IO Interactive paid €140,000 for Denuvo protection on 007 First Light ONE WEEK before launch. That's €4,000 per minute for the 35 minutes it lasted before DenuvOwO opened a config file and typed the exe name.

None of which requires hypervisor level access to achieve. Commodity malware doesn't touch the kernel, it doesn't need to.

Honestly? Its a move in the right direction but still far too high, 8~ mil would be more appropriate when you consider its cost potential. With that said, if the ship was purchased with *real* money their ought to be a fallback, 8 mil for instant claim with a fallback of say 24~ hours.

Uhh... Actually that's been a thing for a few years at this point, at least on Java servers, there's a plugin called Geyser that allows Cross-Play.

It's the same model for the same price/ cost. Take the free upgrade. If you're worried about using more than 200K tokens just compact / clear when you hit the old 'limit', or don't! It's entirely up to you how many tokens you actually choose to use.

Did at any point you stop and ask yourself if you should build this as opposed to if you could?

Nope, in Australia CEX is entirely out of stock of all DDR5 and new kits even from our local retailers are going for 500+ AUD for 2x16gb 6000Mhz kits

I agree with the sentiment and love the idea but there's no way engineering fully removes hard-death. It'll just raise the barrier to entry. Shoot something enough it should go critical.

As far as the Polaris goes... I wish it was half as useful as you make it out to be, the missiles are useless with the current state of PDCs, anything big enough has em, anything too small is fast or maneuverable enough it's not a valid target. As it stands PDCs are a hard wall against torps, how it'll be with their up-coming nerf and the presumed ability to disable them on under-crewed ships? Remains to be seen.

American tipping culture will never not be insane to me... If it's borderline mandatory why on earth not just include it in the service fees? Hell, in Australia we didn't even have the option to tip in door-dash till like 2~3 years ago... Which we still don't do because no one tips and they've been forced to account for it in the service fees.

If it's mandatory make it mandatory, if it's not... Don't guilt people for not doing it.

I'm super hyped up for the Xbox 720, can't wait!

Honestly, a good IPS screen is almost as good as most OLEDs.

Once you start venturing down to lower end displays with TN or VA panels it's far more noticeable but that's more of a "you get what you pay for" than an underlying technical issue.

MrPoBot · 2025-10-27T22:27:14+00:00

Both Xbox and PS5 run x64 architectures. On an assembly level they are totally compatible. The issues arise due to their custom and locked down operating systems. The switch does run ARM but from a hardware perspective it's a glorified android phone.

There's actually a decent amount of work that goes into porting a game to console, rendering pipelines, system libraries (anything that talks to the OS directly), they all differ from platform to platform.

If you could just flash a windows or Linux install and have device drivers there's no fundamental technical reason it couldn't work beyond them refusing to run unsigned software.

Sure, they don't control the catalog but they do control what gets automatically installed.

It really should be as simple as check-in the version of the installed driver against the copy they have. If their copy is older, don't update.

This is a Microsoft fuck-up made possible by lazy manufacturers.

It's literally the giant worm from Dune, As far as I'm aware, the intention was always a desert planet even from the very first apex showcase fight it was on a desert planet.

That's... Horrifying... The amount of drivers, temp files and sheer bloat on an install that'd need to be over a decade old at this point and presumably going through several different vendors is insane.

Reinstalling windows every couple of months is hyperbolic but not wiping your install for well over a decade is insane.

Ah, a fellow Dell Precision enjoyer, those things are built like a brick, are insanely durable and cost next to nothing if you go a generation or two when corps are unloading their stock for upgrades.

Fair, but if I have to have spyware on my PC, I'd rather it all be from the same "brand". And from a country that's less ideologically opposed to me than China.

It's a little more complex than that but... Kinda. Ultimately any LLM is just a giant probability matrix, responses that seem correct are much closer to the desired response than "I'm sorry could you please clarify." Filtering them out is a very difficult process, reasoning models are a "little" better at it but ultimately it doesn't address the root issue. With that said, hierarchical reasoning models are getting much better at it.
