I find it very strange and risky in general that they had EAC implemented and working during their big open tests, but then suddenly implemented a different & untested anticheat before launch. They disabled Linux on the new anti-cheat, but it's more crazy in my mind that they wouldn't expect a whole lot of new implementation issues to crop up after swapping such a major component.
It's very similar yes, as the plug in hybrid does much of what I described. The difference is that a hybrid with have a hybrid drivetrain which can be driven directly from the ICE motor if needed in addition to the battery-powered (via plug in it engine charging) electric motors.
Whereas what I described does not have that ICE fallback in the drivetrain. Does that make more sense? One only exclusively uses electric motors for the 'work' tasks, where the hybrid can use the ICE motor directly as needed.
No, as those also have ICE motors. This is more like having an EV but instead of charging the battery directly you fill it with diesel. Then there is a diesel generator that runs constantly at the most fuel efficient RPM it can. Any engine has an ideal RPM that it can run at with significant savings - thing trying to go highway speeds in first gear for the opposite idea. Instead of the generator having to absorb any power spikes, the electric motors do that and use the stored energy.
There is also a startup company in BC that I saw has been implementing this idea into long haul trucks for substantial improvements.
Thanks for the read, but that is all things I already knew. That article + sec filings show that main owner is still Brazil, second two most powerful investors (and the bulk of the remaining ones) are US.
My main issue with Tim's is that it aggressively brands itself as Canadian. This is especially apparent if you see any of their chains outside of Canada where their whole brand is just being Canadian. Which I take issue with as they have a sprinkle of Canadian ownership at best.
In an idyllic world where no capitalist greed is focused on maximizing shareholder value that might be a more significant concern. But in modern day, a union raising their wages by 10% might result in less than a 1% increase in user prices. Whereas the ruling class of capitalists are the true source of greedflation making products unaffordable.
If anything in your example I would argue that the better solution is actually more unions. Those nail salon workers should also earn living wages to afford the goods, which unions would fight for. I would be shocked to learn of any case where a union could be compared to the average elite-class capitalist in terms of greed.
I wonder if the people who are using drugs are also experiencing higher than 'normal' stress levels which could play a factor? I.e. more stressed people would use more drugs?
Their basic hosting and storage plans seem good, but I'm always disappointed when I look at any Canadian hosting for VPS prices. I'd love to use a Canadian VPS alongside or instead of my Hetzner VPS - but the prices always seems to be 2-3+x what Hetzner offers.
I believe they are saying to use OBS just for screen capture, then use that feed as the 'camera' input for whatever video chat application you are using
My OLED TV disagreed apparently. Put on a certain fireplace video one winter for a few hours per day for about a month. Burned the crap out of my reds. I'll never get an OLED again, but still use it because TVs are expensive and it still technically works.

I mean Linus is okay with LLM coding tools so hardcore anti-LLM people really shouldn't use the Linux kernel at this point...

Why post in Canada? Tim Hortons hasn't been Canadian in years. All the profits leave the country due to the foreign ownership.
People still use Facebook?!

You seriously think high grocery costs are due to unions? How are you both pro-communism and anti-union?

Do you have a recommendation for which project to host and/or clients to use? There are so many.
It looks good, I'm considering it. But the 'uwu' makes my eyes hurt. Might not be possible to overcome the name to install it.

Effective because way fewer people playing means fewer cheaters as a result!
Best civ is Unciv. FOSS civ 5 with way better performance and a lot of QoL changes
Back up your data... Including the vault. Cold storage isn't too expensive
Yep works great.
