It looks great and runs great. The only gripe I have is that HDR isn’t a feature (and the mods that turn it on are just reverse tonemapping, not true HDR)

UE5 has a bad reputation in the community due to developers making UE5 games without understanding how to use the UE5 engine, leading to performance problems. Subnautica 2 is very well tuned and so those criticism don’t apply.

If you liked the gameplay loop in the first one and enjoyed the experience of learning about the behaviors/uses of all of the various flora and fauna then this game is exactly that but there’s a new world of things to learn, you get new kinds of equipment/powers and it looks prettier.

They sold 2M copies in the first 12h, I think they’ll hit that target.

You called me, friend. Who is this?

Yes? Hello?

WPA2 has a deauth attack that will do similar. (Note: This is crimes, don’t do crimes)

I would be outraged if you didn’t

TL;DR: Stop jumping between Linux tools and setups.

Pick something simple, stick with it, and actually learn it before moving on. A deep knowledge of one toolset is more useful than a shallow understanding of many different ways of solving the same problem.

Modern day “It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun”.

Try EndeavourOS, it gets you into the Arch package manager environment but gives you an easy way to install and chooses a sane set of default packages.

Installing and figuring out what specific things you want to install are usually the biggest hurdles for Arch

Jesus. It probably does happen. 😭

If I ever want to know about rich people using shady tricks in order to get tax breaks, there is one content creator that always delivers: https://www.floridapoliticalreview.com/trumps-mar-a-lago-tax-break/

Yeah, I meant all of the substations, roads, police, etc that will now need to have a bit more funding.

I don’t know a good way of solving it, but the ‘I can just go to another state’ gives these companies way too much bargaining power and the net result is that all states lose out on income that they shouldn’t have to have given up in the first place.

It seems absurd, it isn’t like regular people can just say ‘Well, I’m going to buy a house in the next county over unless you guys give me a break on my property tax’ and then get to live there property tax free (though, now that I think about it, I’m sure there are people rich enough to do this too :/)

Yeah, it’s a really dumb way of doing things that should be regulated as it results in essentially every major industrial site operating tax free for years because they can always play states off of one another.

Meanwhile the citizens of the state are going to spend years eating the costs of building the new infrastructure required to support the new operation.

That’s a bold admission. I guess they aren’t worried about people questioning either how the know or how they are able to remotely control our routers.

Another bit of evidence of the dystopia.

If anyone is questioning it then they will find that the answers are pretty boring:

Consumer device manufacturers do not give a shit about security.

For the longest time these devices would ship with default passwords (and many likely still do) and allow remote administration from any IP address.

You could, ‘hack’ into a network by simply looking up the manufacturer of the device that you were connecting to and using their default username and password (which was often admin/admin). Then, for your convenience, you could write a firmware update to the router directly from the web interface.

In addition, they rarely perform any kind of automatic updating, so once a vulnerability is discovered there is no way for them to deploy a patch across all of their devices without every individual owner logging into the router console and pressing a button, which is not going to happen at scale.

There’s no nefarious conspiracy inserting backdoors into these products, just boring corporate greed resulting in valuing convenience over security.

In the words of Mario:

What a shitty thing to do

Why do they need to give tax breaks?

These companies are falling all over themselves to build data centers and can’t find enough places, states should be charging a tax premium on data centers.

You can’t work in the corporate world without being forced to do unspeakable things with an Excel spreadsheet.

Or, the ever useful “Some people say”

I would lambast you both for the obvious laziness of your rationality but since you clearly are my tribe have the same viewpoint as me then I’ll ignore any amount of irrationality.
