    While VAC is indeed far from competent at detecting all but the most rudimentary cheats, it is so by design. When the first third party CSGO matchmaking/league services decided to …

    I don't know what sort of artists you know, but of all the artists I know, nobody is "completely fine" with tracing. It is okay but still frowned upon when people do it for "practi…

    As a hobbyist musician even I notice Live's flaws. And while it does indeed get out of your way most of the time, when it doesn't you can't change it and it becomes frustrating. Wh…

    "Radios" in Spotify are a shadow of their former self anyway. They used to be a theoretically infinite list of songs that you could up and down vote, which would then influence the…

    To offer an additional perspective: A far less monetized and more user content focused version of "the Metaverse" already exists: VRChat. It's been around since before Covid and it…

    This is not the default behaviour and it has to be enabled per client/platform. The first unlock after a reboot still requires the master password as well.

    Looking at their careers page[1] lists a bunch of web3 positions, so it's safe to say their general plan regarding crypto/blockchain goes even beyond just NFTs as a phone feature. …

    As is the case with a lot of messengers, they try to sell their product to enterprises. Pricing for that is available on their site as well: https://olvid.io/enterprise/en/

    Maybe a short, abstract svg animation of how a certain feature would look like and behave? Probably a little more work to implement (well) and keep up to date but I've liked that s…

    The big question on my mind when reading and considering this is, who is this aimed at? Is it aimed at casual players? Is this aimed at those who want to improve or that play compe…

    As far as I can remember, Dead Cells specifically was made using Heaps[1], which the creator of Haxe himself made. Paper's Please uses OpenFL[2] instead. I'd say the Language has q…

    I would in all honesty give them even bigger props, as someone who used to be but isn't a fan anymore. They tried to add a game store a la steam into it but realized it didn't get …

    Why are they trying to do this sort of thing when their usual "recommendations" through their radio are just pre-generated playlists that one has no influence on anyway. I remember…

    As someone who's in their mid twenties right now, I do somewhat relate to that. I used to hang around a lot more gaming community subreddits but I think somewhere along the lines t…

    I remember when I first heard of discord back in 2015 before it became the huge thing it is these days. It seemed like a cool idea and reminded me of IRC, which I still used then, …

    I actually remember this being a thing back in 2015-16 when they first launched and before the "boom" happened. Back then it was only possible when you actually got an invite from …

    .gg has seen decent adoption in newer gaming related sites. But that's the only one I can think of right now.

    There was some action from Intel. They slashed the prices of their 10000 series by up to 50% to be able to compete in terms of price. But those CPUs are just refreshes of their 900…

    As a techy person in their mid twenties, I've used irc extensively over the years and I miss it quite a bit. It doesn't have all the fancy features of modern messaging solutions be…
