Meanwhile client software just randomly hangs for multiple seconds and we're all used to it. You could fit 5 backdoors into Discord or Visual Studio startup and nobody would notice
Plans to literally "hack the planet" foiled due to 500ms of latency that Andres instinctually investigated.
The latency was due how the malicious code parsed symbol tables in memory.
I'm begging you, someone in Xbox marketing, anyone, please stop doing this. No one can understand you. No one should even understand you because you make no sense
Someone tagged literally every person with access to the Unreal Engine github repo in a spam PR and it's generating so many emails per comment (upwards of 380k) that the notification emails are like 15 minutes behind
ah cool Infinite Seinfeld or whatever was developed seriously by true believers who think it's the future of entertainment instead of as a hilariously bad/weird thing
This is only true because the Chrome team in particular has decided to make it true. Old websites used to work until you decided it was okay to repeatedly break things that worked for a decade because you think everything can be rewritten or abandoned like a Google product
Cygames gave away the equivalent of like $1500 USD in gacha pulls last month and still made bank because it turns out one way to get people to spend unholy amounts of money is to give them stuff for free
@inertmaterials
Here’s Cygames revenue for the month of December and January. Belial being released on the last day of December slightly affected the month as well
I can't believe people at Riot thought "pretend to be a shitty virus scanner and block apps randomly" was the correct answer instead of "disable playing the game until you reboot"
Like holy shit is this a video game or an enterprise asset control system
<cygames> it's summer have free 10-pulls every day also some of you will win sushi
<cygames> we banned 1500 people, here's a free 10-pull
<cygames> it's saturday fellas here's a 10-pull
<cygames> i just got engaged here's a 10-pull and an invitation
I created a helpful guide to unlocking the new 5* Eternals skin in Granblue Fantasy. Hopefully this will clear up any confusion and help people understand the simple process for getting it.
The guide is slightly long so you'll have to zoom in.

