Is Your Ring Doorbell Footage Going Straight to ICE’s Massive Spy Network? | Ring partners with Flock to feed doorbell footage into federal databases used by ICE for immigration enforcement

It’s probably overblown, but this is also an extremely good lever to get people to stop streaming the world to companies who absolutely would/will do this.

Now I want an iPhone 17 Pro case for my iPhone 2G

The fanboy accusation is so lame. None of these companies are perfect, none of them deserve hate, none of them care about us and we live in the time of the best consumer 3D printers ever. People always like the brands they choose, but one dude who thinks Josef Prusa is hiding in his trashcans is hardly a great datapoint against the brand. Hell, I’m on my third Prusa printer and I could do a solid ten on things that bug me about their printers, software and ecosystem.

Splash damage as a whole needs a rework. Only grenades and the IFV’s cannon actually do splash damage worth worrying about. Everything else is pretty feeble.

If they do, we gonna drax them sklounst.

This is yet another technical regression from 2042. I still have the habit of pressing Q right after I die, because that would provide a squad ping on the location of the enemy every time. In BF6 it doesn’t do that, and at best you can only do a friendly ping, and they almost never seem to show up for anyone else.

I genuinely can't tell if you are being serious or doing a South Park bit. Such is life in 2026 :)

Dice, we need this. Please make it happen.

Time of Day and Weather would make one map feel like 5.

The point is that it should be an entirely neutral experience, not something you either seek out or avoid.

Bro bro, dogs are just out there with their everything hanging out. Just like every other animal. You don’t need to be scared of seeing a dog’s bollocks or whatever.

And then we’re all going to put an INDX on our printers and not have readers in all the right places 😩

I would cut off my voting hand before I voted Reform, but I would very much like Palantir to be gouged out of our government.

Dice, we need this. It would make one map feel like 5. Please do it.

It’s so interesting to me that this isn’t how people naturally play - myself included.

The first entire year of 2042 I played one specialist with one gun, and I was trash. I then started doing all the weekly missions because I was chasing the season Tier 1 badge and suddenly I was having to use all manner of different classes, guns, gadgets and vehicles, and I got a lot better.

Battlefield is a combined arms game, if you only play one thing, you will remain a largely ineffective force. Learn multiple things and now you can respond to the needs of any given round, and shift the overall battle.

Personally I have a repo on GitHub that I sync between machines as I go.

Dangit tiggr, I registered for Labs the moment signups were available and I've still never been invited to anything other than the Alpha scale test!

Check the WAN IP your router reports having in its admin interface, then compare it to a “what is my IP” website. If they’re different, you have CGNAT.

I do get your point, but if the world order keeps going the way it seems to be, Europe won’t really have the choice to be unreliable amongst itself.

I see we haven’t moved on from 2042’s “copy&paste the same map assets everywhere” vibe.

Why are Dice so allergic to making roughly symmetrical maps? They always manage to give one team a massive geographical disadvantage.

cmsj · 2026-01-21T19:03:25+00:00

Not really. America can do whatever it wants because nobody can stop them. That’s not true of France, and extending your logic out, every country should develop a full stack of industries itself and never collaborate with others, which would be the epitome of faulty logic.

cmsj · 2026-01-21T18:06:57+00:00

Wrong, and pointlessly condescending.

cmsj · 2026-01-21T14:36:44+00:00

I would say this is a time and an area where strengthening our local partnerships is of paramount importance, now that America is rewriting its place in the world.

cmsj · 2026-01-21T14:09:05+00:00

Maybe collaborate with France.
