1·20 days agoAre we able to vote for the same person again on the next day (after the 24hour cooldown)?
5·21 days agoWell unless you did sunday driving… And put weapons on your car so you could go around demolishing the buildings you had built up in Sim City.
20·23 days agoIt’s not an easy answer, but the best way I’ve found so far is to use GrayJay.
If I find that one of the content creators I follow on YouTube happen to post their content on any other platform, I switch my subscription to that platform.
Besides YouTube they support Nebula, Twitch, Odysee, PeerTube, Dailymotion, Bitchute, Kick, BiliBili, Rumble, Patreon, and more.
Hmmm, time to find an app that can let me schedule a future comment then… Thanks!
Oh, awesome, I thought we had to pm it to the bot to give it to a commenter. Thanks!
Does your vote get reset exactly 24 hours after your last vote, or is it reset midnight UTC time?
Thanks for putting this together!
It looks like a lot of people are attempting to use it on comments instead of a direct reply to the post, while expecting it to go to the commenter.
Can we get a confirmation from the bot of who the vote is going to?

Banning cheaters in games is TIGHT!!!
No problem. Unfortunately the prompt for an application being denied access usually only shows up when the game first creates a save point. So you might have to get just far enough until the game saves to trigger it.
Issues like that are usually related to windows security settings which block applications from modifying the contents of user specific folders.
If a game likes to write save files to those locations and you have enabled ransomware protection, you’ll need to allow an exception for it:
Go to Windows Security -> Protection History -> Protected folder access blocked (look for the game’s executable in this list) -> Actions -> Allow on Device
I doubt it would work well, but with enough training data it would be able to pick up on some areas. Especially if there are large landmarks in the frame (mountains/hills/rivers, etc.).
One interesting alternative would be the Visual Positioning System (VPS) that Niantic has built from Pokemon go player data. Basically you can take a picture outside and your phone will know exactly where you are:

Too bad they’re getting close to being bought out by a company that’s notorious for squeezing out every penny from their player base.
Edit: Correction, Pokemon Go is being bought from Niantic… The company itself is not being bought.
I did a quick search but couldn’t find any issue with their anticheat.
From what I could find, it’s not a kernel level anticheat.
As far as damaging hardware, reading from a drive doesn’t really degrade it much at all, the bigger concern there would be if it was writing to your drive a ton (but honestly you should worry more about Window’s Page File system since that makes it possible to use your storage drive as RAM).
I found a post from one player on the steam forums with concerns about the anticheat because their system kept crashing, but that sounded more like an isolated incident (or more likely related to the Intel CPU issue that was confirmed that same year).
There is a highly upvoted review for the game which has concerns about the anticheat reading all files on a drive and “overloading your processors (ignoring frame-rate caps and going past it).”
I agree that reading every file on a drive is concerning, I’d rather any anticheat stick to just the game’s folders itself.
However, I’m wary about their understanding of programs/computers if they think that anti-cheat software should be limited by, or has anything to do with frame-rate caps. Also, they don’t provide a source for any of their information or how they tested it.
Most other cocerns about anti-cheat quoted that same review in one way or another.
Yeah, you can see it here:

I looked into this a bit more and here’s a quick video of someone testing out the demo that they have online:

2·2 months agoDid you also update to Windows 11 24H2 recently?
Here’s an archived thread about a discussion about these issues.

Sounds a lot like what you are describing. This is a few months old, so I’m not sure if Windows has fixed this issue yet.
That’s just what Apple wants you to think:
Had to lookup the penalties since this document just pointed somewhere else:
(a) In General.–Section 206 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1705) is amended to read as follows:
SEC. 206. PENALTIES.
- (a) Unlawful Acts.–It shall be unlawful for a person to violate, attempt to violate, conspire to violate, or cause a violation of any license, order, regulation, or prohibition issued under this title.
- (b) Civil Penalty.–A civil penalty may be imposed on any person
who commits an unlawful act described in subsection (a) in an amount not
to exceed the greater of–
- (1) $250,000; or
- (2) an amount that is twice the amount of the transaction that is the basis of the violation with respect to which the penalty is imposed.
- © Criminal Penalty.–A person who willfully commits, willfully attempts to commit, or willfully conspires to commit, or aids or abets in the commission of, an unlawful act described in subsection (a) shall, upon conviction, be fined not more than $1,000,000, or if a natural person, may be imprisoned for not more than 20 years, or both.‘’.

I’m definitely looking forward to this game.
It’s looking good from what I’ve seen so far.
