Heck even 30 minutes ahead for 1% of devices wouldve had a reasonable chance of catching this

Automatic updates should still have risk mitigation in place, and the outage didn’t only affect small businesses with no cyber security capability. Outsourcing does not mean closing your eyes and letting the third party do whatever they want.
This comment is amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to lay it out for me. My weekend might be ruined by Minecraft on deck now!!
I tried to start playing mc on the deck but I don’t really understand how to make changes to the controller setup. I’ll have to sit down and read it properly and try again next time I get the urge.
Can I interview with you lol - this sounds great!
Re: your last paragraph -
Think of it this way. Google pulls in 300 billion USD a year and 80% of that is advertising revenue, not leaving a whole lot of the pie for Pixel phones once you take out subscriptions, Chromebooks, GCP, etc etc.
Sure, they’re probably making some money on every pixel sale but the point of them making mobile phones is to support their advertising business.
I’m not a Graphene user, but that’s the way I see it. At the end of the day if you get the phone secondhand you’re not giving them any money at all.
The browser versions aren’t too awful, if that’s an option.
Makes you connectable. If you don’t forward ports for your torrent client you can only connect to peers who are port forwarding, meaning you will download and upload more slowly in most cases.
You might know this already, but try emailing the primary authors directly and asking for a copy, it’s often the easiest way to get them if you haven’t got any other way to access.
That’s the great thing about open source though. Sure, you might drop off the face of the earth tomorrow. But if you do, the code is there, and maybe someone who was using it clones the repo and carries on that work.
See, you know Reddit is packed with bots when that shitty repost has 6000 upvotes and “does this sub don’t have mods” has 129.
My doctor gave me four months to live.
We’ll see in a year, lol
I’ve got a pretty good mixture of qualifications and am working in a tech adjacent role so I’m not starting from nothing. I have some decent connections and might be able to carve out something at my current org. So it could be worse.
Reddit death > installing mint on my second PC > realising I can run most of the games I play and installing mint on my main PC > start learning Rust as a first foray into programming in a long time > realise I want to go back to uni and study info tech to get out of my shitty marketing job > get a shitty second hand laptop off my parents that struggles to run windows and install endeavourOS to try something different.
It really is a slippery slope. When does it end???
It was a joke, I think
I thought Apex Legends added aim assist for PC controller users some time ago? Could be misremembering.
If Linux based handhelds keep getting more popular for gaming, to the point where they represent 5 or 10% or even more of the PC gaming market share, I feel like incompatible anticheats could spell the death of some games when competitors come up that are compatible with the platform.
I don’t expect league of legends to die as a result of this and only this but surely it’s a possibility. From the time I used to play league, I never really seemed to encounter any cheaters (or at least not enough to notice it) over hundreds of hours played. I really don’t see the value proposition to adding it, where I can understand it more in a FPS/TPS.
Of course it’s just as likely, if not more so, that the deck and similar platforms are just a phase, or that a windows based handheld takes the market by storm.
If you use VLC, Stremio can’t track your progress in a video which is quite frustrating. It is a better media player though, I especially like the picture in picture mode. I mostly use Stremio on my crappy off brand smart tv and can’t get the vlc player to work though.
When you pay for enterprise equipment, you are typically paying a premium for longer, more robust support. Consumer products are less expensive because they don’t get this support.
