Problem is when things like Kerbal Space Program 2 happen, and they release a buggy mess and charge full price for it and then abandon the project.

I feel like established publishers (Take 2, Codemasters come to mind) should be specifically excluded from the Early Access program, or perhaps price limits should be imposed on games in the program..

Of all the games that could benefit from a remastering in 2024, Horizon Zero Dawn would be among the last of them. That game still looks utterly gorgeous, ffs.

Is day today having a privacy policy implies that the app is in fact being used for data collection. However, it appears to point to the general Google privacy policy...

But also, MFW somebody turns a perfectly usable desktop application into an internal website that ends up only working on one browser...

I love how all the reactions to this are either "I love this" and "this is cursed beyond belief"

I personally would get a kick out of this as a skin for occasional use...

I am constantly amused about how "next year" has been "the year of Linux on the desktop" for 20+ years. Meanwhile, Linux & BSD have pretty much completely taken over the whole world except the desktop in that same time.

You will own nothing and be happy

Way to miss the point. That's 54,000 that one person knows of across a small handful of organisations in one small country. I'm not even including the dozens more organisations I know were affected but can't come up with a ballpark figure for.

This number seems quite low. My organisation alone would have had something like 3000 employee devices taken down. Since it happened on a day where most people WFH, there's at least another thousand static devices in my building alone that may not have been in use at the time that will shit the bed tomorrow morning.

The same thing applies to our much larger sister companies interstate. So that's another 6,000 or so devices.

The two largest energy retailers were affected too, so that's another 5,000 devices at a conservative estimate.

Then there's all the self-service checkouts that went down across Australia. I have no idea how many there are, but if every Coles and Woolworths has ten of them, that's another ~40,000 devices.

That's just the organisations that I am personally aware of as being affected in Australia and can get ballpark figures for.

Obviously Microsoft are getting their figures from the auto-reportimg that happened on each crash, but it really does seem like it's too low.

It's beyond time to diversify our IT infrastructure. Enough with sticking everything "in the cloud" and paying for software (and devices!!) we don't own.

My very large organisation has Gimp available for basic image manipulation. I've tried to get them to use Paint.NET instead, but nooooo... Apparently we like hitting nails with jackhammers around here

Sounds like I'd be happy either way, sooo

Absolutely staggering film. I am constantly kicking myself for not watching it in cinemas at release, because my god... My god!!
