It will stop the lazy, which is 99% of the battle. If you want some form of security, then either a user generated pin or a captcha will do the trick to keep bots away. If you want to avoid both of those, then a longer url will also work. 12 characters will prevent attacks from getting anything but lucky.

Even a captcha would work. You wouldn’t have to have your users create a one time use password, you can just have a set of 5 random numbers that someone has to type in in order to access the data.

It says that once the content is accessed, it vanishes. So, you can have a max 2 day expiration length, but as soon as someone follows the link, it’s gone? It’s not a bad idea, but it is prone to abuse. I could write a scraper app that would give me all of the active URLs and in doing so would delete any message attached to them. I personally wouldn’t, because it doesn’t serve much purpose, but if there were a malicious agent, it wouldn’t take much to wreak havoc. It wouldn’t even be a DDOS level attack, just a simple scraper using minimal resources.

Truly, though, I do like it. I just think that the automatic removal might be a risky feature.

It was just a jab at the current Stop Killing Games stuff that is going on.

Lmao. Ubi shuts down The Crew, but EA is like, “idk, give anthem another 6 months.”

I don’t know, maybe I’m just used to being bad, but I’m playing Stellar Blade right now with frame gen (and according to the new Steam overly I’m 60 regular, 60 generated frames for 120 total) and it requires fairly strict timings with parries and dodges and I haven’t had any problems. I actually just wiped the floor with 2 bosses on my first attempt.

I just recently upgraded to a card capable of frame gen. As an above average gamer, I can say that I haven’t been taken out of the game yet by any weird shit, and I haven’t noticed any input lag. I’m not hardcore by any means, but I think the average player can get on board with frame gen and have a good time.

Good, I hope the continue to kick ass.

Lol “finally”.

Most banks will offer virtual cards. You can use those instead of your actual card number, and if they get stolen you just cancel that virtual card, but your account is untouched.

The problem is that the people who would write these rules are the ones making A LOT of money on the way they are written now. For them there is no need to fix it, because it ain’t broke.

I’m glad they rushed it out without making sure they sent a good product first.

Fucking thank you. Finally another reasonable person.

Or, I don’t know, use an already open source OS… Like valve did. Lenovo made a choice, got lazy, and everyone is defending them.

Well, maybe if they tried, which Lenovo hasn’t. They chose to use barebones windows. They were lazy.

I don’t know, fuck it, keep blaming windows for everyone else’s failures. Whatever.

It’s doesn’t solve the problem because it wasn’t made for the GO. It was made by steam to be a front end for a console like experience on a TV. I’m not saying it solves Lenovo problem, just that steam made a front end over windows that fixes their problem. Lenovo didn’t.

I’m pretty sure Big Picture Mode on Desktop Steam proves that you can have a dedicated user experience curated on windows without having to rewrite the OS. Lenovo didn’t do anything, they just shipped stock windows and a storefront and assumed it would work out.

Not really a “Windows” problem, but a “Lenovo didn’t do any work to make windows better for their device” problem. Steam deck has an entire OS dedicated to making it run smoothly. What Lenovo did would be like if Valve just left you with the barebones Linux desktop and held out its hand for cash. Is Windows a perfect operating system? Fuck no. But let’s assign blame where it is earned. Windows isn’t at fault because Lenovo got lazy.

I mean, if you want to emulate a corporate ethos, I don’t think Japan should be the benchmark, either…

Frame gen shouldn’t be a crutch, and by design it’s only supposed to enhance games that’s get above 60fps naturally. It doesn’t do anything good for the open world that constantly tanks to 45. It’s not a master race thing, it’s a poor optimization thing.
