Quoting: BumadarI think you vastly overestimate how many people understand that at all.But, who actually reads this kind of small-print? My bet is only a very tiny minority of people, especially for something usually as simple as a game controller. Ideally, Valve should look to add a much more prominent warning (like in the Steam client) - just to be a bit more on the safe side.Oh please, take responsibility, its magnetic, it has electricity......

Just a reminder to report any issues to Valve's GitHub - here's the ticket [External Link] for this particular game - there's no recent comments with Proton logs on it.

Article updated after speaking with NVIDIA. The 570 series is "end-of-life status" and was not updated for this security issue, and has been removed from the list. Make sure you using one of the updated series noted in the article.

Quoting: StellaDoes Denuvo anti-cheat even support Linux?It should do yeah. Same as EAC, no kernel side for us and reduced protection but it won't block us.

Quoting: PhlebiacSigh, I'll let NVIDIA know about that too...Quoting: Liam Squires-HandR570 in the second list is also botched.Quoting: CatKillerGood catch, I've updated it and let NVIDIA know.Quoting: LinasWait, how should I interpret this? The driver branch is R570, but the fixed driver is 535? There is no fixed 570 driver?I'm pretty sure Nvidia just messed up their table for their press release. From the context of the rest of the table, I expect that 570.211.01 is the version that fixes the 570 branch.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI don't quite understand some of them.I would assume because Warhammmer is not a genre, it's an IP.
For example: Why remove "Warhammer 40k" as a tag?

Reminder to keep things civil, I will remove comments from people who direct any insults at another.
And as a kind reminder - please don't quote uncivil comments as it makes it a mess to clean up if we remove them 👍

Quoting: PlayingOnLinuxphoneThat's the point a lot of people miss - there's a lot of really easy ways to improve your own footprint, it's not case of you having to remove every single thing from your life. But something like using generative AI is an easy choice not to use.Quoting: pbDoes the fact that lithium mine workers have a high mortality rate deter us from using cellphones? Does the fact that microplastic is silently turning oceans into deserts and probably give us all kinds of cancer deter us from buying stuff in plastic wrapping?I can't speak for others, but I am an adult that indeed tries to find a way in this toxic industry to avoid such issues. Do I have a cellphone? Yes. But it also runs Linux on purpose to have a lifespan that exceeds any smartphones lifespan and is repairable/upgradable, with all the uncomfortable things on top and with contributing towards to make it a viable option for everyone some day. Same with other products. Where ever I can I try to avoid negative environmental impacts. It is not always possible, because just as LLMs the industry is forcing bad products onto us lust like LLM everywhere, if it makes sense or not.
There are a lot of people doing the same as me. They probably have other areas where they shine more than me, but we cannot be perfect in an industrial environment where such choices require a lot of enthusiasm, while it should be a no-brainer.
