Quoting: buckysrevenge

Quoting: F.UltraStill sad that still in 2018 things get's completely wiped on firmware updates. Wouldn't it be nice if vendors of controllers, BIOS/UEFI, Smart TVs and so on would put the configuration on a separate memory location that didn't get wiped.

It's not "completely wiped", it just is no longer paired. Once I paired my controllers, they had retained their personal settings (name, start up tune, etc.).

I'm also not having the "'A' cancelling out the pairing" problem. In fact, one of my codes was all A's and it worked fine.

Ah ok, good to hear!

Quoting: FeistNot a big fan of this type of game but I bought it anyway. I used to love their movies when I was a kid and if Netflix bought the rights, then I would stock up on tons of Beer, beans and hotdogs and have myself a whole weekend movie-marathon. :D

They are available on Amazon Prime. At least on the German one (no idea about the other, but I guess there, too as Amazon is quite international).
I even got myself a VPN to watch it from my location.

THANKS!<3

I had no idea any streaming service had picked em up yet. I can even see them for free with the 7 day membership, I think at least one of the titles they have is something that I never saw back in the day.

Now the only question is whether to dive right in or save them for some suitable summer-days. :S:

I bought the DVD version (only one that existed back then) some years ago (one of my best purchases ever) of this:

Quoting: tuubiOffensive things aren't automatically funny unless you're eight years old or just emotionally stunted.

It's not the things themselves, it's all the outrageous reactions of hypocrites that are funny. The thing itself is usually dumb and doesn't even deserve the attention.

How do you know that they are hypocrites?

Quoting: F.UltraFor some reason I cannot make it run fullscreen, even though fullscreen is selected everywhere it opens in window (which makes it cut the bottom and the right side since the window have the same size as the screen plus the size of the bars and so on). Mesa 18.0.1 on RX480 and kernel 4.16

Interestingly it went a little bit better if I choose windowed in the Feral launcher since that made the window borderless and thus the cut off is much smaller, however if I then ingame change to/from fullscreen then the full bordered window appear again.

Quoting: minjWhat is a session, anyway? HTTP is a state-less protocol. You get a session by saving a session identifier in a... session cookie.

You're getting stuck on the terminology. The session doesn't need to include any identifiable private data. Just a randomly generated session id and a variable that tells the service not to store cookies on the user's system.

Cookie is a cookie is a cookie, otherwise why would every random site bother you about it on your first visit ever?

There are different types of cookies and the EU rules e.g exempt the following types of cookies from the "consent requirement":

user‑input cookies (session-id) such as first‑party cookies to keep track of the user's input when filling online forms, shopping carts, etc., for the duration of a session or persistent cookies limited to a few hours in some cases
authentication cookies, to identify the user once he has logged in, for the duration of a session
user‑centric security cookies, used to detect authentication abuses, for a limited persistent duration
multimedia content player cookies, used to store technical data to play back video or audio content, for the duration of a session
load‑balancing cookies, for the duration of session
user‑interface customisation cookies such as language or font preferences, for the duration of a session (or slightly longer)
third‑party social plug‑in content‑sharing cookies, for logged‑in members of a social network.

Quoting: EagleDeltaWhile I applaud the EU for actually doing something about privacy, some of these measures in GDPR show that they don't understand how technology works. There are simply some forms of data that cannot be removed or hidden without breaking applications or websites. Database backups come to mind with the right to remove all data from all time. That's simply not financially feasible for many companies.

Think about this, a company is required by a non-EU state to keep certain data from all records of visitors that logged into a site in the last 24 months. An EU citizen requests all their data to be removed, that would include not just their data, but any data that links to them (including backups). As many backups are not stateful pieces of data you can just open and delete data from, a company/org now has to have enough money to pay for the processing power to:

• Delete a user's data (not a big deal)


• Delete links to that user in other user's data (a bit more difficult, depending on how those links exist)


• Delete all history of that user. This last one is incredibly difficult as it requires the ability to restore/open every backup from the entire history since that user was created, delete their data, then save NEW backups.... all without losing service.

Now, I have an issue with the way many companies handle our private data, but there is a certain point at which privacy IS the responsibility of the user in question, NOT the company or service they use. A Public Facebook profile is just that: PUBLIC. Once that information is out there, no amount of data removal will remove it entirely from the internet. It may remove it from Facebook's servers (for example), but any number of other people could have gathered that data easily (without needing any special API keys or access), ESPECIALLY if a user made that data available on a public page.

Word from a colleague of mine who just came back from a GDPR information session is that GDPR does not cover backups so you do not have to hunt down peoples data in your backups in order to delete data.

Quoting: mike44Sure it runs fine with my GTX1070 but why is it even slower than DX11? They have the sourcecode so they could do it perfectly without any wrapper?
Hopefully the next TR will not be that late.

Because in order for Feral to fully convert it from Windows/DX to Linux/Vulkan they would have to start like this:
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    /* ok, only a few million lines of code left to code */
    return 0;
}

Well the Install button appeared for me now but since it completes in 2 seconds there might be some issues left for Feral/Steam to work out...
