Riot Games' Valorant is out June 2, will enable automatic cheater banning systems
matthiew and 4 others reacted to BoondockSaint for a topic
For anyone looking at this game, it's worth remembering that Riot Games is fully owned by the Chinese giant Tencent. This means the CCP can potentially request player data from Riot at any time, can monitor it and generally do as it pleases. That aside, their anti-cheat software (Vanguard) installs a driver at Ring 0, and is active the entire time your machine is running (not just when you play the game). Even if the ownership of Riot and potential resulting privacy issues don't worry you, a "game anti-cheat" driver running at the highest level of privilege on your system the entire time it is running should. Obviously read up on it and make up your own minds regarding this. Check some of the coverage about this on YT; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G1vKJ27-4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dOCtaBObg45 points -

Riot Games' Valorant is out June 2, will enable automatic cheater banning systems
dustojnikhummer and one other reacted to trag3dy for a topic
I don't play Valorant but full disclosure, they added the option to have it off when not playing, it just means you have to let it reboot your PC before you do play. So if you do chose to trust their system you don't have to have it scanning constantly while doing other things. As far as I'm aware you still have to manually turn it off. It doesn't close when you close the game. At any rate, I guess this is the lengths you have to go to when your game is f2p. Such an intrusive thing that can and will break any piece of software it deems vulnerable on a whim is not for me but maybe other people are into that.2 points -
T-Mobile launches free 5G for first responders, offers free iPhone SE to customers
excalpius and one other reacted to Mockingbird for a topic
>Additionally, as a way of thanking its customers, T-Mobile is offering a free iPhone SE with bill credits to Sprint and T-Mobile customers starting Friday, May 22 and until Monday, May 25. To get the new iPhone SE, you'll need to trade in your current device and pay the sales tax on the new phone, and either be on a T-Mobile or Sprint postpaid plan or switch to one, with no requirements to add additional lines. Are you sure that you don't need to add a line to be eligible for deal?2 points -

I wish this game had some sort of progression. I got bored of it before the first beta was over. I didn't hate the gameplay but it felt a little pointless without a goal to work towards. Not being able to customize my character's face/body didn't help either. Though I think that was changed.2 points -
Windows NT 3.5 and original Xbox source code leaks
Nas and one other reacted to IvxnFajardo for a topic
It can't and won't for various reasons, first being that right now they are targeting Windows Server 2003 compatibility (wich is waaay ahead of NT 3.5, and most importantly, because ReactOS can exist because the team writes its own code and uses some open source code, if they even look at that leaked code, let alone borrow some from it, then they will be on legal trouble and the project can shut down.2 points -

Doom Eternal's Denuvo anti-cheat implementation will be rolled back, id announces
RaulMR and one other reacted to farmeunit for a topic
Quake Champions is already ruined with all the cheating, seems they can't do anything right. That's true. Quake Champions is full of cheaters. But if you ruin the game with anticheats! what gives? In Portugal we have a saying: " If you don't die of the disease you die of the "cure"". Ruin the game with anticheat? What is being ruined? I agree if it causes the crashes or causes issues with legitimate players, but frankly I have no sympathy for people that cheat in games. One of the lower forms of humans. Same with Siege. Ruined by cheaters. Makes me not even want to play online, but I do still love the game. It's just frustrating.2 points -

Neonix1 reacted to BoondockSaint for a topic
Games like this easily suck in younger audiences. Parents think it's just another cartoony shooter and don't even think about what the software is doing in the background. Riot can throw all the slogans about how good their anti-cheat software is, but it amounts to a rootkit. Once installed, they can update it with any monitoring they deem fit and bury the notes in EULAs nobody reads. And even without that - all the data the game & current iteration of Vanguard collects is accessible to the Chinese government. You don't need a tinfoil hat to see how that is a very bad thing.1 point -

They have to focus on both because in many areas, both matter, especially on the low and mid tier of PC's and they know AMD is ramping up it's igpu performance so if Intel ignored that, it would make the Ryzen cpu's more appealing for more people, especially lower end user or mobile chips.1 point -

Phones have become just a new scam in my opinion. Not worth it. The new iPhone SE at $400 made the case perfect that a $1000 phone was just silly. Pretty much. Walk away with an iPhone SE, AirPods, Watch for $760... with 5 year support on the phone, flagship CPU, and devices that work well together. I'm about to get my grandmother setup for the heart monitoring finally. Too many close scares.1 point -

Mafia Trilogy includes a remake, a remaster, and a re-release
ThaCrip reacted to +E.Worm Jimmy for a topic
I don't know when you played it, but I got it on release. It was buggy as hell, you could sit down with the group of enemies in sight and they will magically unsee you. it was a joke to play. maybe they fixed it with patches, but by that time I lost interest and moved on. I am really looking forward to Mafia 1 though... Wonder if they keep that 1 race super hard, I think I spend over 5 hours to win 1 single race to move on... The first game was so good, I just kept on trying again and again. Nowadays, some games story takes only 5 hours. The race is not that hard. Just don't drive like a lunatic and use brakes. dustojnikhummer ; did you play it pre-patch? ; because after they patched the game the racing mission was a lot easier to win to where unless you suck at racing games you will comfortably win. but prior to the patch it takes many retries to where it's almost luck since you have to drive pretty much perfectly to win. thank you. I was wondering what was up. i was by far not the worst player in the room, but it took FOREVER to beat it. yes, of course i played the release version, i never had any patches applied.1 point -

Where exactly did the WHO say "no evidence of human to human transmission"? That goes against everything that I have read about COVID-19. They were saying that when it first started making the news in late Dec - Jan Source? A cherry-picked fragment of a tweet: https://www.truthorfiction.com...avirus-on-january-14-2020/" rel="external nofollow">https://www.truthorfiction.com...navirus-on-january-14-2020/ The WHO message was passing on a statement issued by the Chinese government. Placing the issue further in context of a novel pathogen: you start with a few sick people that share a group of symptoms. Run normal tests and normal treatments, then realize that the pathogen is new. Now you have a population with an unknown number of infected and you have to build new tests from scratch and demonstrate that they are accurate and effective (negligible false-positives, false-negatives). Once you have that, you can confirm patients that are infected, and start testing people that turn up in contact-tracing the initial patients. If you have a small patient pool and the contacts that turn up sick also share mutual potential sources of infection (for example they all are workers or visitors at a zoo) then you have to also deal with the possibility that the infection came from one or a few non-human sources. If provided a pure sample, a well-equipped academic research lab could probably kludge together a functional test kit in two weeks based on detection of nucleic acids. Antibody-based detection kits take longer to make from scratch. Getting through the process of proving clearly takes time without unethical measures, like taking a sick person and having them intentionally trying to infect healthy people. Not surprised.1 point -

Apple releases new Pride Edition sports bands for the Apple Watch
Skwerl reacted to dead.cell for a topic
"As usual, sales of these Pride Edition watch bands help support organizations that work for the LGBT community, including GLSEN, PFLAG, The Trevor project, and more." Isn't that more than Nike themselves ever did for the black community? I could be wrong, but they made a buncha money off Colin Kaepernick to sweep their sex scandals and sweat shops under the rug pretending to be "woke". Goes to show marketing works I guess. Anyway, I'm glad the white band looks at least decent than the blatant "throw a rainbow on it" strategy.1 point -
