I don’t really either. Once it gets fast enough it’ll be common, but we can do really good approximations right now.

The thing that really hurts HL2 in terms of looking less dated is the old low-poly BSP geometry. Modern games and engines use landscapes and models because they can do it fast enough now. But I don’t think Source can handle that level of detail.

Yeah. They said they didn’t want Google to do anything without paying, so Google is removing them. Is that not what they wanted?

Looks like it’s been down since January. Do you think people are still trying it?

I’m confused. They said if Google wants to use it, they have to pay, so Google went to remove it, and now they’re saying Google can’t remove it?

Well, except for the people that are dead from his actions. For example, the ~461,000 people who died from COVID due to him making every wrong decision. For those people, it doesn’t go on. Because they’re dead.

This isn’t them getting into your data.

Some protocols, like ICMP, don’t have the concept of ports at all!

Even a mildly complex state machine is AI.

Four years ago was during COVID.

Also it’ll be running windows, so it’ll be rife with vulnerabilities and need constant security fixes.

Fun fact, Gabe left Microsoft to found Valve. Pretty sure a few other early Valve employees were also from Microsoft.

Root and use something like Tasker or Automate

No. All the knobs are in roughly the same area, so you can find and manipulate them by touch without looking.

Yeah I don’t know what their deal is. 90% of their comments are basically just “corpo bootlicker clown pleb 🤡” word salad with emoji dressing.

Bitlocker doesn’t mean anything when you delete its partition.

I would recommend keeping secure boot enabled if your OS supports it, and manually enrolling the key if it doesn’t. Boot chain attacks are a real concern.

Disabling secure key storage is a weird hill to die on but ok

Yes, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Every day, attackers develop new methods to compromise your system. Those updates fix the vulnerabilities. In this increasingly connected age, those fixes are critical.

Oh if they don’t even have support, yeah I would have moved away a long time ago.

Oh I thought you meant it just doesn’t reply to DDNS updates. If it doesn’t even reply to DNS queries, yeah that’s a big issue. What did their support have to say about it?

Makes sense. It’s not conclusive, but this user did make a post with a line like “here’s a breakdown you can post to reddit” until I pointed it out.

Not that it matters in this case, because they’ve already deleted their account.
