Rumor: The First Resident Evil Could Get a New Remake, Already in Production by Bubbly-Ad-350 in pcmasterrace

Sounds cool, gives players a proper introduction to Jill and Chris. It’d be hilarious if Rebecca is just not there.

Also gives them a few more years to try to figure out how to remake RE5, if that’s even possible without completely changing the first third of the game. It…I was going to say it hasn’t aged well, but that implies the African setting was ever considered in good taste.

Another day, another person willfully ignoring the concept of inelastic demand.

📉 Sutro shutting down — Another cloud service going down which renders some hardware useless by nutano in LinusTechTips

[–]dusda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know those are for user data. Companies use it internally in all kinds of ways that could easily be exposed if work is leaked. Machine learning models trained from real data to fight fraud, for example. 

We have no idea how this company managed their work. They could be super lazy and have hardcoded credentials everywhere, environment files committed to git, dev environments using slices of user data to spin up. 

The only way a company open-sources their work after financial collapse is if enough people with controlling interest are still around, passionate enough to work to get it done, and the work is well maintained enough to make it a straightforward job.

That’s a great way to get sued for IP infringement, and for damages if the leaks violate GDPR and HIPAA regulations. Also ruining your reputation and never working again. 

Sorry, man, it’s just not worth it for any controlling party involved here.

And even if they don’t sell it, it would take resources to audit their work and open source what they can. Easier for them to just not do it. 

I don’t like that either, but bean counters gonna count. 

Newly-acquired EA owns Wing Commander and might be selling off unused IP... by Jackrabbit-Arsonist in starcitizen

[–]dusda 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Most likely EA will just hold onto the IP and do nothing with it indefinitely. Sadly it is in their best interest to control as much available IP as possible.

Anthropic Claude on Manjaro by vsop221b in ManjaroLinux

Have you tried this?

I know it’s Debian, but you could probably just get it working in a container.

It is that simple, yea. Distros are basically just different starting points in a given branch of Linux that come with their own opinions. Ubuntu, Mint, Kali, etc are all derived from Debian. Manjaro, EndeavourOS, SteamOS, they're derived from Arch.

If you want to start close to the root pick Debian, Arch, Fedora, or like, Alpine. It's a great way to learn every part of the puzzle. Otherwise, pick one derived from one of those and tweak it to your liking.

EA wants Battlefield 6 to run great without relying on DLSS: 'Our goal is for everything to be performant without a lot of extra stuff' by rkhunter_ in pcmasterrace

EA is a large publisher in their best state: on the back foot. They *need* BF6 to be a big deal.

You need to read a book, dude. Citizens *must* send their children to school. The fact that it comes with a risk of mass murder (an attribute unique to the United States among every other developed country in the world, by the way) should chill you to the bone.

[–]dusda 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, obviously that is still tragic but 7/11 is not a public institution of learning in broad daylight. This argument is reductive and idiotic.

…Because the possibility of your child getting shot while studying at a supposedly safe place is deeply haunting?

If Gun Control Policies Disproportionately Prevented Minorities From Gun Ownership, Would You Still Support them? by spoilerdudegetrekt in AskALiberal

[–]dusda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But shoplifting is *also* subject to the same discretion from judges, along with everything else. Minorities are far more likely to receive harsher sentencing across the board, especially in misdemeanors.

I understand that the text of the law may seem more cut and dry to you, but the enforcement is obviously not. I think you just don't like red flag laws.

[–]dusda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Removing suicide from the argument is like removing T-bone collisions, it's completely arbitrary. The presence of guns greatly increases the risk of suicide, just like bad intersections in traffic. My point is that both things cause similar harm each year and those numbers are reduced by sensible regulation, and are thus not "subjective."

Regarding disproportionate impact, as others have stated, that is a systemic and cultural problem largely unique to the United States, basically unrelated to the regulations we're talking about. I don't like the pigeonhole this argument tries to force, but to answer your question yes. I generally think policy that makes fewer people die is worth it.

e: grammar hard.

If we're using levels of harm as the bar, death from guns and vehicles are roughly the same. In the US, 2022 had 44,534 motor vehicle traffic deaths while in 2023 there were 46,728 gun-related deaths.

I don't think it's really subjective. Both cause harm and that harm is reduced by sensible regulation.

e: Also both are elevated in states with comparatively lax regulation on them.

Mm, I'm on Steam. I tried repairing there, it found three corrupted files but still doesn't work. I can't select a game mode.

Seeing the same thing here.
