I feel like people lately go a bit overboard when it’s about protecting their “data”.

As far as I see all it does is just send one single number that shows that there is someone using this specific operation system and it does not include any personal or unique to the user information.

In my opinion this does not even qualify as “my data”

Just as an example:

https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/

“Some devices can still send their location for up to 24 hours after they’ve been turned off or have low battery life.”

https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-google-find-my-device-feature-phone-off

“Google began rolling out this feature as “Powered Off Finding” with the Pixel 8 series, letting users locate their phone even when it’s switched off by keeping the Bluetooth chip active.”

And those are only some of the official known possibilities

There is no such thing as “off” on modern Smartphones. Even if you power it down things like the baseband prozessor and bluetooth still stay active most of the time.

If the battery is integrated into device there ist no real way to completely shut this things down.

I got 150 hours out of this game and I think that is very much all i will ever play.

For a good while it was even quite interesting because there were still a lot of new things to discover.

But then you started to do things just to get them done not because they were particularly fun or interesting.

If they don’t implement some fundamental new way to play this game or combine existing mechanics better together I don’t think anything could pull me back.

And i hope procedural generation starts to die very soon. Throwing the same basic ingredience into a mixer does not give you something new but more of the same. It’s boring.

Isn’t RCS for the most part using Google services and servers? I don’t know if that really is that much better.

To my knowledge, the original idea to have RCS be operated by the mobile providers is pretty much dead.

So basically discord finally got a usable search. I count that as a win.

That some messed up US thing i never understood. Here in germany you are anonymous by default when you win. at most it is published from what state the winner was.

That someone’s name and even address is published is so completely unimaginably absurd to me. makes no sense whatsoever.

Aren’t Mastodon instances maintained by volunteers in their spare time? I can’t imagine how they manage to continue moderating it once there are ten thousand or millions of users on it. At least the moderators on Twitter were paid. It was their job. I think people massively underestimate how much work this is.

What a colossal waste…

And then you realize far too late that stuff like this is strictly regulated and you forgot to comply with all the standards for product safety and hygiene and the state is going to rip your ass so far open that a truck can make a u-turn it it.

I mean Terminator 1 takes place in 1984. As far a quick search goes, there were no background checks, no assault weapon ban, no waiting period, …etc

Vote to change it to Gulf of Luigi

Todd was cool though.

The European Union seems powerless to counter the assault

Oh please. These pissbaby techbros wouldn’t be crying so much if they weren’t hit where it hurts. It usually takes a while for the wheels of EU bureaucracy to turn, but the following blow is all the harder for it.

As someone who is very happy to live in the EU and proud of what it has achieved so far, I can say: Fuck you Trump and your appendant ulcers!

x.com was PayPal before it got renamed and then the donain was unused until the twitter fiasko.

You were claiming that some libraries had limited support for CPUs from 2012, which is simple said absolute and utter nonsense.

You are also trying to pin Vulcan problems on CPUs. Which is nonsense as well, since Vulkan has absolutely nothing to do with CPUs since it is a graphics API using the GPU. The only thing that may be is that you were using the integrated GPU built in your CPU, which was not compatible with Vulkan instead of using your dedicated GPU.

In that case, it could explain why changing the CPU fixed the problem, but it was actually never a problem of the CPU itself but a configuration error on your part.

And as said, Wine will run on absolutely anything that came after a Pentium III, so it is very much impossible that your CPU that was from 2012 could not run Wine. But it would be of course very helpful if you would actually tell us what CPU you had.

And yes, i tested it. My old CPU was a Phenom 2 from 2010 and Wine ran just fine with it and still does . And i very clearly gave you the reason in my first post. Which is Wine requiring SSE2.

Man, i even can play some older games with Wine on my Dell XPS M1330 Laptop which came out in 2007. That thing runs an ancient Dual-Core. This needs some tinkering though.

Then it was an software problem. It can’t be the CPU. unless you were using something very old. maybe the problem got solved when you reinstalled the system after you got your new CPU.

That is only really a problem for CPUs one would consider today as ancient like a Pentium 3 from 1999 because it doesn’t have e.g. SSE2 support which Wine (and afaik Vulkan) needs. Everything after that should work without any problems.

With older or slower CPUs performance may suffer, of course, but that is not a compatibility question.
