Ubisoft Paris Mobile, Ubisoft Ivory Tower, Ubisoft Nadeo, Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Owlient, Ubisoft Da Nang, Ubisoft Paris, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubisoft Quebec, Ubisoft Annecy, Ubisoft Chengdu, Ubisoft San Francisco, Ubisoft Milan, Ubisoft Mumbai, Ubisoft Düsseldorf, Ubisoft Mainz, Ubisoft Bordeaux, Ubisoft Montpellier, Ubisoft Singapore, Ubisoft Saguenay, and Ubisoft Bucharest to name a few are Ubisoft and they produce and publish games.
Yes, these are all their children studios. Ubisoft Entertainment (colloquially referred to as just Ubisoft), as an entity, is a video game publisher.
Does that make all their children studios AAA? A lot of them don't have massive employee numbers and their budget per game varies greatly lol.
Ubisoft is a publisher, not a game dev studio. They publish games made by their child studios. They don’t produce games themselves.
Larian has less than a 1000 employees
Yes, they have 500 employees which would be quite large for an Indie development studio.
DICE (studio behind the Battlefield games), for example, has 700 employees.
CD Project RED, (Cyberpunk, Witcher games), has 615 employees.
If budget is the qualifier for AAA, Larian has put out multiple massive budgeted games in both BG3 and Divinity 2. I’m not sure which metric would disqualify Larian as being a AAA studio.
As someone with a burned out 9800x3D and an equally useless X870 motherboard, I would personally say to maybe wait for benchmarks, user reviews, and such for whatever CPU AMD puts out in 2027.
A bit surprised there was no discussion about this on any Fediverse instances.
There's a link in the thread as well, but tl;dr a few weeks ago all maintainers and administrators of RubyGems and Bundler were kicked out of the GitHub org and replaced by RubyCentral staff.
About six hours after Ellen broke the news, Ruby Central published their response: Strengthening the Stewardship of RubyGems and Bundler.
A post that feels like AI-generated corporate speak and bears no signature from anyone at Ruby Central willing to take responsibility.
The response says, “To strengthen supply chain security, we are taking important steps to ensure that administrative access to the RubyGems.org, RubyGems, and Bundler is securely managed. This includes both our production systems and GitHub repositories. In the near term we will temporarily hold administrative access to these projects while we finalize new policies that limit commit and organization access rights. This decision was made and approved by the Ruby Central Board as part of our fiduciary responsibility.”
But while Ruby Central has the right to lock down the RubyGems.org Service infrastructure, it never owned the RubyGems GitHub repositories.
DHH ignored Ellen’s post but instead retweeted the Ruby Central announcement with the caption “Ruby Central is making the right moves to ensure the Ruby supply chain is beyond reproach both technically and organisationally.”
A position that seems to stand in stark contrast to his other opinions. For example, he criticised Apple’s control of the App Store and takes the ownership of his own open source projects seriously.
If you're confident that your system is compromised and it persists beyond re-installations, you can try to reduce the attack surface by switching up your setup a bit.
Try installing something like OpenBSD or FreeBSD if your hardware is supported. Software made for Linux often doesn't even work on BSD flavors unless it's recompiled specifically for those Operating Systems. Another alternative would be Alpine Linux. Software that relies on glibc often doesn't work on Alpine thanks to musl.
If your network has been compromised, consider looking into your router's settings. If you can, try to setup OPNSense so you have better control and visibility over network traffic. You can setup some pretty extensive firewall rules, and if you're savvy with pf you can really go all out. Alternatively, you can setup an app like Wireshark to take a look at what ingress and egress traffic looks like for your device.
None of this has to be permanent unless you're comfortable with a different setup. Hackers will eventually get bored and move on. You just need to outlast them with a setup they can't do much with.
Sure. I wrote the docker-compose file in the repository. Unless something major has changed, it should be pretty straightforward to just clone the repo and then run
Midnight Club I and Midnight Club II for PS2/Xbox were some of the best arcade street racing games. I never got to play the 3rd game or later titles, but the first two were sick.
I hate the director for deciding to associate a fictional character with societal issues.
Has there been any movie where fictional characters aren't associated with societal issues? I ask because I'm pretty sure every single movie does this.
You might have a point if those people had no choice
Yes exactly and I may haved leaned on that a bit to make my point here. I worked at an MSP where 90% of their clients had the exact setup I mentioned, so workers had no choice but to run TeamViewer. The company would refuse any other recommendations specifically because it had already paid for a number of perpetual licenses and (at least at the time) free alternatives were limited. It was really awful even back then (~2015ish).
And for what it's worth, I also agree that TeamViewer is an awful company and the software itself is awful, and of course if you can help it don't fucking use it today lol.
The argument is that anyone still using TeamViewer deserves this, and anyone who isn't isn't actually impacted bym this change so it's irrelevant.
That's your argument, and I disagree with it. I've already shared why.
and anyone who isn't isn't actually impacted by this change so it's irrelevant.
This is also wrong. Having the license revoked means the people who had one can't use it at all whether they were using it or not. Let's set aside that you shouldn't advocate or endorse a company selling a product, shitting the bed, then revoking the product from those that already paid for it.
You'd be surprised, but there's tons of small companies and organizations that rely solely on viewing software, some ancient version of Windows Server, and a remote toaster for administration still to this day. Those people are directly impacted by this.
I don't think they deserve a license revocation because I don't think any company should be able to take back a product that a user has purchased for no cited reason. Which is the case here.
