Valve has wrapped the banhammer in tinsel, adding a lovely Christmassy flavour to their anti-smurfing actions. Players who have been banned for smurfing are finding a Highly Toxic Lump of Coal in their accounts, a ‘Seasonal Reward’.

I played this so much back then, started off on an m100 and eventually got a Zire71 for Christmas. I still have my dads old Tungsten T|X on the shelve, the last/newest palm©️ device i held in my hand. Man that TX had issues with the built in wifi. It has a 50:50 (or worse) chance to crash and reboot the device any time you turn the wifi on (or off or received or send data), such a shame and apparently there was a "firmware fix" but all it did was reduce the chance of it crashing, never eliminated it. Still though, palm devices are awesome and i have a lot of good memories playing some space trader at night in bed, in glorious m100 monochrome.

The physical copper wire connection in the plug and socket is not instant and as its wiggled around, breaking and making connection in quick succession, will likely cause voltage and amperage spikes which can damage components on the gpu. In the best case nothing happens and you have a black screen until you power cycle your pc. Worst case is a dead gpu core.

Going door to door in fresh air is something else than sitting in a room with lots of other people and "you'll be fine" is an insane argument. You'll be fine until you aren't. Every person should be able to make that risk assessment for themselves and courts should not be able to force someone to risk exposure to anything.

Bind9 is the industry standard [citation needed] nameserver. Takes a bit of time to get used to but it's very powerful. To make a nameserver authoritative for a domain name you would change the NS records with your domain provider, often they have an easy to change option in the web interface, and create a master zone with your desired records for that domain. NS records can only point to IPs though so if you have a dynamic home IP it will be difficult to stay reachable since TLD NS records usually have a long cache time. Some providers may also require you to provide at least 2 nameservers (for redundancy) as that's what's in the spec.

I guess they never tried to use the TatraTea teleport glitch

TL;DR: German Guy takes literal translation too literal, complains about it

Looks like a smear campaign at worst or an idiotic mistake at best

I think the poll is kind of pointless. Ask a gamer to pick between discord or matrix and discord will always win. Discord has been oriented towards gamers since its inception while Matrix provides a very specific niche of communications infrastructure that in no way integrates gamers except by virtue of being a chat platform. Matrix is objectively the better protocol if you're interested in safe, decentralised communication. Discord on the other hand has more features that gamers use. Different use cases, different expectations, different solutions 🤷‍♀️

There's no reason the matrix people (or some third party) couldn't build a product that's just like discord but bigger, better, etc, with the best of both worlds. But nobody has done it yet and it may take a long time until we get there.

I think the issue started with gpu-architecture tailored technologies like physx or gameworks but im probably wrong. For example I have nothing against physx but it only runs on nvidia cores natively (fast), i have an issue when there's a monetary incentive or exclusive partnering of nvidia and game studios - so if you want to play the game with all the features, bells and whistles, it was designed with you would need to also buy their overpriced (and current gen: underperforming) gpus just because you'd be missing out on features or performance on any other gpu architecture.

If this trend continues everybody will need a €1k+ gpu from nvidia and a €1k+ gpu from AMD and hot-swap between them depending on what game you wish to play.
