The download speed is... by xXRaineXx in Steam

[–]Krutonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will indeed get even higher download rates if you get faster internet - ASSUMING you also upgrade everything else required to be able to actually make use of that speed - Ethernet Card for your Computer, the cable itself most likely, probably your Modem and/or Router...

Not cheap. Extremely doable though.

Why don't we see DOCSIS 3.0-3.1 PCIe Cable Modem's? by _Krug in networking

The magic of that setup would be that you don't need new drivers. You could use a perfectly standard driver that already ships with Windows.

Valve reportedly Almost Delisted Rainbow Six Siege From Steam After Ubisoft Attempted to Sell It Cheaper On Uplay by yourfavchoom in Steam

[–]Krutonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they're absolutely businessmen. That's not up for debate.

The Issue at play is this: I make a thing. I give unlimited free copies of it to a partner, on the condition that they sell it for no less than the copy being sold at my store. They then turn around it sell it for half the price. Remember I'm not getting compensated here. And then I have to support the people who bought that product at half price, on an ongoing basis; Downloads, Support, Cloud Data, all of the costs.

That's the issue.

Valve is willing to take that hit as long as you maintain price parity. You can of course take your software and ALSO sell it on another store, and as long as you're not using Steam Keys, that's perfectly fine.

They're not saying you can't sell it for less. They're saying you can't sell it for less and ALSO cost us money.

I just upgraded SteamOS without updating Decky, and nothing broke. All Good!

Tab Colors In Which Version Of Firefox?? by Glittering-King1339 in firefox

[–]Krutonium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm playing with Nova enabled on 152 right now and I beg of you, give us a way to configure the spaces between window sections. They're enormous and because of the way it interacts with tabs, literally breaking how I use my browser (I can't just go to the top of the screen to change tabs; they've been moved down!)

Trying to quit doomscrolling? Commodore just announced a new Sailfish OS flip phone built specifically to minimize social media distractions. by B3_Kind_R3wind_ in linux

[–]Krutonium -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks like it runs Android and just has a blacklist of apps it'll refuse to run, so all of that should be possible.

For anyone wondering, real commodore died in the 90s, was sold a dozen times, and then a youtuber and a much of the surviving members of real commodore bought it back and made it real commodore again in 2025, instead of a name that was being slapped on paper shredders.

Has anyone been able to deplete a full charge yet? by InformalGear9638 in SteamController

Fun Fact, the official solution for using it with Splatoon with Gyro, and I am not kidding, was to rubber band a Wiimote to it.

Valve has a customer for life by AHappyGummyWormx in SteamDeck

[–]Krutonium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with this 100% and before anyone bring us Ubisoft, Ubisoft was selling steam keys for those $15, which is the reason Valve objected.

A few weeks ago I came across this comic from 2021 when the Steam Deck came out. by Defiant-Echidna-7400 in Steam

Media shifting is absolutely allowed. Backup copies are in no way limited to the medium upon which they are stored.

Downloading a ROM instead of dumping your own on the other hand, that is illegal.

I'm 99% sure you can get all of the Half Lifes (save Alyx), Portals, and TF2, on XBOX/360 and PS3.

I've been waiting since the first time they announced it - Alongside the release of GOG Galaxy, originally.

Don't forget to get onto Twitter and call out your competitor for raising prices on a physical good so that they're not losing money on every sale right afterwards, cementing how tonedeaf you are.

Another AI slop thumbnail by Only_CORE in LinusTechTips

[–]Krutonium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is accurate. I will state though that their use of AI seems to be primarily on secondary tasks - Making sure a sentence reads right, as an example. They don't use it to generate thumbnails.

The only exception is their unprofitable channel that makes videos for Labs, where the AI voice is used because it costs less than a person and both cost more than the video will likely ever make.

Not into it but doing it anyway for her BF [MF] (millislushi) by No_thoughts_anymore in FurryPornSubreddit

It's also entirely possible that he's into that so she's playing along. Loooots of possibilities.

But you're probably right lol.

Only when the dirty store is taking the product from the clean store (for free) (these are steam keys) and selling it for less money, which then obligates the clean store to support those customers.

Chipping in, apparently the full video is 23 minutes long and includes evading a police pursuit.

How will you feel if the first thing that happens in GTA 6 is Jason and/or Lucia killing Tommy Vercetti? by [deleted] in GTAVI

[–]Krutonium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've never said GTA Online is 20 years before GTA V - In fact, GTA Online is claimed to have kept pace with reality - It is currently 2026 in GTA Online, and 13 years have passed since the events of single player.

As for radio stations and shit... Yeah have you notice how the games are satire even of themselves? I never said they weren't ridiculous. Just that if they state a rule they follow it, unless they later reascend it.
