  • Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, at centre of Olympics gender row, files legal complaint over online harassment

    Jump

  • He did nothing other than get a silver medal with his partner. But my suspicion is that he's being used as s dog whistle meme. Because its a White-passing guy not using special gear, often being contrasted against an asian woman who is using special glasses.

  • Wouldnt be surprised.

    Equally, wouldnt be surprised at them being behind that Turkish shooter who didnt use the special glasses.Even though: it was a pairs event and he had a partner(who was using the glasses) and he wasnt the only person not using them.

  • Good luck, you missed your chance to buy and/or acquire a sign from Bed, Bath and Beyond.

  • Delta CEO says CrowdStrike-Microsoft outage cost the airline $500 million

    Jump

  • Please go read up on how this error happened.

    This is not a backwards compatibility thing, or on Microsoft at all, despite the flaws you accurately point out. For that matter the entire architecture of modern PCs is a weird hodgepodge of new systems tacked onto older ones.

    1. Crowdstrike's signed driver was set to load at boot, edit: by Crowdstrike.
    2. Crowdstrike's signed driver was running unsigned code at the kernel level and it crashed. It crashed because the code was trying to read a pointer from the corrupt file data, and it had no protection at all against a bad file.

    Just to reiterate: It loaded up a file and read from it at the kernel level without any checks that the file was valid.

    1. As it should, windows treats any crash at the kernel level as a critical issue. and bluescreens the system to protect it.

    The entire fix is to boot into safe mode and delete the corrupt update file crowdstrike sent.

  • Delta CEO says CrowdStrike-Microsoft outage cost the airline $500 million

    Jump

  • Crowdstrike also bypassed Microsoft's driver signing as part of their update process, just to make the updates release faster.

    That MS is getting any flak for this is just shit journalism.

  • Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline

    Jump

  • The first thing Starbucks did when they bought Teavana was increase the prices by 25 - 50%, despite them already being on the upper end of local looseleaf tea shops.

    Combine that with the change from actual tea to sugar-added, Oprah approved crap signed the death warrant for that chain.

  • Officers Texted Each Other About Trump Shooter but Didn’t Approach Him

    Jump

  • We knew this already?

    The local sniper team was already reported to have sent this up the chain but got no response until that guy climed onto the roof and was about the shoot.

  • It is not random. He has a group of people doing a deceptively good job crafting the message for each region. Just like he did in 2016 with Cambridge Analytica.

    He, himself, is a barely coherent idiot, but I think it allows their message to be received by people who also don't have that good an education.

    E.G. find one of his speeches from the rust belt. They're all fairly similar. Will hit notes of corruption, proud people, fight the NYC and California democrats that did this to them, anti-trade and protectionism, etc. Then go find one like this one that was to bible belt extremists. Completely different. Will still hit some common notes(NYC/Cali), but the underlying message and theme are miles apart.

    Edit: to be clear, its all bullshit lies that are telling people exactly what they want to hear.

  • Its apparently missing a dolphin.

  • CrowdStrike CEO requested to testify on global IT outage

    Jump

  • Trick is that any respectable OS should crash in this scenario. Including when cloudstrike did this to Linux.

    There was an uncaught exception in a program that was using a workaround to run unsigned code at a kernel level.

    The only part of this on MS is not investigating how Cloudstrike was doing updates. Otherwise its 100% Cloudstrike that set all of this in motion.

  • Big publishers ‘eject too soon’ from live service titles, says Warframe boss. “It comes out, doesn’t work and they throw it away”

    Jump

  • You're confusing me with someone else. Havent talked about FOMO in warframe with you.

    FOMO in warframe is events like the just finished Jade Shadows, one offs like Scarlet Spear or the (very) infrequently run Plague Star.

    We are in agreement about DE uses Dark Patterns, you're just more jaded than I am. Calling it p2w though is a stretch IMO.

    Jump

  • The whole prime access is a p2w mechanic that prior to Liches was arguably considerably more important.

    Now with Lich, Sister and Railjack weapons that are all play-only access.Galvanized and Prime mods you can't p2w.

    Nevermind the whole Steel Path and incarnon adapters, where while a small set is plat available, and the only good weapon in that set is the Angstrum, and aforementioned Galvanized mods.

    Jump

  • Prime resurgence is a less predatory version of prime vault. It allows free players easier and more precise access to unvaulted items, including armor and accessories that were previously impossible to get as a free player.

    See the price drop for Glaive Prime today. Dropped off a cliff because its unvaulted.

    Jump

  • Its the same mechanic you describe above.

    If you miss it in the free battlepass, it comes back later in a random chance per mission to get a single drop.

    You're arguing in bad faith by praising DRG for using the exact same system Warframe uses.

    Jump

  • Also 4 digits playtime here, but that is irrelevant.

    You're not wrong, but you are confusing dark patterns with p2w. Sadly they all do dark patterns now. Even Deep Rock Galactic is loaded with them.

    Jump

  • It arguably isn't anymore, although it looks like it is. Yes, you can buy prime frames and weapons, but can't buy the mods or arcanes directly from the game to outfit them. Even then, prime weapons on their own are not the best in the game by a long shot, and a prime warframe does not guarantee it being "meta".

    The weapons that are the best are locked behind story quests, and even once you unlock one of those vendors, only one of them that you can buy with platinum is any good.

    They were considering adding a destiny style story skip, but when they asked for feedback it was so negative they immediately relented.

  • Love the guy, but he also misses over that warframe has monetizion that beats the pants off of all of the others.

  • Trump Media Made a Deal That Could Secure a Major Financial Windfall for the GOP Candidate.

    Jump

  • Depends how much he invested. The money on hand might be more important to him to make him an actual billionaire.

    Also, he has to keep bribing the Supreme Court aftee they crowned him.
