Your comparison between phones and VR/AR is reasonable but a bit different as when windows phones were discontinued, Microsoft had pretty much lost the phone os race. Also the windows phones sucked, I’ve used them…

IMO microsoft gave vr/ar a fair chance. They might have been early, but if we are eg. a full decade off must buy VR, then it might not be worth waiting.

There goes another “red line” without any meaningful response from russia.

To OP: this is a much clearer & better explanation for what I was trying to say.

This is an imperfect analogy, but think of updating between Windows 10 and 11 versus installing updates on windows 10 or win 11.

I have no experience with Fedora, but AFAIK at least in Ubuntu/Debian land, updates are installed from OS version specific package repositories. When the version of the OS is no longer supported, those repositories might not receive updates anymore.

EDIT: this is the main reason I have a rolling release distro on most of my personal machines. The package repos have the newest packages without having to update my OS major version every now and then.

I found steamdb.info. According to them Godot seems to be growing steadily.

If you want a small phone, then look for rugged ones. There are a lot of options with screen sizes all the way down to sub 4". Finding one with android 12 or 13 might take some work, but they are out there.

After watching the video the main thought I have in my mind is that the whole issue could have been subverted by building two sets of executables. One with DRM and one without. The DRM free version could then be stored for potential future use. That way you wouldn’t have to necessarily maintain the build environment.

Obviously this wouldn’t have occurred to me if I was building the game, but I hope the companies learned as soon as they ran across the issue the first time.

I sure hope none of those cracks were licensed in a way that would cause trouble for unauthorized commercial use 🤷

I guess that could be explained with the giant ego. Due to being so smart, he understands the situation better than the mainstream media. The easiest opposing view to latch onto would then be Russian propaganda.

EDIT: I have several friends who are also smart, and as such must question all msm news. As a result their worldview is left with a void that is usually filled with more fringe opinions.

I’d guess that if he was an agent, he isn’t acting voluntarily. Instead he’s probably influenced by chinese and saudi money.

Another simpler, but just as plausible explanation could be that he’s basically a human with a giant ego that bounces from one incident to another. None of this seems very planned. Instead he seems to be acting on a whim.

Do they also have a nonexistent budget?

Seems like hollywood. Dangling career opportunities as a reward for constenting to unwanted advances etc.

Their government has been trying to keep the issue of aid in the public interest for a reason. Sometimes they might go too far, but I think people underestimate the fear a country would experience if they were highly dependent on outside help. Especially if it wasn’t guaranteed to continue due to changes in the political leadership in the other countries.

As always the headline is somewhat misleading.

It would be hard to argue that this was unjustified escalation by NATO. At the same time it would signal that Russian escalation would be met with a proportional response from NATO.

Since 2014, Crimea has been problematic to Russia for various reasons, in particular due to needing an outside source of fresh water

The only issue that during the escalation Russia has blown up the dam that provides said drinking water to crimea. I think you already kinda implied this already in your comment.

The leader of meal team 6?

When I did play foss games, I played battle for wesnoth, teeworlds, minetest, super tux csrt and openarena. Lsst one might be dead due to being a mainly multiplayer game.

This is what 3d printing really shines in. Churning out prototypes for minimum cost.

If you’re already familiar with blender, you would only need to learn how to use a slicer, which is not that hard in comparison. Just import the model and fiddle around with print settings if needed.

I came into 3d printing as a complete noob, and most of my time has been spent learning to do modeling in blender/cad. Slicing and printing itself is simple in comparison. Resin might be more involved.

Another fellow here who didn’t get into pokemon as a kid. I had a gameboy, but never got a pokemon game for some reason :/

For original entries in GBA/DS realm I’d play the third version (emerald & platinum). With remakes or gens without the third version, I wouldn’t stress too much about what to buy.

If you’re buying legit carts, then just get the one that you can find for a good price. Alternatively if a game has version exclusive pokemon that you really like, get that one.
