At some point everything seemed to use Havok, due to that I personally don’t really have a strong association between Havok and Bethesda games in specific. Just take a look at this (incomplete) list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_games_using_Havok.
Your comment does make me wonder if the Oblivion remaster kept the Bethesda physics jank, Oblivion wouldn’t be the same if clutter on the table doesn’t start flying the moment you pick up a fork. 😂
It can be contained using magnetic fields, that has been possible since 2010: https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2010/11/17/antimatter-atoms/
Scientists are even preparing to transport it in the near future: https://glassalmanac.com/why-scientists-are-transporting-antimatter-in-a-van-uncover-the-reasons/
If only he skipped Daylight.
Our agrarian sector is indeed not known for its progressive outlook, so I’m not surprised.
Currently nitrogen deposition is a big issue as it fucks up local plantlife. Their lobby has been downplaying this problem since it became known in the fucking 80’s, hindering every political attempt to take action.
Now that the point has been reached where action needs to be taken they are all Pickachu-faced and shouting “how did this happen, it’s the fault of the leftwing treehuggers”. No, fuck the farming lobby in particular for kicking that can down the lane for 40 years.
Blissfully ignoring the consequences of adverse actions and acting as if nothing bad will come out of it is fully ingrained in their thought process.
Thanks, I hadn’t come across the term, TIL.
Vibe… what now? Is that like coding in all caps when you’re pissed off or in a bastardised flavour of “CaMel CaSe” for those moments you want some spice things up with some sarcasm?
Why is he figuring things out himself? Surely that’s the AI’s job, right? Right?
And although it isn’t LGBTQ+, it definitely looks mentally ill. Hopefully it will shed and slither back to whatever hole it came from.
Nah, it’s just hit or miss wether the freeze strikes or not. Can’t get closer to the thrill of real Russian roulette than this.
I let my password manager create 32 char passwords, that should be enough for a while. But of course then you have websites that throw you a ‘your password is too long’ message and have you find out by trial and error that they only accept 12 characters.
Or the off-by-one errors where they insist that 24 chars are the max, but in reality they accept 23. Probably never tested the limit.
Or websites that truncate your password after X characters when registering, but not when logging in, so you end up with an incorrect password and good luck finding out which limit the registration page actually uses.
but mysqli_real_escape_string() or any number of other similar solutions are indeed a thing that exists. A prepared statement would work, too.
You make it sound as if a prepared statement is a last resort. I would turn that around: as a rule always use prepared statements when dealing with user input. It’s very easy to forget a single call to mysqli_real_escape_string().
Ubuntu, the Nickelback of distros.
Ah, so he’s going to stop posting there? Right?
Never uninstalled Unreal & Return to Na Pali. Once in a while it just beckons for a new playthrough. And the unforgettable soundtrack, still listen regularly to the original UMX files with XMPlay. 🤤
I’m fully aware, and I don’t even blame developers, especially indies, as I can completely understand their reasoning and commercial consideration. But from a user perspective I just see a store trying to buy market share and either forcing customers to wait a year or cave and use that store. Epic doesn’t fork over money to help developers, it does so to grab a piece of the pie and create value for shareholders.
Personally I prefer not buying or using platforms from companies whose policies I don’t agree with. I avoid Amazon for that reason, and Epic’s store is therefore also on my personal blacklist.
It’s a choice I’m allowed and willing to make. Of course you are free to disagree and by all means, do whatever you feel is right.
Ubisoft pulled something like that with Anno 1800. If you pre-ordered it on Steam it was possible to install and play it, as it was only delisted but not removed entirely. Buying the DLC was a bit of a pain as you couldn’t search Steam for it, you had to dig up the direct Steam Store link from one of the official posts on the Ubi forum. It wasn’t ideal, but at least they had the sense to make everything available immediately on Steam for those that already bought the game there.
And make sure to avoid stores that actively promote the store exclusives concept, even for stuff that isn’t an exclusive (anymore). They don’t deserve our money. Looking at you Epic.
It turns out it is toxic to humans in large doses, but despite that it is still widely used by industry because it is such a cheap, abundant and potent solvent.
This could be shorted to if your device has no driver it wont work which is obviously true.
What I tried to tell is that if you have to rely on community driver projects, don’t expect fun times, at least not when it comes to Realtek in my recent experience.
If you have very recent hardware and you find it doesn’t work out of the box on stable options the easiest thing to do is install a more recent kernel.
I already had the latest available kernel at the time, as in: the very latest officially released kernel by kernel.org. Ubuntu was just a last-ditch effort as it will sometimes have drivers included that other distros might not have, normally I wouldn’t touch it with a ten-feet pole and go either Arch or Manjaro. The driver simply wasn’t included in the kernel. How do I know? Because I stumbled upon some discussions that mentioned the lack of support and 3 kernel releases later support for my card was specifically mentioned in the changelog.
Respectfully if DKMS wasn’t automatically kicking in then you configured it incorrectly. It’s a lot easier to just rely on a package that sets this up for you properly.
Yes, like a Realtek-XXXX-dkms package, which simply didn’t work. I’ve configured stuff for DKMS before, scripting stuff for Linux is part of my daily workload, so yeah, you don’t need to tell me scripting beats doing stuff manually.
The fact that getting an f*cking wifi card to work takes this much effort is what I meant with ‘not fun times’ and for me validates the meme, anecdotal as it might be.
Resorting to other distros, configuring additional repos so you can install a different kernel version, having to try different community projects to see which gives you a working driver, having to deal with getting DKMS to work, this is all stuff which hampers Linux adoptment. And without more adoptment we won’t have to expect more support from manufacturers for desktop related consumer hardware. So yeah, that does make me cry a bit. It’s a catch-22 unfortunately.
I’m so glad crap like that isn’t valid in the EU.
