    Steam developer gets banned for “Very Positive” review trickery

    Just rename the Studio and Publisher to "The (Studio/Publisher) formally known as very positive" and call it a day. He's right about the amount of shovel ware crap on steam.

    Rampant and unchecked cheating in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes

    Never play this game but I play another game with leader boards and a common thing to do is to do tournament using you powerful team but then when you log off you set your tournament team to something weak so people can't see what you are actually using?

    Just turning your phone on qualifies as searching it, court rules

    We don't get many wins for privacy so yea. For argument sake what is the ruling for cop/FBI to take pictures through windows? Does that count a search? I kinda see an analogous situation, people know windows go both way so don't wake naked in front of them, at least not before pulling the...

    Recommend me a replacement joystick, please.

    I've had good success with the Thrustmaster T.16000M ($70) as well, but haven't played Elite. Apparently there is now a Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS Controller which is the stick with a throttle now, but that is sitting at $140

    Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries: Solaris Showdown

    Yes the gamepass version has a note on the store page saying that mods aren't supported yet. Not too surprising that has been a problem with windows store for a long time.

    Caveat emptor—SMR disks are being submarined into unexpected channels

    How are SMR drives on the read side of things? Just fine for a media server where, things basically only getting written to it once?

    Firefox 75 overhauls the browser’s address bar

    Well now, that's good to hear. I was about ready to switch back to google because DDG was just giving bad results too often.

    CDC reports data on 2,500 COVID-19 cases in kids, including 3 deaths

    I've got a 3 year old and a 3 month old so kinda "happy"(??) about reading this article. I'm hoping that the high rate for the under 1 year old is just the usual of not fucking around when a kid that age "health" goes past certain thresholds.

    Good Arduino forum/site?

    Read the title, "I could use this as well" "Oh fuck no" And reading through the rest. Problem is it is pushing buttons on a medical device, which means you have a device modifying a medical device. As soon as your device touches a medical device it is "infected" and falls under FDA. You...

    Pinball FX3

    That was more difficult than needed. I ended up getting it added to my account by going into one of the bundles in the care package. Under the buy now option there was packages that include this, and that had the trusty get button. I then verified that everything was there. Building a video...

    Why are U-2 jet pilots wearing Garmin satellite navigation smartwatches?

    I would be interested in knowing what happens if GPS isn't jammed but spoofed? GPS and GLONASS should be close enough, but what if one suddenly goes way off, how does the software handle that?

    Abstract art with “pseudo-profound” BS titles seen as more meaningful

    I ran into that this weekend trying to make pancakes from scratch.
