"Anti-piracy technologies is to the benefit of the game publishers, [but also] is of benefit to the players in that it protects the [publisher's] investment and it means the publishers can then invest in the next game"

The only entity benefiting in this scenario is Denuvo, while the client clutches their pearls to protect a misguided concept of the elusive lost sale. Denuvo rakes in cash in the name of copy protection, but the truth is most acts of piracy are driven by a lack of means to obtain the product or a desire to demo the product.

Sure it's their right to protect it but I don't think there's any accurate way to actually measure the impact of games with and without such aggressive copy protection.

Google is testing this with some owners of the Pixel 6 and newer devices in the US. Tensor is clearly required and this suggests on-device AI is being leveraged. The goal is to “enhance our Call Screen capabilities and reduce robocalls, giving you time back and peace of mind.”

What devices can receive the beta?

Devices that may receive this beta will be the Pixel 6 and above, within the United States.

How can I check my Call Screen Settings to enable/disable the feature?

You can check out this helpful article for steps on checking your Call Screen settings.

When will this become available for everyone?

We’re looking forward to sharing more when the feature launches.

Only reason I installed it is for it's ability to use GitHub releases as a source and notify me if there are updates. As far as I'm aware you have to use f-droid repositories with f-droid -- but it's been a long time since I had f-droid installed.

Install Lutris.

Use the battle net install helper for Lutris.

Launch battle net.

Profit.

It's like one extra step (install Lutris) compared to Windows. Using Linux doesn't have to be some archaic mystery and the proliferation of the steam deck is doing wonders at improving the ease of use of all this stuff.

Spoiler alert: your individual choices don't matter. Drastic and sweeping changes need to be made at the corporate/supply chain level if we have any hope of surviving this.

So... We're fucked.

This really only affects legitimate users.

Legitimate users are usually the ones who suffer most for DRM

Unregistered torrents (from upgrades to season packs or nuked releases) and the occasional upgrade paths that don't always work.

My own upgrade paths tend to pull in some versions which get made redundant so every so often, just ensuring there's no multiple copies as a result of said upgrades

You can use sonarr and radarr without indexers. There's even built-in support for major trackers without need for additional apps like Prowlarr.

That said, I use autobrr to handle the monitoring of releases and let the other apps filter out what they actually want

It looks like a kbin feature, not sure it exposes Lemmy activity

I personally used Lutris:

Grab the battle.net installer from the lutris website, optionally extend it with the D4 installer (it just creates a second shortcut using the same battle.net install you just did).

Once bnet is installed, you can add Lutris games as shortcuts in steam (you may need to do it from desktop mode without steam running) by right clicking on games and clicking add to steam.

From there you just need to install D4 in the bnet client and away you go.

They also learned nothing from a previous experience where the sub lost contact and got lost for hours. There were discussions of adding a beacon to the sub but that clearly never happened.

I guess the CEO never expected cutting corners would directly affect his life.

They may as well just remove the "Private" feature from Reddit since it's against the CoC to use it at this point.

You deleted your account yes, but they are rolling back comment deletions which is what this post is about. If you delete your account, you'll no longer be able to get eyes on what Reddit has restored of yours and they can quietly restore your content without your knowledge.

It's a game of cat and mouse currently in regards to protecting what you've previously submitted to reddit.
