Hardware level cheat detection has always been a losing game. I’m a professional in similar area (not games) but it’s fundamentally impossible to do when you dont control physical hardware, it’s stupid. The only way to detect cheaters is machine learning based behavior analysis, period.
TL;DR: skill issue
Yeah the pattern basically repeats on every information technology:
Except these days it’s so accelerated that we barely get to enjoy step 2 :(
Really excited for this and hopefully that means steamvr on Linux will actually start working better! The current Beta build is much better but still lots of work to do.
I’m definitely getting the frame as upgrade from quest 3 which I rarely use due to it being attached to Meta. The controller is no brainer considering that old steamdeck controller is still one of the best controllers on the market. Not sure about steam machine mostly because I just built my own PC - would have totally waited for it if I knew it was coming but it looks so slick.
Very excited for Linux in 2026!
I’m not saying Iraq was not awful but at least it got US some oil domination which is a lot of return, Vietnam got nothing.
Sometimes I reminisce how real the internet was before the propaganda machines took over :(
Love Vlad Vexler, he nailed almost everything since the war started. Russia is actually not that complex, it’s just a very big gang really.
Nope can’t be bothered with any gambling - life’s too nice for crap like this.
has bet over $1 billion that the share prices of AI chipmaker Nvidia and software company Palantir will fall
not a very tough bet to make tbh.
very misleading title and literally no commenters could even read the first paragraph here lol. Man the AI hate is truly reaching the looms now
except when it’s sharing harmful content like pedophilia? no?
Not to defend it but people have a bit of selective bias here as it was not “very young girls” but <18. Still nasty but it was not out right full pedo shit and more geared to cringe teen culture at the time of “I’m 18 but this 17 year old is jail bait”. Then the subreddit became a big free speech topic and people straight up started posting young teens to really push the topic which proved reddit’s free speech stance wrong and they banned the subreddit.
Worth mentioning that at that time you could add anyone as moderator and they wouldn’t even know or decline the mod rights.
Yes I think Vietnam recently used something similar but AFAIK reprieve here leads to commuted sentence if no crimes are commited not like “you got 2 years now you die” more like “you got 2 years and didn’t do major shit so instead serving 20 instead of dying”.
Death penalty is entirely up to Supreme People’s Court and has been since CCP took over. It basically means the authoritarians decide which cases are death worthy. But it’s truethere have been some “reforms” that reduced what is death worthy and try to legitimize the system. Either way, all of that is moot in an authoritarian system and it’s silly to pretend otherwise.
Agreed, the cruelty and brutallity of these organizations is something else entirely and this sends a clear message that you will die if you go here. If anyone deserves a death penalty it’s these guys.
I’m generally against death penalty but this is great news. Chinese syndicates in the region are some of the worst people on earth right now and I say this as someone who’s currently based in Thailand and have been paying attention to the scam center issue for years now.
Seems like whatever protection they had within CCP is crumbling due to critical mass reaching the news lately and mostly thanks to strong exposure here by western journalists and pressure from SEA governments. Even CCP could not tolerate this and hopefully this means the end of this truly despicable source of human suffering.
There’s also been some rumors that CCP is directly involved with this as a policy to harm the west and weaken the SEA region which make sense, especially given the authoritarian nature but AFAIK there is no strong evidence here and it might have gotten too high profile either way so it’s very possible that these centers will be defeated soon.
Been a while since I used windows but afaik docs are much worse on that side of things. At least on Linux you find some command or smt that could fix your issue, many windows problems are unsolvable and completely undocumented. There isn’t even a centralized log system like journalctl on windows so every error is just an alert pop up that says nothing or just complete silence.
Immutable distros just add endless headache for new users
I disagree here. Sure it makes copy/paste computing a bit harder but it also prevents newbies from working themselves into a dysfunctional operating system which happens way more often than you’d think. People open a port or set some system variable for one thing and never set it back breaking everything else. With immutable system new users are forced into sustainable, reversible and transparent solutions.
The issue is that immutable linux is still pretty new so some mutable solutions aren’t adapted in immutable ways yet but if you’re just gaming you should never be on that side of the bleeding edge anyway.
They are extremely litigious. I work in software security and they are notorious for basically having an ocean of lawyers.
I’ve converted all my gaming to linux including vr and couldn’t be happier! Even hardware works flawlessly these days with the exception of VR at times. I’m still struggling to get No Man’s Sky to work on my quest 3 and linux VR and thats really the only thing I’m missing but it seems close to working just needs more fiddling.
Highly recommend Bazzite for people looking for a linux gaming distribution. It’s immutable which can complicate some things but it’s mostly plug and play and impossible to ruin due to immutable nature.
The client side anti cheat is a low effort hack that was good enough. Video game anti cheat devs are cheap as fuck because looking at client bits cost nothing compared to expensive machine learning pipelines that need to analyze all player performance. This is not a tech problem but a product/skill one.
