Doesn’t iFixit have all the components for the Steam Deck for sale on their site and have extensive tutorials available?

I don’t live in Florida (I’m a West Coaster), but there are two legal doctrines used for defensive force by a citizen: 'Stand Your Ground" laws (which mainly preside in the South and Midwest), and the “Castle Doctine” (Largely applicable to all states).

The Castle Doctrine applies mainly to your home or property - If someone is breaking into your home/business, you are granted legal permission to stop them through force, usually with the requirement that you provide an opportunity for the intruder to retreat first before escalating. IIRC there is an ongoing debate on if vehicles are included as a “Castle”.

The Stand Your Ground laws are usually based instead on wherever you have a legal right to be in - the street, a business, etc… and give you the right to engage in force against someone credibly threatening your life.

However, the obvious problem is that aspects of the Castle Doctrine (and the entirety of Stand Your Ground laws) are subjective in the “defender’s” judgement on whether a situation justifies force to resolve situations. People have been killed over ludicrously petty disputes and the consequences of the law are applied very unequally, so you have this disconnect of people feeling like they have Carte Blanche to shoot whoever they disagree with, those who fear for their lives because they could be shot at essentially any time of day anywhere with no repercussions, and those who can’t resolve their disputes using the laws because of discrimination.

I don’t live in a state that has Stand Your Ground or a full Castle Doctrine, so I can’t say for certain what things would be like in Florida, but I’m under the impression that they have both with minimal oversight.

(That takes place in florida tho so the joke doesn’t work as well)

As a Californian, I can confirm half the drivers here get their habits from playing too much GTA V.

Adnauseum covers the situation of how and why their solution at length in this research paper linked on their website if you’d like to get the meat and potatoes.

But to be brief, from my knowledge of how the software handles webpages (at least from my limited background as an Electrical Engineering student), the sandbox is only utilized to load enough resources to register the click to the advertising service by the website - you aren’t sent to the redirected site/content, and apart from the image of the ad being able to be seen from the vault in the extension, no external content is loaded. This is a safe way of handling things, especially since the sandbox is not granted access to the full privileges provided to you, the user.

I’m not sure which instance this is (since you didn’t include it in the email), but generally in all communities the rules can be found in the sidebar, like Reddit.

I use voyager on mobile, so I can just open the community, tap the menu button, than tap “sidebar” to read the sidebar. It may be a different process on other platforms, but the sidebar should still be there.

Wow, that’s one interesting comment history you got there. I’m guessing… Floridian?

Also, as someone who has family members who have worked with clients in the California prison system to make sure they get their rights exercised, we do have due process in this state, unlike your right-wing fantasies, MAGAt.

Go suck off Desantis, and while you’re at it, why not visit Alligator Auschwitz for some tourism of the “accomplishments” of your state.

Word of warning - you will have more bandwidth usage since the ad clicks are being loaded in the background sandbox, so be careful if you have something like a capped data plan for things such as smartphones.

If the site has pay-per-click ads, yes.

Cody (from AlternateHistoryHub) covered most of the states’ anthems in this video and even ranked them.

Spoilers: California gets S tier :)

Man, I love that California is my home. Fun fact by the way, we have our own state anthem, and it actually slaps

Although more people associate it with the NCR from Fallout: New Vegas than the actual state. But hey, something to aspire towards! :)

That as well. I was just mentioning how there is no monolithic “Valve Anti-Cheat”.

I swear I can only think of Pyro TF2 when I hear that phrase lol, the trailer is burned into my brain.

One solution to maintain Linux compatibility with good protections could be similar to what Embark Studios is doing with their games (The Finals, and Arc Raiders): Windows version gets Kernel-level anti-cheat and additional layers, Proton branch gets a user-level version of the anticheat instead.

Personally, I would argue that the majority of individual cheaters (who are seeking to undermine their opponents and win with minimal effort) are likely to be on Windows platforms where kernel-level protections would be most effective in detection. With an Embark-style dual solution - you can both catch the most cheaters and score W’s with the Linux community.

John McDonald (Key engineer behind VACnet) has offered to extend the service to other game developers, to the point of even publicly requesting partnerships at a GDC event.

Valve is intentionally vague about its anticheats, yes, but that is because each implementation is somewhat unique. TF2’s, for example, was almost cracked completely open through analysis of the source code leak alongside pattern detection of bots and previously banned players until recent events.

It’s believed that Dota and CS both have their own unique spin on how they do things, with I believe CS being the primary arm for VACnet to be tested on, and I would imagine it’s not a drop-in solution for any game developed outside of Valve. They are open to partnerships though, so who knows?

Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) is available to all developers using the Steam Platform, but it’s not particularly effective unless you apply personal tweaks or use it in conjunction with another anticheat system (such as sigh kernel level anticheats).

Many of the big PVP games on Steam employ this hybrid system, with some cheaters getting VAC’d and others receiving “Game bans” because of the different tools employed.

cat :3

Hey, Meal Team Six, take your gaslighting somewhere else. Newsom’s our governor, and if we want him out, we’ll fucking elect someone else.

I mean yeah, because the majority of sales are 1000% gonna come from the PS5 crowd, and I’d bet that most are not going to read reviews or news about rockstar beforehand.

PC might genuinely be impacted tho, especially if these layoffs translate to a more unstable game/unpolished jank.

Been on an indie buying spree on Steam, it’s awesome.
