent making the most out of it anymore, which then increases demand for more powerful hardware (that we dont need). The sales loop for Nvidia, except now they want to sell you ML optimised cards, which cost more.
