Nova, a Rust-based Linux driver for NVIDIA GPUs announced

Quoting: nyanbinaryAMD Rust Driver when

Rust on its own is not enough reason to re-write the driver. Nova isn't being re-written just for the sake of writing it in Rust. If the AMD driver is already in good shape then it doesn't need to be re-written in Rust. Rust doesn't give the user any benefit, it only gives the developer the benefit of needing less effort to write good code, but that less efforts is still more efforts than not re-writing at all.

When will Valve start selling the Steam Deck in China? It's strange to ignore such a big market.

Time to move on and stop playing Nintendo games. There are plenty of alternative games.
All older games being sold in Germany on Steam now require a content rating

Maybe they should just use the highest rating (R, 21+, etc?) as the default for any game with no rating.

When will companies realize that the only way to create proper anti-cheat is to do server side AI based anticheat?
HELLDIVERS 2 is out - here's how to run it on Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: Brokatt
Quoting: sarmadWhy would a game with no online competitive mode need an anti-cheat? Sounds dumb to me.

Your statement is a little naive. The first Helldivers had no anti-cheat and they had huge problems with cheaters. People unlocking infinite resources for themselves and also everyone they played with, thus ruining the progression for a lot of people.

Can you clarify? How would unlocking infinite resources for yourself affect someone else? If they are not playing in your game they shouldn't be affected, and if they are playing with you they should already know you and they can simply not play with you if you are a loser who can't play without cheats. It's not like you are playing competitive and your rating would be affected by losing to someone who is cheating. Am I missing something?
