Not necessarily if you’re the one walking in with the DC++ server. Getting that thing up and running was suddenly priority #1 for the entire floor.

Playtests typically involves a full on NDA for this reason. If your playtest is aimed at creators that are allowed to stream it's not a playtest, it's a marketing exercise.

As someone who recently switched from AWS to Azure I feel your pain.

Best part is when you finally have a working solution, Microsoft sends you an email that it's being deprecated.

That hit my timeline the other day. The amount of work that has been put into that video must have been insane.

Kinda the same thing as winrar. They rather have consumers get used to it so the companies they work at have a higher chance of buying licenses. That's where the real money is.

Didn't some company have a script running that would randomly kill stuff to always test redundancies?

I vaguely recall someone telling me that about netflix

Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren't implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.

These days you're still free to ruin everyone's day with all sorts of griefing mods, but once you try and spawn in cash daddy rockstar gets angry at you.

One of the good things valve has been doing recently is cracking down hard on smurfs/alts. I started league last year and was often the only actual new player in the game. Imagine the amount of toxicity I got when people found out there was an actual noob in their new Smurf's matchmaking.

Bad play doesn't matter as much if everyone is actually on the same level. If everybody is bad, nobody is.

As someone that has to search for obscure hardware and part numbers on a regular basis Google's 'did you mean' is the bane of my existence.

If they are networked I can definitely agree.

If not, the only functional difference you get for upgrading is exchanging the floppy drive for a usb port.

It's really hard to convince people to replace a 6+ digit piece of machinery all because its control system has an EOL OS. Especially considering upgrading it to the newest model most likely means upgrading the OS from Windows 95 to Windows XP (embedded).
