Could they not add HEVC support? Or is there some technical limitation that meant starting from zero was a good idea?
Yeah the US differs by a couple of weeks iirc
20yrs ago I had to help my comp sci housemate build a website for his module. I was not a CS student.
Some things never change.
Alt: a single pane comic in which a person says to another person: "silicate chemistry is second nature to us geochemists, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars.
The other person says: “and quartz, of course”
The first person replies: “of course.”
The caption to the comic reads “even when they’re trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person’s familiarity with their field”
I can’t imagine cheating being a huge problem I’m a game with only 5-10k players that doesn’t have MTX. There’s just no incentive there to buy cheats.
Maybe this is the fix they should do, rather than spend money developing a decent anticheat that they then also won’t maintain. Cus money.
I completely agree. I taught JS/TS for 5yrs and I always emphasised that the ‘class’ keyword was just syntactic sugar for what was already available in prototype inheritance of JS.
Huh? I’ve worked with TypeScript + React for the last 5yrs and the only time I see OOP is when someone’s done something wrong.
Maybe you’re thinking of old react with class based components?
I trust Nord as much as I trust any VPN that has independent audits of their no-log policy.
And yes Tor is slow, but I dont think that makes in impractical, you’re trading privacy for speed.
Yeah I get the same impression from the general chatter but no one seems to ever say what’s bad about NordVPN. I find their software pleasing to use, the meshnet functionality saves me some trouble, and the speeds seem to be very high and it’s reliable.
There’s other stuff their marketing material speaks to that people can choose to believe or not, but the above is why I subscribed.
If folks ever shared good, verifiable reasons to not use them I’d certainly look elsewhere.
Also - what’s not practical about Tor? Seems perfectly practical for my purposes.
I’d like you to repeat it please. But slower this time.
It’s exclusivity deals that are the problem. Governments should legislate them away so that there can be competition.
Then we’d all choose the marketplace of our preference. Like supermarkets.
Video streaming, music streaming, games consoles, even mobile OSs all could benefit from some anti-monopoly legislation.
Awesome thanks for the write up! The headphones I’m replacing are XM3 but I’ve had them over 5 years now I think and they’re showing their age (just aesthetically as the cushions are starting to crack, and flaking isn’t far away imo) so I suspect I’ll go for the XM5 as I’ve been really happy with these.
For gaming I think I’ll stick with steelseries (assuming they still have a model that does replaceable batteries) as I always forget to charge stuff so the base station charging the spare has been awesome.
Thanks again!
I’m also in the market for new headphones! Wireless. I currently have a pair for gaming and a pair for music/travelling. It’s critical the travelling pair have outrageously good sound cancelling. Both must have a mic. Unlimited budget.
Have at thee!
Yeah you’re right I don’t know what I was smoking when I wrote that.
YouTube does implement DRM for its subscription content apparently as well.

One of us. One of us.
This was true of IE too.
All of this has happened before, and will happen again.
TOR browser and a decent VPN.
Personally use Nord VPN but guessing from how infrequently it gets recommend by folks on lemmy I’m guessing it’s not the best.
What makes you hate it?
