Love amplitude and the universe they spanned across their games.

I hope they'll be able to make it work and continue creating great games. :)

Japanese court also tend to privilege big companies...

Babis is known to have done that for years, using his government position to facilitate it.

I'm so glad he was kicked out of the government, but I don't know if anything happened to him since. Probably not.

A Swiss journal reported about this as they identified and interviewed the watchmaker: https://www.letemps.ch/economie/horlogerie-joaillerie/donald-trump-propose-desormais-une-montre-swiss-made-a-100-000-dollars-dotee-d-un-mouvement-chaux-de-fonnier

However the article is ambiguous about what is actually made in Switzerland, sometime describing it as "the mechanism" and sometime as "the watch".

From what u understood It's a bit more complicated than that. Emulation is rather not illegal and in very thin ground.

I exited with a "lol no" when I saw the state of lightfall. So glad I did.

It's still a shame for the devs. Quite talented people, it's once again a case of major management fuck up and devs paying the bill...

Based on what Microsoft themselves said we know: everything will be stored (except edge private session...). They specifically say they don't do content moderation: they log everything.

Did you read the article?

Q. Cool, so hackers and malware can’t access it, right?

A. No, they can.

Q. But it’s encrypted.

A. When you’re logged into a PC and run software, things are decrypted for you. Encryption at rest only helps if somebody comes to your house and physically steals your laptop — that isn’t what criminal hackers do.

As a windows user I'm not delighted by this.

Edit: at this point you must be trolling...

Did you read the article?

This system basically do a character recognition on EVERYTHING the user is displaying and save the results in a very small file not that well protected.

The data is very small (I guess because it's basically text?), seems easy to find. That means the history of all you did on your computer (apparently only for the last three feays by default,but well...) can be stolen at once, in a minuscule file.

I'm not an IT specialist, but I don't see in which world this can remotely be a good idea...

Hmmm I heard of studies/prototyping/research to completely overhaul steel production in order to reduce the (gigantic) carbon footprint. It might be linked?

Not just heating it differently, really change the process.. Searching for source, will update.

Edit: not exactly what I was looking for but I found this: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-industry/us-pledges-up-to-1b-for-two-pioneering-green-steel-projects

Using hydrogen instead of coal, not for heating but for the reaction actually creating iron. I remeber reading about rotating furnace, like the one used to create cement.

Well I'd simply want to avoid giving biometric data to Google...

To be fair, thy said the one player game campaign doesn't need it, but multiplayer did.

That's still the case and that's why steam is giving refund: people are basically buying the game with part missing.

 

Hello all,

My Galaxy S8 is starting to feel its age. After now close to 7 years of service, it's starting to show its limits. The usual problems: Battery getting weaker and weaker, generally slow (My once/month visit of instagram for example is... a stutter) and, mot simportantly, no more security update.

I'm tempted to switch it to GrapheneOS and continue but I'm really afraid some "official" apps won't work anymore (mostly banking apps).

In October last year I started my quest for a new Android phone with the S8 form factor, or as close as possible for pocket-fit.

I've checked the various guide on this community and came ouf with the same question I had while doing research on my side.

Contenders were:

  • Fairphone 5, which philosophy was extremely tempting, especially the "fair" aspect and the self-repairing capabilities. However, its form factor and what I heard about extremely slow patch/updates were the last nail in its coffin-size (161.6 x 75.83 x 9.6 mm).
  • Cosmic Dolphin (Link) was also extremely tempting (secure OS, mechanical switch for GPS/Camera/Mice...) but a new company means possible bancrupcy and no more security update, plus the form factor (159.7 x 73.3 x 7.8 mm) meant it was also a no.
  • Xperias 5V and other in the lineup seemed interesting, especially the SD card slot. But no info regarding software updates and way to expensive.

Only two made the cut and I have to choose between:

None have a SD card, jack socket or removable battery but it seems these features are becoming more and more of a rarity.

Both have a at least 4 years of updates still.

Galaxy S23

Positives:

  • 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm
  • Updates for at least 3 years
  • 128 / 256 Gb Storage
  • Cheaper now that the S24 should arrive soon.

Negatives:

  • ~~Proc is a bit less efficient (meaning less time for the same battery size)...~~ Based on comments it may be the opposite, with the S23 being more efficient.

Pixel 8

Positives:

  • 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm
  • 7 year of updates
  • 128 / 256 Gb Storage
  • ~~I heard their Proc were more efficient than S23's~~ Based on comments it may be the opposite, with the S23 being more efficient.
  • Compatible with GrapheneOS (if test on my old S8 shows the important app I have still work there).

Negatives:

  • Google... Data leach amon leeches.
  • This insuferable camera bar on the back... Not really handy and will probably ruin a lot of pant's pocket.

I'm split between these two.

  • Would you have any advices regarding one or the other?
  • Points I haven't mentionned here?
