Quoting: EhvisThe vulnerabilities get a surprising amount of press compared to the risk they pose for the average person. I know just enough to realise that there is no reason to worry about these issues for any of my use cases and they I can even safely turn off all the mitigations. It does make me wonder how many people actually think that their computer might get hacked from these problems.

If a carmanufacturer had a malfunctioning car alarmsystem or doorlocking mechanism it would probably get similar coverage even though most people would still be able to park their cars on public roads.
Not sure if this is even that much coverage.

Well, the number of cars being stolen by exploiting the smart key system is actually quite substantial. And you if it wasn't for it being mentioned once or twice, I wouldn't have known about it. On the other hand, I have never heard of any hack or data leak with an in-the-wild exploit of these CPU vulnerabilities. As I understand it, it is just not a reasonable attack vector for anything other than hosts running multiple virtualised servers. And even then the chances of doing anything useful are not that great.

I was worried for a second because there really is no working OpenXR solution for Linux yet. But it appears that they will keep the OpenVR support (in deprecated state) until Valve adds their own plugin into the XR framework.

Oh, I like the style. Not the biggest fan of turn based combat in general, but I'll have to see.

Quoting: PhiladelphusFor those of us who can't easily do conversions from UTC in our heads, would it be possible in future articles to include a little widget or a link to somewhere than can do the time zone conversions? That'd be a nice quality-of-life addition. :)

In firefox I can just select it and do right click -> search google to give me the local time.

It is apparently at least one thing, good publicity. :D

Be honest, how many hours have you put into this charming game?

If you must know, I've put 6.3 hours into it according to Steam. Massive numbers right there. :D

I'm still on the beta version and I still sometimes get library freezes. It's not as common as earlier, but it's still weird.
