Might be a bit offtopic, but as for this guy who is currently wrench holder number 1:

That guy's a hacker. He used to friend me earlier this year, he entered our community's servers and signed up as an admin. Shortly after they first suspended his admin rights, then banned him for hacking. Following that, he begins impersonating a player in my community (5e) for some time and continues to do so. After being banned from our servers for a while he came back out of the blue to accuse this guy he's impersonating of airblast hacking. Then after being virtually mocked out of the community for stirring up BS, he returns to gloat about him being the first to grab a wrench.

For starters:

Now back on topic: As for the other guys, 'grats to them... if they were legitimate. Another one might have been owned by a hacker too. Not sure if the wrenches will stick; I overheard someone in-game say that Valve will remove them.

The only thing we know about the wrenches, is that there was a bug when they were given out (i.e. most of the people have Wrench No. 1, one guy has Wrench No. 2 and another Wrench No. 3) I can see the numbers being fixed, not having the items taken away. Valve doesn't punish players for their item mistakes (like when the server craps out and gives everybody hats every few seconds)

Most of the responses to the wrenches I've seen, is along the lines of "That's awesome, I'll idle to try to get one". They seem to be so rare that people don't have any hope at all of getting one unless they idle (10 people a day get one, there are thousands of people playing every day)

How pointless. Why can't they just get on to the actual content of the update instead of messing around with this? The real content is months overdue.

I'm just grateful we get any extra content at all, and even better than that, it's free. I don't really mind how much time it takes them, I've already accepted Valve and their weird time system :p

Valve has no obligation to do these updates. You should be grateful that they are.

It's not so much that i'm not grateful. It's just that it's been nearly 7 months(and will be 7 months by the time it hits) since the last update. And if they have more than like 3 people working on it(and i'd think they would), it really shouldn't take that long to make 3 new items, put together a new map or two, and then throw in a couple maps made by the community as per usual.

It says 75 will be found through crafting... how do you craft it, I wonder?

Valve employees generally work across titles. Robin Walker (the man behind Team Fortress 2), for instance, was the project lead for Episode One. The entire Team Fortress 2 team helped the Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 teams as well. I don't think they've ever said how many people are working on Team Fortress 2 continuously, but it isn't much based off of what they've said.

I always feel like this for a while when Valve teases updates.

Then I take a minute to think about Valve's undying enthusiasm for this game and how far they've extended it since it's release at absolutely no charge to the user...unlike a certain developer I know. *cough*Infinity Ward*cough*

Valve time is something we all are forced to accept to at one time or another. :p

Revenge crits = awesome! Get some revenge at spies harassing my sentry. :p

However, it might seem a bit overpowered when a guy who built their sentry in a good choke point racks up dozens of kills, gets their sentry blown up, and then pairs up with a uber medic and starts killing just about everyone.

So Uber Engineer is now a valid tactic? WIN.

Okay, so I found a site that claims you can craft the Golden Wrench. Here's the recipe: Class Token (Engineer) + Slot Token (Melee) + Scrap Metal = Golden Wrench

My problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to create an Engineer Class Token. Anyone know how?

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
