It’s barely a hero shooter - it’s just a MOBA

Microsoft, forever and always, will keep trying to pivot Windows to whatever they think the Next Big Thing is going to be, and then fuck it up every time. They tried to pivot to Mobile (Windows Mobile), then Tablets (8, 8.1), then digital assistants (Win 10 Cortana), then 3D (Win 10 Paint3D, 3D Objects folder) and AR (why a bunch of Win10 got the semitransparent glass aesthetic), now AI. Maybe they got ahead of the curve enough to be the “leader” in “AI” this time, but that doesn’t make it a Good Operating System.

I couldn’t find anything like this other than very expensive portable options last time I checked, and unfortunately Android Tablets are surprisingly hard to use for the purpose.

In some places Messenger is the default communications platform, more so than SMS or WhatsApp or iMessage or whathaveyou.

“my law…” “my study…”

yeah, i think the author wants a law named after them. the first half of the article is also… junk?

They’ve also done it with Halo and Fortnite that I’ve seen.

“promotions” telling me to play a certain game on stream in discord (and get some cosmetic item for it) are ads for that game. I don’t have a screenshot of it on hand, unfortunately.

without ads.

only if you have a very strict definition of Ad

If the claims in the article are true and can scale, that’s actually a really cool technology.

Some people with early access have been playing on computers below the reccomended specs and been okay. Teddy Radko has a 3060 and i7-4770 and is getting good enough performance.

People on reddit are absolutely losing their minds over the lack of steam workshop support, but if Paradox wants stuff to be available to console users and all PC users, it’s really the only option.

My concern is how it’ll interact with Steam Proton on Linux, and just generally if their mods platform will be any good.

If you’re using Windows, then get PowerToys, it has FancyZones for customisable window snapping. The closest thing I’ve found on Linux is gTile.

It’s now at the point where there are two or three “summariser” bots under a post. They don’t seem to be adding anything, and we certainly don’t need multiple. Are they really useful?

that’s a lot more money for a smaller screen, though. 32" is a big monitor sitting in front of a desk, but a small TV if you’re on a couch.

Is there any market research at all indicating that customers want 6"+ displays?

Unfortunately, yes. People who buy smaller phones are the people who buy a new phone less often, and small phones tend to sell worse than the big models (see S10e, iPhone 12(?) Mini) so don’t get renewed. Would be nice if they did.

Python in a spreadsheet would be so helpful, abstracting it out to macros less so. Better than making them in VBA I’m sure, but still not the same thing.

I’m very basic, more thinking about stuff like using Python f-strings and string formatting vs excels formatting.

I haven’t seen any of this in Firefox?

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that something entirely different? This is python in a cell of a spreadsheet, which could be really good, but what you linked seems to be for macros, same as excel’s VBA

It’s a genuinely good security feature, but wrecks custom roms as a side effect (which I’m sure samsung doesn’t mind)

That would make some things so much easier, imagine using python string formatting instead of excel CONCAT and ‘&’… but it’s running on the cloud, so going to be slow and fundamentally useless.
