you already work for free for many people and you do not complain... just look to all those guys playing golf, eating in fancy restaurants, buying expensive cars, etc some of then do really work, others just take "dividends", play with stocks, give some random orders (just to make look like they do something) do a CEO do 1M more work than the worker to justify the salary difference? why when one is fired, gets a boat of money and the other gets a card box to put it own things?
you are socially programmed to accept those... you could also be socially programmed to accept that some people gets some money for not doing anything, while others want more and work... and some of that work will revert to those that do not do anything.... yes it sound strange now... just like slavery now sound strange, but it was perfectly fine in the past
Those are hacked machines already... the real hackers are using other people machines, usually several times/jumps... and they can be everywhere in the world, even in your internal network
around that amazing trump country, there are other countries too, you know!? and no matter the amount of ego USA people have, most of the OTHER country people do not really care about the USA opinions, laws or whatever:D
It is just me, or this thread is being attacked by one (or several) trolls... i never saw soo many useless/insults/troll posts vs real posts in slashdot
what, patent trolls are crying because they will lose money with this format?!
VR is one of the things that valve is fixing in linux... the original development was done for windows, as it was a race to see who was the first to reach the market and "land grab" the market... now they have more time to port to linux and fix bad code on the VR libraries and missing features on linux
Ark - Survival is full of bugs... i would bet the right answer is on nvidia saying bad code (game or engine), being just one example of some bad code working by accident on windows, but failing on others. Notice that nvidia also have many bugs, but as many developers use nvidia, most of they are already workaround.
I do bless AMD open source drivers, they are getting better and better and with then it is usually easier to find who is to blame about those kind of problems.
More AA and AAA games: War thunder, almost all Total War games, the two newer tomb raider, MiddleEarth - Shadow of Mordor, Stelaris, City Skylines, CSGO, Dota2, Portal series, Half-live series, TF2, Hitman, Mad Max, Company of Heros series, Football manager series, newer civilization games, Payday2, Dying lights, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, witcher2, age of wonders 3, Alien: Isolation, newer Warhammer series, Dirt series, F1 2015 and 2017... hey, go check the list : http://store.steampowered.com/...
in firefox OS, firefox was almost all the OS... even the apps were mostly web pages. Even ignoring that, sites could change the css theme depending of the light sensor values, or web games use the proximity sensor to add new game features (like a very poor xbox kinetics feature).
Again, the idea was to give access to it and see how people used it, sometimes there are weird ideas that do use small and simple features. This one didn't work, that is why is being disabled
you are only thinking in desktop, but in tablets and phones you may want to change the white background to a warm white background if the light is lower, so it does not hurt the human eye or require user adjusting the brightness level. Also, interactive sites and specially WebRTC may want to disable touch input if the proximity sensor flags in, so you do not submit any bad email or ruin a game or simply hangup or turn on video chat.
This was very important for Firefox OS, but without it they are less important and little real world usage is detected... except for trying to track the user... that is why is being disabled now. Of course without it, you have to trust your phone OS to do that
On desktop, as you do not have those sensors most of the time, the value is fixed and mostly useless.
The battery API was more useful, it allowed sites to disabled CPU/GPU heavy features depending of the battery... but it was also abused and later disabled
Actually this is a W3C API and chrome also support it... at least in mobile. In desktop i think they disabled it as there is usually no sensors... in firefox they are also enabled, but without sensors (almost everyone), the value is fixed
remember that many of this are there to test if it is useful and if sites start to use it for cool things... sadly several features are just abused by trackers and later disabled.
thank you, but i didn't read this in any other place, this was the first time i saw this... so maybe what you read is the same as the submitter use, but not everyone read that same source
So basically, WSL is a "built-in in the kernel wine"!!:D
Linux do not like to put everything in the kernel, they prefer pushing most of it to user level... check the "Gallium nine" direct3d9 implementation in mesa, it is exactly the windows API implemented over the existent kernel GPU layer build for mesa Gallium
basically no, openoffice is mostly dead. Apache did try to pick it up, but most developers moved to libreoffice and even release security patch for openoffice took several months, if ever released.
Is someone is still using openoffice, he/she/it is basically using a several year old office without updates. Just move on to libreoffice already! Libreoffice in the other hand had lot of development, new features, bug fixes and cleanup (they finally removed old trash that SUN kept still from staroffice and even DOS support).
And yes, libreoffice replaced office 386 just fine, and lot cheaper too. Yes, it is not perfect, but neither all MS office have perfect compatibility between then, people just accept it fine because "it's my fault, i still didn't upgrade my office" thinking.
war thunder run in the pst with opengl in mac and the performance was bad... they reported that the opengl in mac was somewhat lacking features and performance optimizations, (because apple didn't care) so it was hard to fix they then ported the game to metal and performance increased a lot, specially in lower end machines... and this was not a full port, is just changing some parts to use metal, to solve the performance problems.
So yes, this is something users want. The major pain is that apple didn't supported vulkan, so games had to use vulkan, metal and probably direct3d and opengl. With this change, they can just have vulkan and run everywhere
vulkan drivers a lot simpler than opengl, so for the apple developers and nvidia/amd/intel, it is also easier for they to support vulkan
vulkan, metal and direct3d12 are almost the same in the way they work, this mostly maps the differences between then (translate vulkan calls to other calls) , so you can build in vulkan and run vulkan, metal and direct3d12 (probably mostly for xbox, as you can run vulkan directly in windows)

i have read that 4chan post too!!

do a CEO do 1M more work than the worker to justify the salary difference? why when one is fired, gets a boat of money and the other gets a card box to put it own things?

great, the gulag should be then a nice tropical beach, with all the melted iced and the temperature raised due to the CO2
Simple, this is a easy way to tell people that they should use telegram to find pirate content... and so secure that not even russia can break it!! :D

you see, do not do to others what you do not want to be done to you!!
Karma is a bitch!
yeh, right!!! just because those two never had SEVERAL satellites with uncontrolled re-entry
just burn a little sooner, before they would get damaged... when it starts to enter the atmosphere, to give it a little push

you have add-on for that, install no-script and you get the 99% static page without any api (as all APIs are javascript based)

Just like wine is a native implementation of the windows calls :)
+1 to this one
it is very powerfull, it really helps managing tasks, the main program is cli, but you can integrate is most other tools, phones, web
recommended
openoffice is dead for several years already, switch to libreoffice
