This shit winds me up so much. It used to be that a game would be full price for 6-12 months before moving onto a budget label at a vastly rexuced price.
Nowadays games are full price forever, except for the few days a year when they go on “sale” and get reduced to what they should’ve been all along. During which time the publishers get to act like they’re being altruistic and doing us a massive favour.
The episode specifically states that this is the case. She’d been chatting with her elderly mentor about old friends dying off and how it’s like they never existed, and she’d been mulling this over at the point at which she was sucked into the bubble causing it to manifest.
It’s always seemed stupid and jarring to me, but I imagine they added it in to help people understand the concept.
There was plenty of demand when fuel prices shot up a few years ago, but since then, unless you have access to off street parking and your own charger, it’s become more expensive to drive an EV than a combustion car.
When the price of oil goes up the government falls over itself to subsidise and bring it back down. When the price of energy goes up they shrug their shoulders and slap 20% VAT on public chargers. It’s insane and hardly any surprise that demand has “flagged”.
That’s… A lot of storage. I’d say your options are, in no particular order:
Failing that you could just have a bit of a purge? If not straight deleting stuff, move things onto an external drive.
You could also try deduping. There’s a script that’ll add any drive to the internal “supported” list and also enable dedupe on mechanical drives. The savings were minimal on mine but you might have more luck. https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_Deduplication
I keep thinking about doing something similar as I have an EV, solar, and batteries and Home Assistant to pull it all together but I just can’t seem to make the maths work on sites like Octoprice. No matter how much I tweak things it always comes out more expensive than Intelligent Go.
I do at least have an automation setup to make the most of the 2 hours of free energy tomorrow. Better than nothing!
I can’t use these things together.
Oh no.
Two.
Is down.
First one, on the 3DO. Small selection of exotics and sports cars, realistic (for the time) point-to-point road races with no music to obscure the engine noise, and an annoyingly/amusingly sarcastic rival racer that was obviously just one of the devs.
Each car had its own showcase video followed by a detailed specs sheet with a very enthusiastic voiceover explaining why you should be excited to drive this car. Even the courses had the voiceover treatment.
It truly was a love letter to cars and driving that has never been equalled, and is very telling that it’s the only one to have had Road & Track branding. Every subsequent NFS game has been so in name only.
These are really cool, thank you. Added Spook and used it to clean up some broken entities.
We all need to decide for ourselves what we’re comfortable with and what we’re not and then implement appropriate measures to suit. I’m not sure why you’re arguing with me over how I setup my own services for my own use.
Yes and no? It’s not quite as black and white as that though. Yes, they can technically decrypt anything that’s been encrypted with a cert that they’ve issued. But they can’t see through any additional encryption layers applied to that traffic (eg. encrypted password vault blobs) or see any traffic on your LAN that’s not specifically passing through the tunnel to or from the outside.
Cloudflare is a massive CDN provider, trusted to do exactly this sort of thing with the private data of equally massive companies, and they’re compliant with GDPR and other such regulations. Ultimately, the likelihood that they give the slightest jot about what passes through your tunnel as an individual user is minute, but whether you’re comfortable with them handling your data is something only you can decide.
There’s a decent question and answer about the same thing here: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/what-data-does-cloudflare-actually-see/28660
Admittedly I’m paranoid, but I’d be looking to:
All of the above is free, but past step 2 can be difficult to setup. The peace of mind once it is, however, is worth it to me.
Check out Grip: Combat Racing for a modern take on Rollcage. I haven’t played it since early access, though, so I’ve no idea if it’s any good.
Dolby Atmos at no extra cost, except the headset is 10 bucks more than the old version. Seems to me like Dolby Atmos support actually costs 10 bucks.
I do that a lot on my phone but keep forgetting it’s a thing on desktop for some reason.
Better than using what? All I see is a bunch of stars.
It’s quite normal as chip manufacturing improves and die sizes shrink. Smaller dies need less power and therefore run cooler, it’s a win-win. It’s also how the various slim models of consoles suddenly appear a few years after the regular version came out.
Presumably streamed via xcloud, which previously needed a separate app.
Webtop. Lightweight Linux VMs but in Docker.
