I hope they asked permissions for storing those cookies. Otherwise they're violating various EU laws.

> If a player joins with a different Steam ID but with an IP address that is already banned, the system now re-bans them

This works great until you realize you're punishing innocent players because of CGNAT and IP addresses getting rotated. Cheaters usually know how to get their router to request a new IP address. That IP address then gets assigned to someone else later.

sure, iirc it used to even just be a setting? online-mode=false

most servers leave it enabled because preventing player impersonation is pretty important so people can't just easily grief each other. some piracy servers implemented their own auth on top.

the client has to authenticate with a central server and present a ticket to the server it wants to connect to. otherwise clients could impersonate each other easily.

Apparently not in your body, no. Or maybe you just failed to recognize what addiction is, and managed to overcome it. Good job!

Now stop trying to pretend that your lived experience equals everyone else's because it clearly doesn't.

kotlin is great for the lone cowboy. not so much for teams.

They'll just put up "captchas" or whatever.

The point if phone lines is to waste the client's time. Not to have the client waste their time.

beeboobaa3··on Why does man print "gimme gimme gimme" at 00:30? (2017)
Because it's practically identical to "Something went wrong!" but different and unexpected, which makes it funny. I don't know. Can you really explain what exactly makes something funny?

> Are you, or have you ever been responsible for content end users might see?

Yes. I don't do such things because of curmudgeons like yourself. But as a user I wouldn't mind at all, and think it's funny.

beeboobaa3··on Why does man print "gimme gimme gimme" at 00:30? (2017)
I can, and it'd be pretty funny. Better than "Something went wrong!".

Why does it upset you so?

Try having the same argument with your plumber, electrician or dentist.

You're there because you are reliant on their expertise and can't just do it yourself. Otherwise you'd be doing so.

beeboobaa3··on How the iPhone 16's electrically-released adhesive works
Most competitors are repaired with screens scavenged from other devices. Which is not possible with Apple devices, because of the hardware lock.
beeboobaa3··on How the iPhone 16's electrically-released adhesive works
Do you really think that nearly half of the price of an iphone is the screen? How come competitors are able to offer screens at 1/3rd the price?

Keep in mind that apple is intentionally killing the third party market. You cannot make a third party screen for an iphone that behaves the same as a regular screen, the iphone firmware will detect this and prevent it.

Both impact accessibility.

If the device can only be repaired by having extremely specialist tools, skills, etc. then it's still repairable, you just need to invest in those things which costs $$$. But it's hardly worth doing, because by the time you've done so the next iphone rolls around and the skills/tools lose most of their value.

If the device can easily be repaired but the replacement components cost so much it's hardly worth doing the end result is the same: Devices won't be repaired because it's not financially attractive. Which is exactly what Apple wants, they're only doing this because the EU is practically forcing them to.

Does apple still hardware lock all of the components? If so, how is any of this useful?

It's simple:

Electron is great for developers because it allows them to easily build a cross platform app. Businesses love it for this reason.

Most users don't care. They barely realize what software is to begin with, and the mere suggestion that things could be different is baffling to them.

Then you have the highly technical users who know the software could be better, but isn't, because of the previous points.
