I think you mean pressing buttons in menus to teleport across the galaxy

He didn't call his list "the most complex games I enjoy". He called his list the 10 most complex games, which it absolutely isn't. You're ignoring the reality of what he published.

"Some of the average games that are a bit more complex" is a useless arbitrary list.

By your own criteria, that list had none of the games over 4.7 weight with more than 100 votes on bgg

Uhh, yeah the lawmakers kind of did. Laws affect everybody, so it makes sense for everybody to react and chime in with their opinion. Even if they are awful and almost nobody agrees.

None of these games are even remotely close to the most complex board games.

The campaign for North Africa is by far the most complex game, being as it was created specifically for that purpose and nobody has ever managed to even complete a singlr game of it.

Behind that are dozens and dozens of games in the 18xx genre, which is a giant cluster of rules from bespoke stock market operation details to complex route profit calculations to natural disasters and a million other things. Games can often take 8+ hours.

After that you have the entire hex and chit wargame genre, which will have tons of complex rules for combat, tables for looking up results, a million classes of units, and usually many rules that are included not even for game design purposes, but just for historical accuracy.

This is an awful click bait article just designed to get views for a more casual audience with popular well known games.

Disgusting, everybody has a right to privacy, privacy settings shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Because in all practical senses, windows is a virus.

Viruses at their core are programs which do things against your will on your own machine. Which is bad.

However, that is exactly what windows does. But like the boiling frog, people for some reason are okay with more bullshit from Microsoft and less control of their own devices with every passing update and year.

Complaining on ~~reddit~~ social media does nothing. Switching to Linux gives you back control and will be better for everyone in the long run.

No, I'm thinking about the port. Which is what we are talking about. Usb-c, usb-pd, thunderbolt, etc, all use the same port. I can use the same cable in the same port for all of these.

This is like saying teachers are banned from using trojan brand condoms at work.

  1. This is just one of many apps that could be a problem, banning one solves nothing
  2. The entire category of social media apps has no place on a work device (except if you are in marketing)
  3. If it's not a work related app, it shouldn't be on the work device full stop. Idgaf if it's fucking Google sheets, if you're not using it for work purposes it doesn't belong there

This new law is like 3 levels of abstraction away from actually addressing any problem, and likely wasn't a problem in the first place for any competent organization.

That's not the question

The post you replied to was saying, "shouldn't it be inherent to the entry on the Blockchain, regardless of market"

USB has gotten more complicated and does way more now in more contexts. It charges laptops now, it carries multiplexed displayport signals, it does its own handshake and performs hardware level initialization protocols.

Meanwhile we've been wanting the same thing out of wifi since the start. Nothing's really changed, we just want it to go faster.
