I’ve used govee stuff before and it absolutely did NOT require an account. Just the app. Are you sure you have that right?

You can’t do anything besides the usual precautions. I get a notice of a data breach in the mail like every 3 weeks from companies who got hacked. It’s fucking ridiculous. My social security number has probably been leaked like 900 times. All of ours has

All you can do is:

• change passwords
• use good passwords
• check your accounts frequently
• freeze your credit
• use 2FA with literally anything and everything
• try to limit the number of one off accounts you have to create (hard to do when every fucking thing requires a fucking account, i.e. PSN account to play fucking Sony SINGLE PLAYER GAMES on Steam)
• cross your fingers

There is definitely an anti firefox agenda on Lemmy. I can’t tell if it’s just people circlejerking FUD news or if it’s paid shills, but something is definitely going on. I’m about to unsub from these communities because it’s just constant bullshit.

I’ll try to respond below. Lemme know what you think:

Consoles:

Need to upgrade every 5-7 years if you want to play new games on next gen consoles. Can play your old games indefinitely.

PC:

Need to upgrade every 5-7 years if you want to play new games that are more demanding and require next gen parts. Can play your old games indefinitely.

In terms of playing new games on an old PC, try playing cyberpunk on a PC from 2013 (7 years prior to CP77 release in 2020). You’ll get like 2 fps. Not even playable.

So to conclude, sure, you can try to play new games on your old ass PC, but it’ll run like crap and won’t be a good experience.

Edit: just to clarify, my opinion is from the perspective of someone who wants to play new demanding games. If you play super easy to run new indie games, then yea I agree with your point. Added benefit of PC is the ability do that indefinitely.

True, but that’s just more of an added benefit of PC. I have to assume the vast majority of people who build PCs for games have the desire to play new games that come out. There may be a few people who build PCs with only the desire to play old games. But i don’t think that is the majority.

Plus if someone doesn’t want new games then they wouldn’t need or care to upgrade their console from one gen to a next. So i don’t think that’s relevant in this discussion.

That’s not really a good comparison. After 5-10 years you’re going to need a PC upgrade as well if you want to keep up with current game tech and run games at high settings. That can easily cost $700. Remember, consoles are usually mid-range computers.

Was there any controversy with Proton email? I remember hearing everyone shitting on it ywars ago. Did they do something to piss everyone off, but later fixed it?

Exactly.

Kodi isn’t for streaming from services like netflix and YouTube. It’s used to stream offline video files over the local network.

Thx for confirming! Sounds good.

You forgot to explain what this does?

Pihole is your friend.

Joke’s on them. I played Soma during Covid…

Fair enough. The real issue is when you play in HDR (via inverse tonemapping) on an OLED. It’s just missing sooooo much shadow detail. It’s a well known issue that they never fixed and probably will never fix unfortunately. I’ve been experimenting with ways to recover the shadow detail using reshade add-ons, but so far no luck :-(.

If you take a screenshot in horizons and then take the same screenshot in odyssey, you’ll see that blacks are crushed to absolute shit in odyssey. You can even raise gamma to max and you still will not recover that shadow detail. The devs clipped it. They tonemapped the game incorrectly. It becomes blatantly obvious when you play this game on an oled screen haha.

I.e., take screenshot in horizons where tjere is a large shadow or no light hitting a part of your ship. Replicate it in Odyssey. It’ll be obvious. Or try raising gamma to max and you’ll see that zero shadow detail is recovered.

Also idk if you’re familiar with reshade, but if you google and install Lilium’s HDR shaders, it makes it even easier to see how crushed shadows are. It shows you a waveform visual that maps brightness. (Graph works in sdr as well as hdr)

Did they fix the absurd black crush in Odyssey?

Half-Life 2 mods

Is it just me or does this article just run on and on without actually proving whatsoever that these jobs were lost to AI?

They even acknowledge that these layoffs are mainly due to over-hiring during the pandemic. I see no concrete proof that AI had anything to do with this. Just speculation.

Does anyone else agree? Perhaps I missed something?
