Nope, seeing as it was published by Epic Games Publishing
Ah nice.
Half-Life 2 has sold ~140% more, maybe 30% of US households have tried VR, so it definitely has room to grow for audience.
They also work to preserve old games, instead of just serving remasters.
Which is funny, because they’ve already been ruled a monopoly and that gravy train is going to be gone.
At the heart of the case are billions of dollars’ worth of exclusive agreements Google has inked over the years to become the default search engine on browsers and devices across the world. According to the court, Google’s 2021 payment to Mozilla for the default position on its browser was more than $400 million, about 80 percent of Mozilla’s operating budget. A spokesperson for Mozilla said it was “closely reviewing” the decision and “how we can positively influence the next steps.”
In the future it is quite possible that an inflatable structure(s) can generate a magnetic dipole field at a level of perhaps 1 or 2 Tesla (or 10,000 to 20,000 Gauss) as an active shield against the solar wind."
Indeed, “in the future” seems to be doing quite a lot of heavy lifting. As noted, 1-2 Tesla is a pretty powerful magnet - so you’d need a pretty big and powerful magnet.
It also doesn’t completely protect the entire planet just two critical points on the surface.
That is certainly an important catch.
Mars gets roughly half the light of Earth, so I don’t think Solar panels would be realistic (how much solar panel surface would you need to power a magnet of that size?)
I’m also not sure a nuclear reactor is realistic - forget the nuclear waste, how do you get rid of the heat waste?
You’d need quite a big magnet operating at a level akin to superconducting magnets in particle accelerators.
Perhaps someone could calculate more accurate numbers and feasibility, but to me, it currently sounds very out of reach for us (not impossible, mind you).
Not surprising - many scientists fled to Mastodon when he first took over. What took them so long?
I mostly agree, but I think voice notes for close friends/family probably have a point.
At this point, I would also argue that texts/emails are also for time critical things since voice calls are essentially dead at this point.
99.99999% of the phone calls I get are spam. I haven’t gotten a new voice mail in like 6 months.
Really sucks for more technical things, and also when you’re in a situation that doesn’t allow for audio (such as those that are deaf, or when viewing articles at work).
Trying to follow a video tutorial for programming when you could have the code in a syntax highlighted code block that is copyable…
Is it? I don’t think anyone gets a pass on supporting a nazi.
It’s not like Musk is known to sexually harass his employees, or anything. /s
While anticheat is definitely a weak spot (though, it doesn’t have to be…) - the Steam Deck and Proton demonstrate it’s pretty mature for playing most games.
They do discuss that in the article
