Thought something was weird here. The contrast and colour is making it difficult. If you turn up shadows it changes the entire feeling, including where the obvious light source is. I wouldn't expect the dark side of the mattress unless there was a bright light directly above it.
Also the banister/handrail arm wouldn't be horizontal. Most importantly, congrats, you got me invested.
If they ever discover their cousin the ostrich we won't survive the next war
Yeah he either doesn't understand the process and hasnt decided to work out what's happening, or he's intentionally deceptive. Either way, I think it's very stereotypical American thinking to presume everything is binary and no nuanced conversations can happen. "You asserted a thing, but didn't specify x while doing so, therefore you're against x". It's letting perfect be the enemy of good.
Another thing is that law can and should be left open to interpretation in many cases. That's not always the best thing, see financial law etc, but you can't set up a framework for every scenario. However, you can define a list of obvious things and if someone does something against the spirit of the law, it can be amended and/or someone can prosecute to further define. Laws can be changed and judges make rulings that set precedent.
Idk, I'm coming into this late but it's arguing in bad faith so im frustrated.
Yeah, at my work we have a legal department who does all the lawyer writing, but as a cyber analyst I have to do analyst writing. We don't conflate the two, I never write legal stuff and would never try. They don't pretend to understand technical stuff and wouldn't bother trying. No random youtuber would be capable of writing law, except maybe legal eagle?
I had a think about some of the 'licensed content has to go away after x years' which he talked about with the cars in the Crew. Before live service was possible, there were similar deals to put content in games. Think GTA etc. What licensing model was used there and why can't it be used today. His arguments assume you know nothing about the industry and take things at face value. They also assume that it's a binary situation. Not a fan of that kind of thinking personally.
What'd Pirate do?
Edit: search terms were 'pirate software kill games' and found a pretty good article. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/esports/news/what-is-going-on-with-pirate-software-and-stop-killing-games/articleshow/122207917.cms
From watching the first 5 minutes of the first video: Thor is saying game developers can't be forced to share their server code with gamers, even though Valve does it. Terrible argument. It's a solved problem, also it has to be distributable so they can manage servers across the planet.
Edit 2: "We might miss out on some cool games that we won't be otherwise able to have if live service is a removed practice" is a legitimate argument. Can games be reengineered so that this isn't the case? Should developers be forced into making it that way? I might watch some criticism videos after work. I think there's points on both sides but it seems really easy to clarify what Thor wants clarified. Personally I don't think what's on the SDK website would be what gets put into legislation but if he really wants it clarified that's easy.
That's not true, at 8 minutes he literally gets asked that exact question and responds no. Watch between 8 mins and 8:06 of the link you posted...
Was just going to say I prefer Nicole
Hey I really appreciate you taking the time. That's super well reasoned and I see the benefit of the approach. I'll have a think!
I like this idea, keep the old parts and reuse for something. I've always wanted a HTPC so maybe this gives me that in the future.
I definitely will look into used parts. Great idea
My first question is storage, how much do they come with and how easy is that to upgrade? Cos my pc is a tower I can easily upgrade by adding bigger drives and I've got like 3 full size drive bays plus some smaller ssd holder things. Point is I'm a little space conscious and while I'm happy to investigate, I've got space in my pc for any extra storage requirements.
Okta. We're looking at replacing AD with it.
