On games with good security, you have both.

Replace 83 E0 0F with 90 90 90.

Replace with NOPs? It is so funny when it works imo

Oh dear - ARC Raiders was logging your private Discord chats

Quoting: Cley_Faye.Either their dev are worst than an entry level junior intern, or there's some high level incompetence all around.
On arc raiders there were terrible exploits and security holes, you could pull up the UE5 (?) developer console and use it to teleport back to the game round in which you were eliminated. Or fire the single shot weapon 10 times in 0.1 second with an animation cancel. Etc.

Also what the hell is the finals also affected? I played it often & have my discord linked, nevet played arc outside of server slam

Quoting: _MarsMaybe some form of remote attestation
No no no no no. That sorta kinda kills the purpose of using linux, plus I need out of tree or custom kernel modules on all PCs I use for at least 1 piece of hardware.

Bazzite gets a big update with KDE Plasma 6.6, Mesa 26.0.1 and more

Quoting: Stellathe only reason they used Ptyxis in the first place was because of Konsole's seriously lacking container support, which are very important for the immutable distro workflow.
I personally dislike Discover as it feels slow and bloated due to the many different backends it supports and despite being called Discover, the discoverability of apps feels lacking in comparison to Bazaar. I even started using Bazaar on my Steam Deck.
re, Discover: agreed however it seems to have improved in Plasma 6.6
re, konsole: I switched to konsole from ptyxis months ago, not being able to split tabs was more critical than having a button to enter a container instead of typing distrobox enter. Does ptyxis have any other enhancements?

Minecraft Java is switching from OpenGL to Vulkan for the Vibrant Visuals update
24 Feb 2026 at 4:57 am UTC

Quoting: Developer12This is not correct. Realistically, vulkan is broken below 6th gen skylake. In theory haswell/broadwell GPUs could support it, but the hasvk driver implementation is still very incomplete and not actively seeing work. As for ivybridge/sandybridge before it, there's a partial attempt at a vulkan implementation but even 1.0 is fundamentally broken due to hardware limitations. It likely will see no further work.
I daily drive a laptop with Broadwell, vulkan is usable on it

Godot Engine suffering from lots of "AI slop" code submissions

Quoting: scaineBut... again, this isn't what I'm talking about when I disparage genAI. From the article:

I tried to find a short source as I recalled that something akin to GenAI was used in this specific discovery, instead of checking the content of the source. My bad.

PS: If I use at least 2 quotes or links, do I end up in the mod queue?
