  • EA is hiring a Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer to lead development of a native ARM64 driver for their Javelin kernel anti-cheat system and start laying groundwork for Linux/Proton support

    Jump

  • Maybe so, but kernel cheats these days are extremely easy to make, even more so on linux (since you can just hotload them at will while windows whines about signing).

    ‘Never trust the client’ does very little to prevent automation and aimbots.

    In league of legends for example, kernel cheats that auto-aim your skillshots and automatically walk out of the enemy’s were really common, especially in high elo, and there is nothing the server can do to prevent them. I’ve seen my fair share of cheaters around GM elo over the years, but now, I don’t think I’ve seen a single one since they added vanguard. Though it does suck that I still need a windows partition.

  • Or the person wearing a thin jacket in -20C

    Jump

  • It’s the contrast I think. -20c outside, keep it at 19c at home then go to a public place and they keep it at 23-24c for some reason. No wonder I feel like I’m being slow roasted.

  • The major complaint I hear is that it takes forever to charge. It’s fine for commuting if you charge at home/work, but sounds a bit rough for road trips and the likes.

    I often see people at the gas station’s plug just watching videos or reading a book outside, doesn’t make me want one. Hybrid though I could see myself buying.

  • Skyrule dinner

    Jump

  • If you have a slow cooker or dutch oven, making a basic stew is a simple as cutting veggies and throwing that with some broth and beef cubes for a few hours. Spice it with a lot of thyme and garlic. For a better broth, consider red wine (the cheapest is fine) and thicken it with corn starch.

    I always do stews for myself and I live alone. You can store the extra portions in mason jars, keeps very well, though if you’re doing that I recommend whole small potatoes since cut ones will dissolve over time.

  • We don't do that here.

    Jump

  • Considering a single can of most soda has around 50g of sugar in it, which is more than the daily recommended amount, I wouldn’t call soda “not that sugary”.

  • Student Parking

    Jump

  • But it’s good.

    If parking is free, you’d still be paying for it indirectly through your tuition. By charging for it, only those who actually need it pay for it.

    Imagine you don’t have/use a car but still indirectly pay for other people’s parking spots because they can’t be bothered to walk.

    I have to stop you right there.

  • Hard work

    Jump

  • Honestly you don’t need your family to be rich. A family well-off enough to give you:

    • Good financial education
    • Doesn’t kick you out at 18 or require rent
    • Pays your tuition (maybe not in the US)
    • Supporting in your endeavors
    • Family loans (not having to pay interest is massive)

    Makes a HUGE difference.

  • Buying supplements for this harmless a phenomenon is kinda crazy.

  • mogged

    Jump

  • Doubt that. Falling like this happens to me every winter, it’s not that bad, it just hurts for a week or two after that.

  • try it. just a little taste.

    Jump

  • I like Satisfactory but it’s so much more shallow than factorio, especially when mods get involved. It’s also poorly optimized (at least compared to factorio, which I don’t think any game has come close to in that regard). It’s a fun game to play once or twice, or for people who don’t have much time to sink into it, but it gets boring pretty quickly imo. Factorio on the other hand has some of it’s most popular mods take 100+ hours to complete.

  • Which healthcare would you choose?

    Jump

  • Of course I agree a long wait time for treatment is better than no treatment at all. But the common concern here I hear from most people around me is that it’s generally much slower (at least in Quebec) than in other countries with such healthcare (eg. Scandinavian countries). How much of that is just a case of “the grass is greener on the other side”, I do not know.

    I’ve been fortunate enough to not require healthcare so far, though I’m not sure how it will go when I need it. The population is getting older, and older people generally need more healthcare. That’s less health workers for more sick people and less workers paying for more healthcare.

  • Which healthcare would you choose?

    Jump

  • Might depend where you live. Here in Quebec, I know someone who could either get his cancer cured in 2+ years here (which would have been too late, but technically free or almost free), or instantly in the US but for 200k, so he raised money and got it cured in the US.

    Could be that this isn’t the same in other parts of Canada, but at least in Quebec, this kind of story is very common. At a smaller scale, one would pay to go to the private sector here instead.

  • Yes, and when you press ‘Home’ it just teleports you home. It’s such a big time saver.

  • PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop"

    Jump

  • Maybe, but this isn’t just any year, this is THE year of the linux desktop.

  • What you linked is very different. It’s something you write down but are expected to still remember later. If this helps you with your grocery list, then yes this is good, but if instead of actually using your memory you look at the list, that’s what’s bad. Writing itself is very good, it’s not having to recall it that’s not.

    In a test at school for example, handwritten notes does help memory, since you’re still expected to use your brain later to remember it, as opposed to reading the notes.

    Note that while I say it’s “bad”, it’s really just one factor among many. Just like everyone knows sugar is bad yet everyone consumes it to some extent. But the more of those “bad” things you avoid, the more likely you are to suffer from memory issues later.
