Bans should definitely not come with refunds.
It's also not on Valve. If you inject code in an actual competitive multiplayer game, you deserve to be banned. The fact that your hardware manufacturer elected to do so means Valve is going to change it, but they didn't do anything wrong, and their tools didn't fail.
The computers they have are old because they work perfectly fine.
Until they're no longer secure, because Windows stops supporting them with security updates.
They probably don’t pay for licensing
Based on what? They aren't magically exempt because they're a library. Licensing costs are a huge part of a library's expenses.
No, it's caused by AMD deciding hijacking CS's execution was acceptable.
It's more standard than standard that you can't do that in a competitive game.
You know copyright is literally exclusively about completed work or direct copies of some meaningful portion of a completed work?
Even if you could own a genre, (which is absolutely not the case), it would not be copyright infringement. It would be some other type of IP theft.
lol calling it 1% of the way to AGI is probably delusionally generous. It has effectively nothing in common with it.
IDK how you block it when it probably doesn't even make Microsoft the leader in the console space.
If you inject code, they ban you. Seems pretty straight forward.
They said they'll unban when they can identify them correctly, but it's not their fault.
They're real. I have a Boox Max 3. The Poke is the small one (6") they make. The name is playing on pocket, I'm assuming. The 6" I ended up getting as a pocket option instead (because it was silly cheap for having color) is basically the same size as my iPhone 13 Pro Max (thinner but wider, and way lighter), so you can comfortably throw it in a jeans pocket.
I came within a click or two of buying the poke, but you need bigger for the pen layer.
I'm all for the fun aspect, and would love better panel availability. I will definitely look closer at some future point to explore projects for some of my pis.
IDK. Building your own is cool in theory, but there are a bunch of options that aren't that bad price wise that run Android.
The issue is that they're made by random Chinese companies and the software support is of varying quality. A focused community effort to support an Android build explicitly for readers and to hack their way to being installable on as many as possible seems like a better plan.
I have two (13" boox max 3, 6 inch reinkstone r1 that I just grabbed because it was $140 with color) and even with the mediocre software support the reading experience is pretty decent.
Most libraries I'm aware of also have kiosks set up with their catalogue information. That's probably what gems thinking of.
