I wonder if it was still ongoing after 404 published that article 😬

No. It doesn’t.

Fuck, don’t remind me.

autosears

Autosears themselves are not actually regulated. It’s the action of fully automatic fire that is. Which is kind of ridiculous because it’s not terribly uncommon to have a gun do it by accident on worn out parts.

Yes

Oh, I was like “StarCraft 2 came out years ago”

It does not “use” AOSP, it’s built on AOSP, like every Android device.

AOSP is like the foundation of any Android OS.

so many posts have the title ‘rival devices’ supporting Steam OS and I just have to wonder…is that what they really think?

Haha yeah I’ve been saying that for a while. These devices are all going to be used to spend money on Steam and Valve couldn’t care less which one you buy.

Oh I meant more of the SteamOS officially supporting other devices.

tl;dr printers got cheaper

The components aren’t traceable either. They don’t have serial numbers on them. Typically only the lower receiver does. This is why that’s the part that’s typically 3D-printed.

Picked a bad week to take off of Steam Deck news!

Aside from not loving Google and MS being their examples (although I can see why they are used – the most popular are just so for a reason)

The only reason is brand name recognition.

They’re rootkits. They have root-level access. You can’t emulate that.

Jeremy Hunt knows what’s up

SC?

Exactly

They refer to Sony’s ToS:

If SIE Inc determines that you have violated this Agreement’s terms, SIE Inc may itself or may procure the taking of any action to protect its interests such as disabling access to or use of some or all System Software, disabling use of this PS5 system online or offline, termination of your access to PlayStation Network, denial of any warranty, repair or other services provided for your PS5 system, implementation of automatic or mandatory updates or devices intended to discontinue unauthorized use, or reliance on any other remedial efforts as reasonably necessary to prevent the use of modified or unpermitted use of System Software.

Although I’ve never heard of any reports of that, and I’d love to see it tested in a courtroom. Deliberately bricking someone else’s hardware because YOU believe for some reason that they’re not using it properly is on a whole other level than just disabling online accounts. It’s vindictive.

That’s why the first thing I do when I buy a new game is to turn off the internet and boot the game. If it doesn’t boot or work offline, I refund it. And I just don’t buy games that have Denuvo.

I didn’t think anybody was going to fix this because the defective component is actually part of the graphics card but just attaching a giant heatsink to the connector is the most ridiculous and ingenious solution no one should have to make.
