Go ahead. Fuck with people's money, or expectations of money. See how far that gets you. Culture wars are one thing, and don't affect everyone, but cold hard cash is very real to most people. I fucking dare them.
Do you have any idea the amount of error correction needed to get a regular desktop computer to do its thing? Between the peripheral bus and the CPU, inside your RAM if you have ECC, between the USB host controller and your printer, between your network card and your network switch/router, and so on and so forth. It's amazing that something as complex and using such fast signalling as a modern PC does can function at all. At the frequencies that are being used to transfer data around the system, the copper traces behave more like radio frequency waveguides than they do wires. They are just "suggestions" for the signals to follow. So there's tons of crosstalk/bleed over and external interference that must be taken into account.
Basically, if you want to send high speed signals more than a couple centimeters and have them arrive in a way that makes sense to the receiving entity, you're going to need error correction. Having "error correction" doesn't mean something is bad. We use it all the time. CRC, checksums, parity bits, and many other techniques exist to detect and correct for errors in data.
I'm on the spectrum. I can process reading way, WAY faster than I can process someone just audibly speaking to me. That shit's actually helpful. I admit, it doesn't need to be in the center of the video though.
Milking customers only works if they can't go anywhere else. Too bad dozens of different virtual machine hypervisors exist. Docker is also a thing (I know it's not a VM but it more or less serves the same purpose).
These sorts of tools and knowledge should be free and open, so people can test their own systems and learn how to defend against them. They aren't inherently bad themselves. As with firearms, it's all about what you do with it.
Hiding a potential exploit from the general public does them no good.
You're gonna get some framerate drops for sure. The Steam Deck internal screen is only 1280 x 800, which is how the games run so well on mobile hardware. That's as high as a monitor from the late 90s.
Are you...not familiar with standard program menu bars? Am I that old?
As a Millennial I make it permanently visible, because that's how programs worked in my youth and that's how I use it. I have to actually spend more mental energy using the "hamburger" menu instead of the top one because it's unintuitive to me.
With the old style, things were always more or less grouped the same way. File IO operations in "file", manipulation tools in "edit", help topics in "help", and so on. If you learned the basic layout, you could easily jump right in to most programs and use them immediately without having to learn a custom UI that is different with every program.
Go ahead. Fuck with people's money, or expectations of money. See how far that gets you. Culture wars are one thing, and don't affect everyone, but cold hard cash is very real to most people. I fucking dare them.
