Quoting: slapinThat won't affect SDL1 games.Wasn't there talk of a SDL1 -> SDL2 wrapper library? So older SDL games could also benefit from the newer library?

Quoting: SwannyDoesn't help with embedded players but I use Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass [External Link] with ViolentMonkey to avoid signing in to YoutubeDoes it work with this particular video? As I recall, it just uses the embed version, which YouTube is now blocking apparently.

RetroArch need your feedback on their Open-Hardware planned for 2022

Manufacturing compatible hardware seems like opening the door to lawsuits; Nintendo in particular likes to lawyer up. I hope it doesn't go that way, but I personally wouldn't want that liability. That said, as a potential consumer, I hope it is successful!

Quoting: CatKillerI hope this won't be an issue for the Steam Deck; that they'll have rolled out their re-encoding solution by the time the Deck ships.I haven't followed too closely; does anyone know the (technical? legal?) issues with the solution used in ProtonGE?

Quoting: denyasisI'm actually curious about the log4j. I thought that was an Apache server vulnerability. What kind of server does this run? Or am I not understanding it right?log4j is a project under the Apache Foundation (along with many others, including OpenOffice). It's a logging tool written in Java, and used by a lot of Java apps. I assume Slay the Spire is written in Java.

Doesn't it seem like they are starting this process rather late? Especially since it was originally supposed to ship in December?
My reservation is saying "After Q2" as well; I guess by that time there will be enough reviews to get a good idea of whether it's worth jumping in or waiting for an updated model.
Quoting: Mountain ManIf only Valve would make something with a three.Does SteamOS 3 count? :-p
