Games@lemmy.world•Lastest Riot Vanguard Update Can Brick Your Hardware (If You're a Cheater)English
2 daysYup, these systems have a history of false positives and flagging legitimate programs as cheating software and messing with a users system, using cheat software or not, to this extent is just absolutely wrong.
It’s a big reason for me why I stopped buying and playing these types of games.
Riot Games‘ kernel-level anti-cheat, Vanguard, has received an update that is allegedly altering system firmware to remove the ability of the user to access certain hardware associated with cheating.
Riot Games quoted one post discussing the anti-cheat, replying “congrats to the owners of a brand new $6k paperweight.” But how exactly does Vanguard’s new system make “paperweights” out of hardware?

4 daysYeah, great because ocean habitat already straining from warming oceans are going to love having AI that produces nothing but hallucinations and pron heat up the waters even more.
It took just a day for some clear patterns to emerge in the Xbox Player Voice feedback forum, with the clear-cut leading request being bringing back Xbox console exclusives. A player named Carlos Hernandez shared a request to bring them back, claiming that Xbox isn’t selling enough consoles because there’s no reason to buy them when the games can be bought and played on competing systems. Within a day, that request has received nearly 10,000 upvotes, and over a thousand comments.

Technology@lemmy.world•US orders travelers on Air Force One to throw away gifts, pins, and burner phones after China tripEnglish
9 daysUh duh? Pretty normal procedure when visiting foreign governments.
However the problem isn’t the support staff, it’s the moron leaders that are the problem. I bet 100 bucks that Trump kept at least a gift that contains a spy equipment.

10 daysLet’s be honest, with AI you’ll get both right next to you competing for the use of water.
And you know when the Nuclear plant needs the water to prevent a meltdown, you know who will get the water.

Games@lemmy.world•Roblox is pulling a DLSS 5, offering yet another example of a tool mistaking itself for an artistEnglish
24 daysSo Roblox is already complete shit exploitation machine but adding in this crutch as you put it to kids that are in the one of the most influential part of their development and making this the norm and to not develop any skills, to accept slop as art and not developing their own style and stunting their ability before it gets a chance to develop.
To use your own analogy, I see it as giving a perfectly able kid a crutch and teaching them that’s how to properly walk. You get fucked up adults that can never run.











I look forward to AI slop making the next group of senior software engineers make complete crap because they have no idea what good software actually is.
There’s going to be another market for consultants cleaning up these moron’s mess once again.