"poorly done" is an interesting way to describe "someone took an ancient win32 hackjob port of a PS1 game and not only ported it to new consoles but did a bunch of hacks on it to swap in new models/textures and do a bunch of other stuff"
It's mildly depressing that the latest CPUs and GPUs are designed to just devour unnecessary amounts of power in order to reach slightly higher clocks and performance, when they perform great at much lower power targets.
Shitting on the environment and power bills for numbers
If you were wondering how Machine Translation is going, Google Translate now translates the japanese word for "older sister" to the romanization of the *korean* word for older sister, instead of the english term "older sister"
More "anti-circumvention" horseshit. Big rightsholders won't stop until general-purpose computers are illegal and we're only allowed to own neutered iphones and game consoles
NEW: Nintendo is suing the creators of popular Switch emulator Yuzu, saying their tech illegally circumvents Nintendo's software encryption and facilitates piracy.
Seeks damages for alleged violations and a shutdown of the emulator.
The hilarious part is that the internet archive operates like an actual library - not piracy - and is legally recognized as one in California. It also has had an exemption from certain copyright laws for over a decade (from the US Library of Congress)
It really is just infuriating that it turns out in retrospect more than one Google employee intentionally sabotaged the JavaScript spec process in order to support the company's agenda of shoving untrusted advertiser content+scripts into end users' browsers
Google always had really lax access control on internal documents, bugs, mailing lists etc which at this point is very useful as a way to provide an excuse for firing any and every union organizer
Yes, you had access to read that document, but were you AUTHORIZED? You were not
Latest update: Someone (the same person?) realized that GitHub lets any user upload images into issue comments and descriptions, so there's another one of these now with goatse in it. Good thing you can unsubscribe from notifications without viewing an issue or PR (you can't)
Very cool and normal that Google appears to have rolled out a new image compression algorithm without proper testing and inflicted massive damage on people's photo libraries
Hopefully they still have the old files!
@YitziLitt
china has probably the only regulatory agency on the planet that is taking the harm inflicted by gacha and gambling games seriously. though there are uh, other problems,
Wow, of *course* the story of the spider-man proposal easter egg turned into harassment mobs going after the girl and now they're having to argue the exact history of their previous relationship in public through interviews w/non-games news outlets
Fuck gamers
something of note about the middle one is that the motions are more exaggerated, which would improve legibility a lot when playing at low-res (like 480p/720p) or on a small screen. these artistic choices often are informed by technical constraints
Pretty ghoulish to see a software security researcher reported a "bug" against Firefox that was actually an impediment to an exploit they were working on, and didn't disclose the exploit even though fixing the bug would've put users at risk! Very cool!
fun, we're upgrading from "ML researchers harvest artists' work uncompensated" to "ML researchers harvest artists' work uncompensated, then the hand it to random strangers and tell them it's original and they can sell it"
Did not expect this: "Starting today, users get full usage rights to commercialize the images they create with DALL·E, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise. This includes images they generated during the research preview."
"Millennials don't read books" sure buddy, I'm playing Nier and Arknights and Girls' Frontline right now and those are all like 50% text, 30% repetitive gameplay, and 20% gay headcanon
"hey my machine keeps bluescreening"
<me> ok, turn on driver verifier and then send me the .dmp file
"ok here it is"
<me> oh cool it's
@riotgames
Vanguard rootkit failing driver validation even though you're not playing league or valorant
the consolidation continues. soon all franchises will be owned by one company and that company will refuse to sell media to you unless you live in New York
We are excited to join our peers at Sony and Funimation.
There are many questions we can’t answer yet, but we’re excited by the prospect of this combination.
This rules because the rideshare companies either have to admit they can afford to pay drivers a living wage and aren't doing it, or they have to admit they're fundamentally unsustainable and pull out of NYC
Breaking: In a big win for Uber and Lyft drivers, the New York City Council voted today to establish a $17.22-an-hour minimum wage after expenses ($26.51 per hour gross) for app-based drivers.
1. NEW: Facebook announced today it is cracking down on three types of groups:
- QAnon
- Militias
- Anti-fascists
The company says the goal is to limit the reach of groups that have “demonstrated significant risks to public safety.”
A thread. 👇👇👇

When one dude sets government agendas and has veto powers it is pretty reasonable to pin the effects of policy and law changes on the fact that he was elected
As if we didn't know already, Apple's legal counsel now making it blatant that they think "offensive" or sexual content should not exist in any app store. Do they think it should exist at all? History suggests perhaps not
Apple's legal team is 100% all-in on "people shouldn't be able to look at pornography on a computer", apparently them going after Itch on the "it has pornography" basis was not a fluke and aligns with their official stance
Mickens says yes — you could have a system where Apple would have full control over which third-party stores’ apps can be installed, or one where Apple has no say at all. There’s a “variety of different approaches” to locking down content like pornography.
Is it any surprise that the browser vendor without a long term support channel is also the one that constantly breaks websites by pushing poorly-tested changes to "stable" and deciding it's okay to break standards compliant code as long as it doesn't impact their services?
Conveniently this does not address the scenario of "the author is inactive but thousands of people consult their docs every day". I bet they don't care and will delete all those docs anyway. Anyone who ever used Google Docs for something important was a fool
Starting June 1st, 2021 Google will delete docs from 2-yr inactive accounts.
I hope the owners of frame data spreadsheets, character primers, and other fighting game tech are responsible enough to back up this info in other websites or wikis.

How can you think this is a rebrand when every single one of them so far has had "Xbox" at the beginning just like the new one? Is this just the work of consultants operating in a clean room, firewalled off from any knowledge of what an "xbox" is and what video games are?
@hachx0
yeah it's a huge ongoing liability to have on your balance sheets especially since the cn government has the ability to go after you if they feel like it even if you 'declared bankruptcy'
Cool let's just bake the massive fucking dumb-ass mistake that is fork() into the next 20 years of application development, what could go wrong. We already decided to keep null pointers and make them worse, so why not bring fork along
