I was tempted by Arc. Intel drivers always "just worked", but they are just slow. Arc didn't address the problem like I'd hoped, and AMD really got their shit together in the last 5 years or so.

AreWeAntiCheatYet does a decent job of cataloguing what has anti-cheat, and what actually works on Linux / Wine.

It would be great to have it shown on the Steam store. I refunded a game recently because my kid bought something with anti-play by accident.

That's hilarious. I haven't been able to enable IPv6 since the August update. The machine just spins to 100% CPU across every core like a forkbomb.

It pissed me off because my home network is built IPv6-first.

If my work pushes 24H2 I'll just have to disable both :/

I'm waiting for the part that it gets used for things that are not lazy, manipulative and dishonest. Until then, I'm sitting it out like Linus.

WebP is basically the format used to store i-frames in WebM/VPx videos. Google acquired on2 technologies for this tech many years ago, and it was to stop W3C from standardising a patent encumbered codec like H.265. These were all well intentioned.

WebP / WebM has all been superceded by AV1 / AVIF anyway. It never really took off, and it's too late to start now.

If it leaves your device, you cannot control it.

It's maddening that my telco will negotiate a roaming rate on my behalf, and it's 100x worse than what a random dude in a supermarket can sell me.

That graph is trash. The baseline needs to be at zero.

Ironically, it's the innocent-looking white boxes that are hellspawn devices of pure evil that will wiretap your house, force you into a subscription service and have a 2-year planned obsolescence timebomb in it.

Meanwhile anything that resembles an arachnid will let you do whatever you want, support every imaginable open standard, and work with community firmware that will still be supported a decade later.

Imagine buying a piece of hardware and actually owning it.

How ironic. "Running out of other people's money" is a term that Trumpers use to describe communism.
