There’s an easy mod to uncap fps, it works. There’s a mod for ultra wide, it works.

It’s not an engine limitation, you can already play like this with mods. But you can’t play online because of changing the files…

No ultrawide support, no DLSS, no removed fps cap, no precompiled shaders to remove the stutter, …

From makes good games, but when it comes to technology they either suck or are just lazy as hell.

The biggest joke is that ultrawide already renders the full screen width, they just put black bars on top to not give the player an advantage, lol.

Well, there’s modern C++ and it looks reasonable, so you start to think: This isn’t so bad, I can work with that.

Then you join a company and you find out: They do have modern C++ code, but also half a million lines of older code that’s not in the same style. So there’s 5 different ways to do things and just getting a simple string suddenly has you casting classes and calling functions you have no clue about. And there’s a ton of different ways to shoot your foot off without warning.

After going to C# I haven’t looked back.

I still remember 10 years ago when I was driving on the Autobahn at 130 km/h and a juicy bug hit the windshield. It was literally a loud splat. Besides the grill always being covered in bugs.

Hasn’t happened since, nowadays I can count the number of bugs on the grill with one hand. And that’s after months of driving.

As I said in another comment: The up-front payment is the only thing that makes sense for Cloudflare. You got a customer that’s costing you money each month. They broke ToS. You offer them a deal still to keep the services running. And their CEO/CFO tells you they are looking at other providers like Fastly.

If Cloudflare gave them a monthly contract then the casino would simply pay for a month and switch over their services to a competitor in that time. So Cloudflare loses all the money from the past (where the casino used far too much traffic) and will barely recoup 10k (minus the running cost, so more likely 7k at the high end) for a single month. It’s just not worth it.

So they offer: Stick with us for a full year at least or get fucked. Which is fair.

Is there? The casino is on a cheap $250 a month plan they don’t belong on and they broke ToS with the domains. While also costing Cloudflare money each month (as the casino admits themselves, their traffic alone is worth up to $2000 a month).

It’s absolutely in the right of Cloudflare to drop a customer that’s bothersome. Casinos usually are (regulations, going around country restrictions), them costing them money on top is a massive issue.

120k a year is a big slap of course, but it’s probably the amount Cloudflare would want to keep them on as a customer. If they leave, so be it.

I’ve seen it several times before at companies I worked at. They cheaped out and went with a tiny service plan to coast by. Or even broke ToS because it would be cheaper. That usually got stopped by plans getting dropped (GitLab Bronze for example), cheap plans getting limited, or the sales team sending a ‘friendly’ message that we’re abusing their plan and how we’re going to fix it. If you don’t play along at that point you’re going to get the hammer dropped on you.

It also wasn’t 24h as the title says, the first communication happened in April. At that point they should have started to scramble, either upgrading to a bigger tier immediately or switching providers. And it’s totally normal to go to the sales team when you break the ToS of your plan or you abuse a smaller plan. They’re going to discuss terms, it’s not a technical issue.

Edit: And I should also say, the whole “paying for a whole year is extortion” is bullshit too. Their CFO or CEO told Cloudflare they are looking at switching providers (as they looked at Fastly). So of fucking course Cloudflare is going to demand a full year upfront. Otherwise the casino could pay for a single month and during that month they switch away to another provider. So Cloudflare would still be thousands in the red with that ex-customer after they used so much traffic the last few years.

I already can’t hit the song selection forward/backward button consistently while the wheel is turned. Especially in a roundabout where I always indicate on exit. I don’t have to try it, steering wheel buttons for driving functions fucking suck.

Besides not wanting to buy a product from Musk buying a Tesla simply isn’t an option.

On the newest Model 3 they removed the stalks, I don’t want to press a button on a steering wheel to use the blinker (Doing that in a roundabout sounds like a nightmare).

Besides that Musk seems to think he can do whatever he wants with OTA updates. I wouldn’t want to buy a car that might have some function changed or disabled the next time I’m using it.

Plenty of other manufacturers at this point to choose from.

No, it’s not. Most people, even in the US, can easily use the range. You don’t go to a cross country roadtrip every day.

You drive to work, go grocery shopping, drive home and that’s usually it. A range of 400km+ with new EVs is easily enough. Or do you drive to the gas station every 2 days with your current car?

And even if you go on a roadtrip, after driving for 4 hours you might want to take a break anyway.

You do realize there is no data available for the future? We aren’t there yet.

You do realize most people charge at home? It doesn’t matter how long it takes when the car is just sitting there (you’ll even save time compared to driving to the gas station).

Manufacturers also give 7+ years warranty on batteries by now, but even after 10 years a battery doesn’t just break, you only lose a few percent of range (if this wasn’t already calculated into the buffer, depends on the car).

You do know EV sales stall because of that, right?

In what fantasy world are you living? EVs just hit an all-times sales record last year. This is for the US, but it’s similar all over the world:

Right now I could buy an EV with 520km range for 36k€. It’s rapidly getting better.

Unfortunately it’s pretty much just a label change and a price increase, not an actual 1.0 update :-/

Are we? There’s still plenty of space for solar and wind. Including large battery installations for cities. It doesn’t really feel like we’re hitting a limit there anytime soon.

I’m getting mine probably this year, you can be damn sure I’m going to disclose that on my dating profile.

Weeds out all the women who want to have kids and it’s a huge plus for the rest.

A lot less fun, much lower chance of success and it costs thousands. If you’re not 100% sure you don’t want kids then don’t get snipped.

I’m 33 now, no kids, planning to get my vasectomy this year. But I’m not planning on reversing that :)

Yeah, it’s tough. Cleaning itself doesn’t take very long and is easy, but starting with it is the difficult part. And no matter how often you do it, it always needs to be done again!

Add on top that there’s no direct punishment as long as nobody comes over (besides my own annoyance and things being dirty) and it’s procrastination city :-/

Or just don’t. Because hey, I live alone, nobody will notice!

Until someone needs to come into my flat (which is rare) and I start to panic clean.

The Skat Injector song in the article sounded like annoying noise. But I could actually vibe a little bit to the song by Gridbug.

But mostly it just sounds like noise and not actual music to me (Like my ears don’t even seem to interpret it as music). Still interesting!

I mean that’s an NHS problem, not a trans problem, isn’t it? The healthcare system in the UK is messed up. You got long wait times for most things.

More? It feels like nine out of ten war movies focus on WW2. You can’t throw a stone at IMDB without hitting three WW2 movies and a series along the way.
